No make-up tests will be given for any reason. Instead, the percentage of the final grade associated with each test missed (25 \% each test) will be added to the final examination percentage (for example, if you miss one test, your final exam will be worth 45 \% of your final grade, etc.). No credit for late assignments will be provided. \\
