LABORATORY
GRADE: Your lab grade will count 20% of your Bios 171 course grade. The lab grade will be determined by the total
number of points earned out of 100 possible points:
Grade Distribution
Quizzes 60
points
(Each quiz will cover learning objectives since the previous quiz AND
the pre-lab learning objectives for that day.)
Drawings (‘road
maps’ of arteries and veins handouts) 10 points
Lab Final Exam 30
points
Total Possible 100 points
IMPORTANT: You are expected to attend every lab to receive
credit for this course. If you must be
absent, see or phone your lab instructor or leave a message with the department
secretary (593-2290) as soon as possible.
There will be NO make-up quizzes or exams without a verifiable
and University approved excuse. Late
papers (IF ACCEPTED) and make-up quizzes (IF ALLOWED) are subject to a 10%
penalty per day
NOTE: A neat and clean lab is essential for the
work we will be doing this quarter. Each
student is responsible for maintaining the lab in good order. Failure to cooperate will result in lowering
of your lab grade (a warning will be given for the first offense and a five
point deduction for each subsequent offense).
Thank you for your cooperation.
ANOTHER
NOTE: It is expected that you will use your
scheduled lab time well by taking advantage of the resources available to you
in lab (instructors, fellow students, computer, etc.). If you finish early go back over each
objective to be sure you have not missed anything. POP QUIZZES that will be incorporated into
the lab grade (by increasing the total possible points) may be given near the
end of the lab period at the discretion of the lab instructor.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
LABORATORY WORK:
1. Turn off your
cell phone before entering class.
2. Learn your lab instructor's
name, office location and scheduled office hours.
3. Before coming to lab, study
each exercise and all related handouts so that you will know the purpose
of the work, the materials needed and the methods you will
use. Ask questions--the instructor and
the assistant are there to help!
4. MAKE GOOD USE OF LAB
TIME. Labs are designed to help you
correlate portions of the lecture and text material with first-hand
experience. Take notes as
your instructor gives you information about what you will see and do. You will also be instructed about how to use
and where to find the materials you will need.
Proceed by following the directions in the lab manual or hand out
carefully and completely.
5. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
CLEANING YOUR WORK SPACE:
* Permanent slides are to be returned to the
proper boxes.
* Plain slides, dissecting tools and lunch
trays must be washed, dried
completely and returned to the proper place.
* Put all solid waste material in the trash
container.
* Wipe the tabletop and any other surface as
needed with the spray table cleaner provided.
* Do not leave anything in the sink.
* Your instructor will point out the special
container for the disposal of
SHARP OR BREAKABLE ITEMS.
Throwing
such items as scalpel blades, light bulbs, glass, pins, etc. in the trash cans
puts our maintenance people
at
risk. Please take special care to
dispose of such items in the SPECIAL CANS.
* OSHA regulations and department guidelines
dictate all preserved specimens must stay in the lab. Pigs may not be taken out of the lab room for
any reason. Thank you for your
cooperation.
5 Please be careful with all equipment, but
especially the (expensive!) microscopes.
You will be instructed in
their use and care
and they will serve you well. If you
experience any problems with the scope, notify your instructor
at once so that it
can be repaired.
6. Finally, enjoy your lab experience. Make the most out of this opportunity to
learn. Life is good!
