Course Description
This is the 1st half of the Human Anatomy & Physiology lecture. You will study the basics of the cell, tissues, and some organs and systems; including integumentary system, osseous tissue, articulations, muscle tissue, neural tissue, spinal cord, and nerves, brain and cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system and special senses. The application manual provides additional information related with topics covered in class. Your professor’s notes will be posted on the web site.
General goals:
1To provide the student with a foundation in Human Anatomy and Physiology as preparation for more specialized courses in the fields of Nursing and Allied Health programs.
2You will be introduced to clinical conditions and the relationship between normal and pathological anatomy and physiology and you have to be acquainted with the mechanics of the different processes that are involved.

General course policy
Please make sure that you read everything in this handout because this is our contract and agreement with the rules of this class, as well as, sign and turn, the signature portion of it
When you sign this paper, you have agreed to abide by the course policy.
The use of telecommunications devices that include cellular phones, beepers, and PDA with Internet capabilities is not permitted.
Leaving classrooms in order to use cellular phones will be only permitted in the case of extreme emergencies.
Do not interrupt class by chatting with your classmates. The professor reserves the right to expel disrupting students from the classroom at any time, ask students to surrender their electronic devices and request disciplinary action from the Dean for Academic Affairs and even assign a failing grade to those who display such anti-pedagogic behavior
There are no make-ups for Tests.
If you miss a Test for which a medical or court excuse is provided [professional letterhead required] an incomplete grade maybe considered.
To get an incomplete grade : you need the documented excuse for your absence and pass more than 60% of the course; a signed the incomplete grade forms with the chair person and your instructor; an attachment of the professional letter will be made to your form.
Is the responsibility of the student to drop the course. Those who appear in the final grade roll and have not attended or taken the test of exams, will receive a grade of F.
Attendance and Tardiness .
Attendance is mandatory. The student is expected to attend classes regularly. If an emergency arises, the instructor expects to be contacted if you cannot attend the class. . Late arrival can be treated as an absence. It is your personal responsibility to get notes or handouts from classmates or to see the instructor during office hours for additional help. Your attendance record can affect your final grade
2 | P a g e

and your behavior in the class, your tardiness will be considered a distraction of the class.
Traveling on cruises, vacations, family reunions, weddings are not excuses. There are no make ups, NO
EXCEPTIONS
A student who is consistently absent for the classes & does not make attempts to communicate with the Instructor will be purged from the class roll after the three absences .
Four tardiness will count as one day(class) absence .
Each undocumented absence reduces your average score( grade)for that test by One point.
-Perfect attendance (zero absence,zero tardiness),will be rewarded by raising the final grade by one point.
Make-ups
There are NO MAKE-UPS for tests . THE STUDENT MUST TAKE THE FINAL TEST .
The professor will give assigned places in the lecture and will change student places during the lecture, test time or collaborative learning activities.
If the student does not show up the day of the test or is late, the grade will be Zero (F)
You are responsible for all deadlines, directions, discussions, materials, activities, assignments, or announcements covered in class, regardless of your reason for being late to class or absent.
Attendance will be checked for every lecture session. The professor reserves the right to deny entry, require withdrawal or fail students who are constantly late or have had four undocumented absences during the semester. If the student has an undocumented absence after the withdrawal deadline, the professor will assign a failing (F) grade regardless of the student's performance in the course at the time. This will be enforced according to the rules and procedures established in the current Miami-
Dade College catalog and the Student Handbook.

College Procedure for Incomplete form
PROCEDURE NUMBER: 8381 PAGE 1 of 3 PROCEDURE TITLE: Granting and Removing of
Incomplete Grades STATUTORY REFERENCE: FLORIDA STATUTE 1001.64 BASED ON POLICY:
IV-5 Student Rights and Responsibilities EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 1978 LAST REVISION DATE:
November 8, 2005 LAST REVIEW DATE: November 8, 2005
I. PURPOSE To set forth the process by which students may receive an Incomplete grade at the conclusion of a term and have an opportunity to complete the academic work in a subsequent term.
II. PROCEDURE
An incomplete grade is submitted when the student's work in a course is incomplete, and the student has obtained the instructor's permission to finish the course.
An Incomplete is normally given only where extenuating circumstances exist, or where research or performance needs to be extended beyond the normal limits of the term. If a grade
8 | P a g e

9 | P a g e of B-D is possible, this grade may be granted, even though the student and instructor may agree that a higher grade is possible with further effort on the part of the student.
Student may request a grade of Incomplete only after the drop/withdraw date has passed. The decision to grant such a request will rest with the individual course instructor. The students have an opportunity to appeal the course instructor's decision, if it is negative, to the immediate supervisor of the course instructor. This would be a one-step final appeal process.
If the decision is reached by the course instructor to grant an Incomplete, this must be accompanied by a written and signed agreement between the course instructor and the student.
The Agreement Form will contain the following points:
1. The time period in which the course requirements must be completed. As a standard rule, this work should be completed by the last day of the next major term (Fall or Winter). An extension of this time limit may be granted by the appropriate
Department Head after consultation with the instructor, if the reasons are determined to be beyond the control of the student – severe illness, accident, etc. (In the event the Incomplete grade is carried past the next major term, faculty must maintain course records for the student up until the next major term from the time at which the grade is recorded on the student transcript.)
2. The specific requirements that must be completed and the manner in which they are to be completed.(This might include some reference to grading criteria.)
3. A provision that if the requirements have not been met by the end of the next major term, a Failure will be recorded as the grade for the course. A student does not remove an Incomplete by registering in a subsequent term to re-take the course.
During the period of time before the end of the next major term, the Student Record Updating
Request Form will be initiated by the course instructor to request a change of grade following the student's completion of the work specified in the Agreement.
The Registrar's Office will provide listings of unchanged Incomplete grades to each Division
4 - 6 weeks prior to the scheduled conversion date from "I" to "F". Unless a specific request is received from the Department Head to extend the period of time beyond the next major term for particular students, the remaining Incomplete grades will automatically be converted to
"F" grades following the end of the next major term.
When a grade change is processed, the student will be notified by the Registrar's Office.
