Classification and Evolution
(Lab grade based on work in lab)

        In general, a lab test will be given at the beginning of each lab on the preceding lab.  Each lab test will count 10 points and will consist of questions in different formats, depending on the material.  Nine lab tests will be given and the lowest score will be dropped - giving 80 lab points for those tests.  (See the special notes below about testing on some individual labs.)   The supplemental reading assignment is due during the next-to-last lab period and is worth 20 lab points.  Your final lab grade will be a percentage score based on the total of 100 lab points, i.e., your lab grade will be (lab points earned)/100.  (Note that the supplemental reading assignment counts 20/100 = 20.00% of your lab grade.)  The lab grade counts 25% of your final course grade.   You may take an essay makeup test for any lab test you miss during the course (with one exception noted below) at the end of your next-to-last lab of the course, i.e., when the class has finished with the supplemental reading oral presentations.  A person arriving late for lab has missed the lab test if the first lab test paper has been handed in already.

Special notes about testing on some individual labs:

 - One lab test will be given on the labs Population Biology I and II combined on Monday June 13.
 - No lab test will be given on Friday June 10 to allow more time for the stream lab; the test for Population Biology I and II will be given on Monday June 13, along with the test on the stream lab, i.e., there will be TWO lab tests on June 13th.
 - Your lab grade for the Classification and Evolution lab will be based on your work in the lab, will count as one lab test, and no makeup for this lab is available.

Note: The lab schedule is subject to change based on the weather, however plan to attend lab whatever the weather.
