Practical Lab Exam Guidelines & Policies

 

  • One lab exam will be dropped at the end of the semester; therefore there will be no lab make-up exams.
  • Be on time for each exam.  If you are late, you will have to hand in your exam when the last person who came on time completes their exam.
  • Correct spelling is mandatory.  Points will be deducted for spelling errors.
  • Give only one answer per question, unless otherwise indicated, and write out complete terms.  Do not abbreviate.
  • Answer each question completely, i.e. “carotid artery” is not adequate if the correct answer is “left internal carotid artery.”
  • Include units of measurement when appropriate.
  • Indicate right or left when appropriate.
  • Read each question carefully.  If you are not sure what the question is asking, please ask for clarification during the exam, not after.  
  • Keep track of which question you are answering.  You will most likely visit the stations in non-numerical order.
  • Unless discussed differently by the instructor, use terms and values given in the lab supplement, and be as specific as the question requires.
  • Only one person is allowed at each station.  Cover your answers with the cover sheet provided.
  • Keep your hands (and clipboards) off the lab tables AT ALL TIMES unless the question states that you can pick up the model or specimen.  Do not write on table surfaces.  Do not move models, question stickers/pins, or microscope fields.  If you think one has been moved, please ask your instructor to check it immediately.
  • There is NO talking allowed during lab exams.
  • Do not discuss the contents of exams with students from other lab sections. This is considered cheating.
  • If you are caught doing any activity that the instructor believes is cheating or if another student reports that you are cheating, at a minimum you will receive a zero for that test, which will not be dropped from your total score, and an automatic letter grade decrease in your lab grade. In addition, this will be reported to the Dean of Student Life for further investigation.

 

NOTE: Instructors will walk around the lab room during practical lab exams and reserve the right to ask anyone to show his/her answer sheet and/or clipboard during the exam.
