They will cover the material from lectures,the readings, and the discussion sections. Approximately half of the exams will bemultiple choice questions and half will be short answer questions. The final exam iscomprehensive and will also include questions based on the lab exercises.Make-up exams are NOT given. If you are unable to take an examination or have anillness or other emergency, you are responsible for contacting the Life Sciences CoreOffice (LS Building, Room 2305, 825-6614) BEFORE the examination. You arerequired to have written verification regarding the illness or emergency. If you feel that aclerical error was made in grading your exam, submit your exam with a typedexplanation of the issue to your teaching assistant or the Life Science Core Office by theFriday of the week following the exams return. Exams will not be regraded for content.Late regrades will not be accepted.THE LIFE SCIENCE CORE OFFICEFor any administrative problems relating to this course, see Tammy Johnson or MarkGray in the Life Sci Core Office in Life Sci 2305, 825-6614. They will be able to assistyou with copies of lecture handouts, scheduling difficulties, or other LS Core classmatters.Discussion Section and Labs• Discussion sections will alternate with a set of laboratory experiments according to theschedule published by the Life Science Core office. Labs will be held in the second floorlabs of Young Hall South. Lab #1 is the exception. Please see room information posted bythe core office.• The non-lab discussions will meet in your regular section room (listed in the schedule ofclasses) for discussion of the lecture and lab material and the Scientific American articles.• You will turn in a 2-page paper, worth 10 points, on the Scientific American article that isassigned for each meeting. You will receive more specific instructions on each writingassignment. You must turn in these papers in person during the section they are due or youwill lose one point. Also, for each additional day they are late you will lose another point.Your TA will not be allowed to make any exceptions to these rules.• Your written report for Lab 1 on the scientific method must be turned in at your very nextmeeting. Your written assignments for the Photosynthesis and Metabolism labs must beturned in to your TA during your next meeting. The same scoring penalties for lateassignments apply as with the Scientific American articles.Week Date Assignment1 Oct. 4-8 Lab 1: Intro to the Scientific Method2 Oct. 11-15 Lab 2: Histology and Microscopy3 Oct. 18-22 Article 14 Oct. 25-29 Lab 3: The pigments of Photosynthesis5 Nov 1-5 Lab 4: Metabolism6 Nov 8-12 Article 27 Nov 15-19 Lab 5: Rat Dissection8 Nov 22-26 Thankgiving9 Nov 29-Dec 3 Article 310 Dec 6-10 Article 4LECTURE SCHEDULE FOR LS2 6th Edition 7thWeek Lecture topic Reading (chapter)0 1.
