water and electrolyte balance.
6.6 Describing the various fluid compartments of the body and comparing their electrolyte
composition.

Competency 7: The Reproductive System.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able understand the male and
female reproductive systems by:
7.1 Naming the structure and functions of the male and female reproductive systems.
7.3 Comparing and contrasting spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
7.4 Explaining how hormones control the activities of the reproductive organs and discussing the
role of hormones in the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics.
7.5 Discussing the ovarian and menstrual cycles and explaining how they are related.
7.6 Describing the effects of aging on the reproductive systems of males and
females.
The following are guidelines that the students should adhere to at all times to
obtain maximum benefit from the course.
Attendance:
Students should try to attend all lectures sessions promptly. If for any reasons you
cannot attend a class, or will be late you should call and leave a message at the
faculty's extension and state the nature of the circumstance.
There are no make-up exams for students who miss an exam without a legitimate
reason.
Academic Misconduct:
Cheating in any form will not be tolerated and will be dealt with to the fullest extent.
Students who cheat on examinations, quizzes or share homework assignments will be
penalized.
Exams
Tests will be based on material covered in class as well as videos, extra handouts,
online-quizzes, and lecture notes.
Tests are multiple choices. Students need to be present for every exam.

If student misses a test, he or she must bring a written doctor's note or proof of
satisfactory excuse (as deemed satisfactory by his/her instructor) to be allowed to make
up the test (which will be different and harder than the original test) and only if she or he
has contacted me before the test, or the same day of the test. Make up test have to be
taken on the make up test date. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure that
he or she receives a grade for all tests. Any student missing a test with no excuse will
receive a grade of 0 for that test. Students arriving late to a test will be required to finish
in the remaining time allotted.
Quizzes
On line quizzes are worth 10%. All quizzes must be turned in on time, i.e, and prior to
the corresponding test. For example, the quizzes on ch19 will be due prior to test I.
The quizzes must be submitted online to the professor by 5pm the day before of the
test. No quizzes will be accepted the week before finals week. No late work will be
accepted!
Grading Criteria:
There will be a total of four examinations, of which the average of the best three will be
counted towards the final grade. Criteria for letter grades are indicated below:
A
B
C
D
F
90-100%
80-89%
70-79%
60-69%
<60%
Assignments
Assignments could be required for the class, and these should be handed in on the due
dates. Points will be deducted from assignments that are late.
Drop Policy
It is the responsibility of the student to drop the course. Those who appear in the final
grade roll and have not attended or taken the exams will receive a grade of F.
Special Needs Students
Do not expect special considerations (unless disabled). If you are an Access student,
you must provide the professor with the appropriate form the first week of class.

Extra Credits
1. Service learning-volunteering hours at different agencies working with the college,
preferably in the area of your major/field (biology nursing, dietetics) are available. This
extra credit is also available to non-majors. Arrangements must be made early during
this semester to accommodate the student. The student can obtain a maximum of 5
points in their lowest test for 15 hours of volunteer work. Student must show proper
documentation from site to obtain credit. No arrangements will be made at the last
minute. Students interested in completing service learning hours must notify instructor
no later than the second week of class. Volunteer hours must be completed during the
first 4 weeks of the semester to be counted and reflective assignment submitted the
week following the completion of the hours.
