Rules and Regulations

Attendance : To encourage attendance, students can earn a bonus on their total

points of 30 points for perfect attendance in lab & lecture. (each absence = 10 points

less, each late = 5 points less). Although there are times when missing class cannot be

helped, these extra credit points are only for perfect attendance. No excuses for bonus

points. Stay healthy.

There are no makeup exams except with prior approval. Such makeup exams will

usually be more rigorous than normally scheduled exams. There are no make-ups for

Labs at all. Points will also be deducted for late lab reports.

Add and/or drop Policy : Because of the loss of funding that occurs when students fail to add a

class by the add deadline, the Life Sciences Department (under direction from the Dean of

Mathematics and Natural and Health Sciences) is adhering to the following policy:

"Only students who are officially registered may participate in this class. If you are given

a permission code to add this class, you must officially add the class prior to the next

class meeting. If you have difficulty using the colleges computerized enrollment system

to add, please notify the instructor immediately. The deadline for using a permission code

to add is September 5, 2011. Under no circumstance will students be allowed to add this

class after the add deadline."

Absence for the 1st^ or 2nd^ class results in administrative drop. Excessive absence in the first

4 weeks also results in administrative drop.

Student drop: Do not wait to drop the class after the deadline. Note the last day to drop

without a grade is September 21st. The last day to drop with a “W” grade is Oct 15th. If a

student fails to drop the class (and take care of all the proper paper work), a letter grade (F)

will be assigned and will appear on her or his transcripts.

Cheating: Any work that is to be graded (lab reports, unknowns, graded slides,

exams, etc.) must be done independently. If a student receives or provides help for such

work, it is cheating. You need to complete your lab report before coming to class on the

day the report is due.

Any student cheating will be punished to the maximum extent, including an "F" grade for

this course and a record of cheating on his/her permanent transcript!

Classroom Rules: No talking will be allowed during class. A warning will be given for

the first offence, and if it continues, the student will be asked to leave the classroom.

Cell phones should be off during class. Dress appropriately for class, no open-toe

shoes in the lab (For each time you wear open-toe shoes in the lab, I will take 3 points

from your total points,)

A = 100 – 90 % (est. 1070 – 963 points) B = 89 – 80 % (est. 962 – 856 points) C = 79 – 70 % (est. 855 – 749
