Sections:
Please sign up for a section
on the TA’s sign-up sheet on the first day that the section meets.
It is permitted to switch sections, but TA’s have the right to limit section
size by refusing to take additional students. There will be no grade assigned
for section attendance.
Internet:
The course web page is at http://www.biology.ucsd.edu/classes/bild2.FA05.
It will (eventually)
contain syllabi, exam keys, and any other course handouts.
Grading:
Exams will be based on the lectures; the reading assignments are designed to
aid in interpretation of the lecture material. Midterms will be in class
on the day indicated on the syllabus; the final will be 3 hours long on the
day indicated in the UCSD schedule of classes.

There
will be no make-up midterms. For students with an excused medical absence
from a midterm, the final will count for 75% of the grade. Forging or
altering a doctor's excuse note will be considered cheating and dealt with as
described below. Completion of all assignments is required to receive
a passing grade!
Academic
dishonesty: Cheating and academic dishonesty will not be tolerated
in this course. According to UCSD policy, academic dishonesty includes:
Providing or procuring answers to future exams or assignments.
Taking an exam for another student or doing another student's problem sets.
Allowing another student to complete an exam or problem set for you.
Plagiarizing or copying another student's work.
Employing unauthorized aids (textbooks, cheat sheets) during an exam.
Altering graded assignments and submitting them for regrading.
Any student caught
cheating on any assignment will not receive credit for that assignment. Since
all assignments must be completed to pass the course, this will result in
a failing grade for the course. All suspected incidents of cheating
will also be reported to the appropriate dean. No exceptions will be
made.
