RESERVE MATERIALS: The textbook is on reserve in the College Library (Powell). READING ASSIGNMENTS: All reading assignments should be completed in a timely manner, preferably before the lecture for which they are assigned. GRADING: Total points in the class will be 500. There are two examinations worth 100 points each, a final comprehensive examination worth 170 points (of which 20 will be from lab), the lab counts an additional 80 points, and the discussion section contributes 50 points. All miterm examinations are held in the evenings at 5:00 PM on the day of the exam! The final examination will be held in the evening at 6:30 PM. The dates for the two midterms are Febuary 2 and Febuary 23. The room(s) where examinations are held will be announced in lecture. Examinations cover material from the reading, the lectures, and the discussion sections. The final examination is comprehensive but emphasizes material from the last third of the course. Requests for regrades must be submitted in writing with a detailed explanation and justification, within one week after the exams have been graded. No makeup examinations will be given! If you are unable to take an examination or final because of illness or other emergency, you are responsible for contacting the Life Science Core Curriculum Office (LSB 2305, 825-6614) before the examination. You are required to have written verification from a physician or parent regarding the illness or emergency.LIFE SCIENCES 2 (section 2) (http://www.lsic.ucla.edu/classes/ page 3 All students who earn 200 points or more in the course will receive a D or better. The distribution of passing grades will be determined at the end of the course, approximately using the following curve: FINAL LETTER GRADES IN THE COURSE ARE BASED ON YOUR TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS (out of 500) AND WILL BE DISTRIBUTED ROUGHLY AS FOLLOWS: 15% A+, A, A- 20% B+, B, B- 40% C+, C, C- 10 – 20% D+, D, D- DISCUSSION SECTION Attendance at the weekly discussion sections is an important component of the course. These sections will concentrate on experimental issues and problem sets. Thirty percent (30%) of the final grade comes from discussion section and lab and includes attendance, written assignments and class participation.
