the end of the semester. Please check if your classes comply with MITs rules for end-of-term tests and assignments. Your professors might not be aware of these rules! Here are a few key examples:</span></font></font></div>

that you can take. If you are comfortable doing so, you can talk to the professor directly. You can also report the violation anonymously to the UA or to the Chair of the Faculty. Please reach out as soon as possible. Late in the semester, violations become
increasingly difficult to resolve in a manner that is fair to everyone.</span></font></font></div>
