course information
textbook
LIFE: The Science of Biology , 8th Edition, by Sadava, D, Heller, HG, Orians, GH, Purves, WK and Hillis, DM (2008)
grading and exams
This course is graded on a 450-point scale.
- The laboratory will count for 150 points of the course grade.
- There will be three 100-point mid-term examinations. The first two will be given during regular class periods; the third will be given on the same day and immediately before the final examination. Each mid-term, which will last 50 minutes , will cover one-third of the course. In calculating your overall grade for the course, the lowest of your three mid-term grades will be dropped. No make-up exams will be offered for the mid-term examinations; if you miss one, that one will be the one that is automatically dropped.
- The final will be a comprehensive examination that all students must take. It will count for 100 points of the overall course grade and be scheduled immediately after the third mid-term and last 1 hour .
- Questions about examination grading will be considered only during a one week interval after return of the graded exams to the students. Whenever an exam is considered for regrading, all answers in that examination will be regraded.
