Grading:
Three
exams will be given to test your knowledge of General Bacteriology; 50
points per exam. Also, an assignment worth 20 points will be due
on July 20. Bring a Scantron form (#882-ES) and a #2 pencil to each
exam. Your final grade in this course will be determined by combining your
lecture and laboratory course grades - each portion is worth 50%.
You must pass both lecture and lab in order to pass the class.
Missed
exams:
Make-up
exams will not be given, unless you speak with me PRIOR to the
exam time and date. Examples of acceptable excuses are, "a
serious illness" or "participation in an out-of-town Cal Poly sports event";
examples of unacceptable excuses are, ìI had to workî, ìI was out
too late last nightî. Exams must be taken within two days of the
missed exam, unless extenuating circumstances exist, or a zero will be
recorded for that exam.
