Class Conduct
 Refer to the Student Code of Conduct for additional requirements relating to student
behavior.
 Because of insurance limitations, non-registered visitors are not allowed at class
sessions or on field trips.
 Possession of drugs, alcohol or firearms on college property is illegal.
 Eating, drinking, smoking and soliciting are not allowed in classrooms.
 Pets, telephones, pagers and other electronic devices that distract students are not
allowed in classrooms.
 Students creating disturbances that interfere with the conduct of the class or the
learning of others, violations of the Student Code of Conduct, will be referred to the
Academic Dean or VP of Student Development.
 Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and can be cause for being dropped from the
class. Disruptive behavior is defined as behavior that is disruptive to the learning
process and outside normal behavior parameters. See the Student Code of Conduct for
particulars, but examples of disruptive behavior are inappropriate talking, arriving late
or leaving early, sleeping or doing other class work in class, etc.
Class Preparation and Policies





Students are required to spend a minimum of two to three hours per week working
outside the classroom for each hour of classroom instruction.
It is important that you review the class material before it is covered in class so that
you will be prepared to ask questions.
You are expected to respect your classmates by listening to their questions and
comments.
You are encouraged to contribute in class activities, discussions, and laboratory
activities.
You are responsible to get help from the instructor and/or campus tutoring service
when help is needed. Waiting until the last minute does not provide you, the instructor,
or the tutor with sufficient time to ensure that concepts are clear and well understood.
MyPima
 The use of the MyPima portal, for every student enrolled in this course, is specifically
limited to the functions that are related to the course content and appropriate
communications prescribed by the instructor. Inappropriate uses of MyPima may be
subject to the PCC Student Code of Conduct.
 In this course, the instructor will employ email and/or other MyPima course tools as a
means of communication or for accepting course work.
 In this course, the instructor will respond to student email via MyPima within 1 day
after receipt.
Class Attendance

Attendance is essential to student success in this course. Illness and family or personal
emergency are the only acceptable excuses for not attending class.
 Students are expected to arrive on time and not leave early.
A. Fellah, Ph.D.
5

Lab assignments will be discussed in classes that are likely to appear on the exams. There
may be lab activities for which points will be given that will be done during lab time.
 Should you miss a class when a lab report is due, you will be allowed to turn in it for a
lower grade, 50% is deducted for any assignment turned in the next class date. No
assignment can be turned in for credit after that time.
Academic Integrity

Violations of scholastic ethics are considered serious offenses by Pima Community
College and by your instructor. Students may consult the PCC Student Handbook sections
on student code of conduct, on scholastic ethics and on the grade appeal procedure.
Copies are available at PCC campus libraries and at
http://www.pima.edu/~coadmissions/studresp.htm.

All work done for this class must be your own. While you may discuss assignments with
other class members, the final written project must clearly be your own. You may use
work from books and other materials if it is properly cited. Copying from a book without
proper reference or from a person under any circumstances will result in an F for the
assignment, and at the instructor's discretion, possibly an F for the course.
Assessment
In order to determine whether this course is meeting its above-stated objectives, a variety
of classroom assessment techniques will be used. The purpose of these assessment
instruments is to assist your instructor in improving this course. Because this course
fulfills a general education requirement, you will be assessed on your ability to
communicate both orally and in writing, think critically and demonstrate global
awareness.
Lecture Exams
 Lecture exams will be closed-book and will cover material presented in lecture as well as





reading assignments specified in the class notes or by the instructor. Lecture exams will
only cover material since the last lecture exam.
There will be five mid-term lecture examinations and a final exam valued at 100 points
each. There are no makeup exams.
The final is optional; however, if you miss an exam, you must take the final.
You also have the opportunity to take the final to replace your lowest exam score.
Exams will consist of multiple choice, short essays, true/false, and match questions.
Exams will be given at the beginning of the class. You will be notified of any changes
that might occur.
Lab Practical Quizzes
You will have four lab practical quizzes throughout the semester, each worth 50 points.
They are covering lists of anatomy to be identified on models, posters and figures from
the textbook. These will focus on anatomy and are to be given in class only on the
scheduled date, during class time. There are no makeup quizzes.
A. Fellah, Ph.D.

