BSCI 125– Plant biology for non-science majors

LECTURE PREPARATION AND ATTENDANCE:

1. Attend every lecture meeting. Attendance is strongly correlated with your grade! Many announcements will be made only in lecture and all students will be held responsible for these announcements. Quizzes and other extra credit assignments will also be given during lecture only. Additionally, a significant amount of material is covered only during the lecture. Exams will be testing material covered in lecture.
2. Arrive to class on time and do not leave class early.
3. Complete assigned readings prior to their discussion in lecture. The material presented in the course can be difficult, but it’ll be easier to understand if you read the book first.
4. Religious observances and accommodations for students with disabilities: students should bring documentation outlining their needs to Prof. Moctezuma as soon as possible, but no later than February 6, 2004.

ACADEMIC HONESTY AND CLASSROOM CONDUCT:

1. By enrolling in this course you agree to abide by the University’s Code of Academic Integrity. The Code prohibits students from cheating on exams, plagiarizing papers, submitting fraudulent documents, and forging signatures. See Chapter 4 of the Undergraduate Catalog for additional details.
2. PLEASE TURN OFF ANY CELL PHONES, PAGERS, BEEPERS, ETC. DURING CLASS! They are disruptive and annoying to the class.
3. Eating and drinking are not permitted during lecture.
4. Reading the newspaper or other materials not related to the course is not permitted during the lecture.
5. Please refrain from talking during lecture. Even quiet conversations become disruptive when multiplied by the large number of students in class. Students who disrupt the ability of others to concentrate will be asked to leave the lecture room.

THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THESE POLICIES. PLEASE DO NOT ASK.
