No make-up labs will be scheduled. See "MAKEUP/MISSED ASSESSMENTS" below for details.
- The sequence of labs is indicated in the Learning Plan below however the sequence may change in
consideration of holidays and campus closures.
Online labs (contingency planning)

- In the event of a campus closure, students will complete labs at home using household materials and online
resources. If a student does not have access to the materials indicated in the online lab, it is the student's
responsibility to connect with their instructor in a timely manner to discuss alternatives in advance of the lab
submission deadline.
- Online labs are due by the date and time indicated by the instructor. Late labs will not be accepted just as late
submissions are not accepted in the on-campus lab environment.
- In the event labs are completed online, pre-labs are not completed. The weight for each pre-lab will be
redistributed to the lab submission.
- Student's may complete the makeup lab at the end of the semester to replace the grade of one missed lab
(whether in-person or online). See "MAKEUP/MISSED ASSESSMENTS" below for details.
6. MAKEUP/MISSED ASSESSMENTS
- Missed lab: If for any reason a student is absent for a lab (either an in-person lab or online lab), a mark of zero
will be assigned. Students may complete a makeup lab at the end of term to replace the grade of zero on one
missed lab. This policy applies to one missed lab only. The missed lab policy does not apply if a student
completed a lab and received a low grade which they would like to improve. The missed lab policy does not
apply if a student received a zero on a lab due to an Academic Integrity violation. The date and structure of the
makeup lab will be provided by the instructor.
- Missed test: If for any reason a student is absent for a test (either an in-person test or online test), a mark of
zero will be assigned. Students may complete a cumulative makeup test at the end of term to replace the grade
of zero on one missed test. The cumulative makeup test covers all course content and the test grade will
replace one missed test grade. This policy applies to one missed test only. The missed test policy does not
apply if a student wrote a test and received a low grade which they would like to improve. The missed test
policy does not apply if a student received a zero on a test due to an Academic Integrity violation.

- Missed mastery quiz: If for any reason a student does not complete a mastery quiz, a mark of zero will be
assigned. At the end of the semester, DC Connect will be set to "drop" each student's lowest mastery quiz
grade from their overall grade calculation.
7. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
- While students may work together in pairs or small groups to complete assessments, including lab reports,
each student must submit their own original work.
- Sharing of short answer, calculation based or other elements of a lab is considered a violation of the Academic
Integrity policy.
8. INTERIM GRADE
- An interim grade will be calculated to assess student's academic progress.
- The interim grade will be based on the results of the best 2 mastery quizzes (2 x 4.5% = 9%), 3 pre-labs (3 x
2% = 6%), 3 lab reports (3 x 5% = 15%) and test 1 (20%).
9. SUPPLEMENTAL WORK
- No assessment may be redone to raise a student's mark.
- Extra assignments or other supplemental or makeup work will not be created for students to increase their
grades during or after the course is complete.
- Missed assessments will receive a grade of zero.
- It is in all student's best interest to complete all assessments, by their due date, to the best of their ability.
