BIOLOGY 101 LABORATORY Summer II 2011 Laboratory Director: Barbara Stegenga TAs: S. Demeraski, E. Francisco I. LABORATORY REGULATIONS: A. BIOLOGY 101 LABS BEGIN Monday, June 20th . Labs meet simultaneously in 208 and 209 Coker Hall, First Floor. B. Bring your lab manual to the first laboratory meeting which will last the full period: “Laboratory Exercises for Biology 101” is available in Student Stores. C. Prompt attendance is imperative: Instructions and demonstrations begin on time, so plan to get to lab early. It is expected that you read through the lab activities in the lab manual before coming to lab. If you read the material in advance and answer the questions throughout the lab manual, you will be better prepared to work on the assignments and take the quizzes and tests. D. You must be excused by your lab instructor within 48 hours of any absence. Admission slips for making up the lab are granted for: 1. Your own illness, or illness or death in your family with a written note from you. 2. Official university function with written excuse from the official in charge. E. Generally, make up labs are not offered during the summer due to the fast pace of summer classes. If you know you have to miss a lab, you should immediately contact your TA. Do not assume an email has been received unless you receive a reply. You may only attend another lab to make up the one you missed if your TA has excused you. An unexcused lab deducts 10 points from your final grade and counts as a zero on any missed work. F. For safety reasons absolutely NO FOOD or DRINK is permitted in the laboratory rooms. Please turn off cell phones or quiet them as this is a distraction to your instructor and your fellow lab partners. Some lab exercises use dyes and stains or chemicals that might damage clothing. Pay attention to the lab you are doing each week so that you wear the appropriate clothing. No visitors are allowed in the lab. G. Copyright Information: All materials used in this course including notes and assignments are covered by copyrights and the University’s Copyright Policy, which can be found at http://www.unc.edu/campus/policies/copyright%20policy%2000008319.pdf "STUDENT WORKS THAT CONSTITUTE NOTES OF CLASSROOM AND LABORATORY LECTURES AND EXERCISES SHALL NOT BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES BY THE STUDENT GENERATING SUCH NOTES."

Students do a peer review of the Photosynthesis draft that the TA then collects and grades. Drafts that are revised and graded are handed back to the student for use in writing the lab reports. Lab reports are to be no more than 10 pages of text in length and no less than 5 pages of text. The outlines should be 1-2 pages in length and the draft should be 2-3 pages in length. All written assignments are typed and include the Honor Code Pledge. 6/9/11III. LABORATORY GRADING: The honor code is strictly upheld in this course. Your grade will be determined by tests, daily grades and grades on lab reports. Each of these is to be your own creative work and no collaboration outside of lab in writing these is allowed. Your pledge must be included on all written work turned in to your instructor. All tests are cumulative. Any grading concerns (appeals) must be submitted within a week after the assignment is handed back in lab. Extra credit assignments are not allowed. If you are having trouble with assignments during lab, talk to your instructor first. You may also use tutoring services on campus and the Writing Center for help with your written assignments. All assignments you submit for this class should be written by you alone. Even if a group worked collaboratively or if data were collected with a partner, the written product must be done on an individual basis without referring to the reports of other students. The statement “I pledge that I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this assignment and it is entirely my own creative work” reflects in spirit and in letter the Honor Code that is upheld at this university. It should be included on all written work.
