TEXTBOOK:  "BIOLOGY" by Campbell  (6th Edition)

ATTENDANCE:  Students are expected to attend all classes. If a student misses more than two classes, he/she may be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs.

EXAMS:  Every student is expected to take the exams at the scheduled times. Illness, or a death in the family, is the only legitimate excuse for missing an exam. Cases of illness should be verified by a doctor's statement. If some other conflict should arise, be sure to discuss the matter with the instructor before the exam. The exams will usually consist of approx 30-40% essay, and 60-70% objective questions.

OFFICE HOURS:  Tues: 11:15-12:00; 1:00-5:00;  Thur: 11:15-12:00; 1:00-5:00 PM
