GRADES: 3 class tests @ 100, 75, and 75 points 250 points 1 final @ 100 points 100 points Cellular Neurobiology problem set 50 points Participation is discussions 50 points Total 450 points Exams will consist of a combination of multiple choice and short assay questions, with a preference for the latter. It is very important no only that you understand the material and know "the answer" to a question, but that you are able to articulate your views. You are welcome to get together for discussions, but "collaboration" during exams is strictly barred. The Problem Set is due the day of the first exam. You can arrive at the answers in collaborative discussion groups or individually, and the methods should be stated. (this will have no effect on the grade). Barring sickness or a family tragedy, no late exams will be allowed. Both circumstances will have to be officially justified, as soon as possible, for a late exam to be administered.
