Questions and Comments

Biology 202, Section 9, Dr. Leif Saul

• Question: Are we having a pop quiz today? I need to leave early.
  
  Answer: It wouldn't be a pop quiz if I told you! Quizzes can happen anytime during the class period, so you are taking a gamble whenever you leave early or arrive late to class.

• Question: I haven't been doing well on the exams and quizzes in this class. Can I do some kind of extra work to boost my grade?
  
  Answer: Fairness and consistency are two of my primary concerns in grading students. Changing the "rules" at some point in the semester, to assist selected students, would sacrifice those principles. So, the answer to your question is no.

• Question: I wasn't able to come to class last time. What should I do?
  
  Answer: Check with a classmate, or with me, to find out if you missed any quizzes, worksheets, handouts, or announcements. If you missed a graded activity, see the syllabus for instructions on what to do. Otherwise, there is no need to see me except to obtain copies of handouts.
