NOTES:
Experiment Summary Sheets
- Experiment Summary Sheets are required for most of the experiments that are performed in this course. Do not leave the lab until you are sure that you have collected and recorded all of the required information. Experiment Summary Sheets due the following week must be handed in at the beginning of the lab period. Summary sheets that are submitted late will be assessed a late penalty of 20 percent per day late.
- You may submit data sheets ONLY for those lab sessions that you have attended. If you miss a lab session without PRIOR permission from your teaching assistant and a valid medical note, you will receive a mark of zero for the section of the data sheets concerned. Because of limitations in time, personnel and resources, make up labs will not be allowed. Legitimate excuses for not being able to attend or participate in a laboratory session should be discussed with the teaching assistant or instructor IN ADVANCE. Messages can be left at the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology Office (K9625) by phoning 778-782-3573 between 8:30am and 4:30 pm Monday to Friday.
- You must attend the laboratory session for which you are registered. If, due to unavoidable circumstances during one week, you are unable to attend your regular laboratory session, you must obtain prior permission from the teaching assistant before attending a different laboratory session.
Pre-Lab Quizzes
- At exactly 30 minutes past the hour at the beginning of the lab a quick five question quiz will be held. This will focus on the material read in advance of the current lab as indicated in the lab schedule reading list. If you are late for the lab you will have missed the quiz.

GENERAL LABORATORY INSTRUCTIONS
- All students are expected to be in the laboratory on time and ready to work. The doors to the lab will be opened at 20 minutes past the hour.
- At the beginning of each laboratory session, a short pre-lab quiz will be held and then the operation of new and unfamiliar equipment will be demonstrated.
- Unless advised to the contrary, students should normally come to the laboratory dressed in gym strip i.e. T-shirts, shorts and running shoes. For certain experiments, subjects will be chosen one week in advance so that they can come to the laboratory properly prepared.
- Handle the equipment carefully. However, if you do damage something, please inform the laboratory personnel so that it can be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
- Clean up after yourself. All equipment should be returned to the exact place from which it was gathered in a clean, neat, and usable condition. DO NOT REMOVE EQUIPMENT OR TEXTBOOKS FROM THE LABORATORY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
- Because of limitations in time, personnel and resources, make-up labs will not be allowed. Legitimate excuses for not being able to attend or participate in a laboratory session should be discussed with the teaching assistant or instructor IN ADVANCE. Messages can be left at the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology Office (K9625) by phoning 778-782-3573 between 8:30am and 4:00 pm Monday to Friday.
- You must attend the laboratory session for which you are registered. If, due to unavoidable circumstances during one week, you are unable to attend your regular laboratory session, you must obtain prior permission from the teaching assistant before attending a different laboratory session.

GRADING POLICY
Grading will be conducted in line with BPK grading policy (LINK). There will be no extensions granted for any evaluations except with a medical condition that is beyond your control. Additional work will not be considered in lieu of grading criteria as outlined.
ACADEMIC HONESTY AND STUDENT CONDUCT
Academic honesty is a condition of continued membership in the University community. Academic dishonesty, including plagiarism or any other form of cheating is subject to serious academic penalty. The University codes of student conduct and academic honesty are contained in policies T10.01 and T10.02 which are available in the Course Timetable and on the Web. A library tutorial on understanding and avoiding plagiarism is available.
MISSED EXAM POLICY
Students who miss examinations due to exceptional circumstances (such as serious illness or compassionate reasons) are required to obtain a physician's certificate (and/or a completed SFU Health Care Provider form), whereby the physician states that you were unable to attend the examination on the set date due to a medical condition beyond your control, or other supporting documents in order to obtain consideration in the course. Medical notes should state the limitations caused by your illness and their anticipated duration. Such documents must be filed with the Department Chair (via the Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology office) or Registrar within four calendar days of the date on which the examination was to have been written. Please see the procedure and expectations for work missed due to illness HERE. Exceptional circumstances must be approved by the Undergraduate Program Committee in order for a student to receive consideration. Students must check the examination schedule when making course selections. Students are reminded that final examinations may be scheduled at any time during the examination period and that students should avoid making travel or employment arrangements for this period. In the event of a missed midterm or final examination the instructor reserves the right to implement alternative forms of assessment.
STUDENT RESOURCES
Help is available! If you are experiencing physical or mental health concerns, severe exam stress, or would like assistance with your studies from the Centre for Students with Disabilities, please contact the agencies linked below.

The Instructor or the Department reserves the right to curve the grades at the end of the term
It is the responsibility of the student to keep their BPK course outlines if they plan on furthering their education.
Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
