Grading Policy : Grades will be divided among the various tests/papers/examinations in the following manner                             
                                                              Test-1               (20%)                            
                                                              Test-2               (20%)
                           Term/Paper or Paper Critique            (15%)

                                                          Final Exam            (45%)

*Please note that, while these are the normal distribution of grades, points can be deducted throughout the course for continued "non-attendance".

Graduate vs. Undergraduate: It will be expected that Graduate-level students (Bio6564) will have a more thorough understanding of the topics covered in this course. Consequently, they will be graded on a differenr level (especially with regards to their "paper critique".

Makeup exams: Please make every effort to take the tests on the scheduled dates. Makeup exams should be taken only under very special circumstances. Please note that the makeup exams may be graded differently, as (by definition) they cannot be incorporated into a "class curve". 

Ethical considerations: Unless otherwise stated, all examination answers that are submitted for evaluation are considered to be the sole property and ideas of each individual student. Any student(s) caught copying or cheating will automatically receive zero credit for that particular submission, and possibly be subject to further disciplinary action.
