I guarantee that coming to ask questions on material you do not completely understand will increase your grade in the class. If you come to student hours and still get questions wrong on the exam about the topic we discussed, I will refund those points! This guarantee is subject to the following conditions:

1. Refund points are good for up to two topics on each exam, and up to a total of 10 percentage points per exam.
2. You and I must agree in writing using the following online form:
   https://murraylax.org/studentguarantee/. On this form, we document very specifically what we discussed and we both agree that I have explained the topic sufficiently and that you have acquired a good understanding from our discussion.
3. Often we discuss more than one topic in student hours. In such circumstances, a guarantee for the student hours visit will not cover everything we discussed, only one specific topic.
4. You must fill out the above form after your student hours appointment, and on the same day. The form must be filled out at least 12 hours before the exam time.
5. You must have attended class when the topic was taught.
6. Only three guarantee forms may be filed before each exam.
7. Only one guarantee form may be filed on a single day. Therefore, filing two or three guarantee forms before an exam will require at least two or three separate student hours visits, respectively.
8. After the exam, if you get questions wrong that were guaranteed, it is your responsibility to recognize this and present your graded exam and your copy of the guarantee form to notify me you should get the points refunded.
9. Due to time limitations, the student hours guarantee does not apply to the final exam.

Note: This is not "extra credit for going to student hours" (there is no extra credit for this class). This is a guarantee that student hours are effective at improving your learning and your grade, and past semesters have revealed that is a much more likely outcome than receiving points back on your exam.
