OPTIONAL:!!Biology,!8th!or!9th!ed.!Campbell!and!Reece.!!OR!!Principles(of(Life.((1st!ed.!!!Hillis,!David!et!al.! ! I-Clickers: You are required to purchase the I-clicker Gen 2 for this class. • Attendance and participation is registered by your in-class I-Clicker responses. •

Points earned by daily clicker questions/group work constitute 10% of your course grade.

•

Missed classes (for whatever reason!), late arrivals or forgotten clickers more than 90% of the semester will result in deductions of clicker points.

DO NOT send your clicker to class with a friend as this is considered scholastic dishonesty. Students who are not present in the classroom, yet whose I-clicker is present will lose all their earned clicker points for the semester and will have a scholastic dishonesty file charged against them. ! $ $
