Welcome to Biology B!

It is wonderful to see you all again and to meet some of you for the first time.

I am really looking forward to this semester.
There are a few changes you will see:
test retake policy and exam taking policy:
you may retake tests only if you have completed your review, remediation and learning log.
If you fail the retake, you will no longer be eligible for test retaking.
If your test average is 85% or higher, you may use the grade as your exam grade as long as you pass the final exam.

Today we are going over the syllabus. Please sign and return the info sheet.
and then beginning our pretest. It is important you try your best so the data I collect is useful. You will be receiving effort points for the assignment.
