Final Exam Schedule

Click here for the school's official schedule.

For my classes:

  1. All Projects must be ready to go before you walk into class on the scheduled exam time.
  2. No last minutes fixes or technology problems will be accepted as a reason for not being ready.
  3. There was enough time for issued to complete the projects; therefore choosing to wait until the last minute and not being ready is not acceptable.
