Lecture Exams
There will be 4 lecture exams, each of which is comprehensive from the previous units. They will be multi-format (multiple choice, matching, and fill-in). Each exam has 70 questions worth 2 points each, for a total of 140 points. Each lecture exam will mainly cover the specific unit, but will also contain some questions from the previous unit. There is no extra credit in lecture or lab. No exams are dropped; they all count towards your final score.

Lecture Quizzes
There are a total of 9 lecture quizzes. Each one is 10 points, and all questions are multiple choice
(use a quiz strip). The lowest three quizzes will be dropped. You cannot make up a missed quiz.
Lab Exams
There are four lab exams and they will be administered during your regular lab section. You will be asked to identify structures on specimens, models, and slides. All lab exams are fill-in the blank.
Spelling counts
…so be sure you learn to spell the name of the structure correctly as you learn to identify it! There is no extra credit in lab. It takes several instructors many hours to set up a lab exam, so you cannot make up a missed lab exam under any circumstances
! No exams are dropped. They all count toward your final score.
Lab Quizzes (Magrann Lab)
There are 2 lab quizzes worth 10 points each. The first one will be during the muscle unit, the second one will be during the blood vessel unit.
You may NOT have your cell phone or other electronic device on your body during a test or a quiz. They must be in a purse or backpack, out of sight, and away from your reach. Having these items in your pocket or elsewhere within sight or within reach will result in a zero score on that test or quiz, even if you say you are not using them.

Attendance Policy:
Attendance in class and in lab is crucial to your success. You are expected to attend every class on time! If you are tardy or absent, please do not disturb the class to find out where we are in the lecture, or what you have missed. It is your responsibility to approach other students after class and obtain missing material. Cell phones should be placed on silent mode or turned off during class time.
It is school policy that attendance in lab is mandatory until 10pm, so attendance will be taken and a lab quiz will be given at that time.
Lecture format:
Lecture outlines are posted online on my website. Students should print the transcripts and bring them to lecture so they can just add a few notes when I give you study tips. Printing the PPT slides is not necessary. All quiz and exam test questions are contained within the flashcards posted on my website.
Lab format:
In lab, we will be dissecting cats and sheep organs (heart, eye, brain), observing human cadavers and models, viewing histology slides under the microscope, and becoming familiar with the structures associated with feline and human anatomy. In order to optimize the limited time we have for lab, it is very important that you read the lab exercise before attending lab. Please be certain you come prepared and that you have all the materials necessary for lab before lab begins. If you do not have the proper safety attire (lab coat and closed toed shoes), you will be dismissed from lab and not allowed to participate.
Drop policy:
If you decide to drop the class, it is your responsibility to make sure that you drop the course in
Banner. If you stop attending and do not drop, you will be given the grade you earned, which is usually an F. This grade remains on your transcript even if you retake the class in the future. Please don’t put yourself into this position!! Drop deadlines are posted on line in the class schedule.
Last date to add: September 5, 2014
Last Date to drop without a "W": September 8, 2014
Last Date to drop with a "W": October 31, 2014

Accommodation of Disabilities:
Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with disabilities. Please consult with me immediately if you have a documented disability with DSPS so that we can arrange for accommodations.
POLICY:
 No dictionaries, reference materials, notes, or programmable calculators may be used during any exam or quiz unless authorized by the professor.
 No electronic devices, of any type, may be used during any exam or quiz unless authorized by the professor. Electronic devices include, but are not limited to: cell phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants, earphones, cameras, MP3 players, translation devices, and electronic dictionaries.
 No talking, signalling, sharing of note cards, calculators or other materials is allowed during any exam or quiz, unless authorized by the professor.
 Only the materials required or authorized for an exam or quiz should be taken out of your notebook, backpack, pocket, or purse. All other materials should be put away as instructed, including electronic devices.
 Students may not leave the classroom during an exam or quiz unless authorized by the professor. If a student leaves the room without permission, the test or quiz will be forfeited at that time.
 This policy will be strictly enforced by all professors in all classes taught in the Department.
CONSEQUENCES:
 A single act of cheating or academic dishonesty in any form will result in a zero on that test.
 Action taken by the professor will be consistent with the college policy on cheating and academic dishonesty. In addition, a report regarding the violation will be submitted to the
Director of Student Life for further action, which may also result in further disciplinary action, including, but not limited to suspension or expulsion from the college.
WHAT IS CHEATING?
