No points are awarded nor deducted for results on the practice test and you may take it repeatedly.
LABORATORY EXAMS: You must attend traditional on-campus laboratories each week. The labs will follow the laboratory objectives. There are 2 lab exams for the face to face labs, each with 25 questions, and worth 50 points. The in-class lab exams will consist of short answer and identification questions with one minute per station.
Due to the increased need to provide online exams, you will have an option of doing the lab exams online on Canvas instead of in class, if desired/needed.

The online tests have 25 questions at 2 points each, 25 minutes. You may not do BOTH the online test and the in-person test. There is a practice online lab test on Canvas if you wish to check it out.
Both the online and in-person lab exams will only test on material from the laboratory objectives.
