GRADING CRITERIA Grading Method: Grades will be calculated using a weighted average with the breakdown as follows: Quizzes 30% Written Exams 45% Lab Participation 12.5% Review Sheets/Activities 12.5% Total 100% Grading Scale: 90 – 100% = A 80 – 89% = B 70 – 79% = C 60 – 69% = D 0 – 59% = F INSTITUTION POLICIES AND INSTRUCTOR PROCEDURES Quizzes: Quizzes are given to inspire you to keep on top of studying and act as a gauge for how well you’re doing in the class. They will cover the material from the previous class’s lectures as listed in the course outline. If you are not doing well on the quizzes and find them difficult, then that is a sign that you need to change your approach to studying for this class. I will drop your two lowest quiz scores, so no make‐up quizzes will be given. Written Exams: Biology is mostly a factual subject with objective exams used as the main evaluation tool. Each exam will be based on both lecture and laboratory material from the text and lab manual. The exams are NOT cumulative and only test on the material from the most recent section of the course. I will drop your lowest written exam and therefore, no make‐up exams will be given. The exam you miss will be the one that gets dropped. All students must take the last written exam of the semester. Labs: Laboratory exercises help reinforce the topics presented in the lectures. Exercises will involve performing experiments, specimen dissection, observing biological phenomenon, recording, and analyzing data, drawing, outside reading, etc. Lab activities containing your results and observations will be turned in five times during the semester. Because labs involve use of chemicals and glassware as well as other potentially hazardous materials, students are required to wear appropriate clothing including closed toe shoes. Also, no eating or drinking in class during laboratory exercises. If a student misses a lab, they will not receive lab participation points for that day. Make‐Up Exams/Quizzes Make‐up exams or quizzes will only be given with the exception of absences that are covered by a formal institutional excuse or verifiable emergency. For example, a serious medical emergency for yourself or an immediate relative, with documentation. In the event of a make‐up, students must contact me as soon as possible to make arrangements. The form of the assessment may be different from that taken by the class during the regular class period. No make‐ups will be given after the assessment has been returned to the class. Attendance and Withdrawals: You are expected to attend every class and attendance will be taken. If you know you are going to miss a class, notify me before you are absent. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to be sure you didn’t miss an assignment and to obtain lecture notes from another student if they choose to give them to you. I may drop a student who misses the equivalent of three class periods. However, under most situations I will not drop students, so, if you stop attending class, it is up to you to withdraw from the class or you will receive the grade that you’ve earned. A student may drop this class without instructor permission before student initiated drop deadline of October 12th. Arriving late or leaving early may be counted as an absence. Cell Phone Policy: Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learning environment. All cell phones must be placed in a non‐audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones must be used outside these facilities. Any student found using a cell phone in any manner during an exam or quiz will receive an automatic zero on that exam or quiz. Academic Integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning environment. The presentation of another individual’s work as one’s own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating, plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the College’s “Student Code of Conduct.” Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the Yavapai College General Catalog. Depending on the severity of the cheating, the student may receive a zero for the assessment, up to expulsion from Yavapai College. Student Code of Conduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are fundamental expectations for every student. The “Student Code of Conduct” outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process for responding to allegations of student misconduct. Disability Resources: Yavapai College is committed to providing educational support services to students with documented disabilities. Accommodations for a student must be arranged by the student through the Disability Resources Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928‐776‐2079 or Verde Valley Campus: 928‐634‐6563). STUDENT RESOURCES (AS APPLICABLE) Library services: Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the Verde Valley Campus libraries. Both libraries are members of a countywide library network, which provides access to a wide‐range of information and resources at libraries throughout Yavapai County Learning Centers & Tutoring: Learning Centers are available on the Prescott and Verde Valley Campuses. These centers provide a variety of learning support for students including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for students with disabilities, and a networked general computer lab. For tutoring information call: Prescott 776‐2085 or Verde Valley 634‐6562. Online writing tutoring for any academic subject is available at www2.yc.edu/content/learningcenters.
