BIOL 2010 LABORATORY

The laboratory part of this course will supplement the lectures and provide hands‑on experience in scientific investigation. Some laboratory exercises will be supplemented with audio visuals, dissecting, and in field experience where applicable.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: All policies and procedures not described below are contained in the lecture section and will apply to the laboratory.

It is a good idea to bring your textbook and your lab manual to lab. There will be no makeup labs. If necessary, and only with the permission of both instructors, you may attend another lab section if they are doing the exercise you missed. There will be no makeup examinations in lab. NO smoking, eating, drinking, or children allowed in lab.

GRADING: The laboratory grade, as determined by the laboratory instructor, will count 30% of the course grade. It will be derived from three practical examinations given during the semester. Your instructor may choose to give periodic lab quizzes and will explain how the laboratory grade will be affected.

For an example of how the final grade is to be calculated, please see the grading policy in the Lecture Syllabus.

Although some course outcomes will be covered exclusively in the laboratory, success in the lecture component of the course will be demonstrated by your ability to draw upon laboratory experiences and vice versa.
