About the Course: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS: Regrades for midterm II will be available after class on 4/4. The last day to pick up any old exams or regrades will be Monday May 7th at the end of lecture. This is also the last day of class. Please do not wait until the last minute to retrieve your old materials as your GSIs may no longer be available to you. Students in Katherine Harris' section can pick up materials from Pantea Houshmand. EXAM REVIEW SESSION: Professor Zusman will be having a Q+A review session on Thursday May 10th from 2-4pm in 155 Dwinelle. Textbook: Nelson and Cox Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry (4th Edition) Course Policies: • There will be an exam for each of the three, five-week sections of this class. The last exam will be given during the scheduled final-exam time-period. The three exams will count equally to make up 90% of your grade, and the discussion-section quizzes and class participation will contribute the remaining 10% of the grade.
• Students are required to take all of the exams. Please make sure that you will be available for the three dates listed above. If you have a valid reason for missing a midterm exam, it is your responsibility to inform the instructor as soon as possible, in writing, no later than two days after the exam. Examples of acceptable excuses are incapacitating illness or death in the immediate family, with a doctor's note; or a serious traffic accident, with a police report. A standardized exam such as the MCAT or GRE is an acceptable excuse only when the standardized exam occurs at the same time as the MCB 102 exam. If you are excused, you will take a make-up exam as soon as you are able. All make-up midterms will be oral exams, and a score of 0 (zero) will be assigned if your score is lower than C-minus equivalent. Please note that an incomplete grade can only be issued for students who have missed just the Final exam and who are doing satisfactory work (C- or better) previous to that. • Cheating of any sort is an extremely serious offense. In addition to resulting in an F for the course, cheating may result in further punishment including suspension from the University at the recommendation of the Student Conduct Officer. • Setting off a false fire alarm is a felony. Exam will continue after evacuation required by fire alarm (and thus the students should not talk to each other or refer to notes and textbooks during this period). Exams will not be rescheduled. • Requests to correct clerical or procedural errors in grading midterm exams must be submitted in writing to your GSI, along with your exam, no later than one week after the exams have been returned to the class. The instructors and GSIs will not discuss such issues until you have explained your case in writing. Midterm exams written in pencil or erasable ink will not be eligible for any type of re-grading. Answers that are illegible or in any other way ambiguous will be given zero points when grading. • In accord with University Policy, no change of the grade filed in the end-of-semester course report is permitted “on the basis of reassessment of the quality of a student's work” Changes can only be made to correct clerical or procedural errors such as errors in adding scores or transcribing grades. • Letter grades for the course are assigned on a “curve.” The faculty review the grades of each student and make every attempt to be fair. In the past, scores in the range of the mean and the median have been assigned a grade of B-. |
