2 Exemplary Educational Objectives: The objective of the study of a natural sciences component of a core curriculum is to enable the student to understand, construct, and evaluate relationships in the natural sciences, and to enable the student to understand the basis for building and testing theories. The exemplary educational core objectives for natural sciences are: 3.1 to understand and apply method and appropriate technology to the study of natural sciences; 3.2 to recognize scientific and quantitative methods and the differences between theses approaches and other methods of inquiry and to communicate findings, analyses, and interpretation both orally and in writing; 3.3 to identify and recognize the differences among competing scientific theories; 3.4 to demonstrate knowledge of the major issues and problems facing modern science, including issues that touch upon ethics, values, and public policies; 3.5 to demonstrate knowledge of the interdependence of science and technology and their influence on, and contribution to, modern culture. Evaluation and Grading Policy: A. Lecture: 75% of the final course grade. 3 major examinations and a comprehensive final exam (4th) will constitute 75 % of the final course grade. Scantrons will be needed and a Bluebook may be needed. B. Laboratory: 25 % of the final course grade o 4 lab practicals 80.0% of lab grade o Lab reports/quizzes/ participation 20.0% of lab grade Lab-associated Make-up Work: o Any lab practical missed will result in a grade of 0. If you know ahead of time about a conflict, it may be possible to schedule it with another section. o Late lab reports will not be accepted regardless of reason. A quiz may be given at the beginning of the lab, covering the material from the previous lab. These cannot be made up. o Reminder to all Students Concerning the Laboratory Portion of the Course ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK CAN BE BROUGHT INTO THE LAB. PLEASE CONSUME ALL FOOD AND DRINK BEFORE YOU ENTER THE LAB. To make the most of your laboratory experience, you will need to read each laboratory exercise PRIOR to attending lab each day. Familiarize yourself with all relevant terms and be sure that you have a general understanding of the objectives of each exercise. Portions of the Lab Assessment may be assigned to be completed before lab and will be checked for completion at the beginning of the lab period. The remaining laboratory exercise will be completed during the lab period. Turn in the entire lab assessment at the end of lab unless otherwise instructed. Keep up with all returned lab reports. Place them in a folder so you can use them to study from for the lab practicals. Dissections will be performed during the semester. Dissecting materials will be supplied except gloves. Each student will be required to bring 2 rolls of paper towels for lab. Each student will also be required to bring gloves for dissections.

3 C. Course grades will be determined as follows: = A = D = B 59.9 and < = F = C Please note: o You will be given opportunities for bonus points; therefore, the above numerical grade scale will be followed as shown, and no curve applied. o Due to FERPA,student privacy regulations, you will need to provide a written note listing anyone who will be allowed to pick up your work. D. Last Day to Drop the Course: o The last day to drop the course with a grade of W is Thursday, April 10. o If circumstances require you to withdraw from this course, you must do so by that date. It is the student s responsibility to initiate the withdrawal with the registrar s office. Lab Schedule: This is posted on Blackboard. All schedules for this semester are approximate and may be changed as needed. Student Responsibilities/Expectations: 1. All students must purchase their own lab manual. Even if you have taken the class before and have a lab manual from that time period, you MUST buy a new lab manual for this class. You CANNOT simply photocopy Lab Exercises or Lab Reports from someone else's lab book. 2. Bring the following materials to class: Your lab manual; Your textbook; 2 rolls of paper towels and a box of non-latex gloves (can be found at WalMart or Brookshires). The paper towels and gloves are a one-time expenditure. 3. NO EATING OR DRINKING IN THE LAB. You will be asked to put your food/drink into the trash if you bring it into the lab. If you are a repeat offender, you will be asked to leave the laboratory and you will receive a zero for that lab exercise. This is a matter of safety and good laboratory technique. 4. Lab Reports are due WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES at the next Lab meeting unless otherwise instructed. There is no such thing as a "late" Lab Report - you either turn it in WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES at the next lab meeting time or you receive a zero. Lab Reports should be completed in either blue or black ink, or pencil. No other colors or materials will be accepted. Please remove the tear out tabs on the left side of each lab page AND staple your Lab Report. Lab Reports turned in with the tear out tabs attached, in anything other than blue or black ink or pencil, or not stapled together when there are multiple pages, or without a name, will not be graded and you will receive a zero. 5. Raise your hand if you have a question or comment. Be polite in how you address me and your fellow classmates. If anyone gets out of line, I will ask them to leave the classroom. They will receive a zero on that lab exercise. I will address you politely, and expect you to do the same. You are adults and will be treated as such.

