*Proctored Unit Exams (100 points each)
Exams will be made available at your proctor location. You will need
to set up an appointment to perform the exam with your proctor. In
order to take the exam you will be provided a “password” by your
proctor. You will find the exams in the UNIT EXAMS link in ANGEL.
*Online Quizzes (7 Points each)
There are 8 online quizzes (2 for each unit) which will be performed
online. Access to the quizzes is provided on the ANGEL SURVEY OF
HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY home page.
*Summary Papers (11 Points each)
Two summary papers will be required for each of the 4 Units during
the course of the class. The summary paper topics and criteria can
be found by following the links from the SUMMARY PAPERS INDEX
from the SURVEY OF HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY home page.
*Lab Reports (14 Points each)
Each of the 10 labs will require a lab report to be submitted. You can
find criteria and directions for writing your lab report on the LAB
INDEX link on the SURVEY OF HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
home page.
*Lab Practical (38 Points each)
There will be 2 lab practicals which are basically exams which will
test your knowledge of the completed labs. These will be taken and
submitted online. The Lab Practicals are available from the ANGEL
SURVEY OF HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY home page.
*Discussion Entries (5 Points each)
There will be two discussion questions for each unit. The discussion will
require that you supply at least one entry to the discussion questions
presented by the instructor and one response to another students entry.
The discussion questions are on the ANGEL system and so you will need to
access the discussion questions by logging on to ANGEL. You can then link
to the DISCUSSION BOARD. The discussion entries will be graded on the
depth and amount of information entered on the discussion board. Each
discussion question can be worth up to 5 points.
*Extra credit: Topic Paper (80 points)
Topic paper involving the scientific field of Human Anatomy or Human
Physiology. You must follow the directions and the paper requirements
listed below. The paper will be due the same date as the last exam is due for
the course.

mail will be considered to have a submission date as given by the Postmark

and on the ASSIGNMENT SHEET. Of course assignments can be submitted
before the due dates listed. Guidelines will be posted to keep you on track
for the assignments. Exams must be completed during the window of time
specified. There is no make-up work. If you are not able to finish the course
in the prescribed time you will need to fill out the REQUEST FOR
INCOMPLETE form which you can access from the SURVEY OF HUMAN
ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY HOME PAGE. An incomplete is normally given
under special circumstances only. If you need more time to finish the
course because of events that have occurred to you which you could not
control, then submitting a request for incomplete may be an option for you.
A submission of this form does not substitute for a granting of the
incomplete. Your instructor will have the sole responsibility and function in
approving incompletes.

Extra Credit Topic Paper Due
Remember that the assignment due date listed is when the assignment is due. It
might be best if you submit work as you finish before the due date. You can and
should submit work before the due dates listed. Quizzes should be taken when a
lecture is completed. Unit exams will be taken as scheduled with your proctor.
Lab Practical exams will be taken online on your own honor. If you choose to do
the Topic paper, it must be completed by the end of the semester. (Remember to
get approval of your title with the instructor).
Proctor Specifications:
1) BCC’s four Learning Labs administer online exams for Brevard County
residents.
2) Residents outside of the county must make exam arrangements acceptable to
the Instructor. Students in the State of Florida should be directed first to a
Community College testing lab, or a school or public library. Students unable to
do this should request permission for an outside proctor. You must contact the
instructor to approve your Proctor if you do not reside in Brevard County.
Information is sent to individual proctors using the same online process as is used
for submission to Learning Labs.
3) Exams must be taken on or before the due dates listed in the Assignment Sheet
and Syllabus
4) Testing is by appointment. Students make individual test appointments with the
Learning Lab of their choice by contacting the Learning Lab or their identified Off
campus Proctor directly.
5) The exams will be located in the UNIT EXAM area of the ANGEL classroom.
6) Students are responsible for making and keeping appointments with the
Learning Lab most convenient to them.
7) Valid government issued Photo I.D. (i.e. BCC ID, Driver’s License or Passport)
is required to administer exams.
8) Students who are taking exams will be directed to the Testing Area and will be
observed on a regular basis. If there is any suspicious behavior, appropriate
Learning Lab staff should be notified immediately, who will then notify the
Coordinator. When there is a question concerning a student, exam, etc…the
Learning Lab Coordinator or designee will contact the instructor.
9) The Learning Lab testing room/area is the same as a classroom. Therefore, the
following items are not allowed to be taken to the testing room/area:
Cellular telephones, pagers, books/materials, children, or non-registered
students
Specific instructions for proctored exams can be found from the links below for
each learning lab.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance Policy The e-Learning Department at Brevard Community College has a very strict attendance
policy that must be adhered to by all online students.

3-Day Initial Attendance Policy: You must complete one or more required Initial Attendance
activities within your online course within the first 3 days of the semester. Be sure to check with
your instructor as to what your 3-Day Initial Attendance activities that are required.
o Failure to complete the required 3-Day Initial Attendance Activity by the third day of the
semester will result in your instructor reporting you as Never Attending and the college will
withdraw you from the course. You will not be reinstated.

Regular Attendance Policy: You must maintain acceptable attendance in your online course. Just
logging into your online course does not constitute attendance. You must complete a required
activity.
o Failing to complete two-consecutive weeks of required work in your course will result in
your instructor reporting you as Stopped Attending and the college will withdraw you for
nonattendance (W7) from the course. You will not be reinstated.
o

If for any reason you believe you will miss any assignment in your course, you must obtain
prior approval from your instructor. Do not assume that you can ask for forgiveness or an
extension after the fact. Documentation may be required by your instructor.
Dropped for Non-Payment (DN): If the college drops you from your online course due to nonpayment of fees, you will not be reinstated into your online course. It is your responsibility to make
sure all of your fees are paid on time.

Academic Honesty
handbook
Cheating, plagiarism and any other misrepresentation of
work are prohibited. Students who are found to be in
violation of this standard may receive severe sanctions
including a failing grade in their respective course and,
depending on the circumstances, possible expulsion
from Brevard Community College.
Academic Dishonesty
Definition: Academic dishonesty includes conduct aimed at making false representation with
respect to a student’s academic performance. Examples of academic dishonesty cases are listed
below. Actions such as stealing examinations, course materials or falsifying records will be
adjudicated under the regular student disciplinary procedure.
A. Cheating;
B. Plagiarism;
C. Collaborating with others in work to be presented, if contrary to the stated rules of the
course;
D. Knowingly and intentionally assisting another student in any of the above actions,
including assistance in an arrangement whereby any work, classroom performance,
examination or other activity is submitted or performed by a person other than the student
under whose name the work is submitted or performed.
Brevard Community College subscribes to a web-based plagiarism detection service called
Turnitin.com. This service accepts electronically-submitted student papers and cross checks them
against billions of online documents for contextual matches. Some instructors may use this service
if they suspect that a student has plagiarized an assignment.
