Office Hours: Monday Thursday: 4:00 5:00 pm Monday & Wednesday: 12:30 1:00 pm Course Description: A study of the structures of the human body. Lectures emphasize structures of all the systems of the human body, with correlation to relevant physiology and clinical pathology. Laboratory work includes physical and microscopic study of these structures using models, animal dissections, and tissue slides. Major Divisions Topics covered, including lecture/laboratory hours (hours are approximate and may change during the semester) Lecture Laboratory Tissues/Integumentary System 4 6 Skeletal System 6 8 Muscular System 6 9 Nervous System 6 6 Sense Organs 3 2 Endocrine 1 1 Cardiovascular System 8 6 Respiratory System 4 2 Digestive System 5 3 Urinary System 3 3 Reproductive System 2 2 Grades: Grades will be based on: Unit exams = 30% (3 unit exams, each =10% of total), Quizzes = 30%, / Homework / Participation = 25%, and Final Exam = 15%. Grade Scale: A 95% B+ 87-89% C + 77-79% D 65-69% F < 65% A- 90-94% B 85-86% C 75-76% B- 80-84% C- 70-74% Lab Attendance: Attendance in labs and lectures is required. Absences, whether unexcused or excused, will negatively affect your participation grade. Absences will only be excused if they are reported to the instructor in advance of an expected absence. If an emergency arises, which results in an excused absence, the student must notify the instructor within 24 hours of the missed class. Due to the limited class time for labs, assignments missed during an excused absence can only be made up during the other lab session that week. Assignments missed for an unexcused absence cannot be made up. **Cell phone use is prohibited during class - students using phones will be asked to leave.
Late Assignments: Assignments are due at the beginning of the class on the due date. If an assignment is turned in after that time (even later in the class) it is considered late. The first late assignment will be accepted without any point deduction if it is turned in by the next class. A second late assignment will be worth ½ of the total points if turned in by the next class. Any late assignments after 2 will not be accepted for any credit. Any assignment turned in more than one week after the due date will not be accepted and will not be graded for any credit. Assignments due on the day of an unexcused or planned absence are considered late unless turned in before the time they are due. Exams: There will be 3 unit exams during the semester and one final exam. Tentative exam dates are listed on the schedule, but changes to the dates may be announced in class if necessary. **Anyone who will miss an exam for an excused absence must notify me IN ADVANCE to have the possibility of a make-up exam.** If an exam is missed for a medical reason, a doctor s note should be provided to the instructor. Re-grades: If there is a question about how an exam or quiz question was graded or a dispute over a correct answer, the exam or quiz may be turned in for a re-grade. The disputed question must be marked and a written explanation must accompany the exam or quiz in order to receive credit. I will not consider an exam or quiz for a re-grade unless the question/dispute is in writing. Any re-grades must be turned in one week after the assignment is returned to you. Re-grades will NOT be considered after the one week deadline. Quizzes: There will be weekly quizzes given in lecture. The two lowest quiz grades will be dropped when your quiz average is calculated. Because the reason for the weekly quiz is to encourage students to be prepared, to participate in discussions, and to practice working with the material, if a quiz is missed for an unexcused absence, it will result in a zero, and will be one of the quizzes that is dropped. A missed quiz may be taken before the lab section if the instructor is informed of an excused absence in advance. Labs and Homework: Labs/Homework/Participation grades make up 25% of the overall course grade. This grade will be determined by: Lab assignments and worksheets = 50% of lab grade, practical exams = 40% of lab grade, and participation = 10% of lab grade. Participation points are earned by participating during class assignments, doing your own work on individual assignments, participating in group work, cleaning up after lab, observing safety rules, not using cell phones during class, etc. Absences result in a loss of participation points on the day of the absence, whether or not the absence is excused. Due to the content and set up involved with practical labs and the limited class time and facilities available, dissection labs cannot be made up. There may be one opportunity to make up one non-dissection lab on a day at the end of the semester. If you have an excused absence, discuss it with me outside of class time. If it is planned, you must talk to me in advance. ADA Statement: If you believe that you need academic accommodations for a disability that qualifies under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, please contact the Office of Disability Services, located in office T105E of the ACES Center on the Ironwood Campus, by calling 906.932.4231 x 271, or e-mail Dayle Jackson at daylej@gogebic.edu to discuss your needs and the process for requesting accommodations. This office is responsible for coordinating disability-related academic accommodations and will issue students with verification letters as appropriate. Since accommodations may require early planning and generally are not provided retroactively, please contact the office as soon as possible. Dishonesty, Cheating: Academic dishonesty of any kind, including cheating on exam, copying assignments, or plagiarism, may be dealt with in any manner deemed suitable by the instructor, including the recording of a failing grade for the course. Cheating on examinations may also result in the student appearing before the Student Personnel Committee and possible suspension from school if circumstances warrant. All of your work must be in your own words. Copying from another student, copying answers from previous students worksheets, or cutting & pasting or otherwise copying from the internet is cheating. First offense: You and the person you copied from will receive a zero on the assignment/test. Second offense: You fail the course. *Use of a cellular device for any reason during an exam or quiz will result in an automatic failing grade
*In the event of a class cancellation, a scheduled quiz or exam will be given during the next class, whether it is a lecture or lab. You are also responsible for checking Moodle for announcements or class assignments.* Course Schedule The following is a tentative schedule for the semester.
