TEACHING METHODS
Lecture/Laboratory: This course is divided into one three hour lecture and one three hour
laboratory per week.
The method of instruction will be primarily lecture, using assigned reading materials.
Lecture may be supplemented by videos, slides, and whatever else becomes necessary.
Laboratory exercises will be used to enhance and offer “hands-on” experience for much of
the material covered in class.
Refer to syllabus for tentative scheduling of assignments and exams.
Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any
class. Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade)
or to change from Credit to Audit. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for deadlines. Students who stop
participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have
financial aid consequences for the student.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Email: All TCC students receive a designated TCC Outlook address (ex: jane.doe@tulsacc.edu). All
communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your TCC Outlook email
address; and you must use TCC Outlook email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor
regarding this course.
Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency
situations arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This
information is also posted on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu).
GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS: General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates
gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher
education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives. TCC’s General Education goals
are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and Technological
Proficiency.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions,
beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free

TOBACCO FREE COLLEGE: Tulsa Community College is a Tobacco Free college in accordance with
the Governor’s Executive Order 2012-01 and Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1-1523 which
prohibits smoking or the use of any tobacco products in all public places, in any indoor workplace, and all
vehicles owned by the State of Oklahoma and all of its agencies and instrumentalities. This Order
includes property leased, rented, or owned by TCC including, but not limited to, all grounds, buildings,
facilities, and parking lots. Tulsa Community College’s policy includes a tobacco free environment on all
campus and off-campus locations conducting TCC credit or non-credit classes. The TCC Campus Police
is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Tobacco-Free Environment Policy. Violations of the
policy may be addressed through issuance of campus or state citations.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about
one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or
tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a
policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions
delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students
from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
 Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a
substitute assignment or test;
 Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
 Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively
withdraw the student from the class;
 Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that
disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a
request to the Dean of Student Services.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by
submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services.
Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
 Submitting another’s work as one’s own or allowing another to submit one’s work a though it
were his or hers;
 Several people completing an assignment and turning in multiple copies, all represented either
implicitly or explicitly as individual work;
 Failing to contribute an equal share in group assignments or projects while claiming equal credit
for the work;
 Using a textbook, notes, or technology tools during an examination without permission of the
instructor;
 Receiving or giving unauthorized help on assignments;
 Stealing a problem solution or assessment answers from a teacher or other student;
 Tampering with experimental data to obtain “desired” results, or creating results for
experiments not done;
 Creating results for observations or interviews that were not done;
 Obtaining an unfair advantage by gaining or providing access to examination materials prior to
the time authorized by the instructor;
 Tampering with or destroying the work of others;
 Submitting substantial portions of the same academic work for credit or honors more than once
without permission of the present instructor;
 Lying about these or other academic matters;
 Falsifying college records, forms or other documents;
 Accessing computer systems or files without authorization;
 Plagiarizing.
Code of Conduct:
The Student code of conduct can be found in the home pages for the college. It is
recommended that students become familiar with this statement.
#Classroom conduct that is not conducive to the learning environment will be dealt with on an
individual basis and may involve removal of students from the learning environment for the remainder
of the class period or semester. To be clear in what constitutes misconduct and unacceptable behaviors
in the classroom, a list has been complied. Note: The following list is not all inclusive.
 Repeatedly interrupting an instructor while he/she is lecturing or conversing with another
student without first raising one’s hand and waiting until called upon.
 Asking questions not pertinent to the topic of discussion.
 Causing classroom disruptions by
o walking out of the classroom abruptly or leaving the classroom multiple times
o repeatedly talking during lecture
o using an inappropriately raised voice
o tardiness
o distracting classmates
o using approved electronic media in a manner not relevant to the lecture/lab
 Displaying a lack of respect or courtesy to faculty or classmates through derogatory language,
threatening or offensive words or behavior, or unwanted invasion of personal space.
 Using a prohibited electronic device in the classroom.
 Working on material not related to this class.
 Refusing to follow directions from faculty.
 Intentional destruction of college property.
 Influencing or attempting to influence another person to violate these misconduct policies.
Course Drop or Withdrawal: A student who has been found responsible for academic
dishonesty in a course may not drop or withdraw from the course. If the student processes a drop
or withdrawal from the course, the action will be reversed and the appropriate grade will be
recorded on the student's transcript.
