FINAL EXAM
Please note that if you want to come back and discuss your grades or to see your final exam, you need to do so before the dates mentioned below. After the date the exams will be destroyed and no grade change will be made under any circumstances.
Fall 115 -- till 28th February of the next year.
Spring 116 and Summer 115/116 -- till October 15th of the next semester.
After that all the exams will be discarded and no grades will be reviewed.
Change of Grade:
For any reason if you have a grade change, it needs to be done in a reasonable amount of time. You have two months from the date the grades are posted to ensure any correction is made and is showing on your transcript. No grade change will be made after this time.
You are responsible to check that the grade change is made on your transcript.
Recommndation Letters (FORM please put a date on the form)
Many of you come for recommendation letters after you have taken the class with me for various things. It may be a good idea to come and meet with me when you are still in class so I have some idea of who you are, also remember that every semester I have many recommendation requests, so give me enough time. Also I will not write a recommendation letter if the attached form is half filled. Do not forget to put a date on the form.
