Office hours are offered every day from 2:30 to 3:30pm in Bonner Hall 3230. The above times are priority days for this class; the other two days are priority days for the other biochemistry class NOTE: the final exam is held on Saturday, August 2. You need to be able to attend on Saturday. Last day of class is not a Thursday or Friday!

It is the responsibility of TAs grading a particular problem to make corrections or adjustments. You can submit a written request for more than one problem. Those requests will be regraded during a regrading session after the one-week period allotted to submit a request. Make up exams Midterms are held during class time. Makeup exams are available for emergency reasons and conflicts with other assignments for which students have no control over the timing. For conflicts regarding the final exam and having more than two (=3) final exams within a 24-hour period, you need to contact your college administration to request make up exams. You should do this during the first week of class and as soon as you are aware of such clustering. There are no makeup finals if you (or some relatives) make travel arrangements before the end of the scheduled final exam. Cheating To avoid cheating problems, please write in pen and not pencil. If you make changes, mark them clearly (cross out) and do not erase and write over other words. A small number of exams will be photo copied (after grading and before students receive them) and compared with the submitted regrade request. Photocopies are done randomly and are not a systematic approach nor are they targeting any students in particular. Cheating will be reported to the Dean of your
