Absence from one class meeting does not excuse a student from taking a test or turning in work that is due on the next class meeting even if the only announcement of the work due was during the class that was missed. If possible, notify the instructor before being absent. Make up tests will have additional essay questions and a 55 minute time limit ending at the close of that posted time slot. If you show up late you get less time. There will be no make-up labs .
Students investigate the biology of animals by dissecting specimens of the various animal groups.
You cannot receive full credit for a lab you missed. There will be no make-up labs. Tests, including lab practicals, will be given at mid term and the end of the course over the material learned in lab. The final lab grade will be a weighted average of graded lab questions, participation, and lab practicals, and this final lab grade will be used in calculating the final course grade. No food or drink in the lab rooms.
