due to: Exam Make Up Policy: If a student is aware of a conflict that will prohibit attendance to class on the day of an exam, it is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor as soon as possible to discuss the options for a Make Up exam. If a student misses an exam with an excused absence the option of a Make Up exam is available. On the day of the exam, the student must call or email the course instructor. The student must present a written excuse to the course instructor at the first lecture attended after the absence. At this time the student should also make arrangements for scheduling the makeup exam. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to arrange for a make up exam. Laboratory Attendance: Laboratory attendance is mandatory. Three absences will result in a grade of "F" for the course. In the event of an excused absence, the student should call or email the Teaching Assistant. Upon return to lab, the TA will allow the student to make up missed lab reports. Exam Regrade Policy: Request for re-grading of exams or papers must be submitted in writing to your course instructor within seven days from date when exam/paper was returned. The submission must include your rationale for a re-grade. CORE Applicability : BSCI 223 satisfies the Life Sciences Lab course requirement of the Distributive Studies area of the CORE program. The CORE Program consists of four elements. These elements include: Fundamental Studies, Distributive Studies, Advanced Studies (including the Capstone Course), and a requirement for a course that deals with Human Cultural Diversity. A course taken to satisfy college, major, and/or supporting area requirements may also be used to satisfy CORE Fundamental Studies or Distributive Studies requirements if that course appears on the appropriate list of approved CORE courses. CORE Advanced Studies courses must be selected from areas outside the student's major, with the exception of the Capstone option. Courses taken to satisfy CORE requirements may not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. |
