Methods of Evaluation:
There
will be 5 tests during the semester for the laboratory course.
Each of
the first 4 tests will be worth 100 points and the 5th test 200 points,
for a
total of 600 points for the semester. I grade on a straight
percentage
basis (no curve). A more complete description of the
type of
exams is in the syllabus. As it takes hours of preparation to set
up the
practical part of your exams you cannot make up this portion of your
test. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE WILL BE MADE. I
encourage
those of you who are pre-veterinary or veterinary technology students
to
actively participate in either/both the Pre-Veterinary
Club
or RVT Club.
You
should also see Mrs. White, or myself regarding internships, resumes,
and class
schedules. Those students seeking letters of recommendation -
please see
what is required of you at the beginning of the semester (ask to see
recommendation questionnaire). Attendance will weigh
heavily on
your grade. If dropping remember it is the STUDENT’S
responsibility to
drop a class, not the instructor. Click
