Lab Exams: Lab exams will consist of a set of stations located around the classroom. At each station one or two questions will be asked with typically two answers required for each (i.e., structure and function or class and phylum). Questions will relate to the animal, microscopic slides or models found at each station. Students will be asked to rotate in an orderly fashion to the next station after approximately 90 seconds at each.
 

Cheating: If you are caught cheating on exams or plagiarizing the work of others you will be subject to academic disciplinary actions and standards outlined in the university policy on academic honesty. You will be expected to be responsible for adhering to these standards: http://www.csus.edu/admbus/umanual/UMA00150.htm
