Students who are consistently unable to respond meaningfully can expect to have their final grade lowered by one half a letter grade. Prompt attendance at all class sessions is expected and required. Students who arrive after attendance is taken may, at their request, be marked tardy. Two tardies will be considered the equivalent of one absence. As circumstances may arise which make attendance impossible, four absences or less will not adversely effect grades.
Students missing more than four class sessions can expect to have their final grade reduced.
Students may divide up the labor at each phase, as long as all team members are fully involved in each phase. Each student will turn in their own copy of the Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion sections, as noted below and in the class schedule. While students may consult with group members, it is expected that the drafts submitted by each student will reflect their own work. Students who turn in drafts that are essentially copies of another group member s work can expect to be given a zero for the assignment. A trip to the library at UC Berkeley may be required.
