Final Exams
If a faculty member is planning on having a final exam, this must be requested. See this page for full details: https://registrar.mit.edu/classes-grades-evaluations/examinations/examination-policies/request-final-exam
Courses with final exams have a different final grade deadline from courses with out a final exam
Presentations
If a course is going to have final presentations, they should happen during the regular class time though faculty can request to have them after classes end.
Exemptions
11.303 has an exemption to hold a final presentation after the end of classes.
- The exemption lasts 5 years and was last renewed in Feb. 2022
- It will need to be renewed in 2027 if this course still has the post-class presentation
A copy of the 11.303 Studio Final Presentation Exemption email can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3zn1xoh6nobt45/11303%20Exemption.pdf?dl=0. You may want to include the information in my original note when you email Tami again this spring asking for another 5-year exemption for Studio. It may also be a helpful guide for what to include if there are other classes in the future that will need a similar exemption.
