Not cumulative per seExamsExams may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence. Students with extraordinary circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as soon as the situation occurs.If you know ahead of time that you will miss an exam for a valid reason, we can make arrangements but let me know as far ahead of time as possible.LecturesLecture slides available on course website before lecture (but maybe just before)Do not cover ALL the material on exams (but everything comes from either the notes, or something I say in lectures)“Objectives” available at the beginning of each unit are a guide for what to study, but the lecture notes are your primary resourceObjectivesList of learning goals that need to be achieved for you to do well in this classContains what the college has deemed to be the most important things for you to know to if you go on in a health-related career. Available online on the course websiteAttendanceStudents should attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to reschedule laboratory experiments and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. ESPECIALLY because we meet only eight times this quarter.Lab Practicals There will be two lab practicals, each worth 50 points, given in week 5 (7/31) and week 8 (8/21)Consult the Lab Practical Quiz Study Guide in the syllabus for details on what you are expected to know for each.AssignmentsTBDCase studies, or take-home written assignments50 points (we will do 3-4 of them)LabsMost laboratory exercises in 242 must be completed in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise must come in during open lab time to get credit for that exercise.Lab exercises will be due the following week by the end of class.Labs lag a little behind the lectures in the middle of the courseSchedule of Lectures and Readings
