5. Assignments: 
       a. Reading and Study Assignments:     Your ongoing assignment and homework for the entire 
              semester  is to read and study the chapters listed above prior to class discussion. You then 
              should read, study, comprehend, and learn the information in your class notes.  It is very 
              important for you to take comprehensive notes during lecture and to learn the 
              information in these notes before you return to class. 
            Notice the prerequisites for this class is Biology 2401 or approval of the Division 
             Chairman. It is, therefore, assumed that you are familiar with the microscope, 
             cytology, and histology.

       b. Lab Assignment:  Laboratory work, including slides, dissections, and exercises in the lab 
             manual will be assigned during class and much of the work will be done during lab time. 
             However, any lab work that you do not complete during the lab period or any review time 
             which you may require will be done on your own time. Laboratory experiments will 
             generally be done in groups of 2 or more students. These "wet" labs will involve assembling 
             equipment, making careful observations, recording data, and drawing conclusions about the    
             results. It is very important to be present when experiments are performed. To make up 
             these "wet" labs    is often not possible.

         c. Optional Assignment:    
             You may earn up to 5 extra points on the 1st major exam and the 1st lab practical by 
             selecting a topic which was covered on that particular test.  Locate an appropriate 
             article dealing with that topic and summarize the article in your own words. Remember to 
             include a work cited.  The article must come from a recent scientific journal which 
             was published within the past 2 years.  The summary and a copy of the original article must 
             be submitted to the instructor no more than 2 weeks following my return of the graded 
             exam to you. You may earn from 0 to 5 points based upon the substance of the article, your written summary, 
             and your oral discussion of  the article with me. You must receive my approval on any particular 
             article because each student is expected to locate a different article. 
             THIS IS AN OPTIONAL ASSIGNMENT.

6. Grade Calculation: 
        Lecture: 
           a. Two major exams.  Each will cover several chapters and will usually be a combination of objective and subjective questions. 
           b. An additional lecture grade is from a series of minor exams.  You will be given at least
               5 minor exams.  Some of these minors will be 25-point “written” minor exams.  Others will    
               be 5-point CPS quizzes which will be accumulated for a possible 25 points. If you take all of the
               minors, you may drop the lowest 25-point minor exam grade. Your remaining minors will
               be averaged for another major grade in lecture. 
           c. You will take several online quizzes through eCampus.

         Lab:
            a. Two lab practicals. These will cover lab experiments, slides, and dissection exercises.

                                          FINAL GRADE CALCULATION: 
                                                  Lecture Average = 50% (15% for each major, 15% for minors, 
                                                                                             5% for online quizzes) 
                                                   Lab Average     =  35% 
                                                    Final Exam      =  15%

7. Classroom Policies: 
     a.  Civility Statement - Members of the Blinn College community, which includes faculty, staff, 
           and students, are expected to act honestly and responsibly in all aspects of campus life.Blinn 
           College holds all members accountable for their actions and words. Therefore, all members should 
           commit themselves to behave in a manner that recognizes personal respect and demonstrates 
           concern for the personal dignity, rights, and freedoms of every member of the College community, 
           including respect for College property and the physical and intellectual property of others. 
           If a student is asked to leave the classroom because of uncivil behavior, the student
           may not return to that class until he or she arranges a conference with the instructor;
           it is the student's responsibility to arrange for this conference.

       b. Attendance Policy -The College District believes that class attendance is essential for student
            success; therefore, students are required to promptly and regularly attend all their classes. 
            Each class meeting builds the foundation for subsequent class meetings. Without full
            participation and regular class attendance, students shall find themselves at a severe disadvantage
            for achieving success in college. Class participation shall constitute at least ten percent of the
            final course grade. It is the responsibility of each faculty member, in consultation with the division
            chair, to determine how participation is achieved in his or her class. Faculty will require students
            to regularly attend class and will keep a record of attendance from the first day of class and/or 
            the first day the student’s name appears on the roster through final examinations. If a student
            has one week’s worth of unexcused absences during the semester, he/she will be sent an e-mail
            by the College requiring the student to contact his/her instructor and schedule a conference 
            immediately to discuss his/her attendance issues. Should the student accumulates two weeks 
            worth of unexcused absences, he/she will be administratively withdrawn from class. 


            TR Class – 2 classes missed = 1 week of absences = 1st email notification
                             4 classes missed = 2 weeks of absences = 2nd email notification and 
                                                                                            Administrative Drop

            Class attendance using the RF Keypads, minors, majors, practicals, and quizzes are used 
            to calculate your grade. When absent, it is your responsibility to get the lecture notes and 
            assignments and perform any lab work that you missed. 

           It is the student’s responsibility to officially drop a class he/she is no longer 
           attending. To officially drop a class the student must obtain the class withdrawal form 
           from the Admissions Office, complete the withdrawal form, secure the required signatures, 
           and return the completed form to the  Admissions Office. Students are not assessed 
           absences when representing Blinn College. Class days missed due to inclement weather 
           will be made up as appropriate. A student on scholastic or disciplinary probation should not 
           have any unexcused absences.

        c. Tardy Policy- Class begins when the instructor closes the door to the lab. You are expected    
            to be in your seats at that time.  
         d. Make-Up Policy- 
             Major Exams and Lab Practicals-Only in the case of extremely extenuating circumstances 
             which can be validated  to the instructor's satisfaction or due to a Blinn-sponsored activity
             will a make-up exam be given.  This will generally be a comprehensive exam given the week
              prior to final exams. 
              Minor Exams-There are no make-ups on minor exams. 
         e. Academic Dishonesty Policy - The consequences for academic dishonesty will be followed 
             according to college policy as stated in the Blinn College Student Handbook and the Bulletin.    
       f.  Disability Resources Services:  Blinn College is dedicated to providing the least  restrictive
             learning environment for all students. Therefore, support services for students  with disabilities 
             are provided on an individual basis, upon request.  Students with documented disabilities may
