Makeup exams may be requested by students with conflicts, although we reserve the right to deny makeups for non-legitimate conflicts or for students who fail to follow our directions. (This has, unfortunately, happened in the past.) Requests stemming from University-imposed conflicts are certainly considered legitimate.
Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis, and we make individual arrangements for students, rather than scheduling a single makeup time slot. Hence, for example, for a student who has a conflicting exam with another course, the arrangement may end up being that the student takes the CS 1110 exam at the regular time and the other course's makeup: Cornell tradition is that the larger course usually supplies the makeup.
To handle the process of working with many individual constraints and sometimes arranging individual exams, roughly three weeks before each exam, we will release an "assignment" on CMS for students to request a makeup. Follow the directions in the make-up petition template. If asked for a weekly screenshot, here are acceptable and unacceptable screenshots.
Exams are never offered on an earlier date, so do not plan to leave campus in May prior to our Final Exam.

To give you some idea of what the exams might be like, we are freely posting all of the exams from earlier semesters for you to review. However, please be aware of the following:
The material covered changes every semester in CS 1110. Furthermore, material is not always covered in the same order. The topics on these older exams may not be the topics in our exams.
In particular, the material between the Fall and Spring semesters can be quite different.
