General
information for ALL courses taught at FIU
1.
Cancellation of Tests
or
Quizzes:
If a TEST or Quiz is cancelled due to a HURRICANE or other emergency,
the TEST or Quiz will be given on the first
meeting of the class after the
hurricane or emergency. You should check the FIU
website (if you have power) or call the FIU hotline (or the Miami-Dade
Hurricane emergency hotline) for the latest updates about hurricanes.
2.
Make-up Tests:
If you missed the
first test
in the semester for an allowable, legitimate, verifiable reason you may
be able to take a make-up exam as long as you provide adequate
documentation and adequate notice. You must take the make up
test
on the first
opportunity you get to return to school. (The allowable reasons
include medical emergencies, traffic accidents in which your car
becomes non-functional on your way to the exam, deaths
in the immediate family. As always you must provide
documentation.) If you miss
quizzes
or later exams, you will not get a make-up;
your others
scores will instead be averaged to produce your final grade.
3. Incomplete grades:
In order to get an
incomplete
grade, IN, the total points in the tests or quizzes you took
must be add up to a total at least 50% of the total course points, you
must have an overall passing grade in the tests or quizzes taken so
far, and
the reason you missed the
Final Exam must
be an allowable, legitimate, verifiable one. You must
also inform (via e-mail or phone) the professor in charge, within 2
hours after the Final Exam was
administered, and provide all documentation before you take the make-up
Final Exam. Failure to provide the proper documentation by the
end of the first week of the following semester
will result in a zero score in the Final Exam and the grade which that
entails. You usually have until the end of the following
semester to actually take the make-up Final exam but you
are encouraged to do so as early as possible. Make-up Final
Exams
cannot be given in the
Semester break.
4.
Permission numbers for
getting into a full class:
We are not allowed to give out permission
numbers until the first class meeting because we have to ensure that
the classroom has space for everyone to whom we give a permission
number. If you wish to get into a full class,
please come to the first class
meeting and we will try our best to accommodate everyone.
For
multi-section courses we do not usually give out any permision numbers
unless all the
sections are full. No permission numbers will
be given out at, or after, the second class meeting.
5.
Attendance Policy:
Class attendance is mandatory but allowances
will be made for illnesses, emergencies, and officially sanctioned
religious holidays (provided your professor is notified about at
least 2 weeks before such holidays) as long as the total amount of
absences do not exceed 40%.. If, for whatever reason, you
attend less than 60% of the classes, you will automatically be assigned
a failing grade and you
may
have to pay back the university any subsidy that you received.
(Please check with Registration & Financial Aid about
this.) If you anticipate that you will not be able to reach
the 60% threshold (because of severe injury, prolonged illness, or
other problems),
please inform the registrar as soon as possible and try to get a
withdraw or a late drop. Your professor cannot help you in
these circumstances - only the registrars can, and the earlier you tell
them about the problem, the better it will be for you.

Miscellaneous
NOTE: Many of the files for old tests and solutions for courses
that I am not currently teaching are temporarily removed because they
take up a lot of my allocated webspace.
So those links will lead nowhere. I keep the links so
I can just put back the files (and remove others)
and then gain access when I teach those particular courses.
Also most of the
links in the last group above lead nowhere because this homepage is
still under
construction.