Lab Assignments
Lab assignments will be based upon laboratory Manual and material studied, i.e. lab
exercises, review sheets, microscope slides, dissection material and lecture. There are no
make-up assignments. Lab assignments will only be accepted if the student is present
and participated in the entire laboratory. Late assignments will be subjected to
deduction as stated above (see class attendance).
Oral Presentation/Written Paper
You are required to give a 5-10 minutes presentation on a topic of your choice that is
related to biology/human physiology. Topic of interest to you should be submitted by
November 28, 2011. It is recommended to submit your topic as soon as possible, as your
classmates might already choose the same topic. A written paper on the same topic
should be submitted on the day of the presentation. The paper should follow the APA
guidelines and should be typed, double-spaced on standard-six paper using 10-12 pt. It
should include four major segments: the title page, abstract, main body, and
acknowledgement and references such as journal articles, books, or web pages. The oral
presentation and the paper will be worth 50 points each. You will be assessed on the
information you present as well as your presentation skills and visual aids. The oral
presentation is meant to help you gaining the skills as well as provide the class with
interesting information.
Web-enhanced Course
I use the web to aid with this course. I will post lecture outlines, labs and review
questions on my home page (http://ecc.pima.edu/~afellah), via the Bio202 link from my
main page. You have the option of downloading the PowerPoint lecture outlines before
each lecture as well. If you are unfamiliar with web-use, or are unsure of how to access
this information, please see me and we will work together!
Grading Procedures and Policy
Grades are determined as the percentage of points mount up during the semester. Your
final grade will be calculated as follows:

Student Withdrawal "W" Grade
Students may withdraw from class without instructor permission and without incurring any
grade penalty until November 9, 2011. Students who fail to withdraw themselves by the
withdrawal deadline and quit attending class, remain on the active class roster and may
receive a grade of “F”.
A. Fellah, Ph.D.

Incomplete "I" Grade
You may request a grade of "I" only if all of the following conditions are met: you have
earned at least 70% of the available points at the time of your request; your request is made
in writing to the instructor and is received by the instructor on or before December 7, 2011,
and the instructor gives permission to do so.
Instructor Withdrawal after the College Withdrawal Deadline “W” Grades
You may request a grade of "W" after the official College withdrawal date only if all of the
following conditions are met: extenuating circumstances made it impossible for you to finish
the course, your request is made in writing to the instructor and is received by the instructor
on or before December 7, 2011, and the instructor gives permission to do so.
“AU” Audit Grades

Auditing a class means to enroll in and attend without working for or receiving credit.
Students auditing a class must register by the end of the official refund period and must
receive written permission to audit from the instructor, who is not required to grade
assignments submitted by students who are auditing the class.
Final Grades
For privacy and security reasons, instructors are advised NOT to give grades over the
telephone or via email unless the student signs the exception box on the acknowldegment
page of this syllabus. Students who wish to check grades may access grades online using
Banner Online at http://bannerweb.pima.edu
Cell Phones and Pagers
Out of courtesy for your instructor and your fellow students, I expect you to turn off all
cell phones and pagers before class begins. This means off, not on silent or vibrate, and
no “texting” is permitted.
Caveats




Your instructor will make every attempt to follow the procedures and schedules, but they
may be changed in the event of extenuating circumstances.
Students submitting assignments through the mail are advised to make copies for their
own protection.
If you move during the semester, please file a change of address form at any PCC campus
registration office.
We expect students to diligently apply themselves to learning the basic Anatomy &
Physiology concepts presented in this course. We promise to serve you as facilitators and
mentors, but you must do the learning. Study the material with determination, faithfully
work on the assignments, and try to understand the principles presented. We can help
you over the hard parts, but you must do the work.
