Attendance: Regular attendance in lecture and lab is mandatory*. If a student is absent for more than the
equivalent of one week of class (two days), that student may be withdrawn without notice. The single best thing
you can do to succeed in class is to attend class every day. Please email me ASAP if you miss class – keep in
touch! If you stop showing up to class and do not properly withdraw, you may be withdrawn by the
instructor without notice or you may receive a final grade of “F” or “Y” at the instructor’s discretion.
For withdrawal procedures, see the College Catalogue: http://www.gatewaycc.edu/Catalog/GateWayCatalog.pdf#47
Grading Policy: The final grade for this course will be a combination of your lecture and lab scores.
Lecture Scores: Lecture scores will account for about 67% of your course grade.
 Lecture Exams: There will be four regular exams given in lecture. The dates are listed in the schedule. There are NO
EARLY, LATE OR MAKEUP LECTURE EXAMS*. You are allowed to DROP YOUR LOWEST LECTURE
EXAM SCORE and it will not count in your grade. Lecture Exams are worth 100pts each. * If your first two
recorded lecture exam scores are below 50%, I strongly recommend you withdraw due to academic difficulties.
 Final Exam: The Final Exam is comprehensive covering all course material. The Final Exam date is listed in the
schedule. The Final Exam score will NOT be dropped. There is NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKEUP FINAL EXAM*.
Final Exam is worth 200pts and counts for 20% of the total course grade.
 Lecture Quizzes: Several short quizzes covering recent lecture material will be given in class regularly (see schedule)
to ensure that you are keeping up with material. There are NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKE-UP LECTURE QUIZZES
GIVEN*. You are allowed to DROP YOUR LOWEST LECTURE QUIZ and it will not count in your grade.
Lecture quizzes are given at the beginning of class. If you are not present in class for the quiz at the start of class, you
will not be allowed to take that quiz at any other time (be on time). Lecture Quizzes are worth 20pts each.
 Lecture Assignments: Lecture assignments are posted on my website (see schedule) or handed out in class and are
due in the first 10 minutes of lecture on the due date listed, afterwards they are considered “late”. Late assignments
are accepted up to one week after they are due, with a 20% deduction per class (lecture) day late. No late assignments
will be posted or handed out on or past their due date. Lecture assignments are worth 10pts each.
 Review Assignment: There is one In-Class Review Assignment (see schedule). There is NO EARLY, LATE OR
MAKE-UP REVIEW ASSIGNMENT. You must attend and participate in class on the day of the assignment to
receive credit*. The in-class review assignment is worth approx. 20pts.
 Lab/Lec Participation: Your effort and participation in labs and lectures can earn you up to 20pts. Show up on time,
be prepared for class, participate in activities, follow the policies in the syllabus, take proper care of lab materials,
obey lab safety rules and be focused on class work.
Lab Scores: Lab scores will account for about 33% of your course grade.
 Lab Exams: There will be three “practical exams” – meaning you will need to locate and identify and/or describe the
function of structures in the body (bones, tissues etc.). The dates are listed in the schedule. There are NO EARLY,
LATE OR MAKEUP LAB EXAMS*. All three lab exams will count towards your grade NONE ARE DROPPED.
Lab Exams are worth 50pts each.
 Lab Quizzes: Several short quizzes will be given either at the beginning or end of Lab. The dates are listed in the
schedule. There are NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKE-UP LAB QUIZZES GIVEN*. You are allowed to DROP
YOUR LOWEST LAB QUIZ and it will not count in your grade. If you are not present in lab for the quiz at the start
of lab, you will not be allowed to take that quiz at any other time (be on time). Lab Quizzes are worth 20pts each.
 Lab Assignments: Lab homework assignments from the lab manual and due dates for the individual pages are noted
in your Schedule. Lab assignments are due in the first 10 minutes of lab or else they are considered late. Assignments
turned in on the due date but after this time are counted as one day late. Late lab assignments are accepted up to one
week after they are due, with a 20% deduction per class (lecture) day late. Lab Assignments are worth 10pts each.
* There are VERY RARE exceptions made on a case-by-case basis (e.g. religious observances, death in immediate family, official absences, etc.)
with documentation.

Course Grade: The grade for this course follows a straight percentage scale:
Grade Scale:
900-1000pts
800-899pts
700-799pts
600-699pts
Under 600pts
= A (90%)
= B (80%)
= C (70%)
= D (60%)
= F (<60%)
Your Overall Course Percentage is determined as follows:
Your Total Points ÷ Total Possible Points x 100%
NOTE: Students are responsible for keeping track of their own points and grade throughout the semester. All
left-over student assignments/materials not claimed by the end of the semester will be promptly discarded.
Academic Dishonesty/Disruptions: Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated.
This includes
cheating or copying answers on tests, quizzes or “individual” assignments or allowing others to cheat or copy
your work. Communicating the questions, answers or content of tests or quizzes from one student to another
before all students have completed it is considered “cheating”. Use or handling of a cellphone or other
electronic device during a test or quiz is considered “cheating”. Taking or copying the content or answers of any
test or quiz without authorization is considered “cheating”. Lecture exams are not allowed out of the classroom
at any time in the semester. Academic dishonesty will result in a zero for that score. The incident will be
referred to the VP of Student Affairs. Academic dishonesty may result in a removal from the course with a
failing grade. Disruptive behavior in class will not be tolerated. Students who are disruptive or create a
negative, distracting or dangerous learning environment for others will receive one verbal warning from the
instructor. If the negative behavior continues, Security may be called to remove the disruptive student and the
student will be referred to VP of Student Affairs and may lead to withdrawal from the course.
Use of Human and Animal Material in Lab: This course focuses on anatomy and physiology of the human
body. To provide students with a well-rounded education regarding the cells, tissues, organs and processes of
the body, we use a variety of human and animal materials including cadavers, tissue sections, human bones,
animal brains, hearts, eyes etc. in addition to a large variety of plastic models and online resources such as
APR3.0. Though the use of human and animal organs is beneficial in the learning process, it is understandable
that some students may not want to handle human or animal organs for religious or other personal reasons.
Students who object are not required to handle such materials, but are still required to attend all labs and take
quizzes and practical exams. In addition, students who object to handling these materials should meet with their
instructor early (within the first week) in the semester to discuss the matter and, if needed, arrange alternate
assignments.
Cadaver Protocol:
Show respect for the people who donated their bodies for education. There should be no joking about the
cadavers, no nicknames in class or outside of class. Showing disrespect for the cadavers can result in your
withdrawal from the course. Show respect to your fellow students also. It is not easy for everyone to work with
cadavers, so do not tease or joke about other's hesitations. Approach the cadavers ONLY after you have
become familiar with the models and diagrams. Know what you're looking for before approaching the cadaver.
Students are not allowed to handle the cadavers without close instructor supervision at all times.
3
Technology: I maintain a website (http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/home_pages/crimando) for all my courses and
strongly recommend that students get outlines, study questions, powerpoint slides and use the lab tutorials
there. Password to access Powerpoints is given in class. If you email me any messages or essays, I will not
open any attachments – all text you want me to read should be placed in the body of your email. Each GateWay
student has a MCCCD Email Account (access it here: https://google.maricopa.edu/ Use that Maricopa email
account when contacting me so that I will know who you are (as opposed to someone sending me an email
from “fuzzeebear79@yahoo.com”). I will not communicate student issues via any email OTHER than
through the Maricopa email system. Students are welcome to record lectures for their own personal use.
Recordings are not to be distributed or posted online. Please TURN OFF your cellphones in class - they are a
distraction to other students and myself. CELL PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES MUST
BE OFF AND PUT AWAY DURING TESTS & QUIZZES. Cell phone handling or use during a test or quiz
will be result in a zero for that test or quiz - this is your only warning in writing.
Identification: You are required to write your 8-digit Student ID number on your lecture exams. If you do not
properly identify yourself on your exams, which includes your name, your ID number and the Test Form on
your exams and scantrons, you will not receive credit for taking the exam. If you don’t know your 8-digit
Student ID number (it should start with 3…), find it BEFORE your first exam. I will not supply you with
identification that you should already have for yourself.
Visitors:
No unregistered persons are allowed in class - lecture or lab. This includes children of registered
students.
Disability Resources: Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, are eligible to receive
reasonable accommodations and should contact the Coordinator of Disabled Student Services (602) 286-8888.
http://students.gatewaycc.edu/Resources/DisabilityResources/
Library: The library is located in the IE building first floor, and has computers for student use including
Internet access and printers. It also has an online database of journals as well as a librarian available round the
clock 24/7 to answer student questions. http://library.gatewaycc.edu/
Learning Center: Located on IE building second floor, the Learning Center provides free academic support
services and free tutoring for students as well as anatomical models, microscope and slides for studying lab
materials. They have excellent resources and staff to help students learn time management and proper study
skills. http://students.gatewaycc.edu/Resources/LearningCenter/default.htm
Counseling Services: If you’re having personal problems or crisis or just need help coping, GateWay
Community College offers has an excellent staff at Counseling Services. Call to schedule an appointment for
help with family or personal problems or just stop by their location on the IE first floor near the Assessment
Center. It’s FREE for registered students. Call (602) 286-8900 or go to
http://students.gatewaycc.edu/Resources/Counseling/Default.htm. There is also a Career and Educational Planning Center
there to help guide you as you plan your educational and career goals
Veterans Services: The Veterans Services Office provides information for students wishing to use their GI
Bill benefits. The Office assists students by facilitating the application for educational assistance, providing
students with tuition and book deferments as well as answering general questions about college enrollment and
benefits available. Please contact GateWay Veterans Office for additional information at (602) 286-8061.

Expectations: What are the expectations of a student taking this class?
Understand that this is a second-year college-level science course. It is expected that you have passed the
prerequisite biology course and BIO201 and that you are familiar with the basics of biology, the cell, the
chemistry of the cell, some genetics and the competencies from BIO201. Those are the formal expectations;
however I have my own simple expectations as well:
1. Students are expected to be on time for class.
2. Students should prepare for the class topic of the day by reviewing previous notes and reading the day's
material ahead of time.
3. Students should be alert in class and ask questions if they do not understand material being discussed. If a
class is missed, it is the student's responsibility to obtain the material for that day as soon as possible.
4. Students should know how to use the textbook as a reference, including in lab, and read and comprehend
the textbook.
5. Students are responsible for knowing what assignments are due and submitting assignments on time.
6. Students should use lab time wisely; lab time is for studying anatomical models and specimens. Most lab
assignments from the lab manual are to be done at home - they are homework. Use lab time for studying lab
materials and for group interaction and studying.
7. Follow directions. Failing to follow directions in college can hurt your grade. Failing to following directions
in the healthcare field can get someone killed.
What should the students expect from the professor of this class?
1. As the instructor of this class, it is my primary responsibility to organize and present course material and
evaluate student performance.
2. I will present detailed explanations and discussions of the topics listed in the official District Course
Competencies.
3. I will discuss underlying theories and relationships and help put basic course material into perspective.
4. I will present material in an organized manner according to the schedule included in this syllabus.
5. I am available for general guidance, review of class material and grades outside of class during office hours
or by appointment.
6. I will advise students and help with study skills & test preparation on a one-on-one basis if needed.
Final Thoughts: Hopefully you enjoy school and you've arranged your activities around it. This is more
difficult if you're working full-time. Stress, relationships, illness, jobs and other crises may be unavoidable and
shake you out of your "learning-centered" frame of mind. A clear, calm and focused mind should be your
"game-face" for school.
Practice stress-reduction. Keep a sense of humor. Go for a quiet walk. Read Robert Frost.
Make your College experience an opportunity to improve your mind, body and spirit.
Learn how to juggle.

Helpful Hints For Success In A&P
* Show up to class and be on time and prepared. There’s a direct correlation between test scores and
attendance. Students penalize themselves by averaging lower test scores the more they miss class. I’ll meet you
half-way to help you, but if you don’t even do the bare minimum to help yourself (like showing up), there’s
nothing any instructor can or should do to make up for it.
* Schedule your time - get a planner (they’re free from Student Life)
and prepare a detailed weekly schedule of your activities. Include time for preand post-class review & studying, family-time, work and R&R. Break your
studying into three to four 20-minute sessions with short break periods in
between at least every a day (take one day/week off though).
* Success in science courses requires good reading, study and
time-management skills. You are encouraged to develop these skills before attempting this course.
* Most learning will occur outside of this class and this requires time and effort, concentration and
work. 80% of what you learn in this class will not be learned IN the classroom.
* Plan on spending at least 8-10 hours per week outside of this class reading
assigned material, reviewing daily class notes, preparing for lab periods and writing
assignments. Note the words “at least”.
* Review notes and readings before coming to class. The surest way to remain confused throughout
lecture or lab is to come to class without having read the material. Make a few notes before class based on text
material - you will often forget questions you have during class.
* Make flashcards or other study tools to learn definitions quickly. Write a term or diagram on
one side and definition or description on the other. Also make vocabulary lists, cards or make your own short
vocabulary tests. This is a very vocabulary-heavy course – it’s like learning a new language. Regular repetition
and immersion are good ways to begin learning these terms and anatomical structures.
* Use your textbook. If you can’t find a term or structure, look it up in the index. Don’t
just look at the diagrams - read about it too. Use the text as a reference source. Explanations
in the text often give alternative names or explanatory descriptions. Yes, a picture is worth a
thousand words, but don’t ignore the words!
* Take useful notes during class (hear it, see it, write it, read it, say it, and repeat).
See the Learning Center for help or advice on taking notes in a science class like A&P.
* Review your notes after class - the same day. You should be able to make a general topic outline
of the material covered (no details, just the topics covered that day).
* Begin preparing your extra study tools (flashcards, vocabulary lists, self-tests etc). Then start
recalling “bite-size” pieces of class material and repeat them to yourself without reading them.
7
* The next day after class, review your notes again. Compare the text with your notes. Recall larger
amounts of information without reading from text or notes - close your eyes and repeat to yourself larger
chunks of information. Review your study tools more. Continue making your extra study tools or fill in your
topical outline with more details without word-for-word copying from the text or notes.
* At the end of the week, review again all the week’s notes and finish your study tools.
Prepare more self-tests and begin to “teach yourself” the material again by repeating it to yourself in large, well
organized outline formats. Eventually you should be able to put the information into context – look for
relationships to help link together what you are learning – and look for common themes in the material.
* Once you can easily define vocabulary terms and basic concepts, begin
to explain their meanings in your own words. My goal is that students should
be able to clearly explain what they have learned in this class to anyone outside of class. I
subscribe to Einstein’s notion that, “You never really understand something unless you
can explain it to your grandmother.”
* Prepare for exams wisely. Begin preparing for the exam on the first day of new
material. Use your study tools each day; prepare self-tests and practice, practice, practice.
Eat well and get a good night sleep before the test. NO CRAMMING! You will probably benefit more from a
good night of sleep than hours of frantic last-hour cramming. Relax, breathe.
* After an exam, review… Find the correct answers to the questions you missed - keep learning. See me
early if you want to review your test individually and prepare for the next one. Your exam grade is a measure of
the depth of your learning AND a measure of the effectiveness of your study habits and test preparation
skills. The latter directly affects the former. Use your exam scores to evaluate your study habits. Improve
your methods for studying and test preparation.
* Ask questions in class about confusing points in the readings or my lectures - one
of the simplest ways to learn is by asking questions. I encourage students to ask
questions, often.
* Do most of your initial studying alone, preferably where you can have an hour
or two of uninterrupted study.
* Form study groups or contact your lab partner (if they are willing & able) outside
of class to review and discuss the material each week after you have reviewed it yourself.
* The prerequisite for this course is BIO201 with a “C” or better. If you have not passed the
prerequisite courses with a C or better grade, you will be at a distinct academic disadvantage in this course.
Meet with me EARLY in the semester if you are struggling.
Bottomline:
For many students, the primary factor that determines class performance is good time management and efficient
use of study time. Don’t overload yourself but immerse yourself in the material daily, see it in everyday life and
make it part of your life. Own it. This is the first step in your upcoming career. Give yourself the best
opportunity to start off strong.
