ATTENDANCE/ TARDINESS/ EXAM POLICIES
Professional behavior is expected in the classroom. This means being on time, waiting
until break or after class to hold conversations, and turning off all cell phones and pagers. In all
classes you take, respectful behavior is expected toward your professors and fellow students. The
GBCN Honor Code applies to all classes you take and is enforced by the College.
Students are expected to attend all scheduled classroom and laboratory sessions. If you
encounter circumstances which make absence or tardiness unavoidable you should contact your
professor in advance if possible. Please try not to schedule appointments during class time.
Attendance will be taken daily and excessive unexcused absences will result in a 5% final grade
penalty. Unless extreme circumstances exist (such as personal or family illness), a student may
miss no more than three classes in lecture and two laboratory classes for the semester.
Documentation may be requested to excuse an absence.
Lecture quizzes will be given at the beginning of the class. Please allow extra driving
time for traffic problems and arrive early on these days. No quizzes will be given after the
allotted time. There are eleven quizzes scheduled, the lowest is dropped. If you miss a quiz, the
first missed quiz is your dropped grade; any other missed quizzes will be counted as a zero. The
10 quizzes add together to equal one lecture exam.
Students are expected to take exams on the scheduled day. If you are unavoidably absent
from the exam, you must contact your professor with the reason for the absence prior to the test
and documentation may be required. Late arrivals will not have extended time. Missed
laboratory exams will be written exams in lieu of a practical exam. The College of Nursing
applies a $10.00 make-up exam fee, which must be paid at the Bursar’s office, prior to taking the
exam. If the absence is excused, the make-up exam schedule is as follows:
Lecture or Lab Exam 1 or 2 - Friday, March 3, 10:00-11:30 AM
Lecture or Lab Exam 3 or 4 - April 28, 10:00-11:30
7
If inclement weather or other unanticipated events closes the school, any assignment or
test scheduled for that day will be rescheduled for the next scheduled class period. Please check
the Mercer web site for closings: www.mercer.edu.
I welcome and encouraged you to call me or e-mail me with any questions or concerns.
Feel free to drop by my office. If I am not there, check my course schedule posted on my office
window or check in the lab. I will use Mercer e-mail addresses to contact students or the entire
class, if needed.
Due to safety concerns, only currently registered students (or a prospective student on an
official college tour) may come to the classroom or lab. No exceptions can be made.
Students with documented learning disabilities must notify me prior to the first quiz or
exam so I can arrange for appropriate testing rooms and conditions. A form can be obtained from
Rich Stilley, 212 Sheffield Building. It is to be signed by each professor and returned to Mr.
Stilley.

LECTURE FINAL EXAM – Wed 5/3 8:30-10:00
The comprehensive final exam will cover human development and heredity, and a review
of previously covered material. Final exam time cannot be changed except in cases of
notified emergencies.
LAB NOTES:
You are expected to attend your assigned laboratory section.
Three lab exercises will be available for extra credit toward the laboratory grade:
Lab Ex 29:
Blood Vessel Structure and Function
Lab Ex 36:
Urinary System
Lab Ex 40:
Human Development
Students will work in small groups (max 4 people) and one copy of Reviewing Your Knowledge
and Using Your Knowledge will be submitted. Groups may choose ONE of the three to submit.
The lab extra credit is worth up to five (5) points, applied to the pool of lab points for each
student in the group. Due dates for each lab will be announced in class and no late labs will be
accepted.
There will be five (5) lab book check offs during the semester. They are unannounced and may
be over part or the entire exercise. All students begin with 5 points. If all assignments are
completed prior to lab, 5 points will be added to the pool of lab points. Each time a student is
unprepared for lab check off, one point will be deducted from the 5 points extra credit.
*** PLEASE NOTE: A minimum exam average of 70% is required for successful
completion of the laboratory component of the course. Extra credit points will not be
applied unless the student has a 70% or higher on lab exams. Extra credit points cannot be
used to boost the exam average to 70%.
