Notes:
1. TESTS
DATES: Students must be prepared to write all tests at the scheduled time and place. Students are responsible
for accessing this information via DC Connect as it is announced throughout the term.
LOGISTICS: Specific details regarding the delivery format and structure of the tests will be provided to students
at the beginning of the semester. Marked tests are not returned to students on a permanent basis, but students
are given the opportunity to review them in class or by appointment with their instructor.
LATE ARRIVALS: In the event that a test is written in paper format during class time, students arriving more
than 20 minutes late for Test 1 or Test 2 will not be allowed to write the test.
MISSED TESTS: There are no individual rewrites or rescheduling of tests missed due to absence. If for any
reason a student misses a test, the student may write a makeup test at the end of the semester that is
cumulative of the entire term. This only applies to 1 missed test; a mark of zero will be assigned to any other
missed tests. In the event that the makeup test is in paper format, students may be required to write the

makeup test in Week 14 or in the Durham College Test Centre during a weekend open session.
2. LABS
GRADING: 6 on-campus labs will be graded in this course, with the best 5 counted at 5% each. On-campus lab
evaluations may be submitted during the scheduled lab period. Students with an Access Plan that contains a
time accommodation should discuss their accommodation with their lab instructor.
LAB RESOURCES: Lab instructions are provided to detail the sequence and content of the labs.
LAB SCHEDULE: A lab schedule is provided at the beginning of the term to inform students when graded labs
will be performed. This schedule will closely follow the Learning Plan (Section XII below) unless labs conflict
with scheduled school holidays.
REQUIRED STUDENT MATERIALS: Students are required to wear appropriate attire at all times while in the
lab. Students must purchase their own lab coat and safety glasses from Durham College's Campus Bookstore
if they prefer. Students will be provided with a medical grade face mask upon arrival at the lab. Students who
fail to have these 3 items (lab coat, safety glasses, face mask) at their scheduled lab time will be unable to
complete the lab and will receive a mark of zero for that lab. See Required Text(s) and Supplies (Section IX)
section for further details.
SAFETY TRAINING: All students must complete an online safety module before they are permitted entry into
the labs. This module includes a quiz where students are required to achieve a grade of 80% or higher. Multiple
attempts are permitted. Any special health conditions may also be noted here. Completion of this training
confirms that the student understands and agrees to the safety regulations put forth. Students who do not
complete this requirement will be denied access to the labs and will receive a mark of zero for the missed lab
periods.
ATTENDANCE AND LATE ARRIVALS: Lab attendance is compulsory and students must be present at the lab
in order for a report to be accepted for grading. Students who miss a lab for any reason will receive a mark of
zero on that associated lab evaluation. Note, however, that the lowest lab report grade will be dropped at the end
of the semester (see GRADING). For safety reasons, a student that is more than 15 minutes late is not allowed
to enter the lab, and therefore will not be allowed to submit the associated lab evaluation for grading.
HOUSEKEEPING: Students must work cooperatively, respectfully, and safely. Backpacks, cell phones,
headphones and earbuds are not permitted in the lab. Students are expected to dress appropriately following all
guidelines put forth in the safety module. If an instructor feels a student is not properly dressed for the lab, the
instructor may ask the student to leave. Please inform your lab instructor if you are required to wear medical
devices. Should a student not adhere to the lab safety policies and procedures, the lab instructor will issue a
Student Academic Alert for Behaviour/Conduct. Penalties will be commensurate with the nature of the offense.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: While students may work in small groups to complete the assignment, each student
must submit their own original work. Submissions may be checked for authenticity using TurnItIn software.
COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS: In the event that COVID-19 restrictions prevent on-campus labs from
occurring, online alternatives will be provided instead via DC Connect. Lab evaluations must be submitted to
DC Connect by 11:59 PM on the date established by the instructor. The late submission policy is described in
Note 4.
3. WEEKLY QUIZZES
GRADING: 12 weekly quizzes will be given in this course, with the best 10 counted at 1% each. Quizzes are
completed online via DC Connect and must be completed by 11:59 pm on the date established by the instructor.
Further information about the structure and weight of the quizzes will be provided by your instructor.
LATE SUBMISSIONS: The quizzes are due by the date and time established by the instructor. Late
submissions will not be accepted.
4. ASSIGNMENTS
LATE SUBMISSIONS: All assignments are due in the DC Connect assignments folder by 11:59 pm on the due
date established by your instructor. Unless otherwise directed by your instructor, submissions made by other
means (including, but not limited to email or hard copy) will not be accepted and will result in a grade of zero.
Computer malfunctions or technical issues are not accepted as excuses for late or missing course requirements.

It is the student's responsibility to resolve any technical issues prior to the stated evaluation deadline. Visit the
IT Service Desk Portal or call the Service Desk at 905-721-3333 should technical difficulties arise.
