There will be 3 examinations (each worth 100 points) and a comprehensive final exam
(also 100 points). In addition, there will be unannounced quizzes
(each worth 10-15 points) that will be administered during the regular lecture period.  The quizzes will be administered at Dr Blake's discretion, and will not be announced at the beginning of a particular class period.

Your final grade for Cell Biology is based upon 500 points: 3 exams at 100 points each, 1 final exam (100 points) and 4 quizzes (25 points each). 

An unexcused absence from an exam or quiz results in a "0".  Excused absences require written documentation, and the make-up exam will occurs on the day of the final exam.  The missed exam can be administered in either essay format or viva voce at Dr Blake's discretion. There are no make-up quizzes 

Cheating in this course is not tolerated and will result in a failing grade. Consult the SHU Academic Integrity Policy in the catalogue and your course syllabus for additional information.
