Review and re-examination
Review and re-examination.
| 1. | A student may, either by or without entrance into a class, review any subject in which he has a passing grade, and, by permission of the Faculty, be re-examined on such subject at the time of the regular class examination. The final grade thus obtained shall be substituted for the first, |
| 2. | The regular times for class examinations are the only occasions on which a student having a passing grade may present himself for re-examination, except in cases where it is clearly impossible for him to be present. In such cases the Faculty may set a time for his examination. |
| 3. | The re-examination provided for in the preceding rules shall be limited to subjects pursued or passed on by the student during the scholastic year immediately preceding the proposed examination, but this re-examination shall not be allowed more than once. |
| 4. | All private examinations granted under the rule, i. e., those which are asked for after the public examinations have taken place and at which a student failed to be present, shall be conducted in writing. |
Students cannot be examined privately, but must pass the public examination of their classes, or lose their class standing.
No student who has been absent from his class for more than a third of the time, shall be admitted to the regular class examination for the purpose of obtaining his final grade; such student may, however, on petition to the Faculty, be granted a special written examination, to cover the whole subject gone over, and the Secretary shall keep and preserve the examination paper, graded and signed by the Professor in charge.
The mathematical department was exempted from the operation of this rule.
Each candidate for graduation is required to prepare a thesis, oration or essay, which may be delivered or not, at the discretion of the Faculty, and a copy of the same, on thesis paper, must be filed with the University Librarian, to be kept in the archives.
Students in the course in science will hereafter be required to present, instead of an oration, an inaugural thesis or essay upon a scientific topic for graduation.
