COURSE INFORMATION Biology 224 Anatomy & Physiology Spring, 2015 INSTRUCTOR: Renee Magrini OFFICE: Bristlecone 324 OFFICE PHONE: 445-3280 (I will check voice mail once daily, except weekends and holidays, and return calls within 24-48 hrs). e-mail: renee.magrini@wnc.edu (I will check e-mail once daily and reply within 24-48 hrs). OFFICE HOURS: 1:00-2:00 p.m. Mon-Thur; 3:00-4:00 p.m. Tue. And Thur.; or by appointment. ATTENDANCE: It is your responsibility to attend all lecture and laboratory sessions. Attendance will be recorded in both lecture and lab. Attendance in lecture is particularly important because exam questions will come from lecture material. Attendance in the laboratory is mandatory because lab assignments and exams are generally of a practical nature and cannot be made up. Attendance will be recorded at the beginning of class. Each class will be worth 2 points if you are present at the start time for the class. If you arrive late, leave early, or leave any time during class, only 1 point will be earned. If you are late and miss the taking of attendance, be sure to see me AFTER CLASS, so I can mark you present. If you fail to do so, you will be marked absent irreversibly. There will be a total of 30 classes during the semester, for a total of 60 attendance points possible. Throughout the semester, a total of 3 absences or 6 tardies or any combination totaling 6 points will be excused. All additional absences or tardies will diminish your attendance grade. Attendance in lecture is worth 50 points toward your lecture average. Attendance in lab will be calculated in the same manner as lecture, except that there are 14 labs in the semester. Each lab will be worth 2 points toward your attendance grade for a grand total of 28 points. Throughout the semester, a total of 1 absence and 1 tardy will be excused for a total of 3 points. All additional absences or tardies will diminish your lab attendance grade. Attendance in lab is worth 50 points toward your lab average. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION: Primarily lecture, however, videos may be shown occasionally. I will also lecture during the first part of the lab, after which I will supervise students during hands-on lab activities. EXAMS AND GRADING: Lecture and laboratory must be taken concurrently. The lecture portion of the course will account for 3/4 of your total grade, and the laboratory 1/4. Lecture Exams: Four (4) lecture exams, at 100 points each, will be given during the course of the semester. Each will be non-comprehensive, covering the material for that section only. Total points possible for lecture
exams = 400 points. Makeup exams will only be given to students with a valid doctor's excuse stating that either the student or his/her child was ill. If you must miss an exam for a valid reason other than illness, i.e. an important business trip or a mandatory meeting, you must submit proper documentation, and you must make arrangements with me in advance, and I will schedule a makeup date. YOU CANNOT MAKE-UP/RESCHEDULE MORE THAN ONE EXAM!! Lecture Quizzes: Ten (10) online quizzes will be given during the semester. Each quiz will cover the material from one chapter in the textbook. Each quiz will be 25 points. Total points possible for lecture quizzes = 250 points. Laboratory Quizzes and Exams: Two (2) major lab exams and will be given in lab during the semester. Lab exams will consist of both written and visual identification questions. The lab exams will each be worth 100 points. HOMEWORK: Your homework assignments are found on the Pearson website Mastering A&P. Each chapter will have a corresponding assignment to be completed on MAP. The homework assignment will be due one week after the completion of the corresponding chapter in lecture. You must complete the homework from Chapters 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, and 27 to receive full credit. Homework is worth 100 points toward your lecture average. Lab Homework assignments are the Review sheets found at the end of each lab exercise. You will complete the review sheet after each lab exercise and turn it in the following week. You must complete Review Sheet 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 42 to receive full credit. Lab Homework is worth 50 points toward your lab average. TEXTBOOK: Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine Marieb & Katja Hoehn. 9th Edition. ISBN#: 978-0-321-74326-8 LABORATORY MANUAL: Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, Cat Version by Elaine Marieb & Susan Miller. 11th Edition. ISBN # 978-0-321-82184-3 Academic Dishonesty (Cheating): Cheating includes but is not limited to: looking at another student s quiz, lab practical or exam; looking at one s notes or textbook while taking a quiz (including online quizzes) or exam; plagiarizing another student s homework; and plagiarizing copyrighted material. All students found cheating will be expelled from the class. COMPUTING YOUR GRADE: Your final grade will be calculated using the following formula: Step 1: Calculate your lecture average. Lecture exams (400 points possible), Online quizzes (250 points possible), Homework (100 points possible), Attendance (50 points possible). Total points possible for lecture = 800
To calculate your lecture average, add up your four lecture exams, homework, and attendance and divide this sum by 800. Hypothetical Example: 85 (Ex. 1) 90 (Ex. 2) 92 (Ex. 3) 88 (Ex. 4) 224 (Quiz total) 48 (Attn) 99 (Hmwk) 726 726/800 = 0.907 X 100 = 90.7% 91% Step 2: Calculate your lab average. Add up your scores on the two lab exams (2 X 100 points), homework (50 points), and attendance(50 points). Then divide by the total points possible (300 points). Hypothetical Example: 89 (Lab Ex. 1) 86 (Lab Ex. 2) 47 (Attn) 50 (Hmwk) 272 272/300 = 0.907 X 100 = 90.7% 91% Step 3: Calculate your final average. Use the following formula: (3 x lecture average %) + lab avg % = x x/4 = final course average (%) Hypothetical Example: (3 X 90%) + (91%) =361 361/4 = 90% (final avg) Grade = A- If your final average is: Grade Grade Points 93-100...A 4.0 90-92...A- 3.7 87-89...B+ 3.3 83-86...B 3.0 80-82...B- 2.7 77-79...C+ 2.3 73-76...C 2.0 70-72...C- 1.7 67-69...D+ 1.3 63-66...D 1.0 60-62...D- 0.7 59...W 0 THIS GRADING SCALE IS ABSOLUTE--THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY!
