Commitment
Anatomy and Physiology is a course that requires a strong commitment to excellence. To
successfully complete this intensive course you must commit to attend all lectures and
laboratory sessions as well as at least 20 hours per week of studying time. In addition to
reading and studying the text you should plan to spend several hours per week studying
laboratory materials (microscope slides, bones, muscles, etc.). Additional resources such
as computerized review programs, audiovisual materials and student tutors are available
during the open laboratory sessions.
Attendance
Students should attend every class session. If a student misses a class session, it is the
student's responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to reschedule laboratory experiments
and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. Students
may not reschedule or make-up exams. If a student must miss class due to prolonged
illness or other unexpected circumstances, the student should notify the instructor as soon
as possible to make special arrangements
Participation
Participation scores will be assigned by the instructor at the end of the quarter. Points will
be allotted based on a student’s participation in classroom discussions, lab exercises, and
overall effort put forth in the course.
Lectures
Due to the amount of information to be covered in the course, lectures cannot cover all
the relevant material. Students will be responsible for all the material in the chapters
covered. However, in order to help students determine what to focus on, objectives will
be handed out at the beginning of each unit.
Objectives
Course objectives will be handed out in lecture at the beginning of each unit. There are 5
units, one for each exam. The objectives are designed to give students goals for learning
outcomes from each unit, and to serve as a study guide for the exams.
Labs
Laboratory exercises must be completed in the laboratory. Students who miss a
laboratory exercise must schedule a make-up session with the instructor to get credit for
that exercise. Students who report data obtained from another student will receive the
grade of 0.0 for that exercise.
Lab exercises for the previous week will be collected each Monday (unless Monday is a
holiday, in which case they will be collected on Wednesday).
Quizzes
Quizzes may cover material presented in lab or lecture. There will be one quiz each
week, for a total of 11 quizzes, but only 10 will be counted (your lowest grade will be
dropped). Quizzes will usually be given during the first 10 minutes of labs and may not
be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence.
Exams
The exams will be composed of multiple-choice style questions, short answer, and short
essay questions. A new, unwrinkled Scantron form and a #2 pencil will be needed for
each exam. These are available at the campus bookstore or at the Munch Mart. The exam
will contain questions pertaining to all the objectives listed for the unit. It is assumed that
each student will do their own work. Cheating is unacceptable and will be referred to the
Vice President of Student Affairs for disciplinary action.
Exams will be given during the first hour of lecture on scheduled days, and the time left
after the exam will be used to introduce the next unit.
Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence. Students
with extraordinary circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as soon as
the situation occurs.
Chemical Sensitivities
Due to the increasing numbers of individuals developing chemical sensitivities and the
increasing awareness of such conditions, everyone who attends this class is asked to
refrain from wearing any fragrance or perfume. The greatest feasible efforts will also
be taken to ensure a fresh air environment free of not only the above mentioned
fragrances but also potentially harmful substances such as carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde, carpet odor, organic solvents, etc. Individuals who are unsure of the
importance of this policy should see the Associate Dean for additional information.
