2 Expected Student Learning Outcomes: Understand the relationships that exist between form and function with reference to the study of human anatomy and physiology Relate the organ systems of the human body to their specific homeostatic functions Demonstrate laboratory skills in anatomical dissection and observation using the cat and human cadaver, microscopy, and scientific instrumentation Use the content of this course to prepare for more advanced work in anatomy and physiology Methods of instruction lectures, laboratory exercises, small group work in lab, audio-visual materials, computer software and instructor demonstration Attendance Policy Attendance is taken each class period. Students may be withdrawn from the course by the instructor after accumulating 4 unexcused absences. If an absence is anticipated, please contact your instructor ahead of time. In case of inclement weather or emergency If you feel there is a possibility the college may cancel classes due to weather or some other event, you can tune in to WLPO 1220 AM or check the college website: * Last day to withdrawal April 9 th * Students now have the ability to initiate a withdrawal from classes.

Entering the student ID number serves as the student s electronic signature. IVCC has the right to rescind a withdrawal in cases of academic dishonesty or at the instructor s discretion. *Do not assume the instructor will withdrawal a student automatically due to lack of attendance. Students should be aware of the impact of a withdrawal on full-time status for insurance purposes and for financial aid. It is highly recommended that students meet with their instructor or with a counselor before withdrawing from a class to discuss if a withdrawal is the best course of action for that particular student. Academic dishonesty and cheating Any student caught cheating during a lecture test, lab test, quiz, or any other evaluation will receive a zero for that evaluation. Further actions may be taken as outlined in the student handbook. * Violations of the IVCC Student Code of Conduct may result in appropriate disciplinary action, including withdrawal from the course (see IVCC catalog and Student Handbook).

3 Testing Lecture tests will be given on scheduled lecture test nights during lecture. Laboratory tests will be given in the biology lab on scheduled lab test dates during you scheduled laboratory period. In general, lecture and laboratory tests are not comprehensive. However, everything you learn in one unit of this course will serve as a foundation for the next unit of material. *On Mondays when lab practicals are being taken, you are only allowed in lab during the time you are scheduled to take the test. Make-up Tests There will be a total of 4 lecture tests and 4 laboratory test during the course of the semester. If you miss a lecture or lab test and you have an excused absence, you will have 3 school days to make an appointment with your lecture or laboratory instructor to take a make-up test. The format of a make-up test will be left to the discretion of the instructor. Quizzes Quizzes may be given during lecture and laboratory sessions and may or may not be announced. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. * Missed quizzes cannot be made up.* Assignments Assignments will be given during the semester. All assignments will have specific due dates and point values. Late assignments will be penalized at a rate of up to one point per school day. Blackboard We will be using blackboard this semester. There is a link to blackboard in several places on the IVCC website. Blackboard will be used for posting announcements, assignments, quizzes, lecture power points, and your grades. User name: student K-number; password: seven-digit student number There is help available for blackboard users at the student help desk in the learning commons and online at the student help desk web-site. I am also happy to help and assist you with blackboard. In an effort to create a classroom environment that maximizes the success of all students, I encourage you to make me aware of any barriers that may inhibit your learning.
