Tests and Grading for B408

 

         Five examinations will be given during the semester; two lecture exams (100 pts. each), two lab. exams (100 pts. each) and one final comprehensive exam (200pts.) for a total of 600 possible points.

 

         Historically the grades for this course have been distributed as follows: A480-600, B 400-480, C  350-400,

D 300-350.  No student with less than 300 total points will pass the course. This distribution will vary from year to year depending upon overall performance of the class and grouping of students into grade categories. Plus and minus grades are possible but seldom given.

 

         Lecture exams will be objective in nature and test the studentŐs knowledge of the lecture material and text chapters indicated in the syllabus. Laboratory exams will be practical and based on microscopic identification of tissues and cells and their anatomical relationships.

 

Absences and Makeup Exams

 

         Students without an excused absence for an exam (written medical justification) will receive 0 points for that exam. Makeup exams must be taken within one week of the absence. Makeup lab. exams will be individualized (i.e instructor asking questions from slides prescribed for the

laboratories).

 

Students suspected of having a learning disability must seek an accommodation from the office of academic enrichment http://www.aec.udel.edu/LD_ADHD_students.html.
