examine the rocks and minerals that are assigned in this course and to do all additional laboratory assignments You may do this during the lab periods and or outside of normal university hours The room is left unlocked during normal business hours Everything you are assigned in the labs is testable on the lab exams Missed exams The reason for producing a syllabus is to give students advanced notice of exams and assignment due dates Translation there is no excuse for missing an exam However sometimes it happens If you have a legitimate excuse for missing an exam i e medical problem you will be permitted to do a make up during the last week of classes provided that you show me a signed certificate from a medical doctor stating that it was impossible for you to make the exam Attendance It seems that a good number of people who take courses feel they do not have to attend the lectures Nothing could be further from the truth Much of the material we will discuss will not be covered in the text book and if you miss the lab lectures you will miss this material Attendance is mandatory and assessable in GY 111L it s worth 12 of your grade I will dock you if you have 2 or more unexcused absences approximately 15 of the labs If you have 4 or more unexcused absences approximately 30 of the labs you will receive 0 for attendance If you miss more than 6 lectures labs I reserve the right to drop your final grade an additional 10 If you also fail to complete less than of the exams I will be forced to assign you an F grade Note I will base your attendance on the class role I record at the start of the class If you missed the role because you were late it is up to you to notify me before the end of the class Excessive tardiness will be considered equivalent to missing classes By the way if your name is not on that roll you will be marked absent There will be no exceptions to this attendance F policy Students with Disabilities In accordance with the
