| Course Rationale:
The study of anatomy and physiology is essential to understanding the
human body. These disciplines concern the body’s structural framework and how
it works. What the body is able to do depends intimately on how it is
constructed, and the body’s construction gives a strong indication to what it
does.
Attendance:
Regular class attendance is probably one of the simplest and most
effective ways of enhancing one’s academic performance. Attendance will be
noted in this class, using a class roster.

Exams:
There will be approximately 20 exams for the course. All exams will
be counted and will share equal weight. Study objectives will be provided
for all exams. The study objectives, along with a chapter outline, will be
handed out prior to the beginning of the chapter. Exam items will include a
variety of essay, drawing, labeling, completion, multiple choice, and
vocabulary. Each exam score will be counted as a major test grade.
Quizzes:
Short quizzes will be given throughout the course. Each quiz will
be counted as a daily grade.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned throughout the course and will be due at
the beginning of the class period. Homework will be counted as a daily grade.
Projects:
Projects will be assigned throughout the course. Each project will
be counted as a major test grade.
Laboratory:
Laboratory assignments include lab reports, quizzes, practical
exams, and computer lab assignments. Lab reports and assignments will be due
at the beginning of the class period. There will be very few labs that can
be made up, so the best policy is simply to be there.
Assignments will NOT be accepted late (except EXCUSED absences). If you have
an excused absence, you will be allowed up to five days to make up all missed
work. However, it is the student’s responsibility to check with the teacher
for work that was missed following an absence. A grade of ZERO will be
entered for all work that is not made up.
Students should understand that they should spend at least 15 to 30 minutes
per evening studying the course material in addition to specific homework
assignments. It is very important to be mentally prepared each day. I am
here to help students learn, so please remember this and contact me when help
is needed. I look forward to a great year with each and every one of you.
Materials Needed:
3 ring binder (1 or 2 inch)
notebook paper
divider tabs
#2 pencils

1 box of tissue OR 1 roll of paper towels
