DISSECTION KIT / SAFETY GOGGLES. For the kit, no scalpels or razor blades allowed. Students with prescription classes can use them as protection 6. DISPOSABLE VINYL OR NITRILE GLOVES. NO LATEX GRADING: Your grade in the course will be computed as follows: Lecture: 4 Examinations @ 100 points = 400 points Laboratory: 2 Practical Exams, quizzes, etc*= 400 points TOTAL 800 points (*elaborated in laboratory specific portion of syllabus): Grades will be assigned according to the following scale: 800-720=A; 719-640=B; 639-560=C; 539-480=D; below 480=F. Some upward adjustment may be done at the end. HONORS LECTURE EXAMINATIONS: There will be four lecture examinations of one hour and 15 minutes duration (you will have 2 hours for the final examination). The last lecture exam is given during the final exam period and covers material introduced between the third exam through the last day of class. You will receive honors credit for the entire course by taking the 4 honors lecture exams in place of the 4 regular lecture exams ; the lab will be exactly the same work with exactly the same requirements as the regular sections. The 4 honors lecture exams (3 night exams + a final ) will be worth 100 points each. Each honors exam will be comprised of 30 multiple choice questions identical to those asked of the regular sections worth 1.6 points each +20 multiple choice questions that are honors questions worth 1.6 points each + 1 essay question worth 20 points. The honors multiple choice questions will be either more challenging questions over the regular material or will be over extra readings assigned to the honor sections that the regular sections are not responsible for. The essay question will be over additional readings to be assigned throughout the course and or more in depth knowledge of the regular material. A couple of days before each exam, 4 of the possible essay questions will be released to you. You will have about 48 hours to prepare answers to each question. At the exam, one of the 4 questions for which you should have prepared an answer will be assigned to you. Honors students will be given 1.5 hours to complete their exams rather than shorter time of 1 hour and 15 minutes for all those taking the regular lecture exams EXAM DATES: EXAM 1: Thursday, February 6, 2014, from 7-8:15 PM EXAM 2: Thursday, February 27, 2014, from 7-8:15 PM EXAM 3: Thursday, April 3, 2014 from 7-8:15 PM EXAM 4: Is the Final Exam: Morning Lecture Section: Friday May 2, 12:30-2:30 PM in HELD 200 Afternoon Lecture Section: Tuesday May 6, 1:00-3:00 PM in HELD 200 MAKE-UP EXAMS
In order to make up a missed lecture exam, you must: 1. Contact me within 48 hours by email. 2. Present written evidence that you unavoidably missed the exam for reasons authorized by Texas A&M University regulations. Without a university-approved, excused, verifiable absence, a ZERO will be recorded for the missed exam. Make-up exams will consist of very short essay (no more than 5 sentences) and or fill in the blank and or short answer and must be taken at the makeup exam times noted below. Notification of a legitimate verifiable forthcoming university excuse must be provided within 48 hours of the missed exam time. The written excuse itself must be provided within 5 business days after the missed exam date. If you miss Exam 4 for a University approved excuse,an I will be assigned for the course until you take the makeup exam. Missing the final exam because of a University approved excuse is the only reason I will assign a grade of I. An exam grade of ZERO will be recorded for any student who has missed the last exam and has not contacted me within 48 hours. Make up exam times: for Exam 1, February 20; for Exam 2, March 27; for Exam 3, April 24, starting at 5:30 PM and ending at 6:30 PM (1 hour) in HELD 200. Makeup exams are 25 fill in the blank and or short answer very short essay questions worth 4 points each instead of 50 multiple choice questions worth 2 points each. Only students who meet the conditions described above will be allowed to take a makeup. Note: I do not accept the Texas A & M University Explanatory Statement of Absence Form as an adequate verification for an absence. You must provide a verifiable excuse from a medical health professional (physician, physician s assistant, nurse practitioner, etc.). All documented excuses are checked for authenticity. Invalid notes are considered an honor board violation. IMPORTANT: For excused absences (lab and lecture), you must contact the instructor to arrange a makeup within 48 hours. Make ups must be scheduled within 5 days or you will receive a ZERO for the assignment.

By "materials," I mean all materials generated for this class, which include but are not limited to syllabi, lecture notes, quizzes, exams, lab problems, in-class materials, review sheets, and additional problem sets. Because these materials are copyrighted, you do not have the right to copy them, unless I expressly grant permission. As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one's own ideas, words, writing, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you should have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues that allows information to be honestly communicated. If you have any questions regarding plagiarism, please consult the latest issue of the Texas A&M University Student Rules, under the section "Scholastic Dishonesty." Items on this portion of the syllabus may be changed at the discretion of the instructor. Changes may be announced in lecture and may not be posted on WebCT.

