Methods for identifying impacts, describing the affected environment, predicting and assessing impacts and selecting the proposed action from a group of alternatives for meeting specified needs will be examined. The laboratory session will involve the completion of a portion of an environmental assessment involving potential biological impacts. The intent of homework is to supplement class discussion and to provide a diagnostic assessment of the level of mastering the material. Collaboration on homework is acceptable and occasionally desirable. It is to your advantage, however, to be able to solve the problems yourself as you may be asked to do so on exams.
Homework is to be handed in on time .
Late homework will be automatically dropped one letter grade to prevent those who have put forth the effort to complete the exercise on time from being penalized. The final exam will be comprehensive, covering the entire semester. Exams are to be taken when scheduled. You will not be allowed to take any exam on a date and time other than that scheduled unless you have a verifiable medical emergency . If other circumstances force you to take an exam at a non-scheduled time, your grade will automatically be dropped one letter grade.
