Teachning Methods:
Lecture:
Students are responsible for lecture preparation by reading the assigned
chapters prior to class.
Lectures will be in the form of PowerPoint format and reinforced by class
discussions.
Laboratory:
The lab will consist of one 2 hour and 50 minute period twice per week.
Practical application of lecture topics will be stressed and exercises will be
complimentary, but not necessarily congruent with lecture sessions.
All students should familiarize themselves with the planned lab prior to class.

Examination Rules and Procedures
 Punctuality!!! Students will arrive in the classroom at the scheduled lecture or final
examination date and time.
 Students will turn off all cell phones and other electronic devices
 Pens and or pencils are required to take the exam. These are the only materials
students will be allowed to have in their possessions.
 All books, notes, and other materials will be placed along the perimeter of the
classroom. Valuables such as purses may be placed under your chair.
 Students will not be allowed to leave the classroom until the examination is completed.
 When students complete the exam, please give the exam to the professor.
 Absentees from the examination will have to provide valid documentation of their
absence to take the makeup exam. In addition, before the exam begins, please send an
e-mail to whitney_deneen@mail.tulsacc.edu or call 417-894-9607 to inform me of your
absence from the exam.
 Remember academic dishonesty, including cheating on exams, will not be tolerated in
this course!
Late Assignments AND Make-up Work:
Only in extenuating circumstances, such as family crisis, illness, birth, etc., will makeup
examinations be provided. Advise your instructor in advance of an absence as a result of such
matters. Missed examinations cannot be made up unless justification for being
absent is provided before the examination is due. The student must email the
instructor by midnight on test day if arrangements need to be made for a makeup.
If a student is permitted to makeup a test, the test must be completed within one
week of the due date, or the student receives a zero on the examination. In
addition, any makeup examinations will not receive curve or extra credit points
and will be in a different format from the original exam! All makeup examinations
will be taken at the Math Lab Testing Center (Building 8). The hours of the testing
center are Mon-Thurs 9:00 am – 7:00 pm.

Homework assignments will not be accepted late for any reason and are due at the
beginning of class. At 10 minutes after class has started, homework assignments
will not be accepted, and students will be given a zero. Students will receive a zero
on homework assignments if they are absent the day they are due. Quizzes given
in class will not be made up due to an absence of any reason, and students will be
given a zero.
Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the
duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to the
course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to the
course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course
('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a
course after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future
semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a
balance due to TCC. 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:
You will communicate with your instructor and colleagues via TCC email.
Email: All TCC students receive a designated “MyTCC” email address (ex:
jane_doe@mail.tulsacc.edu). All communications to you about TCC and course
assignments will be sent to your MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email
to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course.
INCLEMENT WEATHER AND CLASS CANCELLATION POLICY
When severe winter weather hits, you may assume that TCC will be open unless it is
announced otherwise on television and radio stations. TCC does not automatically close
if Tulsa Public Schools close. If your instructor decides individually to cancel class
because of inclement weather or other unexpected reasons, your instructor will contact
you. It is important that your instructor have current contact information so you can be
notified if necessary. Notify the TCC Registrar’s office and your instructor if your contact
information changes throughout the semester. Please check Blackboard, e-mail or call
my phone to see if this Anatomy Class has been cancelled.
