Msaf Bio 1m03 Midterm
Hey guys, I haven't been feeling very well this weekend so i wasn't able to study for bio and my other midterm at the same time, hence i am underprepared for bio, so I will submit an msaf as i am unable to write the bio midterm today however i don't want to miss my bio tut, its basically participation marks where i sit around and watch people present... so how do i submit one? do i submit it after today, right now? and i heard i have to meet alastair after I'm better, is that true? Thanks

Submit the MSAF as soon as possible then follow up with Alistair in person within 2 days of submitting it. If you'r not feeling well enough to meet him in person I'm sure you can email him about it. Basically you're just confirming with him that he received the MSAF and will adjust the weight of your grades accordingly.

Hey!


I MSAFED the first bio midterm and Allistair never asked to meet with me. You follow up with him by email and he adds it to your final!

If you are/were legitimately sick that is fine, but don't make this a habit. Many people use an MSAF to dodge midterms, but don't realize the consequences. It's almost universal that finals are the most poorly done components of any course. Routinely shifting weights to your final will negatively impact your grades.
