* There will be an optional "universal make-up" exam during the final exam period. The grade on that examination, if taken, will replace any single missed test (or the lowest regular test grade if all were taken).
** Each quiz will count for 4 points, but there will be more than 5 quizzes. Only the highest 5 quiz grades will count toward the overall quiz grade.