Biology 319 Laboratory Syllabus Spring 2014 Heldenfels Room 301 Section: Day: Time: TA: Email: Office Hours (BSBW 119): Required Materials 1. Human Anatomy and Physiology, 9 th Ed. (Marieb and Hoehn) 2. Biology 319: Integrated Human Anatomy & Physiology I (1 st Edition) (ISBN # 978-0- 7380-5973-0) 3. Dissection kit (The Zoology or Anatomy kit from the bookstore will do. You will need forceps, scissors and a probe. If you bring a scalpel to the lab, it will be confiscated.) 4. Powder-free, nitrile or vinyl gloves (You are not permitted to have powdered or latex gloves) 5. Closed-toed shoes 6. Goggles/safety glasses for dissections Attendance Policy Laboratory attendance is extremely important. No makeup opportunities will be available for missed material, quizzes, or practical exams unless the lab coordinator, Stacy Stoops, is notified within 48 hours and an authorized University excuse is provided by the student. The student written Explanatory Statement for Absence from Class from the Student Health Center will not be accepted as an excuse. You must email Stacy Stoops (sstoops@bio.tamu.edu) AND cc your TA with: your name, course #, section #, lab day/time and your schedule within 48 hours of missing lab. Documentation for excused absences should be taken to Stacy Stoops (office: Heldenfels 307) for verification in order to schedule makeup work (NO electronic notes will be accepted). After you have sent Stacy Stoops an email with all of the above information and your excuse has been verified, you will be assigned a make-up lab if room is available. For make-ups, no student may attend more than 2 out-of-section labs per semester. Students who miss two labs must provide written evidence they have met with and discussed the situation with the lecturer before he/she may attend lab. Make-ups must be scheduled and completed by Friday the week of the absence. Make-ups may contain essay questions and make-ups might not contain the same proportions of material as the normal assignment or quiz. Zeroes will be recorded for any missed material without an excuse. **Please note: If a lab is full to fire code capacity, we cannot allow another student to attend that lab; even if you have a university excuse. Grading The laboratory portion of this course comprises 50% of your overall course grade and passing grade in the course requires a minimum of 200 of the 400 lab points. Laboratory points are added to lecture points to determine final grades in the course. Students are responsible for everything in the lab manual (including any information in parentheses), everything distributed in the lab or posted on the course website. Students are required to learn both the name of specific structures and the name of any larger structure it is a part of (e.g., the styloid process of the temporal bone). For cranial nerves, always give name and number. Half point partial credit will not be given on quizzes or practical exams. Lab points may be deducted for lack of participation, absence during any portion of a lab, unsafe practices, violation of laboratory policy, or unacceptable behavior.
Students must notify their lab instructor in writing of any lab grade discrepancies within 7 days of said grade/score being posted on ecampus. Quizzes Quizzes are given to ensure that students attend lab, are prepared to participate and ensure that students study the lab material on a regular basis. 9 quizzes worth 15 points each* will be given. A practice quiz, which will not count toward your grade, will be given during the first lab meeting. Quizzes will contain an 8 point preparatory portion and a 7 point cumulative review portion*. The preparatory portion will consist of material from reading assignments for that day s lab meeting (not the previous completed labs). The cumulative review portion will consist of material from previous weeks labs, but will be weighted toward material from the previous lab meeting. Your quizzes for the muscle portion of the lab will be half muscle image identification and half AOIs. Cumulative review material for the quizzes following the first practical will not come directly from material covered on the first practical, although any material revisited in the second half of the semester is fair game for cumulative portions of later quizzes. The 130 quiz points will constitute 33% of your laboratory grade. * Quiz 6 will contain a 10 point preparatory portion and no cumulative review questions. Practical Exams Two laboratory practical examinations will be given; 100 questions worth one point each at twenty-five stations throughout the laboratory. Students will rotate between stations in 3 minute intervals. Practical 1 will cover labs 1-5 and practical 2 will cover labs 6-10. There will be 5 stations (20 questions) per lab. In other words, stations 1-5 will cover material from lab 1; stations 6-10 will cover material from lab 2. You will not be permitted to revisit any station. No electronic devices will be allowed with students during tests. These 2 practical exams, worth 100 points each (200 points total), will constitute 50% of the total laboratory grade. PowerLabs Three physiology PowerLabs will be graded during the semester. Each PowerLab (excluding the Introduction to PowerLab training exercise worth 10 points) will be worth 20 points. Completion of the PowerLab will include (among other items deemed appropriate): attending lab for each PowerLab exercise, filling in all graphs and charts and answering all PowerLab handout questions using complete sentences. Please note that you need to answer questions in complete sentences and using scientific terms (both anatomical and physiological). Completed PowerLab questions will be due at the beginning of the next lab. We will not accept any late PowerLab questions, no exceptions!! The three PowerLab exercises (50 points total) will constitute 13% of your laboratory grade. Regrading Assignments are photocopied before they are returned to the students. If a student wishes to challenge a grade they must do so within 48 hours of receiving the graded assignment/practical back. A grade challenge form must then be turned in with the assignment for a complete regrade. A student must make no changes to the assignment before it is submitted for re-grading. Scantrons Each student is required to supply 4 grey scantron forms to be given to your TA by the 2 nd lab. Failure to turn in scantrons will result in a reduction of TA points. Lecture & Lab Website Grades will be posted only in the BlackBoard Vista grade book at http://ecampus.tamu.edu.
Dissection/Participation Laboratory exercises have been planned to fully utilize the entire lab meeting. Since the opportunity to review is minimal, students must maximize use of lab time and complete the exercise during the allotted time. Students will work in groups of 4 during every lab period. Every member of a team is expected to participate. Lab spaces should be left clean for the next section and histology slides should be placed back in the boxes. Specimens, models, and other lab material must be handled with great care. 20 TA points will be given for cleanliness, participation and completion of the exercises. Participation also includes supplying the required scantrons on time and showing up to every lab prepared to participate (i.e. studying for every quiz). Safety All students must follow the lab safety procedures. Safety procedures will be explained to students on the first day of lab. All students must sign acknowledging that safety procedures have been explained and will be followed. Any student not following safety procedures will be asked to leave the lab with a possible loss of points. Each student must complete the Texas A&M University online LSA (lab safety agreement) before the second lab period. Failure to do so will result in a reduction of TA and quiz points, and you will not be able to return to lab until you have completed this. Proper Animal Tissue Disposal In the 319 lab room (HELD 301) you will find a silver trash can labeled "for animal tissue only". This silver trash can is further labeled "not for paper or gloves". These silver trash cans must contain all of the animal tissue waste produced in the lab and must only hold animal tissues. Helpful Websites 1.
