I may curve any grade and will then compute the course grade by the

for at least 70 points, D for at least 60 points and F for less than
60 points.
Make-up policy: Make-ups for
missed quizzes and exams will only be allowed for a university approved
excuse in writing. Wherever possible, students should inform the
instructor before an exam or quiz is missed. Consistent with University
Student Rules, students are required to notify an instructor by the
end of the next working day after missing an exam or quiz. Otherwise,
they forfeit their rights to a make-up.

Copying work done by others, either in-class or out of class, is an act
of scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted to the full extent
allowed by University policy. Collaboration on assignments, either
in-class or out-of-class, is forbidden unless permission to do so is
granted by your instructor. For more information on university policies
regarding scholastic dishonesty, see University Student Rules.
