(1‐12) GRADING CRITERIA Grading Method: Grades will be calculated using a weighted average with the breakdown as follows: Quizzes 20% Exams 35% Lab Practicals 35% Lab Activities/Review Sheets 10% Total 100% Grading Scale: 90 – 100% = A 80 – 89% = B 70 – 79% = C 60 – 69% = D 0 – 59% = F INSTITUTION POLICIES AND INSTRUCTOR PROCEDURES Quizzes : Weekly quizzes are given to inspire you to keep on top of studying and as a gauge for how well you’re doing in the class. They will cover the material from the previous week’s lectures as listed in the course outline. If you are not doing well on the quizzes and find them difficult, then that is a sign that you need to change your approach to studying for Anatomy and Physiology. I will drop your two lowest quiz scores. No make‐up quizzes will be given. Written Exams: Anatomy and Physiology is mostly a factual subject with objective exams used as the main evaluation tool. Each exam will be based on lecture material and associated chapters from the text. The exams are NOT cumulative and only test on the material from the most recent section of the course. I will drop your lowest written exam score. In order to pass the class, each student must take the last exam of the semester. No make‐up exams will be given. Lab Practicals: Your understanding in lab is evaluated using lab practical exams. Lab practical exams will be the same week as the lecture exams and cover just the lab material from that section of the course. As the first lab practical nears, I will provide some sample questions and discuss strategies to do well on these exams. It is important is to come to class each week prepared, focus during lab, and review what you’ve learned every week. I will drop your lowest lab practical score. In order to pass the class, each student must take the last lab practical of the semester. No make‐up lab practicals will be given Review Sheets: Review sheets will need to be completed and turned in periodically throughout the semester for evaluation. To be considered for evaluation, each set of review sheets must be stapled, and, your name and the date of each lab must be present on the first page of each set. Late Work: If I receive your work after the scheduled due date, points are deducted at 10% per day the assignment is late. If unknown circumstances occur that will prevent you from submitting your work by the due date, call or email me immediately. Work will NOT be accepted if it is more than 1 week late. Attendance and Withdrawals: You are expected to attend and participate in every lab and attendance will be taken. If you know you are going to miss a class, notify me before you are absent. If you miss a class it is your responsibility to be sure you didn’t miss an assignment and to obtain lecture notes from another student if they choose to give them to you. I may drop a student who misses the equivalent of three class periods. However, under most situations I will not drop students, so, if you stop attending class, it is up to you to withdraw from the class or you will receive the grade that you’ve earned. A student may drop this class without instructor permission before student initiated drop deadline of October 12th. Arriving late or leaving early may be counted as an absence. Cell Phone Policy: Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learning environment. All cell phones must be placed in a non‐audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones must be used outside these facilities. Any student found using a cell phone in any manner during an exam, lab practical or quiz will receive an automatic zero on that exam, lab practical or quiz. Course Withdrawal: To officially withdraw from a course, the student must do so online through the YC Portal. Withdrawing from a course after the published deadline (March 8th) for withdrawal requires instructor approval and signature. A withdrawal “W” will no longer be assigned when a student does not complete a class. If you decide to withdraw from the class it is your responsibility to do so. Instructors will assign only letter grades for students who remain enrolled. If a student does not follow official procedures for withdrawing from a course, failing grades may be posted on the student’s permanent record. Academic Integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning environment. The presentation of another individual’s work as one’s own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating, plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the College’s “Student Code of Conduct.” Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, and violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the Yavapai College General Catalog. Depending on the severity of the cheating, the student may receive a zero for the assessment, up to expulsion from Yavapai College. Student Code of Conduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are fundamental expectations for every student. The “Student Code of Conduct” outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process for responding to allegations of student misconduct. Disability Resources: Yavapai College is committed to providing educational support services to students with documented disabilities. Accommodations for a student must be arranged by the student through the Disability Resources Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928‐776‐2079 or Verde Valley Campus: 928‐634‐6563). STUDENT RESOURCES (AS APPLICABLE) Library services: Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the Verde Valley Campus libraries. Both libraries are members of a countywide library network, which provides access to a wide‐range of information and resources at libraries throughout Yavapai County. Possession of a College library card entitles students to access materials housed at member libraries. Instructors may place required course materials on reserve in the library or make assignments that require the use of library resources. Learning Centers: Learning Centers are available on the Prescott and Verde Valley Campuses. These centers provide a variety of learning support for students including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for students with disabilities, and a networked general computer lab. Tutoring: Call for details: Prescott 776‐2085 or Verde Valley 634‐6562 Online writing tutoring for any academic subject is available at www2.yc.edu/content/learningcenters COURSE OUTLINE – FALL 2015 Week 1 Lab: Wednesday – 8/26  Introductions/ Syllabus/Orientation  Lecture – Basic Chemistry Review  Lecture ‐ Cellular Odds and Ends Week 2 Lab: Wednesday – 9/2  Quiz – Tissues  Lab – Microscopes  Lab ‐ Epithelial Tissues  Study Plans Week 3 Lab: Wednesday – 9/9  Quiz – Skeletal Tissues  Lab – Epithelial Tissues cont.  Study Plans Due Week 4 Lab: Wednesday – 9/16  Unit I Written Exam  Lab Practical I  Review Sheets Due Week 5 Lab: Wednesday – 9/23  Quiz – Nervous System Tissues  Lab – Connective & Nervous Tissues On Your Own:  Lecture – Intro to A & P ‐ Human Body Organization  Lecture – Tissues  Read – Basic Chemistry (as needed to refresh)  Cells (as needed to refresh)  Read – Introduction to A & P  Read – Tissues  Review Sheets – Anatomy Terms  Review Sheets – Tissues On Your Own:  Lecture ‐ Integumentary System  Lecture – Skeletal Tissues  Read – Integumentary System  Read – Skeletal Tissues  Review Sheets – Skeletal Tissues  Review Sheets – Integumentary System On Your Own:  No new material On Your Own:  Lecture ‐ Nervous System Tissues  Lecture ‐ Action Potentials & Synapses  Read – Nervous System Tissues  Read – Action Potentials & Synapses On Your Own:  Lecture – Axial Skeleton  Lecture – Spinal Cord Anatomy and Organization  Read – Axial Skeleton  Read – Spinal Cord Anatomy and Organization  Review Sheets – Axial Skeleton  Review Sheets – Spinal Cord Week 6 Lab: Wednesday – 9/30  Quiz – Spinal Cord Anatomy and Organization  Lab – Axial Skeleton  Lab – Spinal Cord Anatomy and Organization  Lab – Connective & Nervous Tissues Week 7 Lab: Wednesday – 10/7  Quiz – PNS & ANS  Lab – Axial Skeleton cont.  Lab – Spinal Cord Anatomy cont.  Lab – Connective & Nervous Tissues Week 8 Lab: Wednesday – 10/14  Unit II Written Exam  Lab Practical II  Review Sheets Due Week 9 Lab: Wednesday – 10/21  Quiz – The Brain  Lab ‐ Bones of the Skull  Lab – Brain Dissection Week 10 Lab: Wednesday – 10/28  Quiz – Special Senses  Lab – Eyeball Dissection  Lab – Bones of Skull cont.  Lab – Brain cont.
