If you have a conflict with an examlet, or are too sick to reasonably take it, or miss the examlet for any other reason, contact the instructor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to arrange a makeup. For routine viruses (the most common situation), we expect to hear from you the day of the exam. For conflicts planned long in advance, tell us a week or two ahead of the examlet date. If you have a major unplanned problem (e.g. serious illness), contact us as soon as you reasonably can.
Because this class meets first thing in the morning, it is often impossible to acknowledge late evening or early morning emails before the examlet starts. Even if you haven't heard from us, stay home if you are sick, come to the exam if your conflict has evaporated at the last minute, and so forth.
You will do your makeup in class the following week or the week after that. That is, you will take the regularly scheduled examlet at 9:30 (even if your usual sitting would be 10:10). When you turn that in, ask the proctors for the makeup examlet. If you do not make up your examlet on either of these two following Thursdays, you will have to fill in the zero using your one optional retake at the final exam (which is capped at 80%).
Missed examlets 11 and 12 can also be made up at the final exam.
If you normally take your exams at DRES, schedule your makeups for times similar to these.
When this normal makeup plan can't reasonably work, e.g. extended illness, contact the instructor promptly to set up an appropriately modified plan.
The examlet collection schedule gives you at least two weeks to collect examlets taken on time, and at least one week to collect makeup examlets. If you have an extended (e.g. multi-week) excuse that makes it impossible (or very unreasonable) to collect your work on this schedule, you must contact your instructor to arrange an alternate plan.
Suppose you realize during an exam that you are sick, e.g. you have a sudden need to use the restroom. In this case, give your partial work to the proctors, explaining that you are sick. We will arrange for you to do a makeup, just as if you had missed the examlet.
If you have a minor problem during an exam but feel it is best to keep working, email the instructor promptly after the exam. This can sometimes affect your grade if you end the term right below a grade boundary. However, this must be done promptly, not (for example) at the end of the term.
