Human and Physiology Laboratory Manual . Attendance is not mandatory in lecture although it is strongly encouraged because exam questions are taken from each lecture. If a student misses a lecture, that student is expected to obtain lecture notes from another student in the class and to make up any material covered in his or her absence. Students work in pairs in the laboratory, and an absence imposes a hardship on the partner that does attend regularly. Lab attendance is taken and will be a factor in determining borderline final course grades.
Attendance is absolutely mandatory on exam days.
These dates are announced weeks in advance, and few excuses are acceptable. For laboratory practicals, no excuse is acceptable, and attendance is required. Your lecture grade will be based on 350 points derived from three exams. The first two exams will be given during the course and will count 100 points each. The final exam will be comprehensive, will count 150 points, and will emphasize the last third of the material covered.
