multiple choice questions worth 2 points for 90 points total If a test is missed with acceptable excuse the other two tests will be averaged to make up the missing grade If you miss a test you must HANDWRITE an excuse explaining what circumstance beyond your control caused you to be absent You must give that note to me in class There is no option to drop a test grade and there are no extra credit options Tests will not be cumulative Potential grading mistakes must be discussed before the next test Compare your grade from ConnectCarolina with the score you get by comparing your answers with the Test answers posted on Sakai We have never found a mistake on the machine scored tests but you have the right to be sure you re not the first The final exam 8 am groan Thursday May 3 in this room will also be worth 90 points and will be cumulative The tests and final will each count equally and will together make up 90 of your grade There will also be homework from Mastering Biology see the Sakai site for how to sign into the site The homework will make up 10 of your grade For each of the first two tests and after the third test I will give you an estimated letter grade scale I do not have a pre determined scale such as 93 100 is an A although the scale is usually similar to a 10 Percentage point scale In Biology the grade of C is average In other words the average student will get a C More students will get a C than will get any other grade It is not a bad thing to get a C in Biology 101 It should not dissuade you from being a biology major or continuing in science It means you did as well as the average Carolina student Homework You are fortunate to have a great study tool in the Web based program Mastering Biology The program is keyed to your book and you will benefit greatly from your use of it Almost every class period will have a homework associated with it Most are due before class some after so pay attention to the due dates The homework has a time and day that it is due with no credit for late work so since your time and the program s time may not by synced exactly plan to get it finished and submitted well before the time it is due I recommend that you not begin any homework later than 10pm on the evening it is due Although there may be a published estimate of the time an assignment takes student times vary considerably Aim to have it done 12 hours in advance This homework is generally not hard and is meant as much to offer additional learning as to test you Be sure you do all assignments The first assignment is also designed to test out your system and how it works with the Mastering Program If you have difficulties try a different browser or a different computer If all else fails contact tech support for the program If you email be before 11 pm on an evening that homeworks are due to tell me you are having technology problems I will extend your deadline Everything about the homework program and the Mastering Biology website is
