Students who miss a laboratory exercise should come in during open lab time to make up that exercise. Wet lab activities like dissections cannot be made up.  Lab exercises will be due the following week  Lab activities are designed to help prepare you for the practical quizzes, but lab material is also fair game on exams Lab Practicals  Two, each worth 100 points  Cover the material on the “Lab Practical Study Guide” in the syllabus  They will involve identifying slides, models, or diagrams, and answering related questions  Because of the time required to set up these quizzes, they cannot be made up.
