physics 1b03 midterm deferral
so we have the 2nd midterm for physics 1b03 tomorrow but i been really sick for the past couple of days and had no time to study.
Im considering to defer this midterm so that it can be added to my final exam percentage
But my question is that how much harder was the exam compared to the midterm?
would i get screwed over if I make my exam worth more than it normally is?

The purpose of midterms are to make your mark less horrible than it would be if there was just an exam..

If you haven't studied then you should probably defer the test. Make sure to study for the exam though, cause it will be hard.

I'm deferring this midterm too...the exam is supposedly harder and midterms are supposed to help but if you're totally not ready, what's the point of doing the midterm when you won't even get the 15%, might as well save it for the final exam so that you have a chance of getting some of that 15% instead of walking in tomorrow and losing all of it right there and then.

And to defer, you just use the MSAF online.

You'll need a doctor's note.
