Seeing Lab Materials: Lab location is Butler 007.  Unfortunately, two hours may not be long enough for some students to become familiar enough with the material presented in this lab. Therefore we encourage students to attend other lab sections where possible to give themselves more time with the specimens. You are welcome to look at the materials during other lab periods or between lab periods as long as you do not disturb the students in that lab section. The specimens are not available on other days of the week.

Lab Grade: Your lab grade will be calculated using your quiz (20%) and exam (80%) averages. The final lab grade will count as 25% of your overall grade in WFSC 302. There will be no curve of the lab grades.

Exams and Quizzes: You must take your exam/quiz with the lab section in which you are enrolled. If a UNIVERSITY EXCUSED reason prevents you from doing this, you may take the exam/quiz in another section with the PRIOR approval of your TA and the TA of the section you wish to attend. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS or QUIZZES!!
