Final Exam (4:40-6:30) |
100 Pts. Ch.19-25 and 100 Pts. Cumulative from exams1-3 |
|

| REQUIREDTEXT |
Griffiths, et al., An Introductionto
Genetic Analysis, sixth edition |
| OPTIONALTEXT |
Lavett, A student companion with
complete solutions for "An Introduction to Genetic Analysis", sixthedition |
| GRADINGPOLICY |
Your course grade will be determinedby
your cumulative score from three 100 point midterm exams and a 200 pointfinal.
All exams will be multiple choice. Final grades will be based ona class
distribution of the 500 total points. |
| MAKEUP
EXAMS |
Make up exams will only be offeredin
cases of documented emergencies and may consist of anessay
format. Approval for a make up exam must be obtained within one weekof

If you know that you will be absent from an exam for athletics, weddings,etc,
you must take the exam BEFORE the scheduled exam date, NOT after. |
| RECITATION |
Janell Schaak will work out theassigned
problems for the indicated chapters during the recitation dateslisted on
the front page. Problems will not be collected or graded. I willnot work
