Title IX – Sexual Misconduct
Fayetteville State University (University) is committed to fostering a safe campus environment where
sexual misconduct — including sexual harassment, domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and
stalking - is unacceptable and is not tolerated. The University encourages students who may have
Page 1 of 6
ZOOL 210: Human Anatomy & Physiology I course syllabus
spring 2016
experienced sexual misconduct to speak with someone at the University so that the University can
provide the support that is needed and respond appropriately. The Sexual Misconduct policy can be found
at the following link: http://www.uncfsu.edu/Documents/Policy/students/SexualMisconduct.pdf
Consulting with a Health Care Professional - A student who wishes to confidentially speak about an
incident of sexual misconduct should contact either of the following individuals who are required to
maintain confidentiality:
Ms. Dionne Hall
Licensed Professional Counselor
Spaulding Building, Room 167
(910) 672-2167
dhall9@uncfsu.edu
Ms. Linda Melvin
Director, Student Health Services
Spaulding Building, Room 121
(910) 672-1454
lmelvi10@uncfsu.edu
Reporting an Incident of Sexual Misconduct - The University encourages students to report incidents
of sexual misconduct. A student who wishes to report sexual misconduct or has questions about
University policies and procedures regarding sexual misconduct should contact the following individual:
Title IX Coordinator
Barber Building, Room 242
(910) 672-1141
Unlike the Licensed Professional Counselor or the Director of Student Health Services, the Deputy Title
IX Coordinator is legally obligated to investigate reports of sexual misconduct, and therefore cannot
guarantee confidentiality, but a request for confidentiality will be considered and respected to the extent
possible.
Students are also encouraged to report incidents of sexual misconduct to the University’s Police and
Public Safety Department at (910) 672-1911.

FSU attendance and grading policy
Class Attendance:
1. You are expected to attend all class meetings, laboratories, and other instructional sessions. You
are expected to arrive to class on time and remain in class for the entire scheduled period. If you
must miss a class(es) for unavoidable reasons - i.e., illness, family emergencies, or participation in
official university sponsored activities – you are responsible for informing me of the reason(s) for the
absences, in advance if possible, and you must complete all missed assignments.
2. During the first half of the semester/term, I will assign an Interim Grade of "EA," Excessive
Absences, for students whose class absences exceed 10% (three class/lab meetings) of the total
contact meetings for the class. Students who receive EA interim grades must either withdraw from the
class or resume attendance. Students who resume attendance must consult with me about completion
of missed assignments. The EA is not a final grade, so students who are assigned an interim grade of
EA, but do not withdraw from the class, will receive a final grade based on the evaluation criteria for
the class.
3. An Interim Grade of “X” (no show) will be given early in the semester as a warning to the student.
Interim Grades of “X” do not influence GPA; they are reminders to the student to decide whether to
withdraw or to increase attendance.
4. A final grade of “FN” (F due to non-attendance or excessive Absences) is given to a student whose
class absence exceeds 10% class/laboratory meetings in a semester and does not withdraw but instead
remains on the roster. Lab meetings are considered class meetings.
Classroom policies:
1. Food: Food is forbidden in the lecture room, and OSHA regulations forbid both food and drink in the
lab.
Page 3 of 6
ZOOL 210: Human Anatomy & Physiology I course syllabus
spring 2016
2. Bringing children to the class or lab: This is against FSU policy.
3. Disruptive behavior: The professor will use his own judgment as to whether, in response to
disruptive behavior, he will merely ask the student to stop, ask the student to leave for the rest of the
class period, or take other action. In extreme or repeated cases, the instructor may report the student
to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action according to the FSU Code of Student Conduct.
Disruptive behavior includes food consumption, playing music with headphones, popping gum,
texting, answering a phone, holding a private conversation, or any other behavior that the professor or
students find distracting or rude.
4. Exam and laboratory policies:
A. Exams and quizzes may be online or paper in class
B. Make-up exams: No make-up exams for online exams (no exceptions). For paper exams:
1. A make-up exam is arranged only if the student requests one, must be prearrangement.
2. A make-up exam must be taken within one week after the scheduled exam.
3. To discourage habitual absence on exam days, each student is allowed only one prearranged make-up exam. If you failed to pre-arrange for a make-up exam, you are to
provide documentation for a legitimate reason (e.g. medical situation, family emergency, auto
trouble, participation in a school event) for having missed the scheduled exam.
C. No Prearrangements = 10 points reduction.
D. Location: If a prearranged or make-up exam cannot be taken in the professor’s office during
office hours, it will be taken in the University Testing office (Collins 109). The University
Testing office requires that the student make an appointment with at least one day’s notice (call
672-1815); appointments cannot be changed.
E. Tardiness: Arrival more than 10 minutes late to an exam more than once results in a reduction of
the student’s exam score by 10 points, unless the student provides documentation for a legitimate
reason for the lateness.
F. Cheating: The instructor will adhere to University policy concerning cheating.
G. If you leave the room after having started an exam, your exam is over.
H. Lab exercises involving equipment cannot be made up.
I. Bring both the lab manual and the textbook to every lab period.

Instructional style:
Zoology 210 is a lecture-based course designed to present the basic theories of Anatomy and Physiology.
Zool. 210 also contains a laboratory component that provides hands-on implementation of the theories
and concepts covered in lecture. Visual aids such as PPTX/transparencies/white board will be utilized to
bring clarity to concepts/theories and structural components discussed in lecture. For the laboratory,
students will work in teams, one team per lab table. The instructor will provide the specimens to be
studied, the list of body parts to be identified, and assistance in finding parts as needed.
XI.
Bibliography:
All Zool. 210 students are encouraged to use the library and to do supplemental reading in the biological
sciences. The following science periodicals and computer software provide a source of current
information in a format appropriate for both the major and non-major biology student.
Computer Software/ Internet Web Sites:
Access to Online Connect® Learning Center is provided free of charge as part of your lab manual
charges. Instructions on how to access and use Connect® are posted on Canvas. Several course related
activities/assignments will have to be completed at this site and/or Canvas (text in quotation marks is
copied/revised from the respective site.)
1. Anatomy & Physiology Revealed® (APR). “This online interactive cadaver dissection program
uses cadaver photos combined with a layering technique that allows you to peel away layers of
the human body to reveal structures beneath the surface. APR also offers animations, histologic
and radiologic imaging, audio pronunciations, and comprehensive quizzing.” You are expected to
take full advantage of it; you will see it in exams and quizzes.
2. LearnSmart (LS). “LearnSmart is an interactive study tool that adaptively assesses your skill
and knowledge levels to track which topics you have mastered and which require further
instruction and practice.” For each chapter, you will have a minimum of 20-minute assignment to
be completed prior to the starting lecture on that chapter. You will be notified by email and
through Canvas of each assignment and its due date. These will be graded and must be completed
by due date.
3. Ph.I.L.S (Physiology Interactive Laboratory Simulation) is “a virtual laboratory exercises
created by Dr. Phil Stephens of Villanova University and offers 37 laboratory simulations that
may be used to supplement or substitute for wet labs. It is an excellent way to reinforce key
physiology concepts with powerful lab experiments. You can adjust variables, view outcomes,
make predictions, draw conclusions, and print lab reports.” You will be told which one to
complete and when. The link to Ph.I.L.S is shown in Connect® under “Bookmarks” to the right
of your course home page at Connect® screen. There will be a report generated automatically at
the completion of each exercise. You are expected to print the report and submit for grading.
Connect® also contains a study guide, other learning tools, and help on how to excel in this course, take
advantage of all!
