Attendance

You are expected to attend all lecture and laboratory sessions. Attendance will be taken during each class period. You are expected to notify the instructor if you are absent. Twenty five (25) points will be deducted from your point total for each unexcused absence.

Participation

The best way to learn something is to actively participate in the subject. Learn to listen better, ask questions, interact with your fellow students and participate in group discussions. Poor participation includes talking out of turn, reading material in class not related to the topic being discussed, doing homework, and not actively participating in group discussions or lab exercises.

Textbooks

Introduction to the Human Body: The Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, 6th Edition, by Gerald Tortora

Assignments

Weekly out-of-class assignments include projects, lab reports, selected readings, etc. All assignments requiring writing must be typed, use proper grammar and be spelled correctly.

Exam

There will be a quiz nearly every week. Each quiz is worth 10-30 points. The midterm and final exams will each be worth 100 points. Test questions will be based on objectives covered in class or lab. Tests may include multiple choice, matching, true/false, short answer and/or essay type questions. There will also be two lab practicals, each worth 100 points.

Make-ups and late assignments
