You have a "NO MAKE UP EXAM" policy and the student appears to be OK. What course of action do you take next? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You definitely need a doctor's note, but you also probably need to change your policy! And if your mid-term is 40%, I'm assuming your final is 40%? That seems like a lot. My school is strict about making up final exams--excuses have to go through administration. Maybe you should ask your administration to consider something like that if you are required to give a mid-term.
