*Bio 101 Labs*

*Tips

*Attendance and Grading policies*

 Attendance in labs is mandatory

Grading for labs consists of:
(a) 5 pts for the Rationale (the 'what' and 'why')
(b) 5 pts for Methods and Results summary (brief and succinct)
(c) 5 pts for Interpretation of Results (main conclusions, implications)
Grading is based on the 4 parts of an 'Expanded Abstract' (see class handout) and should be one/two pages, single-spaced, and submitted to your personal I:/drive or Box folder as a pdf document

Grading Scales

Office Hours for discussing course-related issues with me:
Always contact me by e-mail or after class to arrange a mutually compatible time for a meeting. In your e-mail briefly state the problem and propose a time for our meeting. Sometimes we can resolve problems or questions by an e-mail exchange only, so contact me anytime with concerns or questions:
