MANDATORY TUTORING:
In an effort to increase retention in Biology courses, any student who scores below a 70 on any exam (excluding the Final Exam week) must complete a 1 hour mandatory tutoring session through the Science Enrichment Center (SEC), Smarthinking Online Tutoring, or with his/her instructor before taking the next exam.
Before getting mandatory tutoring, students must first make a tutoring session appointment with the SEC by either calling or visiting. The SEC will do its best to accommodate a student’s schedule within the SEC hours of operation. This may require plenty of advanced notice by the student as time slots fill quickly. Upon arrival in the SEC, students must inform SEC staff that they are there for mandatory tutoring.
Tutoring may be done via an online platform. Failure to get the required tutoring BEFORE the next exam will result in a grade of 0 on that exam.
Mandatory tutoring will not require remediation over a failed test.
It is highly recommended you attend each class/lab and arrive on time. In the event you are absent, read over the assignment and contact me with any questions.
- If you miss an exam due to a school sponsored event or illness, proper documentation is required stating the reason for your absence (such as a doctor’s note or signed letter from your coach/professor) in order for you to make up the missed exam. Documentation must be provided within 24 hours for this to apply.
- If you know you will miss an exam, please give a minimum of one week prior notice so that arrangements can be made for you to take the exam. You will be required to take exams within the time period I provide you.
- Make up exams will be in a different format from the original.
