If you miss the midterm, you will get a mark of zero unless you have informed me BEFOREHAND and I have agreed that you may miss it.
If I agree that you may miss the midterm, there will be no make-up midterm. Instead, the weight of your final exam will be increased to include the weight of the midterm. The final will now be worth 65%.
If you inform me AFTERWARD that you were unable to write the midterm, you will get a mark of zero.
