    The syllabus tells me that each week I should expect I have a new course topic relevant to what I’m learning. Something that surprises me is that your labs in bio 1101 are 50% of your grade.

      its important to know this so we can be prepared to class.

      Actually, its not always 50%, sometimes it’s 60% for Lab and 40% for Lecture or sometimes the other way round. Also keep in mind that you will not receive a passing grade if you did not do well in one of them. You cannot pass the course with just doing well in lecture or vice or versa.

      The information for grades is very important so that you can refer back to know where you stand in grading. You can estimate your final grade.
