The laboratory will allow students to experience the thrill of discovery in the scientific world. It enables students to be scientists, and learn techniques and tools that scientists use every day. Students are expected to have read the assigned chapters for the upcoming class. Participation by all students is strongly encouraged. This includes participating in class discussions, sharing current topics in biology via newspapers, TV, journals, etc., or discussing something interesting you have observed.
Assignments are to be turned in on time, typed or printed, and stapled.
Assignments turned in late will be dropped one letter grade per day late. Excessive absences and lateness will adversely effect your grade. Attendance in lab is mandatory and there are no make up labs available. You are responsible for announcements, materials handed out, or topics discussed during a missed class period. Makeup exams will be available ONLY to those with a verifiable excused absence, and who have informed the instructor in advance that they will miss the exam.
