Is MIT cooperative with respect to Shabbat/Yom Tov exams and classes?
A. In general, yes. Exams can always be rescheduled and homework due dates can be extended when Yom Tov (or early Shabbat) necessitates it. Classes and exams on Saturdays are extremely rare. For the most part, as long as professors are provided with plenty of advance notice, they are more than willing to be cooperative. Study your syllabus immediately when you receive it and bring conflicts to their attention as soon as possible.
