LAB SAFETY:
Some of the laboratory investigations included in this course may be hazardous if materials are handled improperly or if procedures are conducted incorrectly. Laboratory procedures generally require caution. Safety procedures are necessary when, but not limited to, working with chemicals, including preservatives, glass test tubes, hot water baths, sharp instruments, and so on. Your instructor will discuss general and specific safety regulations in the first week's orientation. Should you have any problems with materials or procedures, it is your responsibility to ask your instructor for help.
OBJECTIVES:
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
GRADE CALCULATION:
50% lecture average (three lecture exams and other lecture/recitation assignments)
25% laboratory average (quizzes, participation, etc.)
25% final exam average (two hours, comprehensive)
There are no planned make-up exams, quizzes, or field/laboratory sessions. If multiple absences are due to provable illness or other recurring situation, special arrangements may be made at the instructor's discretion. In addition, late assignments may be refused or graded lower at the instructor's discretion.
