BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Chemistry students at the University of Colorado will be excused from their Tuesday night midterm exam -- but only if they can show a selfie proving they were caucusing instead.
The Daily Camera reports (http://bit.ly/21mpVEn ) that roughly 1,200 students are scheduled to take the exam for an introductory chemistry class at the same time as Colorado's caucuses, which began at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Chemistry department chair Carl Koval says cancelling and rescheduling the exam would be a logistical nightmare.
So he decided that students who talk to their professors in advance can get an excused absence. Since those absences normally require documentation, like a doctor's note, Koval asked students to take a selfie to prove they were actually at the caucus.
