Optional final exam: The final exam is optional. It is a cumulative exam and will cover material from the entire course. You must let me know by May 3 rd if you plan to write the optional final exam, which is scheduled for May 18 th. Please note that if you receive a grade on the optional final exam that is lower than that obtained on a previous lecture exam, this will not be counted toward the final course grade. If the grade on the optional final is higher than that obtained on a previous lecture exam, this grade will replace it. ** Prior to writing Exam 4 (if you choose not to write the optional final exam), you will be required to hand in some version of the Shields Anatomy and Physiology Lecture Book I. I will evaluate your book and assign you a grade (0-10 points). Grading will be based on how thorough you have been in filling in the required information, in addition to writing additional notes, etc. Please note that you can pick up your graded lecture book upon request. Quizzes: There will be quizzes given during the lecture periods. These quizzes will count as extra bonus points. If you are late or not present for any of the quizzes, no make ups will be given. Make-up Policy For Missed Lecture Exams: If the student has a valid excuse that is justifiable within Towson University policy guidelines (i.e. medical, death of immediate family member) as to why he/she cannot write the exam, the student will be allowed to write a make-up exam during the week of final exams. The student must notify me within 24 hours after missing the exam (telephone, voic , ) and provide me with a copy of valid documentation within 2 days of missing the exam. H1N1 Influenza Policy Statement: Students should not attend classes or other university events from the onset of flu-like symptoms until at least 24 hours after the fever subsides without the use of fever reducing medications. Such absences will be considered excused absences; however, students are responsible for the material covered during the period of their absence. The student must notify me within 24 hours after missing the exam (telephone, voic , ). You are strongly encouraged to attend every lecture. Students who miss lecture regularly usually fail the course. If you cannot attend lecture regularly, you should drop the course before the end of the add/drop period (Thursday, February 3). See laboratory syllabus for details concerning laboratory expectations.

5 Note for students planning to take Biology 214 (Human Anatomy and Physiology II)- Academic departments at Towson University are responsible for imposing and enforcing prerequisites for courses within their curricula. In the Department of Biological Sciences, the prerequisite for Biology 214 is Biology 213. Only students who have successfully completed the prerequisite (or its equivalent) with a grade of C or better will be allowed to enroll in Biology 214. If you register without meeting the prerequisite requirements, you will be removed from the class by the departmental office either between the fall and spring semesters or during the summer. Although you will be notified of this in writing, you will have to re-register for the appropriate prerequisite and you will NOT be given a priority status. The responsibility of registering to re-take the course will be your own responsibility.

H. and J. L. Nath Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology. Prentice Hall. Eighth Edition. Bring this book to every laboratory period, in addition to the Shields Anatomy and Physiology Lecture Book I. Sinclair, C.S. Anatomy and Physiology I & II (Biol 213 and Biol 214) Laboratory Manual Course On-Line: Lab syllabus, additional notes, diagrams, and pictures of laboratory models will be posted online on Blackboard. Additional Laboratory Sessions- Extra laboratory sessions will be available for you to come into the laboratory and review material. Please check the door for a posting of when these sessions will take place. It is highly encouraged that you attend as many of these as possible. Note: It is mandatory that all students attend and participate in every laboratory period to satisfy the requirements for this course. An unexcused absence will result in point reductions (up to the discretion of the instructor). Since some of the lab exercises involve the study of preserved specimens, please refer to the official University policy statement regarding students' rights and the use of these specimens in teaching (see below). Policy Regarding Students' Rights and the Use of Preserved Specimens in Teaching: Towson University recognizes the right of all students to exercise their ethical beliefs with regard to animal and human rights. No student will be required to violate his/her ethical, spiritual, or

7 religious beliefs in pursuit of education. However, the University recognizes that certain curricula require the use of preserved specimens as a necessary part of instruction, and it fully supports this practice. If the use of preserved specimens during laboratory demonstrations is a requirement for successful completion of any course, the student will be obligated to comply with those requirements, as set forth by the instructor and as stated in the course syllabus. It is not university policy to provide optional procedures for students who do not wish to comply with course requirements. Towson University has in place a mechanism to ensure that the use of preserved specimens as teaching tools meets all standards set forth by the USDA and NIH with regard to humane treatment. If any student finds the use of preserved specimens in teaching to violate his/her personal standards of ethics, this student should be apprised, beforehand, not to enroll in such courses and not to declare a major in a field which regularly requires the use of preserved specimens. Important Rules to Remember: Eating is not permitted in the lab. You may eat outside the lab. Mishandling of models is unacceptable. Please handle them with care and return them to their appropriate location at the end of each lab. Cheating Policy: Anyone caught cheating will receive the grade of "0" on the exam in question. Academic Affairs will also be notified and a letter documenting the incident will be placed on permanent record. Quizzes: There will be quizzes given during the lab periods. These quizzes will count as extra bonus points. If you are late or not present for any of the quizzes, no make ups will be given. Student Conduct: In fairness to everyone enrolled in this course, it is critical that the best possible learning atmosphere be maintained in both the lecture and lab. Please enjoy your experience in Human Anatomy and Physiology I and get the most benefit from the course you can. At all times, however, be respectful of the rights and feelings of others. Boisterous or disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. THE USE OF CELL PHONES IS PROHIBITED DURING LABS AND EXAMS. DO NOT ARRIVE LATE TO LABS OR EXAMS. Attendance will be taken at the beginning each lab. You are expected to make good use of your time in the lab and to STAY THE FULL DURATION OF THE LAB. Make-up Policy For Missed Lab Exams: There are no make-up exams given for missed lab exams. If the student has a valid excuse that is justifiable within Towson University policy guidelines (i.e. medical, death of immediate family member) as to why he/she cannot write the exam, the student will be allowed to write the exam with another lab section being taught by the instructor or TA. The student must notify the instructor within 24 hours if he/she cannot write the exam (telephone, ). In all situations described above, the student will be required to provide the instructor with a copy of valid documentation within 2 days of missing the exam. H1N1 Influenza Policy Statement: Students should not attend classes or other university events from the onset of flu-like symptoms until at least 24 hours after the fever subsides without the use of fever reducing medications. Such absences will be considered excused absences; however, students are responsible for the material covered during the period of their absence. The student must notify me within 24 hours after missing the exam (telephone, voic , ).
