Spring 2013
Format
of
the
class:
Four
major
topic
of
cell
biology
will
be
covered.
For
each,
you
will
be
given
reading
assignments
(textbook,
journal
articles
and
webpages),
watching
assignments
(many
from
the
Cell
Biology
classes
at
UC
Berkeley)
and
thinking
assignments.
You
are
expected
to
spend
considerable
time
outside
of
class
taking
in
this
information.
In
class,
we
will
do
exercises
to
help
you
synthesize
the
information
and
learn
how
to
use
it.
A
big
part
of
this
class
will
be
focused
on
learning
how
to
read
and
analyze
current
papers
in
Cell
Biology
research.
End-of-unit
tests:
The
last
1.5
hours
of
the
last
class
period
devoted
to
each
topic
will
be
a
test
on
the
material
in
that
unit.
You
will
be
able
to
access
any
information
you
have
written
(not
photocopied)
in
your
class
notebook.
In
addition,
you
will
be
able
to
access
your
printed
copies
of
any
assigned
papers.
Of
the
four
tests,
the
lowest
grade
will
be
dropped
prior
to
final
grade
calculation.
Final
Exam:
The
final
exam
will
be
the
same
general
format
as
the
end-of-unit
tests,
but
it
will
cover
all
of
the
material
presented
throughout
the
semester.
The
same
open-notebook
policy
will
apply.
Lab
assignments:
These
will
be
discussed
in
detail
during
the
lab.
Written
reports
will
comprise
25%
of
your
final
grade.
You
will
be
required
to
submit
the
reports
through
the
Bb
Turnitin
program,
so
please
make
sure
you
learn
how
to
do
this
ahead
of
the
due
date/time.
You
must
bring
your
lab
notebook
to
every
lab
sessionwhile
you
will
not
be
graded
on
this,
there
will
be
no
lab
handouts,
so
you
must
record
all
of
the
information
you
need
in
your
lab
notebook.
Attendance
Policy:
Your
attendance
is
expected
at
all
lectures
and
laboratories.
For
the
lecture
portion
of
the
class
(Tuesday),
you
will
receive
a
failing
grade
for
the
course
if
you
have
three
or
more
unexcused
absences.
For
the
lab
portion,
1
unexcused
absence
results
in
lowering
your
final
grade
one
full
point,
2
unexcused
absences
results
in
failing
the
course.

Academic
integrity:
Students
are
expected
to
maintain
the
highest
standards

plagiarism
are
serious
offenses,
and
students
found
guilty
of
any
form
of
academic
dishonesty
are
subject
to
disciplinary
action.
The
Biology
department
has
a
specific
policy
regarding
academic
integrity.
We
will
discuss
this
in
detail
laterbut,
in
general,
it
states
that

kept
on
file,
and
penalties

increase
upon
repeated
occurrences.
