ATTENDANCE AND ABSENCES:                                                           

     Lecture:

     Students are expected to attend all lecture sessions of the class. You will be held responsible for all information given during lecture.  If you miss a session, please call your instructor for an excused absence.  

Lab:

All laboratory sessions are required.  Cultures are issued, directions given, and discussions of previous laboratories are included in these sessions.  The time will vary greatly from week to week. 

If you are unable to attend a laboratory session, you must phone and leave a message for your instructor so that cultures and other materials will be saved for you.  Lab make-ups will be allowed only with documentation of an emergency or illness.

All laboratory and lecture assignments missed during periods of absence must be made up within a one-week period following your return to class.  Tardiness beyond 5 minutes will result in loss of participation in lab and a make-up will not be allowed.

Penalties will be assessed for late laboratory assignments.
