=== Skipping the final exam ===

To skip the final exam, you must meet the following criteria:

 * You must not come to class or office hours sick!
 * All coursework must be completed and turned in on time.
 * Your course grade before the final must be above a 93%
 * You must receive a grade offer via email prior to the end of the last regularly scheduled class.

The professor reserves the right to make a judgement call at any time and revoke this opportunity.

=== Corrections on Work ===

It is the responsibility of the student to review the homework and tests. Your teachers are not infallible and I personally am happy to correct any mistakes you find provided that you notify me in a reasonable time. What is reasonable? ''You have one week from the time I return your work (of any kind) to request that I review your work.'' For work on gradescope, please request the re-grade on gradescope. Otherwise you need to email me or stop by my office during office hours.

''Regardless of the above time constraints, ALL corrections must be made by the end of the last day of regular classes.''

B

80% - 90%

Academic Honesty: Cheating

Cheating will not be tolerated. Verified incidents of dishonesty may receive a punishment as specified in the catalog (see: Procedures for Handling Academic Dishonesty. Unless specifically communicated in class verbally or in writing, collaboration on any work in this class is considered cheating. In addition, the School of Computing has an additional policy on academic honesty. See [We need a link here]
