(1‐12) Grading Scale: Quizzes Exams Lab Practicals Laboratory Notebook Total Grading Scale: 90 – 100% = A 80 – 89% = B 70 – 79% = C 60 – 69% = D 0 – 59% = F Grading (credit) criteria: 20% 35% 35% 10% 100% 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 are given first thing at our first class meeting of the week and cover the material from the previous week’s classes 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. 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. If you are going to miss an exam, you must contact me prior the exam date. Make‐up exams will be given only if proof of a legitimate emergency can be provided. 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. Most important is to come to class each week prepared, focus during lab, and review what you’ve learned every week. Lab practicals cannot be made up for any reason. As a result, I will drop your lowest lab practical score. You must show a cumulative passing grade on the lab practicals or you cannot pass the class, no matter how well you do on the other exams and evaluations. Laboratory Notebooks: A laboratory notebook will need to be kept and turned in for evaluation prior to each exam. To be considered for evaluation, a notebook must have the following:  Be bound or stapled separate from your regular class notes or notebook (three‐ring binder recommended)  A title page indicating your name, course title, and when the class meets.  A table of contents that refers to tabs placed in front of each laboratory exercise.  Laboratory exercises taken from the lab manual must have all frilly edges removed.  Your name and the date the lab was conducted in class must be written clearly on the first page of each lab. 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: Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings and laboratories. A student who expects to be absent due to another school‐
sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must make prior arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be made up as directed by the instructor. If a student has more than 3 unexcused absences they can be dropped from the class. A student who does not adhere to instructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped from the course as defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog. Cell Phone and Pager Policy: Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learning environment. All cell phones and pagers must be placed in a non‐audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones and pagers must be used outside these facilities. Any student found using a cell phone in any manner during an exam or quiz will receive and automatic zero on that exam or quiz. Course Withdrawal: To officially withdraw from a course, the student must complete a Yavapai College Change of Class Enrollment Form and submit it to the Registration Office. Withdrawing from a course after the published deadline of Oct. 17th requires instructor approval and signature. After Dec 2nd, a withdrawal “W” will no longer be assigned when a student does not complete a class. 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. 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: A Learning Center is 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: Online resources and services: 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 BIO 201 – Anatomy and Physiology I Course Outline – Fall 2010 Week 1 Online Lectures:  Human Body Orientation  Cellular Odds and Ends  Tissues Lab: Friday 8/27 
