SCB 203 and SCB 204
| The final grade for Human Biology is calculated from both lecture and laboratory examination grades. 60% of the final grade is determined from the lecture examinations and 40% from the laboratory examinations. |
|---|
Lecture Exams
6 lecture quizzes for a total of 30% of the final grade.
(Instructor may drop the lowest grade)
1 midterm worth 15% of the final grade.
1 final worth 15% of the final grade.
|
Each lecture quiz will
consist of 20-25 short answer questions. The midterm and final examinations
will be 50 questions long and consist of short answers, fill-ins and definitions
(covering previously tested material and current material). There will
be no scheduled make-up examinations.
|
|---|
Laboratory Exams
There will be 4 exams each worth 10% for a total of 40% of your final grade.
Two will be practiceal exams and two will be written exams
|
Practical examinations will be
based on the identification of actual laboratory materials displayed at
stations. Written examinations will include short answers, fill-ins and
short essays. Attendance is compulsory for all labs. It will be the student's
responsibility to make-up missed labs. No scheduled make-up exams are
given in laboratory. |

| Attention and punctuality are neccessary for success; absence or lateness exceeding 10% is considered excessive. Classes will meet in accordance to the Academic Calendar (be sure to get a copy from the Information Desk in the Main Building) unless otherwise specified. Severe weather does not cancel classes; listen to your radio/TV for College closings. Student rights and responsibilities can be found in the College Handbook and Catalog, please refer to them. The Grading Policy for these course can be found on page
3 of your course outline. Repeat, "R", grades are not given
in this course and Incompletes, "IN", are issued only under
very restricted circumstances. In order to receive an Incomplete, a
student must have PASSING GRADES and be able to document why he/she
is unable to complete the course work during the semester. Both the
student and the instructor must complete and sign an Incomplete Form
and list the exams that must be satisfactorily completed before a grade is issued. Students have 6 months to take the missing exam; otherwise the incomplete is automatically
converted to an F. An Incomplete does not provide a student with an
opportunity to retake an exam(s); all prior grades are retained and
added into the calculation of the final grade. |
