  3. SUBTERM 1: UNITS OF INSTRUCTION • Focus: unifying themes of life. • A lot of new terms, concepts and labs so attendance is very important. • Inorganic Chemistry Review • Biochemistry • Cells & Cell Division • Molecular Structure & Function of DNA • Biotechnology (Amgen Lab series)

  4. SUBTERM 2: UNITS OF INSTRUCTION • Focus: energetics & application of concepts from the first half of the course • Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration • Genetics & Heredity • Evolution

  5. HOMEWORK HOMEWORK 10% 10% CLASSWORK CLASSWORK 35% 30% TESTS & QUIZZES TESTS & QUIZZES 55% 45% COMPREHENSIVE FINAL 15% GRADES: Category Weights SUBTERM 1 SUBTERM 2 *Late work will only be accepted TWO times through the end of the Term.

  6. Homework • Assigned on a regular basis • Time should be spent each night reviewing the work of the day and the past week • Not possible to only prepare for these exams the night or two before

  7. Grading Scale Need a “B-” or better to stay in the honors science track. I do not offer extra credit. Course grades will be determined by percent weights in 3 or 4 categories. Final grades will be based on the following percentages: 100 - 93 A 76 - 73 C 92 - 89 A- 72 - 69 C- 88 - 87 B+ 68 - 67 D+ 86 - 83 B 66 - 63 D 82 - 79 B- 62 - 59 D- 78 - 77 C+ 58 - 0 F NO EXTRA CREDIT
