Text: Immunology,
4th Edition by Janis Kuby
-
Biol. 5190 is a detailed introductory course designed
to provide a background in the structure of the genes and proteins of the
immune system, the function of these molecules, and the function of the
cells which make up the body's defense system. Experimental design is emphasized.
Grading Policy and Exam
Procedures
-
Grades will be based on two one-hour exams and a comprehensive
final exam. Each of the one-hour exams will count 33% of your final grade.
The final exam will count 34% of your final grade. Failure to take an exam
at the assigned time and date will result in a zero for that exam. These
exams are your only point opportunities and will cover lecture material
and reading assignments from the text. Students with excused absences from
any of the exams may be allowed to take a comprehensive makeup exam scheduled
for Monday, December 9 (last day of our class), subject to my approval.
Only one makeup exam will be given. Undergraduate student exams (e.g. 4BI
or equivalent) and post-Bachelor-degree student exams (6GR, 7GR, etc.)
will have one or more different questions - totaling approximately 10%
of the point value of each exam - often in the form of an experimental
design question for the "GR" students.
