Course Grading: The points that you earn for lecture and lab are combined to calculate your overall grade. You will receive only one grade for this course! It is possible that there will be additional quizzes, which may alter the grading scale if it becomes necessary.

Consistent attendance is required for successful completion of this course. Because of the speed of this course, there is little time to catch up on missed work. Attendance in lecture and lab are crucial to your success. You will receive 1 point per day of attendance. You must sign both lab sign out sheets to earn the point for that day. Attendance points can not be made up. You are expected to be on time. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to class. Parking is not an excuse to be late. There is ALWAYS parking on campus. You will be allowed 1 tardy without penalty. The tardy policy for any tardies after your first will be: 1 st offense you will lose 2 points 2 nd offense you will lose 3 points > 3 offenses you will lose 5 points for each offense You can not make up for missed time in class. If you miss 3 class days (3 lectures and 3 labs), which is equal to 20% of your scheduled class time, I will drop you from the course. There will be a sign out sheet that you must sign at the end of every lab. For each class day that you attend AND sign out, you will receive 1 point. It is your responsibility to sign this document before you leave the class. If you forget to sign the sheet, you will be considered absent from class for that day and you will not receive any points. There will be no exceptions to this policy. If you miss any class during the first 2 weeks of classes, you will be dropped from the course. There will be no exceptions to this policy.
Exams and Practica: Spelling counts Be sure you learn to spell the name of the structure correctly as you learn to identify it. You will lose ½ a point for every misspelled word on a quiz, exam or lab practicum. Lecture Exams: There will be 4 lecture exams and a comprehensive lecture final exam. The lecture exams will be multi-format (essay, short answer, multiple choice, matching, etc.). Each lecture exam will cover a specific unit, but will require an understanding of previous information. You must be in class when the class begins to take the exam. The door will be locked once the exam has started. If you arrive after the door is locked, you will not be allowed to enter the room and take the exam. Tardiness on an exam day will result in a score of zero on the exam. Plan accordingly so that you do not end up in a position where you are late to class and miss an exam. There is always traffic on the roads and parking is always an issue. There will be no exceptions to this policy. All bags and other items, including cell phones, will be put on the floor in the front of the classroom during each exam. You may not wear hats of any kind during an exam. You will not be allowed to have water bottles or any other beverage on your desk during an exam. You will need a pencil and your colored pencils for every exam. All labeling and diagrams on your exams must be in color. You will lose 2 points for each diagram or labeling question that is not in color. Lecture exams are scheduled and cannot be made up, except under extremely compelling circumstances with documentation! If you miss an exam without notifying me of the circumstances BEFORE the test, I will drop you from the course. Lab Exams: There will be four practical exams. Lab exams will be administered during your regular lab section. You will be asked to identify structures on specimens, models, and slides. All personal items will be stored in the cubbies during an exam and cell phones must be silenced. You will be required to wear your lab coat and goggles during the 2 nd, 3 rd and 4 th lab exams. You will not be allowed to enter the room and take the exam without your lab coat and goggles on. Lab practical exams involve set up and marking specimens. These cannot be made up under any circumstances. Lecture format: Lecture outlines are posted online on my webpage. These are intended to provide an overview of the lecture. Although the lecture will be presented using PowerPoint, the lecture itself will be interactive and students are expected to prepare before class in order to participate. Lab format: In lab, we will be dissecting, working with human cadavers and models, viewing histology slides under the microscope, and becoming familiar with the structures associated with feline and human anatomy. In order to optimize the limited time we have for lab, it is very important that you read the lab exercise before attending lab. Please be certain you come prepared and that you have all the materials necessary for lab before lab begins. If you do not have the proper safety attire (lab coat, closed toed shoes and goggles), you will be dismissed from lab and not allowed to participate. You may borrow a lab coat or goggles for 5 points each EVERY time you borrow something. If I see you in the lab while we have specimens out you will lose 5 points EVERY time I see you without goggles. Visual Analogy Guide Packets: The analogy guide packets will be due at the end of each unit in lecture. VAG packets will be turned in during lab on the day of the practicum. The pages that you will complete will correspond to the topics covered in lecture, lecture diagrams and histology diagrams. Each packet is worth 25 points. Packets must be turned in on time. I will not accept late packets. Packet pages and due dates are posted on my website. Accommodation of Disabilities: Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with disabilities. Please consult with me immediately if you have a documented disability with DSPS so that we can arrange for accommodations.
Remember that you are ultimately responsible for your success in class! Review your lecture outlines each day before class, complete the assigned reading before you come to class, spend an adequate amount of time studying (about 3 hours outside of class per hour of lecture), attend all classes, and ask lots of questions!! CLASSROOM RULES: NO WHINING! Do not be late to class. Do not sleep during lecture. NO RECORDING OF ANY KIND DURING CLASS Cell phones must be silenced and put away in your backpack or purse during class. o You may have your cell phone out during lab only You are responsible for the legibility of your work. If I can t read what you wrote, it s wrong! Do not talk or be distracting during lecture. The lecture room amplifies your discussions and prevents anyone sitting in front of you from hearing. If you are asked repeatedly to be quiet, you may be asked to leave. A second offense will result in appropriate disciplinary action. You are responsible for all of the information from Anatomy 35 and your college level chemistry course. If you are weak on any of this material, please review it! Be courteous and respectful to each other. Come to class prepared with all the required supplies and equipment. Every student must participate in every laboratory exercise, including clean up. Do not schedule appointments during lab thinking we will get out early! Any unsafe behavior or deliberate abuse of laboratory equipment will result in your immediate dismissal from lab

Falsifying documents, including signatures. If you are unclear about what constitutes cheating in your class or for a particular assignment, please contact your instructor for clarification before the assignment is due.
