WHAT TO DO IF YOU MUST BE ABSENT
Procedure for Absences in MCB 250
Absence from Class: We know that students become ill and that family emergencies arise. In
order to accommodate absences due to illness or emergency, we allow that
a specified number of assignments or exams may be dropped without
penalty. These missed assignments and/or discussion can be dropped
according to the criteria set forth in the Course Grading for this
course. If you are absent from
discussion or an exam, you must notify Nick Kirchner via email
(kirchner@illinois.edu) within 24 hours of your missed discussion
in order to arrange a make-up discussion, make-up work, or take a
conflict exam if possible. You must also provide documentation for your absence to Nick within 48 hours of the absence. Please note that missing assignments/exams will
result in missing scores that may or may not be prorated at the end of the semester depending on the above criteria being met.
If you are unable, the instructor will recommend that you drop or
withdraw from the course.
Extended Absence from Class: If you experience an illness (chronic, recurring or lasting three days
or more) or other circumstance that causes an extended absence from
class (lasting three days or more), please contact the Office of the
Dean of Students. The office of the Dean of Students is located in the
Turner Student Services Building, 610 E. John Street, Champaign,
333-0050. It is the student's responsibility to provide their course
coordinator and/or instructor with all of the documentation received
from the Dean's office. In addition to submitting your documentation
(electroinc email copy is fine), please fill out an online MCB 250 Absence Report Form for your course which can be found on the course web
site.
Absence from an Exam: If you experience an illness that causes you to miss an exam, you should: notify the Course Coordinator within 24 hours of the absence via email (kirchner@illinois.edu), provide documentation for your absence within 48 hours of the absence to the Course Coordinator, and
fill out an online MCB 250 Absence Report Form for your course which can be found on the course web site.

taking your final exam at the appointed time, you should: notify the Course Coordinator within 24 hours of the absence via email (kirchner@illinois.edu), provide documentation for your absence within 48 hours of the absence to the Course Coordinator, and
fill out an online MCB 250 Absence Report Form for your course which can be found on the course web site.
Exam Proration
If you must miss an MCB 250 hourly exam, the possibility exists to have one exam prorated with proper documentation. You must contact Nick Kirchner via email within 24 hours of the absence. If you do not provide documentation to Nick Kirchner in a timely manner and upon receipt, there may be a negative impact on your ability to receive a prorated score. For more information on acceptable documentation please see the Course Policies Document at the top of the page. NOTE: The final exam cannot be prorated. Your prorated score will be calculated based on the following formula:
| {Exam A} |
{Exam B} |
{Exam C} |
| (%tile)(150) + (%tile)(150)+ (%tile)(150) |
= (%tile)= ____ points for Exam_____ |
|
(150 + 150 + 150) |
|
Please note that the percentile that we use to calculate your score may be different from the percentile seen in the online gradebook, due to the accounting for missing scores. You must complete at least two exams and the final in this course in order to earn a letter grade in the course. If you are unable to do so, the instructor will recommend that you drop or withdraw from the course.
Prior to the last day of class, please email Nick Kirchner (kirchner@illinois.edu) and you will be given a preliminary proration of your missing score. This proration is only to give you an idea of what your missing score *would be* based on the other scores that we have for you at that time. Your actual proration will be done with the final exam grade included. Please understand that this preliminary proration score may increase OR decrease depending on your performance on the last exam. The actual proration score will be the score used to determine you final grade.

STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Science cannot exist without honesty. The faculty and staff of MCB 250 require students to hold the highest standards of
scientific and academic conduct. Any form of cheating on any graded work in this course is unacceptable, and will be dealt with as outlined below, and in
accordance with the University-wide standards in the Code of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students.
We require that all graded work be entirely your own, and that anything you write using the words of other writers be correctly attributed. Some
specific points follow:
Exams
On all exams, the answers that you turn in for grading must be your own, formulated during the exam from your own understanding of the material
and without any supporting information, be it written, verbal or electronic. Copying the work of another student, or allowing another to copy your work,
or copying work from any other source, is unacceptable. We cannot always monitor you as you complete your work; thus, we must rely upon appearance of your
work from which to judge. If the work you submit resembles that of another student or another source too closely, we may conclude that it is not your
original work. Always make a conscious effort to complete your work on your own and to protect it from the view of others, in order to ensure that it will
be seen as your own. Instructors in this course reserve the right to move students during the course of the exam if the appearance of a breach of
academic integrity is noted.
Failure to adhere to these standards, for any portion of an exam, may result in a grade of zero for the entire exam, for all persons involved.
Use of any social or electronic media to share information, request information, or make confidential information public is prohibited. Any use of this
type may earn you a zero on the exam or a more extreme penalty at the discretion of the instructor.
Assignments
On assignments, the responses that you turn in to be graded must be written in your own words, formulated from your own understanding of the material.
Copying or paraphrasing the work of another student, or allowing another to copy or paraphrase your work, is unacceptable. Since we cannot monitor you as you
complete your work, we have only the appearance of your work from which to judge. If the work you submit resembles that of another student too closely,
we may conclude that it is not your original work. Always make a conscious effort to complete your work on your own and to protect it from the view of others,
in order to ensure that it will be seen as your own. Failure to adhere to these standards may result in a grade of zero for the entire assignment,
for all persons involved
Use of any social or electronic media to share information, request information, or make confidential information public is prohibited. Any use of this
type may earn you a zero on the assignment or a more extreme penalty at the discretion of the instructor.
General Emergency Response Recommendations (Emergency Response Guide)
Security Threat. The Department of Homeland Security and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Office of Campus Emergency Planning recommend the following
three responses to any emergency on campus: RUN > HIDE > FIGHT
Only follow these actions if safe to do so. When in doubt, follow your instincts - you are your best advocate!
RUN — Action taken to leave an area for personal safety.
- Take the time to learn the different ways to leave your building Before there is an emergency.
- Evacuations are mandatory for fire alarms and when directed by authorities! No exceptions!
- Evacuate immediately. Pull manual fire alarm to prompt a response for others to evacuate.
- Take critical personal items only (keys, purse, and outerwear) and close doors behind you.

- Do not re-enter building until informed by emergency response personnel that it is safe to return.
Active Threat:If it is safe to do so, run out of the building. Get as far away as possible. Do NOT go to the Evacuation Assembly Area.
HIDE— Action taken to seek immediate shelter indoors when emergency conditions do not warrant or allow evacuation.
- Severe Weather
- If you are outside, proceed to the nearest protective building.
- If sheltering-in-place due to severe weather, proceed to the identified Storm Refuge Area or to the lowest, most
interior area of the building away from windows or hazardous equipment or materials.
- ACTIVE THREAT:
- Lock or barricade your area.
- Get to a place where the threat cannot see you.
- Place cell phones on silent.
- Do not make any noise.
- Do not come out until you receive an Illini-Alert advising you it is safe.
FIGHT — Action taken as a last resort to increase your odds of survival.
