With the exceptions of Weeks 1, 9, 10, 16, and 17, a 15-point quiz is given each week in lab. The two lab exams are each worth 30 points. Your lowest quiz score from the first half of the semester and again from the second half of the semester will be dropped. There are no "make-up" quizzes or exams. If you are unable to attend your scheduled lab exam – you must take the exam that same week in another lab section. Your participation in the Genetics Workshop will earn you 15 points.

Your earned percentage of points available in your lab section at midterm and again for the second half of the semester will be sent to your lecture instructor for the purpose of your course grade computation.

--- You must earn at least 55% of the points available in lab in order to pass Biology 120 ---
