GRADES:
Final grades are determined based on the percent of 400 points earned
No extra credit projects will be granted beyond the test assignments.
Grades are assigned on the following basis:
A - 90% - 100%
D - 60% - 69%
B - 80% - 89%
F - below 60%
C - 70% - 79%

ATTENDANCE:
Students are expected to be present in lab in order to accomplish
the learning goals for the lab practical examinations. To effectively utilize lab
time, preparation is required on the part of the student. The student should have
read the assigned laboratory exercises and attached handouts to become
familiarized with details for lab practical’s BEFORE laboratory starts. (NOTE:
The above schedule is only tentative and each student is responsible for knowing
exact assignments and test arrangements.)
MAKE-UP POLICY: Students must take their lab practical with their lab section. If a
student is unable to attend that practical session, he/she MUST obtain his/her
instructor=s permission ASAP to take the practical the day of the final, no makeups with other sections.
CHEATING: Cheating of ANY kind WILL NOT be tolerated by this Department. Anyone
caught cheating will automatically receive an F for the semester (No withdraws
allowed for cheaters). Anyone who witnesses this inexcusable behavior and
does not report it is considered guilty of improper conduct.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
 Investigate the structure and functioning of the endocrine, cardiovascular,
lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems and relate
them to the laboratory experience
 Apply problem solving, analytical, and communication skills based on the
scientific method that will provide the foundation for lifelong learning and career
development by explaining the importance of each aspect in the maintenance of
homeostasis in the human body and investigating the counterpart of normal
function as leading to particular pathological problems.
 Make use of technology to organize, acquire, and convey information relevant to
the biological sciences.
