GENERAL POLICIES AND REMINDERS
COMMITMENT
Anatomy and Physiology is a course that requires a strong commitment in order to succeed. This is not
an easy course, the subject matter is challenging and learning the terminology can feel like learning a
foreign language. To successfully complete this intensive course you must commit to attend all lectures
and laboratory sessions as well as at least 15 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 (slides,
models, online resources, tutor hours, etc). Additional access to laboratory course materials and student
tutors are available during the open laboratory/tutor sessions.
RESOURCES ON THE WEBSITE
On the website, you will find powerpoint lecture slides, Exam Objectives, Lab Handouts and links to
various online resources (animations, histology images, gross anatomy tutorials, etc). You should read the
corresponding sections in your text book before each class. Access to powerpoint slides may not be
available prior to the class period.
ATTENDANCE and LABORATORY WORK
Students should attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to figure
out what was missed. You are expected to be in class each day. I may take roll at random, and
attendance at lab is required. Poor attendance will negatively affect participation points. If you must
miss class due to prolonged illness or other unexpected circumstances, you should notify the instructor
as soon as possible to discuss options.
Laboratory work is a central piece of BIOL 242, and we will dedicate a lot of time to lab work in many
forms. Lab work in this course includes, but is not limited to: microscope work, histology and sketching,
3
studying gross anatomy, dissection of fresh or preserved specimens, experiments, and virtual, computerbased labs. Many laboratory exercises MUST be completed in the laboratory and cannot be made up if
missed. Some lab work, however, can be done “virtually”, using online resources, and this is encouraged in
some instances. Some histology and sketching may be done virtually. You may also sketch from sources
you find on the www, but make sure you are using a reliable source. IF YOU SKETCH FROM THE WEB
YOU MUST CITE YOUR SOURCE(S). More info on this topic will be given in class. PLEASE NOTE,
again, that it is NOT POSSIBLE to make-up a missed lab.
If you miss lab, you will be allowed to contact classmates for information, complete the post-lab and
hand it in. However, 25% of EARNED points will be deducted for the missed experience.
LECTURES
Due to the amount of information covered in the course, lectures will not cover all of the relevant
material. As such, students will be responsible for all the material in the chapters covered (with
greatest emphasis placed on that material which is ALSO covered in lecture slides) unless
otherwise noted. In order to help students determine what to focus on, EXAM OBJECTIVES for each
exam will be available on the course website.
Assigned chapters should be read BEFORE coming to lecture. Most lecture time will be spent on
covering concepts, NOT terminology, so it will benefit the student to learn the chapter vocabulary (bold
face terms in the text) before coming to lecture. Pop quizzes may be given at any time over the
vocabulary found in the current chapter.
EXAM OBJECTIVES
We will have four units during the quarter with an exam at the end of each unit. The objectives for each
unit are designed to give students a general list of learning outcomes for the unit, and to serve as a
study guide for the exams and quizzes. They cover most of the things you need to know; however, they
are not exhaustive. Due to the cumulative nature of the final exam, there will be some review
information from previous units on each exam. This information will not be included on the study guide.
LABS- WHAT DO I TURN IN? AND WHEN?
1. Lab Review Sheets- You will need to complete the questions found in the lab manual at the end of
each lab entitled “Review Sheet”. There will be an additional document on the website that includes
instructions for the labs.
2. Sketching/Additional work generated from Lab Handout- Before a given lab, you MUST print the
Lab Handout for that lab (if applicable), and bring it to class. The Lab Handout will give you detailed
instructions with regard to: what microscope slides to look at and to sketch, what to label in your
sketches, thought questions that you need to answer. Sketches will be stapled to the back of the
relevant Lab review sheet pages. You must also include any data obtained from the lab exercise with
your lab(s).
3. Due dates-. Labs are typically due ONE WEEK after the lab is completed in class, there may be
exceptions, please check the schedule for specifics. A penalty of 25% of EARNED points per class day
will be assessed on any labs turned in after the due date. ONCE A CORRECTED LAB HAS BEEN
4
RETURNED TO THE CLASS, THAT LAB IS NO LONGER ACCEPTED.
NOTE: you must turn in the actual pages torn out of a laboratory manual; no photocopies
will be accepted. Students who report data obtained from another student will receive a
grade of 0.0 for that exercise. You are encouraged to work in groups for lab work, but
each student MUST submit their own, original work.
LAB PRACTICALS
Laboratory practicals may consist of histology, labeling, graphical analysis, and multiple choice questions.
There are no make-ups for missed laboratory practicals. Practicals are incredibly time-consuming
to set up, and cannot be easily recreated. Don’t even THINK about missing a lab practical.
There IS NOT a make-up option. EVER. Period.
EXAMS
There are four exams in this course. Exam 4 is the final and occurs during our regular class period on
Wednesday June 12th: the final cumulative containing approximately 75% new information and 25%
previous information. Exam 4 will likely be worth more points than the previous 3 exams. The exams will
be composed of multiple-choice style questions, true/false, short answer, and essay questions. A new,
unwrinkled Scantron and a #2 pencil will be needed for each exam. These are available at the campus
bookstore.
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. MAKE UP EXAMS, IF GIVEN, ARE GIVEN AT THE INSTRUCTOR’S
DISCRETION, AND MAY NOT BE GIVEN AT ALL. FYI: Travel plans (even pre-existing travel plans) do
not constitute an extraordinary circumstance.
QUIZZES: To help you stay on schedule and assess your progress with the material, quizzes will be
given approximately every two weeks. Quizzes will be given at the beginning of class and will be 1015 minutes long. If you are late to class you will not get extra time on your quiz. Your best 3 of 4 quiz
scores will be included in your final grade (your one lowest quiz score will be dropped). No makeup
quizzes will be given.
PARTICIPATION POINTS- All students start the course with full participation points. How can you
lose participation points? By any of the following ways: improper care of microscopes, reckless use of any
laboratory materials, using pens or pencils to point at bones/models, being tardy, being absent often,
disrespectful behavior toward a classmate, eating or drinking in the lab, to name a few. Please don’t do
any of these things, and you won’t lose any points!
BIOLOGY TUTOR HOURS- The biology department offers tutor hours/open lab hours each quarter. I
strongly encourage you to plan to utilize these hours as often as possible. During these hours many lab
materials will be available to you, including: slides, skeletons, models, posters, etc. Tutor hours typically
begin during the 2nd week of the quarter, and the schedule can be found here,
http://webshare.northseattle.edu/MLC/biology/tutors.html

ETC.
A student who stops attending class without an official withdrawal will be assigned a grade based on the
work completed up to that point. Note that 4/12 is the last day to withdraw from the course
without a “W” appearing on your transcript!
 For other important dates, see this link: https://northseattle.edu/schedule
Fragrance-Free Policy: Many people suffer from allergies and/or chemical sensitivities. As NSCC is
officially a “fragrance-free” campus, please minimize your use of perfumes, colognes, and other heavily
scented products.
Academic dishonesty of any sort (including cheating on exams, copying lab assignments,
plagiarism) will not be tolerated, and will result in a ZERO for the affected exam, quiz, or
assignment. A second offense will result in a withdrawal from the class for the remainder
of the quarter. Academic dishonesty may be referred to the Vice President of Student
Affairs for disciplinary action.
