Attendance:
You are expected to attend all class meetings. Consistent attendance is required for successful completion of
this course. Because of the speed of this course, there is little time to catch up on missed work. Attendance in
lecture and lab are crucial to your success. You will receive 1 point per day of attendance. You must sign both
the lecture and lab sign out sheets to earn the point for that day. No partial credit for attendance. Attendance
points can not be made up.
You are expected to be on time. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to class. Parking is not an excuse to be
late. There is ALWAYS parking on campus. You will be allowed 1 tardy without penalty. Any tardies after the
first offense will result in you losing 3 points.
2 Attendance (cont.):
You can not make up for missed time in class. If you miss 2 class days, which is equal to 20% of your
scheduled class time, I will drop you from the course. There will be a sign out sheet that you must sign at the
end of every lab. For each class day (lecture and lab) that you attend AND sign out, you will receive 1 point. It
is your responsibility to sign this document before you leave the class. If you forget to sign the sheet, you will
be considered absent from class for that day and you will not receive any points. There will be no exceptions
to this policy.
If you miss any class during the first week of classes, you will be dropped from the course. There will be no
exceptions to this policy.
Visual Analogy Guide Packets: The analogy guide packets will be due at the end of each unit in lecture.
VAG packets will be turned in during lab. The pages that you will complete will correspond to the topics
covered in lecture. Each packet is worth 25 points. Packets must be turned in on time. I will not accept late
packets. Packet pages and due dates are posted on my website.
Exams:
Lecture Exams: There will be 4 lecture exams and a comprehensive lecture final exam. The lecture exams
will be multi-format (essay, diagramming, short answer, multiple choice, matching, etc.). Each lecture exam
will cover a specific unit, but will require an understanding of previous information. You must be in class when
the class begins to take the exam. The door will be locked once the exam has started. If you arrive after the
door is locked, you will not be allowed to enter the room and take the exam. Tardiness on an exam day will
result in a score of zero on the exam. Plan accordingly so that you do not end up in a position where you are
late to class and miss an exam. There is always traffic on the roads and parking is always an issue. There will
be no exceptions to this policy. All bags and other items, including cell phones, will be put on the floor in the
front of the classroom during each exam. You may not wear hats of any kind during an exam. You will not be
allowed to have water bottles or any other beverage on your desk during an exam. You will need a pencil and
your colored pencils for every exam. All labeling and diagrams on your exams must be in color. You will lose
2 points for each diagram or labeling question that is not in color. Lecture exams are scheduled and cannot
be made up, except under extremely compelling circumstances with documentation! If you miss an exam
without notifying me of the circumstances BEFORE the test, I will drop you from the course.
Lab Exams: There will be four lab exams and a comprehensive lab final exam. Lab exams will be
administered during your regular lab section. The lab exams will be multi-format (essay, diagramming, short
answer, multiple choice, matching, etc.). Each lab exam will cover a specific unit, but will require an
understanding of previous information. You must be in class when the class begins to take the exam. The
door will be locked once the exam has started. If you arrive after the door is locked, you will not be allowed to
enter the room and take the exam. Tardiness on an exam day will result in a score of zero on the exam. Plan
accordingly so that you do not end up in a position where you are late to class and miss an exam. There is
always traffic on the roads and parking is always an issue. There will be no exceptions to this policy. All
personal items will be stored in the cubbies during an exam and cell phones must be silenced. You will need
a calculator, pencil and your colored pencils for every exam. All labeling and diagrams on your exams must
be in color. You will lose 2 points for each diagram or labeling question that is not in color. Lab exams are
scheduled and cannot be made up, except under extremely compelling circumstances with documentation! If
you miss an exam without notifying me of the circumstances BEFORE the test, I will drop you from the
course.
Lab exams and quizzes will be given at the beginning of the lab period unless otherwise specified. No late
quizzes will be given. No make-ups will be allowed.
Accommodation of Disability:
Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with disabilities. Please consult with the instructor
immediately if you are registered with DSPS and need some type of accommodation.
3 Remember that you are ultimately responsible for your success in class! Review your lecture outlines each
day before class, complete the assigned reading before you come to class, spend an adequate amount of
time studying (about 3 hours outside of class per hour of lecture), attend all classes, and ask lots of
questions!! Physiology can be lots of fun….but you have to be willing to work hard.
CLASSROOM RULES:
• Do not be late to class. You will lose points for being late.
• Do not sleep during lecture. You will lose points for sleeping (you will lose 5 points for sleeping!)
• NO RECORDING OF ANY KIND DURING CLASS
• Cell phones must be silenced and put away in your backpack or purse during class.
• You may have your cell phone out during lab exercises only
• You are responsible for the legibility of your work. If I can’t read what you wrote, it’s wrong!
• Do not talk or be distracting during lecture. The lecture room amplifies your discussions and prevents
anyone sitting in front of you from hearing. If you are asked repeatedly to be quiet, you may be asked
to leave. A second offense will result in appropriate disciplinary action.
• You are responsible for all of the information from Anatomy 35 and your college level chemistry course.
If you are weak on any of this material, please review it!
• Everyone in this class will be treated with respect. This means you! Pay attention to me and your
classmates – no heckling, no sleeping, be courteous and listen when I am or anyone else is talking to
the class. Treat us with respect and we’ll do the same for you.
• Come to class prepared with all the required supplies and equipment.
• Every student must participate in every laboratory exercise, including clean up.
• Do not schedule appointments during lab thinking we will get out early!
• Any unsafe behavior or deliberate abuse of laboratory equipment will result in your immediate dismissal
from lab
• Breaks in the laboratory are taken when convenient and should last no more than 15 minutes.
Students that abandon their group for extended periods will be penalized.
• No visitors are allowed.
• BOTH FINAL EXAMINATIONS MUST BE TAKEN WITH THE CLASS AT THE TIMES SCHEDULED.
• Any student wishing to review their exams MUST do so within 2 weeks after the exam is graded.
• No whining! No hiding! Work hard, do your best, work together, and enjoy yourselves!
