Do not make travel plans that conflict with the midterm tests or your final exam. If an emergency prevents you from taking the final exam at the allotted time, speak to your Class Dean immediately to arrange for an incomplete grade, and to me to schedule a make-up exam.

The schedule below is subject to minor changes. Any substantial corrections will be announced by email.
