Announced exams are not to be missed except for excused absences. An absence will only be excused with a written, signed Doctor's statement, or an official University administration excuse. Furthermore, it is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor of a missed exam within 72 hours of the finish of the exam. Make-up exams will be administered after the final exam. Classroom attendance is required.
Attendance is required at all scheduled laboratories.
To this end, live animals including fish, frogs, turtles, mice, and rats may be used and sacrificed in some laboratories. The understanding of the dynamics and physiology of the organ systems is extremely difficult without the study of live animals. All animals will be treated with the respect and dignity that they deserve at all times. All beepers, cell phones and other outside communication devices will be turned off during class. Their intrusion and use during class are disruptive to the learning process and to those around you.
