Grade Distribution (20 of points total course grade)
•Midterm Practical Exam: 6%.
•Final Practical Exam: 8%.
•Lab Activity Worksheets and Quizzes, Affective Behavior: 6%
Laboratory Participation
•Participation/Lab reports will be worth ~ 2%of your grade. Students must be present in lab and
complete each exercise to get credit. Make-up labs will only be permitted with prior arrangement
or certified medical excuse.
•Affective behavior is determined by the students’ adherence to safety regulations, punctuality.
•Pre-Labs (if applicable) must be completed prior to lab each week. Pre-Lab questions are found
in this manual. Hand in your pre-lab assignment at the beginning of lab.

Quiz Average
•About 4 quizzes will be given. The average of these quiz grades will be used in the final grade
calculation. The quizzes will be comprehensive, and the questions will build on each other as the
course progresses. Make-up quizzes will only be permitted with prior arrangement or certified
medical excuse.
Clinical Case Discussions
•Students will be given a number of real urinalysis case studies. Students must examine and
interpret the reports. Case studies will be discussed in groups.
Practical Exams
•Mainly One / Two practical exams will be given during the semester. The first one will cover
urinalysis, and the final will be comprehensive for the entire course. Students will be expected to
demonstrate their knowledge of the material as well as satisfactorily perform 3 complete
urinalysis exams in 15 minutes.
Extra Credit
•There may be an opportunity for optional extra credit during the course. In this instance an
appropriate assignment will be given to replace the student’s lowest quiz grade.
