ATTENDANCE

Please read carefully the official attendance policy  on page 30 of the college catalog.  Absences due to school-sponsored trips are not counted and all work including homework may be made up. All other absences including sickness ARE counted. The maximum number of absences for night classes is expected to be 2. Students with excessive absences will be cut out. 

 

Attendance will be checked at the beginning of each class. If you come in less than 20 minutes late and wish to be marked present, you are required to turn in a tardy slip before leaving the classroom. I will have a supply of these in the classroom, or you may use your own paper. You must include name, date, time of arrival, and reason for being late.  Missing more than 20 minutes of a class or lab will be counted as an absence, and no tardy slip is required in this case.

 

Hour exams missed due to unavoidable circumstances may be made up. There will be one makeup day  DURING  FINALS for all makeup tests, both lab and lecture. Although makeup exams may differ from exams given at the scheduled time, it is YOUR responsibility to leave the classroom while the class is going over returned papers for an exam you missed.      

 

WITHDRAWAL POLICY 

Classes may be dropped during the first two weeks. No withdrawals after that until the 9th week. If you stop attending, a grade of F is recorded, but if you withdraw before the end of the semester it will be changed to a W. See your instructor for a withdrawal form.

 

OBJECTIVES

The student will gain insight into the functioning of the human body based on knowledge of the body’s structure, both microscopic and macroscopic. The student will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the structural components and physiological processes of the special senses, the  endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems as well as an understanding of metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance and acid-base control.

 

SCANTRON SHEETS AND HOUR EXAMS

Students must bringone large Scantron sheet for each hour exam. One large Scantron sheet and one small sheet will be required for the final. Remember that the bookstore closes at 4:00 after the first week of classes, so be sure and take care of this ahead of time.

 

The student will be expected to demonstrate knowledge of the scientific data included in the objectives of this course by scoring at least 70% on teacher-made tests including both objective and subjective questions.  Five hour exams and a final exam will be given, each including the following material:

     1st Chapter 17                               Final exam---Chapters 26 - 29 plus comprehensive

     2nd Chapters 18 & 19                                           questions from previous chapters

     3rd Chapters 20 & 21

     4th Chapters 22 & 23

     5th Chapters 24 & 25

 

 

Grades will be determined as follows:

     A  90 - 100

     B  80 - 89

     C  70 - 79

     D  65 - 69

     F  64 or below     

Please keep a record of your grades. I do not do averages until all work is complete. However, I do plan to post hour exam grades on Blackboard as soon as I have them graded.

 

You will receive 1 final  grade which includes both lab and lecture.

*         50 %   average of 5 hour exams and your homework/quiz grade

*         30 %   lab grade

*         20 %   final exam, which will be comprehensive

You will have regular homework assignments which will be graded. Short quizzes (both assigned and surprises) will be given in class. You must be on time to receive credit for homework.  At the end of the semester I will drop your 3 lowest grades on homework/quizzes and average the rest. This will count the same as one hour exam. Homework and quizzes are not made up, so regular attendance is essential. The only exception to this is for school-sponsored absences.
