Make-up Lecture Examinations

If you miss a lecture examination, you are not allowed to take the multiple-choice version. Instead, you must take the make-up version. You will take the make-up version in the Learning Enhancement Center (and I will not be there to answer questions). You may complete a make-up examination any time before the REGULAR semester ends (NOT finals week). You must present your ID at the LEC to be allowed to take the examination. Give yourself enough time before the LEC closes, because you will be required to finish the examination in one sitting.

Metric System Practice

These aren't for points (even though they appear under Assignments), but I urge you to complete them as a way to prepare for the quiz. Don't just skip to the answers; try them first.
