Biological knowledge of the structure and function of ecosystems; human influence on the environment. Three lectures and/or discussion groups per week. (3 hours credit)
Points will be derived from:
The professor reserves the right to add negative points for improper behavior. (Leaving class early without prior approval, talking while someone is making a presentation, studying for another class, unexcused absences and tardiness are among those things deemed improper.)
Attendance policy: You are paying for this class -- get your money's worth by being in class. Since we have no book attendance is critical. Late submission of assignments result in a 10% grade reduction per day --not class day. Since most assignments are submitted via email they need to be emailed when due even if you have an excuse for missing class the due day. Officially excused missed tests will be made up during finals week. Unexcused missed tests will be recorded as a 0. Anyone missing more than 6 classes unexcused will be dropped from the class with an F. Three tardies = 1 absence.

Electronic devices:
All electronic devices such as cell phones, PDA’s, pagers, computers, calculators, IM devices, MP3 players, must be turned off and left in your book bag during class and exams. Non-compliance may result in dismissal from class, a zero on the exam, and will result in a loss of 2 percentage points on your final grade for each incident. So, please turn them off and leave them in your bag. Thanks in advance for this courtesy. |
