Like ANP 213, this is a very difficult class that
requires learning what is essentially a new
language
The class is designed by the college as an
overview: lots of breadth, little depth
Expect 20+ hours of reading and studying
each week in addition to class sessions
The pace is a little frantic so missing class is
not recommended.
Exams (TTh class):
Five exams, all on Thursdays
1/17 Th Exam 1 (Chaps 16, 17) 75 pts
1/31 Th Exam 2 (Chaps 18, 19) 75 pts
2/14 Th Exam 3 (Chaps 20-22) 75 pts
2/28 Th Exam 4 (Chaps 23, 24) 75 pts
3/20 Th FINAL (Chaps 25 - 27) 100 pts

A little more than half “objective” questions:
multiple-choice, matching, true/false
The rest: fill-in-the-blank, short answer, short
essay, and diagram labeling
You will need a Scantron form and a #2
pencil for each exam.
Not cumulative per se
Exams


Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up
due to tardiness or absence. Students with
extraordinary circumstances should discuss
them with the instructor as soon as the
situation occurs.
If you know ahead of time that you will miss
an exam for a valid reason, we can make
arrangements but let me know as far ahead
of time as possible.
Lectures



Lecture slides available on course website
before lecture (but maybe just before)
Do not cover ALL the material on exams (but
everything comes from either the notes, or
something I say in lectures)
“Objectives” available at the beginning of
each unit are a guide for what to study, but
the lecture notes are your primary resource
Objectives



List of learning goals that need to be
achieved for you to do well in this class
Contains what the college has deemed to be
the most important things for you to know to if
you go on in a health-related career.
Available online on the course website at the
beginning of each unit
Attendance

Students should attend every class session.
If you miss a class session, it is your
responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to
reschedule laboratory experiments and to
obtain handouts, assignments or other
materials distributed in class. ESPECIALLY
because we meet only twice a week.
Quizzes


Quizzes may cover material presented in lab
or lecture.
There will a quiz every week in which there is
not an exam (except today)



Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11
Quizzes may not be rescheduled or made-up
due to tardiness or absence (NO
EXCEPTIONS)
Your lowest quiz score will be dropped
Quizzes



All quizzes will be written (short answer,
multiple choice, fill in) based on lecture and
lab material
Thursdays at the start of lecture in non test
weeks
20 points each, total of 120, lowest score
dropped = 100 points counted
Lab Practicals 

There will be two lab practicals, each worth
50 points, given in week 6 and week 12.
Consult the Lab Practical Study Guide in
the syllabus for details on what you are
expected to know for each.
Assignments



TBD
Case studies, or take-home written
assignments
50 points (we will do 3-5 of them)
Labs



Most laboratory exercises must be completed
in the laboratory. Students who miss a
laboratory exercise must schedule a makeup session with me or come in during open
lab time to get credit for that exercise.
Lab exercises will be due the following week
in lab.
Labs can be difficult when they come
BEFORE the lecture each week.
