REQUIRED BOOK:
Principles of Biology Laboratory Manual for BIO 101. Biology Department, Suffolk
County Community College. Fall 2011 ed. Hayden McNeil Publishing.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance in laboratory is mandatory. Students are required to attend every lab.
Students who miss more than one (1) lab session may be dropped from the course. The
absence may be made-up by attending a different section where the same exercise is
being done if there is room in that section (see posted lab schedule and speak with the
instructor). If you use this option, you should get a written confirmation from the
instructor that you made-up the exercise.
A student may be removed from the class roster by an instructor at any time
when, in the judgment of the instructor, absences have been excessive or when a student
is disruptive or disrespectful. LEAVING LABORATORY CLASSES EARLY IS NOT
PERMITTED. Do not make any other commitments or appointments during the
laboratory class period.
Other Policies: “Just say “no!”
(1) Cell Phones and Texting
(2) Excessive food/drinking in lab
(3) Inappropriate attire
(4) Inappropriate language/attitude
(5) Lateness
(6) Cheating**
(7) Plagiarism**
** Refer to “Academic Dishonesty” section(s) of SCCC Student Handbook. I will
follow all available and necessary school procedures. Students who cheat or
plagiarize will receive a zero for the assignment and possibly an F for the course.
If any of the above are done by students, they will be asked to leave the class for that
class period. If the disruptive behavior continues, they may be removed from the
course and the necessary disciplinary action will be pursued through the college. See
the student code of conduct in the student handbook:
