Attendance:
Attendance will be kept and more than two absences will result in oneletter grade reduction at the end of the semester. Four absences will result in a
two- letter grade reduction and six absences will result in a three letter grade
reduction. No exceptions and no excuses. Three tardies will be considered one
absence. More than 10 minutes late is considered tardy. There will be no extra
credit given. Leaving class early will be counted as tardy for that day, so don’t
make any appointments or plans that fall during class time.
Makeup Tests:
Two make up tests only will be allowed for this class. The make-up test must be
taken within one week of the original test, or will not be allowed and a grade
of “0" will be given. Make-up examinations (mid-term/final) will not be given
unless a physician’s note is provided stating that the student is physically unable to
attend class at the time of the examination.
Workbook Exercises: Workbook exercises are essential to the students’ understanding of this class.
The exercises will not be graded nor reviewed in class, but if there are real
problems with some questions, please bring to class and we will discuss the
subject. The labeling on your tests is taken directly from your workbook. Chances
are that if you have a problem, so are several others.
Vocabulary Exercises: Each week the student will be given a list of vocabulary words and diseases which
must be defined and turned in at the beginning of the next class, before we take
the weekly test. Each exercise is worth 10 points. This will help prepare the
student for the test on the material covered in class. No late work will be accepted.
The purpose of these exercises is to help prepare you for the test over that
particular chapter.
Semester Assignments: Due to the large amount of material contained in this book, there are four
chapters that will not be covered. You will be required to do Chapter 21
and you will need to choose one of the other three remaining chapters to:
•
•
ϖ
read Chapter:
ϖ
answer all the review questions at the back of the chapter (worth
175 points)
• ϖ
do one of the “Further Thought” problems (worth 25 points)
• ϖ
do the workbook exercises. (worth 50 points)
• ϖ
turn in a report folder
• ϖ
The chapters not covered in class are Chapters 17, 19, 21 and 22.
These need to be submitted in typewritten form, in a folder, with your workbook
pages. Do not submit handwritten papers! (Plan ahead)
See Syllabus for Due dates.
WEB-CT:
This is a “Web-enhanced” class. Instructions for using the web to pick up study
guides, assignments and lecture notes will be given in class.
Standard of Behavior: All work by the student will be the original work of that student. This includes
WebCT tests, semester assignments, and vocabulary lists. Cheating and dishonesty are unacceptable
behaviors and will not be tolerated. Plagiarism (representing as one’s own the idea and/or thoughts of
another author) is dishonest and will result in a negative grade change. If you and your friend submit
identical papers, you and your friend will receive a zero (0) for that assignment.
Cell phones must be put away and turned off. The use of a cell phone during a test will be
considered cheating and the student will receive a zero for that test. Cell phones must be turned off
during the entire class. If a student is observed using a cell phone during class, including texting, the cell
phone will be put into a basket for the duration of the class period. Disruptive behavior of any kind is not
tolerated including disruptive behavior due to drug or alcohol abuse that will result in the student being
escorted from class by the campus police.
Syllabus Changes:
The instructor reserves the right to make additions, deletions, corrections, or
alterations to this syllabus. Students will be advised (either verbally, or in writing)
