4 4 IV. COURSE CONTENT Teaching Strategies and Learning Experiences: In fulfilling these course objectives, the student is expected to work with the instructor by: 1. reading, analyzing and synthesizing information found in the E-text and lab manual 2. attending every class and participating actively in class discussions and activities 3. completing formative ORION adaptive learning diagnostic questions for each chapter and 5 or more practice questions in WileyPLUS Learning Space to earn 70% or above proficiency 4. attending every scheduled lab, participating actively & safely in laboratory group learning activities, dissections, microscopic examination and physiological experiments 5. completing formative pre-lab labeling and other exercises in lab manual as assigned and in-lab formative assessment assignments, such as exit quizzes formatted like hands-on lab practical 6. completing writing and electronic assignment(s); specific topic, details and grading rubric provided by individual instructors 7. completing 4 unit lecture tests based on material from the E-book, ORION adaptive learning, other readings and lectures 8. completing 3 unit lab practical exams based on lab exercises and involving hands-on identification with actual microscopic slides, models and dissection specimens 9. completing one comprehensive final exam based on major anatomical and physiological concepts V. REQUIREMENTS FOR COURSE EVALUATION AND GRADING: Students will complete units of study as outlined by the instructor. The course grade will be based upon four announced lecture exams, three announced lecture practicals, one writing/electronic assignment, and a cumulative final exam. Your course grade will be determined from the accumulation of a total of 960 possible points, distributed as follows: Evaluation Points Percent of Total Grading Scale (point ranges) Grading Scale (percentage) Lecture Exams (4) 400 points 42% =A %=A Cumulative Final* =B 80-89%=B 100 points 10% (see below counts once or twice) =C 70-79%=C Lecture Unit-based s ORION in Wiley Learning Space 40 points =D 571 or less=f 60-69%=D 59% & (10 pts possible per unit, based on proficiency) 5% below=f Lecture Unit-based s other Instructor specific activities 10 points Laboratory Practical Exams (3) 300 points 32% Laboratory Unit-based s Instructor specific lab preparation and/or lab 50 points 5% exit quizzes Writing and Electronic Assignment(s) 60 points 6% Make-up Policy: If a student is absent for a Lecture Exam, it is the student s responsibility to contact the instructor before or on the day of the lecture exam. This may be by Blackboard message, student WWCC account message to faculty , or phone message left at faculty phone number. If the student does NOT contact the instructor by the end of the day of the lecture exam, it will automatically be recorded as a zero (0) score. Written official documentation of a legitimate excuse is always required as follow-up before scheduling any make-up exam. If documentation is acceptable, the instructor will schedule the student for a Make-up Lecture Exam in the Testing Center (BH 217) or at another time. Any Make-up Lecture Exam may be a different format than the one given during scheduled class time. Because of the structure of the Laboratory Practical, there will be NO makeups possible for any missed lab exam and it will be recorded as a zero (0) score.

5 5 Cumulative Final*: Final Exam will count once for all students with questions from lecture and lab content from the whole semester. IF the student missed a Lab Practical that cannot be made-up [recorded as a zero (0) score], the Final Exam score will be counted twice, replacing one missed Lab Practical. IF the student didn t miss any tests and student s Final Exam score is higher than one of their Unit 1 3 lecture test scores or Unit 1 3 lab practical scores, the Final Exam will replace that one lowest score earned during the semester. It will not replace the Unit 4 lecture test score. It will not replace a zero (0) score received on any test as a result of academic dishonesty. Attendance: Each student is expected to actively participate in each scheduled class/lab. Arriving on time and staying through the whole scheduled period is a vital part of participation. If a student is absent they lose the benefit of learning during that time, and they will also automatically lose any in-class formative assessment (10 points) and bonus participation points from that day. & Critical Thinking: Formative assessment includes low-value assignments that allow students to practice and self-assess while learning is still taking place. It provides feedback that can guide learning and improve performance on tests. The science faculty strives to facilitate each learner's development of critical thinking skills in the context of each science course. Critical thinking skills include "higher order" types of thinking abilities such as application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, problem-solving, etc. That involves using both new and old knowledge beyond simple memorization of facts. Bonus points: Bonus questions covering unit material may be offered by instructor on individual lecture exams and/or laboratory practicals; however any individual test may not exceed 100% of the possible points. Bonus points for active participation, as defined & measured by the instructor, for a maximum of 3% of grade (29 points), may be offered. These earned bonus points will be added to