you can see me tomorrow morning (also i am usually in office pretty late as well). i am sorry to hear the scheduling issue for you, but we are all bounded by university regulations
http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2008/FACS/UnIn/UARe/Exam.html
we have listed the final exam policies in our course outline
http://courses.seng.engr.uvic.ca/courses/2008/fall/csc/361
and have stressed in the very first lecture. we have also passed the draft and finalized final exam schedule to students immediately after it became available, so we cannot make changes after the schedule is finalized
what we can do has to be *fair* to all students. since you have cited yyy and zzz, i will have to cc to them as well. you may want to talk to our chair as well, so i will put her on the cc list. -j
