  6. Attendance Come to class - in general students who attend class do better on exams Come to labs – Some of the labs cannot be made up and there is only one other section of Biol 223

  7. Cheating, Academic dishonesty etc. DON’T DO IT IF YOU GET CAUGHT, YOU GET A ZERO ON THE ASSIGNMENT

  8. professional behavior Treat your classmates with respect This is worth 20 points

  9. Special support services (e.g., notes takers, testing accommodations) can be provided to qualified students. Any student who requires special consideration due to a limiting disability should contact the Disabilities Support Services Office at (360) 383-3045.

  10. LIKE BIOL 221 AND 222, THIS COURSE IS CHALLENGING AND WILL REQUIRE A LOT OF TIME

  11. EXAMS THREE “REGULAR” EXAMS WORTH 200 POINTS 24 MULTIPLE CHOICE 13 MATCHING 13 TRUE/FALSE 70 POINTS OF SHORT ANSWER THE FINAL IS ALSO WORTH 200 POINTS, BUT IT IS PARTLY COMPREHENSIVE (@25%)

  12. THE LOWEST OF THE THREE “REGULAR” EXAMS WILL BE DROPPED STUDY GUIDES WILL BE PROVIDED

  13. LABORATORIES There are rules that are special to the lab, if you are not familiar with them, please see me. Several lab periods will be dedicated to your student experiment

  14. NO Vs

  15.

Each) 160 • Professional points 20 • Participation points 20 • Total possible points 1,000 • Bonus points will be added to or penalty points will be subtracted from your total. • Thus:
