Attendance


You have to be here to learn! Mastering a
science is difficult when lecture and labs are not
experienced first hand.
If you are absent, it is your responsibility to
gather handouts missed or schedule any makeup work.
Missed Exam
Do NOT miss an exam day!
 If absent, a written explanation from a
parent is required to verify the reason for
your absence. A phone number is also
needed so I can call home to validate your
explanation.
 Be prepared all the time!

Academic Dishonesty
No one likes a cheater
Cell Phones



If you like your cell phone, keep it out
of sight! The use of cell phones will
result in losing it for the day.
Cell phones are a major distraction
and their use disrespectful if done at
inappropriate times. Wait until the bell.
Cell phones out during a quiz or exam
will result in a ZERO. I will assume
cheating!
Human and Animal Materials

This course focuses on
anatomy and physiology
of the human body…. the
use of human and animal
materials facilitates the
learning experience.
Cadavers



We will have an opportunity to observe
cadaver dissection demonstrations.
This will occur at the end of the year when we
will be able to apply all of the information
we’ve learned so far.
The field trip is not required but recommended
as it is a great learning experience.
Learning Center


There are free tutors
available at the
Chandler-Gilbert
Community College.
Great opportunity but a
long distance away.

You will be on time.
 You will be prepared for the day.
 You will be highly motivated to learn.
 You will actively engage in your learning.
When you participate, everyone benefits.
 You will respect me and one another.


Your Expectations of Me …
I will do the best I can to prepare a
meaningful lesson each day.
 I will be clear in my teaching.
 I will be fair and free of any bias.
 I will be available outside of class when
you need additional help.

do! You will be my “Mini-Me” when done.
