will be
many
opportunities for exltra credit, including attendance and strong
participation.
These extra credit will constitute up to 10% of total.

adjusted scores
will be used in the computation of the final score using the following

miss any one of the comprehensive exams with
an unavoidable reason or my prior approval, the average score of the other three exams will be used as the score of the missed comprehensive exam.

miss any one of the term exams with an unavoidable reason or my prior approval, your
score for the exam is 0.
- If you
miss any of the exams without an unavoidable reason or my prior approval, your grade will be an automatic F.