No Cell phones, Ipods, or other such devices are allowed to be out
on a test day. Having these out could result in a zero on the test
INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT: Each student is responsible for being aware of the information
contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and
semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC
website: www.tulsacc.edu
Every student must sign The Anatomy safety rules contract. Failure
to do so will mean that you can take the course.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUE

Total 225 points
100% -90% = A 89%-80% = B 79%-70% = C
69%-60% = D 59%-0% = F
The unit tests will be given during the first part of the lecture. Please remember that this is
a three hour period and you will not be released for the remainder of the day.
We cannot afford to lose 1/2 of the class lecture period due to testing. Those who leave
after a unit test will be counted absent for at least 1/2 of the period.
Lab Tests usually will start at 4:30 to 4:45 PM on the lab day. Everyone needs to start at
the same time. Points may be taken off if you come in late. You may get a zero if you are
over 15 minutes late.
On most lab quizzes most students will be given more than one chance to get answers
correct and if the answers are correct they will be given full credit on the quiz providing
that the written assignments for the lab are completed. This will not be true for the first
microscope quiz but will usually be true of all other group quizzes. If the written work for
that lab section is not completed, the student will receive the first grade for that quiz. Most
lab quizzes will be group quizzes.
MAKE-UP AND LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
Laboratory tests and quizzes usually cannot be made up.
Unit Tests may be made up if arrangements are made with the instructor prior to the
test. Only one week will be granted to make up unit tests. Usually make up tests will be
taken in the Laboratory room.
After grades are posted on Black Board, students will have 8 days to challenge a grade.
After that time the grade will stand as posted. Therefore you need to check your grades at
least once a week. During the last week student will have only until Friday at 4:00 PM to
challenge any grade. This is due to the fact that I have only a few days to post grades.
Once grades are posted and entered in TED they are considered final. The only exception to
this is typo errors that occur in TED itself. For this the student can have one extra week.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
The lecture period is three hours long. Sometimes I have students that like to leave for the
last hour or miss the first hour; those people will be counted absent for at least 1/2 of a
day. This is especially true on test days. You will need to come to class after we take a unit
test. We can not afford to miss 1/2 of a period. The likelihood of succeeding in this course
with out your attendance is minimal. Some of the material covered in the labs and lecture
may not be covered in the textbook. The student is still responsible for all material and
announcements made during the lecture period. Information missed must be obtained from
classmates, not the instructor. Excessive absences should result in administrative withdraw.
Sometimes I offer extra credit or bonus points, however; no extra credit will be counted for
students who have excessive absences and full credit, on extra credit, will only be given to
students with one or zero absences in lecture and laboratory classes combined. Grades can
be lowered because of lack of attendance.
NO copied or copied work from a machine will count for extra credit.
In other words you can not copy a blank lab book and fill it in.
LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES
Check with counselor.
PLAGIARISM POLICY
Plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the ideas, sentences, or words of another
writer are your own; it includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own,
copying the work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another
as a guide to ideas and expression that are then presented as your own. The student should
review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.
Plagiarism almost always results in an F grade on that material.
COMPUTER SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE
Access to computing resources is a privilege granted to all TCC faculty, staff, and students.
Use of TCC computing resources is limited to purposes related to the College’s mission of
education, research, and community service. Student use of technology is governed by the
Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student code of
Conduct Policy Handbook. These handbooks may be obtained by contacting any Student
Activities or Dean of Student Services office
NO FOOD OR DRINK IS TO BE TAKEN INTO THE LAB ROOM. Please answer cell phones out
side of the classroom. Remember it is you responsibility to clean up after yourself and grade
may be lowered in lab because of leaving dirty areas or improper use and storage of the
microscope.
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: Students with documented disabilities are provided
academic accommodations the disABLED Student Resource Center (918-595-7115) or
Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (918-595-7428/TDD- TTY 981-5957434). If any student is in need of academic accommodations from either office, it is the
student’s responsibility to advise the instructor so an appropriate referral can be made no
later than the first week of class. Students may also contact the disABLED Student Services
Offices directly at the telephone numbers listed. ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS WILL NOT
BE PROVIDED UNLESS APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED TO THE DISABLED
STUDENT SERVICES OFFICES TO SUPPORT THE NEED.
LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES: The Science/Math Lab is located in Room 8150. It is an excellent place
to study. Tutors are available to answer questions or direct you to study aids, but are not expected to
cover entire sections of material. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this free facility. No
appointment is necessary, but you must sign-in and sign-out using the computers located at the
entrances as well as following all Science/Math lab rules. Tutoring hours for specific courses are listed
on a white board behind the work study desk.
