For example, Mergers and Acquisitions is first covered in week 8 (class 7) of the course, so the Apple lab on M;A will be due by the Tuesday night of the eighth week of the course. Please note that there is one exception to this rule. The first Apple lab on the cost of capital will be due on the Tuesday night of the third week of class, not the Tuesday night of the second week of class. Detailed deadlines for the labs are posted at the Apple website. Each of the labs covers material that students will be covering in class and in the homework.
It will give you the opportunity to measure your progress in understanding the material. The students highest score for any lab will be the one recorded for grading purposes. You may make a maximum of THREE attempts at any Apple question/page. Each lab contains a number of questions. However, after the due date has passed, students will not be able to make any additional attempts at the labs for marks. Alternative to Apple Labs (10%) You are not required to complete the Apple Labs. Asana alternative, you can choose to write three quizzes spaced throughout the semester. Each quiz will be worth 3. 3% of your grade.
Each quiz will be 30 minutes in length, and each will be scheduled at 6:00 P. M. On Friday night, on the 4th, 8th, and 12th regularly scheduled Fridays of the semester.

The room number will be supplied to you at least four days in advance of writing. Please note that the room number will probably not be he room in which you take your class.
The material covered in each quiz can include any of the material covered up to that point in the course. If a student misses a quiz and has a properly completed medical certificate the student may transfer the weight of the missed quiz or quizzes to the next quiz. In the event that a student misses the third quiz, he/she may transfer the weight of the missed quiz or quizzes to the exam, assuming that the proper medical documentation has been submitted. The absence of proper medical documentation will result in a grade of O for the weight assigned to that quiz.
If you wish to choose this alternative to Apple, you must inform your instructor via e-mail no later than the third Friday of the semester. If you have not done so by that time, you will have forgone your opportunity to choose this alternative.