4 6. NO CELL PHONE USAGE IN THE LABORATORY! NO TEXTING! NO COMPUTER USE DURING LAB TIME! Devices will be confiscated for the lecture or lab period if you attempt to use them. 7. Lab time is not over until the class is dismissed. There will be no leaving lab "early." If you finish your Lab Report early, then I expect you to study earlier lab or lecture material. Anatomy and Physiology are challenging subjects that require an incredible amount of concentration and practice. Use any 'extra' lab time to practice terminology/spelling/concepts/review last labs, or AP lecture class notes. 8. Towards the end of the lab period, you will be reminded to clean your lab station, put away microscopes, put any slides back in the correct boxes, etc. You will not be allowed to leave until your station is pristine and lab materials and equipment have been cleaned and correctly put away. 9. LABORATORY PRACTICAL EXAMS ARE NOT TO BE MISSED. PERIOD. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE REASON FOR MISSING A LAB PRACTICAL EXAM IS IF EITHER YOU OR A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER (SPOUSE, CHILD, PARENT, SIBLING) ARE HOSPITALIZED. A DOCTOR'S NOTE ON THE DOCTOR'S LETTERHEAD IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO BE ALLOWED TO TAKE A MAKE-UP EXAM. PERIOD. 10. Laboratory Attendance: Laboratory attendance is MANDATORY 11. ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVICALLY NO CHEATING ON LECTURE EXAMS, LAB EXERCISES, LAB REPORTS, OR LAB PRACTICAL EXAMS. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHEATING YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION. See "Academic Ethics" below. 12. NO WHINING! Talking negatively about other faculty or your classmates will not be tolerated in class. Neither will complaints about what I ask you to do be tolerated. NO WHINING!!! 13. NO TARDINESS!!! Get to class on time. LAB PRACTICALS WILL START ON TIME. THE DOOR WILL BE LOCKED, SO IF YOU ARE NOT ON TIME, YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO. NO EXCEPTIONS. 14. SPELLING: IF YOU MISSPELL A WORD YOU WILL LOSE POINTS ON BOTH YOUR LAB REPORTS (entire answer will be counted wrong) AND LAB PRACTICAL EXAMS (0.5 pts per two point question). You are going into professional fields where precision is vital. Terminology and its usage is key to success in anatomy and physiology coursework! 15. LAB PRACTICALS (LAB PRACTICAL EXAMS) WILL BE ALL FILL IN THE BLANK. MISSPELLED WORDS WILL COST YOU POINTS. 16. No sleeping in class. You will be asked to leave class for that day after having been reminded once. 17. OFFICE HOURS: By appointment, or stop by my office during office hours (see my schedule at top of this document). Please contact me either in class or via Eagle Mail (kcarter@ntcc.edu) to schedule a time for us to meet. Or, you may stop by during office hours to set a time to get together. I want to see you succeed so DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH CLASS MATERIAL.

Family Educational Rights And Privacy Act (FERPA): The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children s educational records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are considered eligible students. In essence, a parent has no legal right to obtain information concerning the child s college records without the written consent of the student. In compliance with FERPA, information classified as directory information may be released to the general public without the written consent of the student unless the student makes a request in writing. Directory information is defined as: the student s name, permanent address and/or local address, telephone listing, dates of attendance, most recent previous education institution attended, other information including major, field of study, degrees, awards received, and participation in officially recognized activities/sports. ABSOLUTELY NO BIOLOGICAL MODELS OR DISSECTING SPECIMENS MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE LABORATORY AT ANY TIME.
