Concepts of Human Anatomy 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. Talking by students during lectures will not be tolerated. Such disruptive behavior disturbs other students and distracts us from conveying important lecture material. This policy does not mean that questions should not be asked.
