Math Department Final Exam Absences Policy

From a memo to instructors:

F, WU GRADE

• The cleanest way to handle students who miss the final exam is to simply compute the grade with a zero for the final. In all likelihood, the final letter grade will be F or WU – (if student stops attending after May 15).

INC GRADE

• An INC grade prevents students from registering for any class with the prerequisite of the MAT class in question and has been more difficult to manage in recent semesters.
• Only if a student is BOTH passing AND you receive approved documentation, are they eligible for a makeup final conducted approximately two weeks prior to the start of the Fall semester.

ALL (3) CRITERIA MUST BE MET FOR MAKEUP FINAL:

1. Student PASSING the course (D or higher)
2. DOCUMENTATION received by YOU for a valid excuse such as:
   • Serious Illness *Requires Pre-Approval from John Currie; student must submit medical documentation to John Currie, (Student Accessibility Director) who in turn must inform YOU if approved – Only then may you submit this form. (john.currie37@citytech.cuny.edu; L-237)
   • Jury Duty (Summons) *Please present to Student Accessibility (see above)
   • Death in the Family (Bereavement) *Please present documentation to Student Affairs N325.
   • TRAVELING IS NOT AN EXCUSE
3. After verifying documentation, complete a MAKEUP APPROVAL FORM and upload an “Incomplete Resolution Plan” form (required if giving INC grade) at the end of the makeup approval form.

• You should have received an email from the math department about a “reflection and support” module in WeBWorK. This is separate from your usual WeBWorK homework and will not impact your overall WeBWorK score, though it’s there to help you with the course material. When you click the link in the email and log in with the information yo were sent, it will take you to a separate WeBWorK section with three sets. Complete each of the three sets for five extra participation points (you’ll get the five extra points only if you complete all three sets).
  • The timeline for the different part of the module is as follows. As long as the activities are open, you can take as much time as you need to answer the questions. However, for Activity Demo and Activity, you have only one attempt to submit your work. To submit your work, you need to click on Grade Test after working on all problems.
    • MAT2580-Reflection and Support (due 4/29)
    • MAT2580-Activity-Demo (due 5/13)
    • MAT2580-Activity (opens 4/29, due 5/13)
