Hey,
I was curious about the Math 1LS3 approach to missed tests.
If I miss one test, would it be counted as a zero? And the mark that I drop (since 3/4 count)?
Also, if that's the case .. can people just not go to the tests and do well on the exam and use that 10%tests+90%exam weighting? Or does that not count if the tests are absents?
Just curious

Is that not specified in your course outline? Typically all grading schemes if more than one are outline in my course outlines.

Yeah it should all be specified in the course outline.

It could count as a zero and then be dropped, or the ability to drop a test could be conditional upon having written all of them. The course outline should definitely say, and if you're unclear you should email the prof or a TA.
