Required Materials: Textbook: Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, 6th Edition, by Kenneth S. Saladin (2011). ISBN: 0073378259

Lab Text: Human Anatomy and Physiology II Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition, Bluedoor Publishers, by Ann Gathers & Benjamin Jorge (2013). ISBN: 13: 9781599846422

Grading: Students must be enrolled in lecture and lab to receive a grade for the course. The final course grade is determined by lab scores (30%) and lecture scores (70%).

Lab scores: See lab syllabus. Lecture scores: Exam I 100 Exam II 100 Exam III 100 Final Exam 200 (½ new & ½ comprehensive) Total 500 percentage points

Exam format may include multiple choice, fill-in-the blank, short answer, and/or diagrams/identification. All lectures, assigned readings, and -outs are fair testing material. ** Bring No. 2 pencils and student IDs to on exam days. Gathers 2

There are NO make-up exams. In the event that a student misses one one-hour lecture exam, the final exam percentage will be credited to the student in place of the exam if the absence is excused. Only one excused exam absence is allowed. Beyond one missed exam, all other missed exams are recorded as zeros in my grade book. I determine if an absence on the day of an exam is excused. An absence is excused if: 1.) The student notifies me prior to the absence and the absence is warranted (interview, of member, doctor’s visit, child care conflict, etc.), or 2.) in the case of an emergency, the student contacts me within a day of the absence and the absence is deemed warranted by the same standards. Written documentation is required for all exam absences that are to be considered excused.

Accommodations will be made to take exams early for students who have a conflict with a scheduled exam date due to an approved university event including athletic schedules or conference/ research presentations as long as the professor is given at least a one week notice of the scheduled absence.

In addition to exam grades and lab scores, random quizzes/ minute papers/ concept questions will be administered. These will be in-class and worth a maximum of 3 points each. Points from these will be summed and added to the next test grade. There are no excused absence allowances for missed quizzes/ minute papers/ concept questions.

Grading Scale: 90-100 A 80-89 B 70-79 C 60-69 D < 60 F

Cheating and Classroom : All students are expected to demonstrate integrity, respect, and consideration as outlined by the 2013-2014 Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog. Failure to meet these guidelines will result in a course grade of ‘F’ and a written report will be submitted to the appropriate dean.

Cell phones must be turned OFF during class. No phones, electronic devices, hats, or caps are to be brought to class on exam days. Use of cell phones in any way during an exam results in a grade of zero for the exam.

Attendance: Students are expected to attend all classes and are responsible for lecture information and announcements. I do not provide my own lecture notes to students. Some lecture materials, chapter reviews, and additional information will be accessible via Blackboard.

Academic Accommodation: Any student eligible for and requesting academic accommodations due to a disability is requested to provide a letter to me from the Student Success Center, Office of Disability Services (210 Clement Hall/ 881-7744) within the first two weeks of the semester.
