Important information regarding the structure of Foundations of Biology
120:201
Foundations of Biology Lecture (120:201; 3 credits) and Laboratory (120:202; 1 credit) are separate courses. They should be taken concurrently. (You will not receive credit for 120:201 unless you complete 120:202 at the same time or have completed it previously).
At the end of the semester you will have two separate grades listed on your transcript. This link takes you to 120:202 Foundations of Biology Laboratory, which opens in a new browser's window.
Grading policies
- There are three scheduled lecture exams which will be held on the dates indicated above and a comprehensive final exam to be held during the final exam period, to be announced by registrar.
- The lowest grade of the 3 lecture exams will be dropped.
- Each of the two remaining lecture exam grades will count for 35% of the course grade.
- The comprehensive final exam will count for 30% of the course grade.
- There will be no make-up exams for missed tests, with the exception made for an officially approved reason (see university guidelines) for which you have written documentation (e.g., physician's note, religious reason, etc.). Please notify your instructor as soon as possible prior to the scheduled exam.
Please note that there will be no make-up exams, special assignments or other activities to improve your grade.
- Rutgers University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology have a formal policy on academic honesty and integrity, which will be enforced in this course. Cheating includes (but it is not limited to) talking during the exam, consulting a cell phone "life line," using paper or calculator-based reminders, consulting your book or study guides, and staring at a classmates' exams. Please go to these web sites to familiarize yourself with NJIT and Rutgers' policies:
