“Developmental Biology” by Scott Gilbert (8th edition)
Sinauer Associates Inc., ISBN 0-87893-250-X
The accompanying website (www.devbio.com) can also be searched by topic.
Some additional materials may be provided as handouts.

Exams:
There will be three exams given in this course. These will be given in the evening of February 20th (7pm, NSC 201), the evening of April 3rd (7pm, Knox 110), and during the final exam week. If you have a conflict with one of the exam times, you must inform the instructor immediately. If you miss an exam due to illness, you must present a signed doctor’s note in order to make-up the exam. Rescheduled exams will be handled on a case-by-case basis and may be given as oral exams.

While the third exam will not be a cumulative final, be aware that material covered for the third exam will build on topics presented throughout the course.

Grading:
Grades in this course will be determined on the basis of the three exams, which will be 100 points each. (Your final grade will be based on 300 total points possible.) The final grades will be assigned using the +/- grading system.

Questions regarding grading of an exam must be submitted in writing to the instructor giving the exam within one week from the time the graded exams are returned to the students. The student must check the grading key before asking for a regrade. Note that when a regrade is requested, the entire exam may be regraded.

Academic dishonesty, in any form, will not be tolerated. Cheating on an examination will result in an “F” grade for the entire course and a notation in the departmental file and/or University file that the failing grade was assigned as a result of dishonesty.
