[YOU CAN ONLY MAKE UP 1 PRACTICAL]
1. Grades: You will have 3
practicals as scheduled above and 7 weekly quizzes (weekly quizzes
cannot be made-up, however you can drop your lowest 2 grades). The lab
grade is the average of 4 grades (three practicals and the weekly quiz
average). This average will be given to the lecture instructor
and will be one-fourth (1/4) of your grade for Biology 121.
2. You are financially responsible
for breakage of any materials or equipment in the laboratory. You will
be required to sign a breakage voucher for each offense and make
payment to the Department Storekeeper (Room 229) before the end of the
semester (You will not be allowed to register until all charges are
cleared).
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Class roll will be administered immediately after
class begins. I will report the absences to the lecture instructor when
an excess of absences has been attained (3 times). Note:
