Finals are approaching! See me about any makeup work!
Important Note: The semester ends before the winter break this year. If you will be gone during finals week, you are expected to make up your final before you leave (NOT after you return from the break). This is administration policy. If you are missing during finals week, and you have not made up the final, I will not file an "Incomplete" for you . I will calculate your final grade as a zero, and assign you a semester grade accordingly. When you return, any arrangements to change this will have to be cleared with the administration.
