Grading Policies:

Absences:

·  Unexcused –If you skip the day of a test your letter grade will be lowered by one letter grade.

·  Make up Lab work: Depending on the lab you will be expected to make up the lab – especially the dissection. If you miss more than one day of dissection you will dissect a pig of your own. You will not be working with a partner.

·  Late work: If you hand in an assignment after I have already passed it back you will receive half credit.
