An assignment is penalized 20% for each day (or part of a day) that it is late. The lowest quiz score is dropped to accommodate students who have life circumstances that prevent them from taking a quiz. There are no makeup quizzes. Exams can be made up only if each of the following criteria are met: 1. The circumstance that caused the student to miss the exam is unexpected, verifiable, and beyond the student's control. 2. The student contacts the instructor as soon as possible by leaving a message at the phone number listed on the syllabus or by sending an email to rock@uwm.edu. The message/email must contain a phone number the instructor can use to contact the student. With sufficient advance notice, the instructor may allow students to take the exam at an alternate time to accommodate travel for extramural activities, work schedule, etc. Arranging to take the exam at an alternate time in advance is not considered a makeup exam.
