Exam 4 - 12:20-2:10 pm in 010 Sparks |
Chapters
21, 22, 23 |
Required textbook: Alberts, et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, fourth edition. You should complete the reading assignment before classso that you are familiar with the lecture material. This should aid you in following each lecture.
Lecture notes: Overhead notes that are used in lectures and any figures not in the Alberts text will be posted before class. You are strongly encouraged to bring these lecture notes to class. Links to the notes that have been posted are made by clicking on the lecture number in the schedule posted above.
Exams: Each exam will consist of 33 multiple choice questions worth 3 points each. You will be asked to present your student I.D. when you submit your exams. Scores will be reported by email to your student account directly from University Testing Services.
Grades: The following table gives approximate assignments for
final grades. This scale is based on an overall class mean of 75% orhigher. If
the class mean is lower, the scale will be adjusted downward. It will not be adjusted upward. So for example, if you earn a
90% or higher you are guaranteed an A or A-.
|
GRADE: |
PERCENTAGE: |
|
A and A- |
90%-100% |
|
B+, B and B- |
75%-90% |
|
C+ and C |
60%-75% |
|
D |
50%-60% |
|
F |
lower than 50% |
Missed exams: Make up exams are either all essay questions or a mixture of essay and short answer questions (instructor's discretion) and mustbe taken prior to the next exam, or you will receive a zero. Whenever possible,notify the instructor prior to the exam. Exams should only be missed for a family emergency, accident, or serious illness.
No extra credit work will be accepted. No exams will be dropped.
Academic integrity: The students and instructors are bound bythe rules and procedures on academic integrity set by the Eberly College of Science Academic Integrity Committee. A complete listing of these policies canbe foundat the following web site: http://www.science.psu.edu/academic/Integrity/index.html.
It is the student's responsibility to know and abide by these policies. Failure to do so may result in sanctions or expulsion.
