Twelve quizzes will be given during the first 10 minutes of each Friday lecture of non-exam weeks covering material from the lectures and labs from the previous week since the last quiz. The lowest two quizzes will be dropped. Quizzes can not be made up. A missed quiz will be counted as the dropped quiz. Make-up exams will be essay or oral at the instructors' discretion.
Attendance is mandatory in laboratories.
Lab coats for labs in Ag. 114, and barn clothes for labs at the farms are strongly recommended. Summaries are to be obtained from a scientific paper published in 2000 or 2001 from the journals Biology of Reproduction, Theriogenology or Journal of Reproduction and Fertility. The summaries should not exceed 2 pages and should include the journal reference, introduction, methods, results, and discussion. Extra credit opportunities will also show up occasionally on the course webpage.
