The above numbers are point cut offs for each letter grade. There will be no
“rounding up” to the next grade no mater how close you are. Your grade is based
on how much anatomical information you learn. There will be no extra credit
assignments offered.
Lecture Exams: Lecture exams will cover only the material presented since the last
exam. Lecture exams can not be made-up unless under extraordinary, documented
circumstances. Lecture exams may be composed of a combination of multiple choice,
true/false, matching, short answer and essay questions.
You will need a scantron sheet for lecture exams. Please purchase 6 of the small
green forms at the bookstore.
Final Exam: The final exam will be 150 points of material from the entire course. The
format will be similar to the lecture exams.
Lab Exams: Lab exams will be given in a round robin format where the students rotate
between 20-25 timed stations with ~3 questions at each station. Lab exam questions will
address the identification of a labeled structure and be short answer. Due to the time
involved in setting up a lab exam there will be no lab exam make-ups.
Quizzes: Quizzes are worth 10 points each and will be given every day there is not a
lecture or lab exam. They will address information from the previous lab or lecture
meeting. These quizzes may be of any format including multiple choice, short answer,
true/false, or essay. Some may be group discussion questions.
Clean up: Points will be subtracted from your total if you routinely leave your lab area
messy.
Attendance/ Late Policy:
I do not take role on a daily basis so there is no official attendance policy. There will be
certain assignments however that can not be made up (lab exams, discussion quizzes).
Also, your grade on exams will be negatively affected by missing lecture material.
Please make every effort to come to class daily.
Exams and quizzes will be given at the beginning of every class. If you are late and miss
a lab quiz you will not be able to make it up. If you are late beginning a lecture exam you
will be given until the amount of time allotted to the rest of the class has elapsed (55
minutes from the start of class). Being late to a lab exam will result in you receiving a
zero for some of the stations.
Additional Business:
You are expected to follow the honor pledge on every assignment:
“On my honor as a University of South Carolina at Aiken student, I have neither given nor received any
unauthorized aid on the assignment/examination. To the best of my knowledge, I am not in violation of
academic dishonesty.”
It is the instructor’s right to remove from the classroom any student who disrupts or disturbs the proceeding
of the class. Disruption of the class includes but is not limited to the use of any portable electronic devices,
including cell phones, MP3 players; iPods, etc. unless prior approval has been given to a student or unless
required for the course. In extreme cases the faculty member can request assistance from University
Police. If the student who has been ejected causes similar disturbances in subsequent meetings of the class,
he/she may be denied admittance to the class for the remainder of the semester and assigned a grade of F.
If you have a physical, psychological and/or learning disability which might affect your performance in this
course please contact the Office of Disability Services, 126A B&E, (803)641-3609 as soon as possible.

To excel in this class you will have to spend time outside of the scheduled time
period to study lab content. The lab is open to you 24/7 so please use it. You can get
in by using your ID cards in the card-swipe on the outside door and SBDG 104 door.
Students that spend time in lab studying as a group do much better then those that
study alone. I encourage you to set up study groups.
A note about anatomy…….
Anatomy is not an easy subject and you may find it to be the most challenging subject
you have ever encountered. There is a minimum amount of knowledge you are expected
by your college (nursing, pre-pharmacy and exercise science) to obtain in this course. I
am obligated to provide you with this material and to test you on it. I have done my best
to pare down the content as much as possible while staying within the expectations of
your college but you will still find the amount of material challenging. You must put
forth effort to study the material on a regular basis to be successful in this course. I
highly recommend that you set up study groups to go over the material before exams. Try
very hard not to miss any classes. Take careful notes of what I say in class. If you find it
difficult to keep up with my lectures please use a tape recorder to record them. If you
have trouble understanding a concept, please come to see me as soon as possible. I can
also help you with study and note taking tips if needed.
