All students are required to be in attendance for their scheduled midterm exam time with Mr. Porfido.

Final & MidTerm Projects will be presented, graded, and peer reviewed during our 2 hour time slot.

Your final project/midterm MUST be ready to go during your scheduled exam time. Enough time was issued for all students, not only to complete the assignment, but to do an exceptional job.

Any student not turning in a project will receive a "0" unless a doctor's note is provided.
