You are expected to attend laboratory every week. Quizzes consist of short answer and lab practical type questions. In addition, you may be asked to hand in graphs or data sheets. There is one lab report on the Scientific Method worth 20 points. On written assignments, 10% of the grade will be taken off for each day late. There are eleven 10 point quizzes scheduled. Some extra credit opportunities such as the Tree Identification exercise, will be made available in lab. You must attend the last lab day and take the 10 point quiz and hand in the assignment, or you will lose 20 points. Total points = 140
