MATERIALS: Binder or any notebook for notes, Internet access, Check your Email and Phone Message regularly for updates and reminders that I need to communicate to you when we are not in class. (Every Friday, Sunday, Tuesday Night) ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend all lectures AND BE ON TIME! If you are perpetually late to this class it may result in the loss of points. If you have a problem with your schedule that interferes with your being on time to this class, you need to see me. Excuses should be prior to class in order to be accepted. (You can contact me by either text massage or email) If you attend fewer than 60% of the course lectures, you will NOT be able to take the final exam.

tolerance for rude behavior, and if you display it in my classroom, you will be asked to leave. LATE ASSIGNMENTS: Any homework turned in late will receive a 2-points penalty for every day late. You can turn in late homework in class. You must be present in class to do in-class activities and essay questions. There is no opportunity to turn these in late. EXAMS: There are three lecture exams. If you are not able to attend an exam due to an emergency or illness, you must contact me PRIOR TO THE EXAM. If you do not contact me before the exam, you will not be able to make it up. Any missed exams will result in a loss of that exam score from your total score. CELL BIOLOGY CLASSROOM You are responsible for all of the class lecture material (I will cover in this class other than your textbook). Additional materials will be providing by posting in the class document. I will provide Cell Biology Lecture Study Guide before some exams. This study guide will help you prepare for the lecture quizzes, midterm and final. Power Point Lectures: The PowerPoint lectures will be available through class document. You are expected to print out the appropriate lecture and bring it to class with you. You are encouraged to review the lecture material prior to lecture. If you miss a lecture, you are responsible for getting extra class notes information from your classmate.
Grades: I will create a Google document for this class. I will regularly post an Excel spreadsheet of your grades that can be in the class document. I will announce when grades are posted. You will give me a secret code name during the first class, to protect your identity. Keep an eye on this spreadsheet, if a grade is missing or entered incorrectly, see me about it during the next class meeting. Do not wait until the end of the semester to notify me of any needed changes to your grade. I will not make any changes to the grade spreadsheet after the Final Exam. Power Point Lectures: The PowerPoint lectures will be available through class document. You are expected to print out the appropriate lecture and Reading Assignments:
