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. The discussion questions are on the ANGEL
system and so you will need to access the discussion questions by logging

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

*Work handed in Late and Incompletes
Exams, lab reports, quizzes, summary papers, Lab Practicals and any other
work handed in later than the dates listed will be considered late. Date of
submission will be determined by the time stamp on the assignment if

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

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
