Technology All students enrolled in BIO 22 must get a SacLink account by the end of the first week of classes. Students should be comfortable using a computer and willing to browse the Internet. RealOne Player software is required to view video streamed materials. The software can be downloaded free from the Internet. Materials will download faster if you use a high-speed (broadband) computer connection to the Internet (campus network or a DSL/cable modem). Students can access the Internet from one of the campus student labs if a personal high-speed connection is not available. Check out Computer Hardware Recommendations for Sacramento State Students for more information about equipment. Schedule

Class Attendance, Exams and Grading Policies Attendance is required for all lectures and laboratories. There are no make-up lecture or laboratory examinations or quizzes. Failure to take any exam or quiz results in a grade of 0 for the exam or quiz. There will be a total of 1150 points in the course. There are many opportunities for you to earn points toward your final grade in the course. There are four midterm lecture written exams and one final comprehensive lecture written exam. There are also four midterm lab practical exams and one final comprehensive lab practical exam. In addition, there is one introductory quiz, ten WebCT quizzes and twelve to fifteen laboratory quizzes. The format for examinations will be different depending on the information covered on the exam. Examples of types of questions which may occur on the examinations include multiple-choice, matching, short answer, discussion, morphology identification and identification of structures on models and charts in the laboratory. The point totals for the exams and quizzes are listed below:
Final Grades are determined using the following criteria:
A Outstanding achievement 90% of total possible points B Excellent performance; clearly exceeds
course requirements 80-89% C Meets course requirements 70-79% D Passed, but not at average achievement
standards 60-69% F Failure to meet class requirements less than 60% Plus and minus grades may be given at
the discretion of the Instructors. Cheating Policy Anyone cheating in any capacity will be assigned
a final grade of "F" for the course. No exceptions. Laptop computers are to be used for note-taking only. All cell phones must be turned off or set on vibration mode while in class. No text messaging or e-mailing is permitted. The add/drop policies for all on-campus and off-campus students in BIO 22 are the same as the Sacramento State add/drop policies. Students should refer to the Sacramento State Academic Calendar on the Web site (http://www.csus.edu/) for the appropriate add/drop dates.
