Summary of Instructional Goals and Activities/Syllabus
Summary of Instructional Goals and Activities/Syllabus
Course Title:
Physiology B
Textbook:
Applied ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: A Case Study Approach. B.R. Shmaefsky, Paradigm Publ.
Course Content: The course shall cover major aspects of biology including Biological Macromolecules, Cell
Structure and Function, Body Parts and Functions, Physiological Processes
Classroom Instruction: Instruction will consist of reading strategies, lectures, discussions and laboratory
experiments.
Bring TEXTBOOK to class everyday.
Class Dismissal: At the end of dach period students remain seated until teacher dismisses class.
MATERIALS NEEDED: A 3-Ring Binder with plenty of college ruled filler paper for
notes; pen, pencils, set of colored pencils.
Homework is assigned daily. You must take notes during each period unless you are given a test. While taking
lecture notes, the date for each day of class must be written at the top right corner and the title of the subject and
chapter number at the top middle. The notes you take must follow. Your notebooks will be checked for accuracy,
completeness and thoroughness every Friday and graded accordingly.
Class work is on the scheduled day. Homework papers are to be turned in at the beginning of class! Place
completed homework on the table in front of the whiteboard when you enter the classroom.
Papers without names will be discarded. All homework should include a cover page showing your name at the
top left corner and the date at the top right corner of the page. In the center there should be the COURSE TITLE,
Chapter # and the TITLE, HWK # and the number of pages in the book and problem numbers.
LABORATORY reports must also have a cover page indicating your names, dates as described above and
experiment TITLE and # and Chapter # of the textbook to which the experiment is related.
Grading Policy: Grades will be based on a percentage basis of the total available points: notebooks/attendance
5%, class work 15%, homework, 20%, quizzes, tests and lab reports 20% each. These percentages may change if
required. The letter grade equivalents are: 86-100% = A; 74-85% = B; 60-73% = C; 45-59% = D; 0-44% = F.
Make Up Policy for Absences: Students may make-up missed tests, quizzes and assignments. It is the student’s
responsibility to make up the missed work. Missed assignments or tests must be made up within 24 hours after the
student returns and work due on Fridays no later than the Monday of the following week. No late work will be
accepted for full credit, unless due to an excused absence.
Attendance and tardy policy:
The current James Monroe High School Attendance Policy will be adhered to.
Discipline procedure: Students must follow class rules attached here. Those who do not follow
1.
2.
3.
4.
Will be asked to stay for conference and/or detention.
Their parents/guardian will be requested to come for conference.
Will be asked to leave the classroom and go to the Dean’s or Counselor’s Office.
Will fail the course if homework, class work, reports, quizzes and tests are repeatedly missed.
SAFETY REGULATIONS: Every student must follow the safety rules during experiments. Anyone who
does not, will not be allowed to participate in the laboratory exercises. The parents’ signature is
mandatory for a student to be allowed to work in the laboratory.

The student must
Follow the safety guidelines of the teacher.
Keep the work area neat and free of unnecessary papers, books and materials. Keep clothing and hair neat
and out of the way and wear safety apron and gloves if directed by the teacher.
Know the location of all safety equipment such as the fire extinguisher and first-aid kit and of the nearest
telephone.
Must wear aprons and safety goggles when handling chemicals, working with flame or performing any
other activity that can harm the eyes.
Not use chemicals, heat, electricity, or sharp objects until the teacher instructs to do so. Always follow the
instructor’s directions carefully.
Be especially careful when using glassware. When heating glassware the student will make sure that it is
made of heat-resistant material and will never use cracked or chipped glassware.
Wash hands immediately after handling hazardous materials. The student will clean u all work areas
before leaving the laboratory, put away all equipment and supplies and turn off all water faucets and
electric hot plates.
Help for the students:
If students should have difficulty with the course, they must come and see me. They should not wait until
the end of the semester as it will be too late by then.
Honesty and Integrity:
Any student caught cheating on an assignment, quiz, test or project will receive an automatic zero. Unless
it is a group work, it is cheating to let someone else copy your paper or homework. Also, if any student is found
copying or doing homework for a different class will be held responsible. The papers will be confiscated, destroyed
and a meeting arranged with the other teacher.
BEHAVIOR IN CLASS will reflect on students’ grades.

Dear Parent/Guardian
Attached is the summary of the instructional goals and Syllabus for the Physiology B
course of your child. Please review the syllabus to be aware of course goals, class rules and
assignments. STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT ALL HOMEWORK, LAB REPORTS AND
OTHER ASSIGNMENTS ON THE ASSIGNED DATES AS PART OF AND
REQUIREMENT FOR THE COURSE. There may be laboratory assignments for specified
weekends to which students are expected to be present and perform the activities. Note that class
rules include “No cell phones, no ipods, no CD playing, no ear phones. Cell phones or ipods
will be confiscated and returned at the end of the day” which will be strictly enforced.
Please sign the consent form thtat is attached to this letter and send it back with your child to
indicate your agreement with the stated goals for the course and class rules. Call Monroe High
School at (818) 830-4200 to make an appointment to see me should you have any question.
You may obtain your son’s or daughter’s grade by checking my website at

6.b. Students know how to analyze changes in an ecosystem resulting from changes in climate, human activity,
introduction of nonnative species, or
changes in population size.
6.c. Students know how fluctuations in population size in an ecosystem are determined by the relative rates of birth,
immigration, emigration, and death.
6.d. Students know how water, carbon, and nitrogen cycle between abiotic resources and organic matter in the
ecosystem and how oxygen cycles
through photosynthesis and respiration.
6.e. Students know a vital part of an ecosystem is the stability of its producers and decomposers.
6.f. Students know at each link in a food web some energy is stored in newly made structures but much energy is
dissipated into the environment as
heat. This dissipation may be represented in an energy pyramid
