GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Lecture-Discussions: Lectures and discussions provide an
opportunity for you to tie together the various aspects of the
course. As you complete your assignments it is a good idea
to mark down concepts and ideas that you don't understand and
write down questions that you can bring up in class or during
office hours. Attendance is extremely important. You are
expected to attend class every day it is scheduled. You may
lose points on certain assignments if you do not attend class.
B. Problem Sets and quizzes will not be collected because they are
best used as diagnostic aids for you to find out what you do
know and what you don't. Experience has shown that if you
complete them regularly you will perform well on and exams.
C. Quizzes: The quizzes are a chance for you to show
how well you are doing. You will be able to see how
well you can perform in a testing situation away from your notes
and CD-ROM. A quiz and a key as well as a practice quiz and a key
will be provided to you on the CD-ROM package. These quizzes
are designed to be self-tests to help you prepare for the graded
exams. Quiz grades will not be counted on your overall grade!
D. Labs: You will be required to complete experiments, interactive videolabs,
molecular modeling computer projects, CD-ROM exercises, cooperate on a group
research project, complete an individual internet research projects, go on three
field trips and watch a movie. The interactive videolabs count 3% of the course
grade while the lab projects will count an additional 10%. Experiments will count
5% while CD-ROM lessons will count only 2%. No lab project grades will be dropped!
You are required to do all lab experiments, assignments and projects (no exceptions)!
E. Exams: There will be seven exams this semester worth 70% of the course grade.
They will be given in the classroom during class time. Questions will be based
on lectures, problem sets, CD-ROM interactive material, practice quizzes and quizzes.
F. Grade Dropping: One exam may be dropped on a "CASE BY CASE" basis. This
policy is not designed to raise anyone's overall average exam score!
It is designed for people who encounter unavoidable circumstances sometime
during the semester (funeral, wedding, accident, car trouble, domestic
problem or any other type of unavoidable emergency). You will not "BE ALLOWED
TO MAKE-UP ANY EXAM" so please do not come to me and ask if you can make-up an exam.
That will immediately tell me you did not read this explicit detailed explanation.
The policy is not designed for anyone who "just doesn't feel like they are ready
to take an exam." The policy assumes that a person will not have more than one
extenuating circumstance per semester. If this does happen to you we will address
it together in order to make certain everyone is treated equally and fairly.
We will also sign a document which verifies the nature of the circumstances.
G. Final Exam: Exam VIII will serve as the Final Exam. It will cover Biochemistry.
The Final Exam counts 10% of the course grade and "CANNOT" be dropped. You must
take the Final Exam in order to complete the course and receive credit. If not you
will receive an incomplete for your official grade!!

content material on programable calculators.
L. Withdrawals: Students are responsible for withdrawing from a
course if they wish to no longer continue. WARNING - Your
professor may withdraw you if you have an excessive number of
absences. But don't plan on a professor withdrawal if you want
to drop the course. You are ultimately responsible for your
own withdrawal.
