Grading: Grades will be compiled as part of the total grade for Pharmacy 4420. See the syllabus for PHPR 4420. I will submit your final point average to the coordinator of the entire course. Your final point average will be based on your scores on the midterm, final, extra credit and other sources that may develop.

Office Hours: Mondays right after class in a room to be announced, or by appointment.

Exams: There will be a midterm and a final. The date for the mid-term will be announced.

Quizzes: Unannounced quizzes may be given at any time. Missed quizzes cannot be made up. There are no excuses

Missed Quizzes or Exams:

Quizzes cannot be made up. A make-up midterm exam will be offered only for excused absences. The student must contact the college office or me before the exam. Acceptable excuses include: severe injury or illness (proof of visit to emergency room or physician must be provided), or death in family (obituary must be provided). Over sleeping is not an excuse. The final decision on the acceptability of the student's excuse will be made by the course coordinator.

Attendance Policy: Regular classroom attendance is expected necessary for academic success and preparation for employment. Students are expected to attend class and take notes. Note taking in this class is very important.

Since I am only at the university on the day of class, you will have a hard time getting a hold of me at the College of Pharmacy by phone. Feel free to contact me at home (Please phone at reasonable hours). Naturally, you can fax or e-mail me anytime

The following is a tentative class, topic, and test schedule for the spring quarter. It is subject to change. We may move through the material at a faster or slower pace than the schedule indicates. If the mid-term is to given on a different date I will notify at least two weeks in advance.
