'''POLICY ON LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP EXAMS:'''<br>
Make-up exams and quizzes will only be given in the case of a serious personal illness or family emergency that '''has been documented by your class dean'''. Similarly, excused extensions for lab reports or homework will not be granted except in the cases described. In such situations, if at all possible, the instructor should be notified '''prior''' to the class period in which the exam or quiz is to be administered or when the assignment is due. '''Unexcused late work will be penalized 5% per day and will not receive credit more than one week after the due date'''. Students who have a legitimate conflict with a scheduled exam are requested to speak with the instructor as soon as possible about taking the exam '''early''', but no more than 48 hours in advanced of the scheduled exam.
<br><br>
 
'''STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: ''' <br>
Students entitled to disability-related accommodations are requested to speak with the instructor about their needs well in advance of scheduled quizzes, exams, and assignment due dates.<br><br>

Working in groups with your classmates is encouraged as a valuable way to enhance your understanding of the course material; however, the actual writing of all assignments, including homework and lab reports, must be completed individually.<br><br>
 
'''POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE SYLLABUS: ''' <br>

EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
By the end of this course, you should be familiar with many of the essential physiological processes of the cell and have a strong understanding of how proteins collaborate to carry out those processes. You will also have acquired a “methods tool-kit” and an understanding of how to apply various experimental techniques to answer cell biological questions. Finally, you should have gained confidence in reading and interpreting primary-source scientific articles enhanced your scientific writing abilities.

GRADING:

Assessment Points
Hour Exams 200 points
Final Exam 140 points
Homework/Quizzes 60 points
Laboratory 200 points
Total 600 points


POLICY ON LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP EXAMS:
Make-up exams and quizzes will only be given in the case of a serious personal illness or family emergency that has been documented by your class dean. Similarly, excused extensions for lab reports or homework will not be granted except in the cases described. In such situations, if at all possible, the instructor should be notified prior to the class period in which the exam or quiz is to be administered or when the assignment is due. Unexcused late work will be penalized 5% per day and will not receive credit more than one week after the due date. Students who have a legitimate conflict with a scheduled exam are requested to speak with the instructor as soon as possible about taking the exam early, but no more than 48 hours in advanced of the scheduled exam.

STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:
Students entitled to disability-related accommodations are requested to speak with the instructor about their needs well in advance of scheduled quizzes, exams, and assignment due dates.

POLICY ON COLLABORATION:
Working in groups with your classmates is encouraged as a valuable way to enhance your understanding of the course material; however, the actual writing of all assignments, including homework and lab reports, must be completed individually.

POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE SYLLABUS:
The instructor reserves the right to modify the syllabus during the semester as she deems necessary to meet the course goals in a reasonable manner.


Please let your instructors know if you are having trouble during the semester. The sooner you bring a problem to our attention, the sooner we can help you address it.
