Since lecture will last the full scheduled hour, please do not 'pack up' before lecture has concluded. It is distracting to me and to your classmates. If you miss an exam you must have a valid excuse with written documentation. I do not give make-ups but will instead average your final grade based on other work in the class. You are expected to make all the deadlines for projects.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class, before lecture begins.
If you need to turn in a paper outside of class time, do so in the Biology department office and get it time and date stamped by one of the office secretaries. Papers found under my door will be considered 'received' when I personally find them. Both articles will address a nutrition topic. Written instructions for the assignment will be handed out in class. This will require integrating material covered throughout the semester.
