	'''Exams:''' Exams may require a computer. You can borrow a computer from the library, if needed. In the past, I have allowed StatCrunch and calculator use on exam but not Google searches, access to this website, or use of your computer in any other way. I am considering rewriting some of the exams so that computer use is not necessary. Absences on exam days must be excused through the Dean of Students, who needs to send a letter to me indicating that they excuse your absence. If excused through the Dean of Students, you do not need to disclose the reason to me.		'''Exams:''' Exams may require a computer. You can borrow a computer from the library, if needed.

-'''Hybrid Office Hours:'''  In the past, my office hours have been inconvenient for many students, and attendance has been poor.  So I am going to try an experiment this semester.  If the experiment isn't successful, we will make adjustments.  We are going to try to use a tool called slack: https://slack.com/ which describes itself as a collaboration hub.  During the first week of class, I will provide instructions for logging in.  With slack we will be able to communicate, and students can ask questions for all to see.  I can answer questions for all to see, and other students can chime in.  On Tuesday and Friday, I will make sure I answer slack questions.  On other days I may answer questions, too.  The hybrid aspect comes in that if there are issues which need face to face time, we can make arrangements publicly over slack, so others can join.  Private messaging is also available, as is posting images, etc.  I am not yet sure what my availability will be for these face-to-face meetings, but they will be arranged flexibly, so that those who want to come can come.

 * Please note that inconvenience with travel plans is NOT a valid excuse for not taking the final as scheduled.
 * If you miss the final or any exam, you will need an excuse through the Dean of Students.
-* With an excused absence, the make up may not be until next semester (June or September)...in the meantime you will get an incomplete.
+* An incomplete will ONLY be given under extreme circumstances.  A student receiving an incomplete must be passing the class.  If you miss the final exam, the only options available to me are to give you a zero for the final exam or an incomplete in the class.
