Notes
Purchase of a new textbook provides you with a password for Campbell Biology. This web site is designed for users of the textbook and includes self-assessment reviews, interactive learning activities, chapter specific web links and much more.
You will need to purchase a laboratory manual. It is compulsory to wear a lab coat.
If a laboratory is missed, arrangements should be made to make up the work at a later date. This could involve:
(a) Attending another lab. stream later in the week after informing your laboratory supervisor (this is by far the best course of action).
(b) Consulting with the lab. supervisor to obtain data for the missed lab.
If a laboratory assessment due date is missed due to illness, injury, personal bereavement or other critical personal circumstances, and the work can be made up by obtaining an extension, a written explanation from an appropriate person (e.g., medical doctor, counsellor, minister, priest) should be given to the lab. supervisor to obtain an extension. If those critical circumstances mean you cannot make up the work, missed the test or final exam, or you consider you have been impaired, you should apply for aegrotat consideration for the piece of assessment.
