If you miss one midterm, you will receive a grade of zero for that exam. This zero will be the grade that is removed from your overall score, as described in the grading policy.
If you miss a second midterm, the make-up will be in the form of an in-depth oral exam on the material covered. You will be randomly assigned one paragraph title to present. After a preparation time of about 20 minutes, you will present the material of that paragraph to the professor. During the presentation, you will be asked questions to probe the depth and rigor of your understanding. You will be given a problem to solve.
