Bring your laboratory manual to every lab. Make-ups are impossible to schedule. You must take the practical exams during your scheduled lab section. All lab sections are full to maximum capacity. You may not be able to take the exams in sections other than your scheduled ones. Do not eat or drink in the laboratory. Notify your instructor immediately if you are pregnant or have medical conditions that need special laboratory precautions. Wear disposable gloves when working with body fluids, dissections, or chemicals. Familiarize yourself with emergency exits, fire extinguishers and blanket, first aid kit, eyewash station, chemical shower, biohazard container, and broken glass container. Immediately notify your instructor of all spills, accidents, or damaged equipment. Properly dispose of waste material, chemicals, or body fluids as directed by your instructor. Wash your hands with soap and water before leaving the laboratory. Follow any other specific safety measures given by your instructor. 1 Allen C., Harper V. Laboratory Manual for Anatomy & Physiology, 3 rd Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Learning objectives Demonstrate understanding of how the human body acquires and transports resources needed for growth, maintenance, and reproduction, obtains energy, manages waste product, maintains a stable internal environment, protects and repairs itself, and reproduces.

4 Spring 2011 Demonstrate the ability to extract information from printed text or online resources for answering questions or solving problems relevant to the human biology. Demonstrate analytical abilities, writing skills, and listening comprehension to accurately and completely explain processes that regulate the human body. Demonstrate the ability to identify human anatomical structures on models and animal dissections. Demonstrate an understanding for functions of the human anatomical structures and the interactions among the body systems to maintain a stable internal environment. Demonstrate the ability to extract information from the laboratory manual or online resources for identifying anatomical structures and explaining their functions. Assessment of student performance Timely completion of review questions requiring extraction of information from visual and auditory online resources. Timely completion of online homework and practice assignments requiring reading and understanding of printed or electronic text. Performance on two mid-term exams and a cumulative final exam consisting of multiple choice, fill in the blank, essay questions, and review questions. Successful practices to meet the learning objectives Attend class regularly and on time. Remain attentive during lecture and lab. Participate in class discussions and laboratory activities. Read the course guidelines, and complete the review sheet assignments before coming to class. For each topic: read the textbook section, study the figures, and answer the checkpoint questions. Participate in group exercises during class. Complete the WileyPlus online homework assignments on time. Practice learning body structures and functions by using tools available on WileyPlus.

6 Spring 2011 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY 1 Cheating and plagiarism are two forms of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is a very serious issue and will not be tolerated in any of the Anatomy and Physiology classes. Cheating is taking or giving help while taking an exam (examples: swapping quizzes, talking during an exam, leaving the exam accessible to be viewed). Cheating is using notes, books or papers during an exam. Page 6 of 7

7 Cheating is obtaining or distributing or using unauthorized copies of an exam. Plagiarism is failing to give credit to the source of another person s idea or paper. If cheating or plagiarism does occur in class, the instructor will inform the student of the suspicion, charges and sanctions both orally and in a written form. If the suspicion was unfounded, the instructor will take no further action. If the suspicion is founded and the instructor and student cannot reach an agreement on a resolution, the chair of the department will refer the matter to the Vice President for Student Affairs. Possible sanctions in case of cheating or plagiarism include, but are not limited to: Receiving a grade of F for the exam or paper Receiving a grade of F for the course GRADING POLICY Grades will not be changed under any circumstances unless the instructor has made an error in calculating a grade. An incomplete is given only if the student has missed one exam and has a passing grade in the course. Instructors are not allowed to give any projects for extra credits to change a grade.
