GRADING: Grades or evaluation of the student's understanding of the material will be from the following percentages:
1) General Examinations (tentative dates in course outline). 60% Exams (3 lecture {10% each} and 1 final{20%}) will consist of material presented in lecture, lab and readings. The final will have a semi-comprehensive portion. Lecture Quizzes equal 10%. (Every Friday in lecture there will be a Quiz unless told otherwise) 2) Lab Quizzes Given during lab periods. 10% . 3) Laboratory Reports and Exercises Your lab instructor will 20% discuss the report type, due date and grade the exercise. 4) Library Paper 10% This paper will be a synopsis dealing with a specific area of mammalian physiology and will be based information from at least five current research articles (not reviews) from scientific journals. Titles will be due during the laboratory period of Feb. 24-26 and should be explanatory as to the topic. A photocopy of the first page of each article including the journal name, volume, page, date and abstract will be due in the laboratory period of March 17-19. This paper should not be longer than 10 or less than 6 pages, double-spaced and is due on or before 5:00PM, April 16, 2004. This paper may not be used to or have been used to fulfill the requirements of another course. Be sure to attach your abstract pages to your paper.

Examinations and quizzes will be graded by Dr. McCorkle and the lab instructors. Final grades will be based on the percentage of total points achieved and will approximately range as follows: A 90-100% C 70-79% Below 60% is failing B 80-89% D 60-69% MISCELLANEOUS The final exam will not be given at any other than the scheduled time. Make-up exams will be given only under extreme circumstances (illness, death in the family). Students are expected to attend lectures and laboratories. A grade of incomplete will be given only to students who are passing the course and for some reason of emergency, fail to complete the course requirements.
