*An excused change is one caused by a regularly scheduled (in the course schedule) class or lab class. NOT an organization meeting, music practice or a job. If you have any unexcused conflicts, it is up to you to arrange to be present at the midterm exams from 6-9 PM on the designated day.
Note if you are taking your exam in UTC 4.122, 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.

Policy on Exam Coverage: You will be responsible for all material covered up to the
Tuesday lecture the week of each midterm unless I say otherwise in class. Also, the pace of the
class can vary, so do not be concerned if we are not on the same schedule as described in this
syllabus under "proposed exam topics". The bottom line is that you are only responsible for
the material covered in the Tuesday lecture the week of each midterm, NO MATTER WHAT THE SCHEDULE ON THE NEXT PAGE OF SYLLABUS SAYS ABOUT "UNITS" COVERED
ON EACH MIDTERM.
Students with Disabilities: 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 you must take your midterm exams in UTC 3.122, which will be available from 4 - 10 PM on the nights of the midterm exams. UTC
3.122 will be distraction free with a proctor present. Please come see me after class if you have any questions.
