<p>Harvard Alert - Unconfirmed reports of explosives at four sites on campus: Science Center, Thayer, Sever, and Emerson. Please evacuate those buildings now.</p>
<p>These are options available to students who missed exams today:</p>
<p>We understand most students are expressing eagerness to take the exams for which they have prepared. However, if for any reason a student does not feel able to take an exam including anxiety, loss of study time, lack of access to material and belongings left in one of the affected buildings, or travel schedule that student should be in touch immediately with his or her resident dean. Any such student will have the option of being graded on their coursework to date, excluding the exam. Those students will have the option of requesting to be graded Pass/Fail for the course without incurring any penalty in their progress toward degree.</p>
<p>In some instances, this might be fair but overall I think it is overly generous, or they should offer these options to all students who miss exams for illness etc. too.</p>
<p>Well…I posted this in the parents forum. A 20 year old H freshman, Eldo Kim, has been arrested and charged with making the bomb threat. He was scheduled to take an exam in one of the buildings he named in the threat. Of course, at this point, it’s an allegation, but…</p>
<p>Smart people do stupid things sometimes.</p>
