The testing window for Living Earth, APES, and AP Biology is the last study group of the month, during the scheduled time or before by arrangement. Tests are designed to take about 1 to 2 hours, but may take you longer. Please take the test as scheduled unless you have an important reason for not doing so.
Test corrections can be done the first week after the test is returned ONLY. Test corrections are worth 1/2 credit for each corrected response. For credit, each correction must include a rationale for receiving credit that includes why the correct answer is correct. At least one or two sentences each. A test correction with an answer such as: "A", or "D" or whatever letter choice without a rationale, or: "I got it wrong because I guessed" or "I didn't understand the question" receives no credit. Please explain the correction and WHY it is correct. Make sure to use the key to correct your test.
Please contact me 3 days prior to the testing date if other arrangements need to be made. This gives me sufficient time to set up an alternate test. Parents are welcome to contact me to set up an alternate testing arrangement. Late testing after the last study group of the month until turn-in Friday will be penalized 10% of the earned mark. Late testing after turn-in Friday for the month will be penalized 20%.
All science courses include a mandatory lab component. Labs must be completed on the day they are scheduled. In person labs CANNOT be made up. Students who must miss a lab can complete an alternate paper or online lab. Work must be turned in by the DUE DATE. Labs and other work may be due earlier than the last day of the month. It is your responsibility to know what the DUE DATE! All dates are is clearly posted in Canvas and on the coversheets.
Late work may be penalized up to 20% for work over 2 months late. Please contact me at least 3 days ahead of time if alternate arrangements need to be made.
