Biology 101 consists of both a
lecture portion (worth 650 points) and
a laboratory portion (worth 325 points). Thus, your grade will be calculated on the basis
of 975 points. Below is a break down of how the 975 points
may be earned. After you have read this page, print out a
copy of the student record sheet for
keeping track of your grades. I will use this same form to
keep a record of the points you earn.
