MISSED
HANDOUTS
Missed handouts can be picked up during regularly scheduled office hours. Ask your classmates to collect
them for you if you are going to be absent.
BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SCORES ON EACH ASSIGNMENT,
TEST, LAB ACTIVITY.
EDUCATIONAL ACCESS STUDENTS
All accommodations must be made through the Resouce
Center office. You must make arrangements to take your exams during the same scheduled exam time as the rest of
the class. If you miss this time, you must take the test at the end of the quarter.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
Cheating will lead to your failing that particular assignment
or test and your referral to the Dean of Math and Sciences and the Dean of Students for disciplinary action. You can find the CBC academic honesty policy at:

STUDENT COURTESY
If you need to converse others during class please do it in the
hallway. You may feel free to ask student who are disturbing your education process
to either be quiet or to leave the room.
Cell phones, pagers and other communication devices must either
set on vibrate or turned off during class.
If you have placed your phone or pager on vibrate and need to
return a call, please leave the class room before answering or making your call.
If you must arrive to class late, come in quietly and take your
place.
If you have questions that do not pertain to biology, please
ask them after class or during office hours.
I do not give extra credit for pointing out errors, so please
do not disrupt class asking for points. Unless the errors affect the accuracy
of the lecture, please let me know after class or during office hours.
Children are not allowed to be in classrooms or in the hallways. This is especially important this year with all the construction going on.
