Health Science?/Studies? Not the program, the course
Hey guys.

I got an email in like, September, saying that I was enrolled in Biology 1A03 and I had to take this new "lab" preparation course. I enrolled it in (I believe it was on SOLAR). It was worth 0 units, of course.

It was similar to Science/Engineering 1A00, except only if you had taken Biology 1A03, I believe.

I sort of forgot about doing the ELM quiz I had to do until November/December...but I still did it because it was still open.

EDIT: I have Bio 1A03 NEXT semester, not this one that had just passed.

However, on my Grade Report, I have Math 1A03 <final grade> and this
1 HTH SCI 1BS0 00 F 0 BIO SAFETY TRAININ

Hahaha. Does this mean anything? I just realized it won't affect my GPA because it's worth 0 units, but can I just take it next semester, or what happens now?

I don't think it should penalize me because it's not like I HAD to take it until next semester anyway.

You can probably take it right now if it's still up on Elm, which it should be.

I did take it though, when I remembered it in November/early December. I got 16/16 within about 30 minutes of going on ELM, which is sad because I could have done that so long ago, it just totally slipped my mind.

The thing ends January 30th, 2010, which is why I'm annoyed - why say an exam is 3 hours, but then fail anyone who doesn't hand it in within 2?

Hmmm, That is weird... If you are completed it then you completed it. I would contact one of those people that have their e-mails in the syllabus part of the ELM site.

If its open until January then wouldn't it be part of winter term grades at the end of the year?

I had the same kind of course for anatomy (HTH SCI 1H06)... but ours was required for this semester, and it says on my grade report COM which I assume means completed

I would definately just email the prof and ask them about it, they would be able to see on ELM when you submitted it...

So in the announcements section it says that the deadline was October 13th, but then I checked out the Discussion. People that missed the deadline were asked to talk to the lab co-ordinator for Biology 1A03, which I haven't taken yet. I'll email them. Thanks.

Something like that happened to me. I took health sci 1BS0 in summer school. I made sure with the IA and she said I don't have to do it again. But on my grade report it appears and I got a F!! I also have my original one there as P (pass) Who do you contact about this stuff... seeing that F is depressing

Probably the people's e-mails that show up when you go to the Syllabus on ELM.
