Emails sent from other domains; such as hotmail, gmail, aol or yahoo; are often not delivered or deposited into a junk mail or spam folder. Emails sent to instructors should not be confused with text messages. Thus, they should include a proper salutation and be written in formal English, which includes punctuation.About the manual•Reading it will prepare you not only for class, but for in-class quizzes (usually ½ the quiz is content covered in lab the previous week, and the other ½ is based on content from the lab manual chapter relative to the lab that day)–Reading it prior to 5’ before class will allow you to understand & think about what you’re reading•Lays out Philosophy (vii), Learning Goals (ix), implicit contract (xi)•Contains Periodic Table (0-1) and Molecular Basics (0-3)•Also, rules of molecule pics (0-5) and a cell (0-7)*Things to note (this is where you start taking notes)•My email is [email protected]•All rubrics for written work are online.*Things to note•If you miss two labs (excused or not) you will be encouraged to drop the class•You must clean-up after all labs. Information on how to for each lab is available on the course homepage under “Weekly Clean-Up.” Failure to do such will result in the loss of 50% on your next quiz*Things to note•I give a little quiz every class… Its at the beginning. You will have ten minutes to complete it, from when the bell rings (if you’re 5 minutes late, you will have 5 minutes). If you cannot make it due to a traitorous walk across campus, come see me with your class schedule*Things to note•Most all written work (lab reports and etc.) is done in groups•GROUP work means that all group members contribute EQUALLY to the work •Before you begin work on an assignment, you will tell your TA (either in person or via email) what portion of the work each person will complete – this will serve as a contract between your group and your TA. If your group does not do this, your TA has the option of not accepting your work and giving you a zero for the assignment. •Upon completion of the assignment, your group will work TOGETHER to fill out an evaluation of each group member’s contribution. Your TA will use this when determining your grade.Spellcheck is standard on all Macs, PCs, etc…. Use themThe Deal•I will do my best to get you out of here as soon as possible, every time if you work hard, accomplish all of the goals for the day, and I am confident in your knowledge of the material. You will also get a specified amount of points just for your name on quizzes (varies per quiz).Syllabus•READ IT- don’t be lazy, there’s a lot of important details that are unique to this course•Sign the Plagiarism Agreement and give it to me (Page XIII).21My WebpageGet there via homepage* => Instructors => Sxn#*http://blc.arizona.edu/courses/mcb184/section.cfm?sxn=1Web page operationCopy this down:ALL relevant lab assignments are on the website via: ’Instructors’ Your section….
