**COMMITMENT**
Anatomy and Physiology is a course that requires a strong commitment to excellence. To
successfully complete this intensive course you must commit to attend all lectures and laboratory
sessions as well as at least 25 hours per week of studying time. In addition to reading and
studying the text you should plan to spend several hours per week studying laboratory materials
(microscope slides, bones, muscles, etc.). Additional resources such as computerized review
programs, audiovisual materials and student tutors are available during the open laboratory
sessions.
**ATTENDANCE**
Students should attend every class session. This is critical, as class meets only twice a week. If
a student misses a class session, it is the student's responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to
keep up with the laboratory material, and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials
distributed in class. If a student misses more than three classes, they should consider
dropping the course. Students may not reschedule or make-up exams. If a student must miss
class due to prolonged illness or other unexpected circumstances, the student should notify the
instructor as soon as possible to make special arrangements
LABORATORY
Laboratory exercises must be completed in the laboratory. Students are responsible for lab
material—questions regarding lab material will appear on the practicum portion of the exams
(see below) and on quizzes.
EXAMINATIONS
The exams will be composed of multiple-choice style questions, short answers, and a practicum
portion. Short answer questions will be drawn from a set of review questions handed out the
previous week. The practicum portion of the exam will involve identification anatomical
features and structures, and will take place in the lab immediately following completion of the
written portion of the exam. The exam will contain questions pertaining to all the objectives
listed for the unit.
It is assumed that each student will do his or her own work. Cheating is unacceptable and will be
referred to the Vice President of Student Affairs for disciplinary action.
Examinations may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence. Students with
extraordinary circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as soon as the situation
occurs.
QUIZZES
Quizzes are associated with labs, and will be each Saturday unless there is a lecture exam
scheduled for that day. Quizzes will cover material presented in lab or lecture. Quizzes will be
given during the first 15 minutes of lab and may not be rescheduled or made-up due to
tardiness or absence.
CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES
Due to the increasing numbers of individuals developing chemical sensitivities and the increasing
awareness of such conditions, everyone who attends this class is asked to refrain from
wearing any fragrance or perfume. The greatest feasible efforts will also be taken to ensure a
fresh air environment free of not only the above mentioned fragrances but also potentially
harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, carpet odor, organic solvents, etc.
Individuals who are unsure of the importance of this policy should see the Associate Dean for
additional information.
