Please refer to the Delivery Instructions for further details. Delivery Instructions In-person lectures will be recorded and posted on Quercus, formative assessments will be available during and outside the class time. Students are expected to attend all summative assessments (quiz, midterms, and a final) and practical sessions in-person. Tests: All term tests will be held on a Tuesday from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The precise dates will be confirmed on the Quercus course site in early September. Students should try to avoid scheduling tutorials/practicals in other courses in that time slot. If a conflict is unavoidable, students should be available Tuesdays 4:00pm to 6:00pm to write at the alternate sitting. Practicals: Students cannot alternate their Practical, on the same day, with any 100‐level BIO or CHM course lab. Students may add or change a Practical (PRA) section via ACORN until September 16, 2024. Starting September 17, 2024, adding or changing of Practical sections must be requested online at: https://forms.office.com/r/2MQbHUWdev.
