If you wish to ask for an extension on an assignment, please see me well in advance of the due date. Make-up tests, quizzes, or labs will only be allowed if you are sick or need to miss class due to another school obligation. If you know you are going to miss class due to a sports commitment or other trip, please see me well in advance to make arrangements. Safety within a laboratory setting is of paramount importance to create a productive environment. Inappropriate behavior involving lab equipment or horseplay will not be tolerated.
Science is a cooperative adventure.
You are encouraged to help each other and seek outside resources and aid, but the final product must be YOUR work. The format of the tests will vary, including multiple choice, short answer, and essay. Tests will stress material covered in class and concepts from labs. Quizzes may not always be announced ahead of time. The quizzes may cover material from the book which has not been mentioned in class.
