We will provide any necessary and reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities, including accommodations for all of the exams. If you qualify for testing accommodations, please get the required documentation from the Disability and Access office. Bring me the documentation after class or during my in-person office hours and I will give you all the information you need to schedule your exams through the Chemistry department office.
For students with accommodations registered with the Disability and Access office, on the day of the exam you can take the exam in the Chemistry department testing center anytime between 9 AM and 5 PM if that timing works for you. Click here to schedule those exams. If that timeframe does not work for you, then please come to UTC 1.132 starting at 4 PM on the night of the exam for the midterms. That room will be distraction free and will be available until 10 PM with a proctor present. Please come see me after class if you have any questions. Note if have provided me with your accomodations letter and you are taking your exam in UTC 1.132, you do NOT need to check with us ahead of time, just report to the room when you are ready to take the exam and there will be one waiting for you.

3. This code encompasses all the academic and scholarly endeavors of the University community.
Any violation of the above Honor Code that occurs during an exam or in the regrading process will result in a 0 being assigned for that exam and the student involved will be formally reported to the Dean of Students, where they will be subject to additional penalties or actions. The exam with the 0 will be automatically counted in the final grade calculation at the end of the semester.
Regrades:
Exams can be turned in for regrades. Regrades must be submitted within 7 days after the exam is handed back. They can be handed the to myself or one of the TA's. You must indicate what problems need to be regraded, and provide a brief explanation for your concern. The entire exam will be regraded.
Exam rules:
The midterms and final are in-person only. You will not be allowed to have any reference materials or any other aids during the exams. Because of recent incidents, you will not be allowed to interact with your cell phone in any way during exams. No exceptions. Turn them off, or leave them at home. Interacting with a cell phone during an exam will be considered a violation of the Honor Code and will result in a 0 being recorded for your grade on the exam, no matter what you were actually doing with the phone.
Incompletes:
Incompletes (Final grade entered as X): An incomplete may be issued only in the case of compelling, nonacademic circumstances beyond the student's control.
