NOTE: There are no make-ups for the exams and there is NO EXTRA CREDIT in this course. You are responsible for taking the exams and for any computer/network problems you are experiencing. If you are going to miss both the mid-term and final exam for any, you should WITHDRAW from this course. If you take the exams on line you have at least 72 hours to start and complete the posted exams. If you decide to take the exam in class during the schedule exam date, you will have to bring a computer and access the internet if you want to earn a good grade, since part of the questions deal with CJ related websites.
If you do not begin the exam the day it is posted, and you have internet problems when taking it later, you will not be given additional time.