all points earned at the end of the semester before calculating final grade percentage. There will be no curve and no extra credit used for assigning grades. VI. WRITING AND ELECTRONIC ASSIGNMENT: Students will access the WWCC Electronic Library Database Collection for a literature research project related to a human body system covered in BIO 202 (integumentary, skeletal, skeletal muscular and nervous systems, and special senses). The written project will document resources using proper APA citation and paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism. Specific details, including description of assignment, grading rubric & penalties for late assignments, will be provided by each instructor see their handouts. (GEO 1, 3, 4, 5, 9 and Bio 202 Course Objective 6) Reading and Writing Center (MTC204): You may seek writing assistance from a qualified instructor in the Reading/Writing Center. These drop in conferences are available on a first-come, first-served basis during the regular hours of the Reading and writing Center, so do not wait until the last minute to seek writing assistance. Come prepared with your original assignment and a printed copy of your written work. Center hours are: M&Th. 8:30-6:30; T&W: 8:30-8:00; F: 10:00-1:30; Sat 10:00-1:00. Do not wait until the day before an assignment is due to seek assistance. VII. EMERGENCY INFORMATION STATEMENT: In the event of inclement weather or other emergency, information about the closing of the college will be communicated via e2campus and the College s website. Faculty will communicate with students about their courses and course requirements, such as assignments, quiz and exam dates, and class and grading policies, via Blackboard. Students will be responsible for completing all these assignments in accordance with class policies.

SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Wor Wic provides reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of If you are in need of accommodations, please contact the counseling office at (410) For more information, see Wor Wic's Services for Students with Disabilities web page. IX. SEXUAL VIOLENCE DISCLOSURE: Wor-Wic Community College seeks a campus free of sexual violence which includes sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and/or any form of sex or gender discrimination. Please be aware that if a student discloses a personal experience verbally or in writing as a Wor-Wic student to a faculty or staff member, the employee cannot maintain confidentiality and has the mandatory responsibility to notify one of the college s Title IX coordinators. However, if you d like to make a confidential disclosure of any such violence, you can contact Wor-Wic s director of counseling (X-2900) or you can contact the Life Crisis Center at HELP or Information on rights of victims of sexual violence and related resources is available in the college catalog and at the public safety page of Wor-Wic s website: X. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND STUDENT CONDUCT: Academic integrity and civil conduct is expected of all students. Cheating and plagiarism are violations of academic integrity. Students are expected to adhere to the guidelines for civility in the classroom. See current College Catalog for further clarification and examples of expected student conduct and violations. Because there can be ambiguities in concepts of plagiarism, each instructor will be available for consultation regarding any confusion a student may have. Any student found violating the academic integrity policy will receive an automatic "0" for the assignment and then the matter will be turned over to the Student Disciplinary Committee. Documented evidence of the plagiarism, cheating or other violations will be kept in the Math and Science Office. Please refer to the Appendix of the current catalog for the full description of policies and violations pertaining to Student Conduct. XI. LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS: Each student is expected to actively participate in each of their scheduled labs. Arriving on time and staying through the whole scheduled laboratory period is a vital part of participation and hands-on learning. Students will perform laboratory exercises and experiments through lab team work, while taking responsibility for their own learning and showing respect for different learning styles within the group. This will include safe and proper use of microscopes, models, dissection specimens and all other scientific equipment during lab activities. It is the student s responsibility to contact instructor after an absence from lab and to get any materials missed during office hours or other times outside of class; do NOT wait and try to do it all during the next class or lab. Students may not attend any other lab sections. If a student is absent they lose the benefit of learning during that time, and they will also automatically lose any in-lab formative assessment and bonus participation points from that day. Specific lab assignments for formative assessment (50 points) and any optional bonus participation points (lab portion of 3% maximum) will be specified by each instructor (GEO 4, 7, 9 and Bio 202 Course Objective 7). Open lab study times may be scheduled during the semester to prepare for lab practicals. If a student has been absent from a scheduled lab, they may use this time to review missed study of static lab resources, such as microscope slides and models.
