Course Policies
PRISM accounts: All students must have a PRISM account; if you do not have an account, you will be unable to write the labtests. If you don't have one already, see the PRISM lab monitor to set one up. Important information will be sent to your PRISM email address. You are expected to either check your PRISM email regularly, or arrange to have it forwarded to an account that you check regularly.
Drop deadline: The last date to drop the course without receiving a grade is November 7.
Missed tests and labtests: If you miss a test or labtest due to reasons outside of your control, notify your course director immediately. Documentary evidence will be required to justify your absence (e.g., doctor's note in case of illness). The weight from the missed test or labtest will be transferred to the final exam; a “make-up” test will not be offered due to the high complexity of administering one. Failure to follow these procedures will result in a grade of zero for the missed test or labtest.
Attempting a test or labtest while sick: Do not attend or attempt to write a test or labtest if you are feeling sick enough that your performance would be affected. Instead, follow the procedure above for missed tests and labtests. If you attend and/or attempt to write the test or labtest, your grade for that test or labtest will stand.
Re-grading of a test or labtest: If you believe there is an error in grading your test or labtest, you must submit a request in writing (or by email) for re-grading, clearly explaining the error that you believe was made. The entire test or labtest will be subject to re-evaluation, and your grade may go up, go down, or stay the same. If you do not request re-grading within one week of receiving your graded work, your grade will be considered final.
