Labs 1 – 6 have Virtual Lab components.  These can be done for extra credit – 3 points each.  Total points available from the Lab - 218.  Students are encouraged to do the Virtual Labs to better understand the subjects covered.  The answers to the questions are on these Virtual Labs are due with the corresponding lab reports to be counted.  

 

Specific Course Requirements:

 

Students are expected to be courteous of one another in the labs.  Safety in the lab is of primary concern.   No horseplay is allowed.  Partners, group and class projects will be done.  Cooperation is a must.  Your lab space must be clean at the end of the lab and the equipment you used must be washed.

 

Lab reports are due at the beginning of the next Lab.  Lab reports must be complete and handed in on time.  Reports handed in late will only be credited a maximum of 6 points.  If you miss your scheduled lab, it is your responsibility to make up the lab.

 

The Biology Department encourages students to use the lab anytime it is open.

 

Lab exams are not to be made up.

 

I encourage students to work together during the lab.  However, the lab reports must be your own work.  Photo-copied, duplicate reprints, word-for word answers will not graded.
