+
 
+
There will be two one-hour, non-cumulative, exams scheduled during the lecture hour.  During the final exam period, a third one-hour exam will be given covering material from the final third of the course.  Details about the collections tour and video project will be provided later in the semester.<br>
+
<br>
+
 
+
== Collections Tours ==
+
 
+
Every student is expected to visit the [http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/department/collections/index.html EEB Biological Collections] for a tour that will introduce you to the resources and opportunities in the collection. We will offer 10 different opportunities, on different days and times. You will need to sign in at the collection; at the end of the semester, everyone who has signed in, will have 10 points added to their grade. '''Tours will take about 45 minutes, they meet at the south end of the Biology/Physics building lobby on the hour'''. You are responsible for finding a day and time to attend from the options below; if your class schedule prohibits you from attending any of these, you are responsible for letting us know that you will need an alternate opportunity BEFORE THE LAST WEEK OF CLASS. If you have already toured the collections (e.g., in a previous class with me or another instructor), provide me with documentation to that effect, and we will just add the 10 points to your grade without you needing to tour the collections again.

==Course Policies==
+
'''Missed Exams:'''<br>
+
Any student who does not attend an exam and fails to receive permission [[in advance]] will receive a 0 for the exam.  Approval of any request to miss an exam requires, [[but is not guaranteed by]], verifiable written documentation of the reason.  A student who receives approval to miss an exam will have his or her grade for the missed exam prorated based on his or her performance on the remainder of the exams.  We will not give make-up exams.  Every student must take the final (exam 3).  Permission to reschedule the final can only be obtained through procedures determined by the [http://www.ossa.uconn.edu/ Office of Student Services and Advocacy].
+
<br>
+
 
+
 
+
'''Academic Integrity:'''<br>
+
Plagiarism and cheating are violations of the student conduct code, and may be punished by failure in the course or, in severe cases, dismissal from the University.  For more information, see [http://www.dosa.uconn.edu/student_code_partiv.html Section IV of the Student Conduct Code].<br>
+
<br>
+
'''Disabilities:'''<br>
+
If you have a disability for which you may be requesting an accommodation, you should contact a course instructor and the [http://www.csd.uconn.edu Center for Students with Disabilities] (Wilbur Cross Building, Room 201) within the first two weeks of the semester.<br>
+
<br>
+
 
+
==Help Resources==
+
The secret of success to this course is to not let yourself fall behind.  Be sure to fill gaps in your notes and navigate blocks in your understanding as soon as possible.  Should you run into trouble with the material, below we have listed some steps for obtaining assistance.  While we welcome any and all questions on the material, before you contact us, please first check the resources below to see if your question has already been answered.  If/when you do contact us, please understand that we will respond as quickly as we can, but we do have other obligations that might prevent this from happening as urgently as you may need (like 3:00 am the day of an exam...).
