Attendance: Regular attendance in
lecture and lab is mandatory*. If a student is absent for more than the equivalent
of one week of class (two days), that student may be withdrawn without notice.
The single best thing you can do to succeed in class is to attend class every
day. Please email or call me if you miss class – keep in touch! If you stop showing up to class and do not
properly withdraw, you may be withdrawn by the instructor without notice or
you may receive a final grade of “F” or “Y” at the instructor’s discretion. For withdrawal procedures, see the College
Student Handbook at this link: http://www.maricopa.edu/gvpolicy/adminregs/appendices/S-7.htm
Grading Policy: The final grade for this
course will be a combination of your lecture and lab scores.
Lecture Scores: Lecture scores will account
for 67% of your course grade.
ü Lecture
Exams: There will be five regular
exams given in lecture. The dates are
listed in the schedule. There are NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKEUP LECTURE EXAMS*. You are allowed to DROP YOUR LOWEST
LECTURE EXAM SCORE and it will not count in your grade. Lecture Exams are
worth 100pts each.
ü Final Exam: The Final Exam is comprehensive covering all course
material. The Final Exam date is listed in the schedule The Final Exam score
will NOT be dropped. There is NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKEUP FINAL EXAM*.
Final Exam is worth 100pts and counts for 10% of the total course grade.
ü Lecture
Quizzes: Several short quizzes
covering recent lecture material will be given in class regularly (see
schedule) to ensure that you are keeping up with material. There are NO EARLY,
LATE OR MAKE-UP LECTURE QUIZZES GIVEN*. You are allowed to DROP YOUR LOWEST
LECTURE QUIZ and it will not count in your grade. Lecture quizzes are given
at the beginning of class. If you are not present in class for the quiz at the
start of class, you will not be allowed to take that quiz at any other time (be on time). Lecture Quizzes
are worth 20pts each.
ü Lecture
Assignments: Lecture assignments are
handed out regularly (see schedule) in class and are due at the start of
lecture one week later, afterwards they are considered “late”. Late assignments are accepted up to one week
after they are due, with a 20% deduction per class (lecture) day late. No late assignments will be handed out on or
past their due date. Lecture assignments are worth 10pts each.
ü Review
Assignment: There is one In-Class
Review Assignments (see schedule). There
are NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKE-UP REVIEW ASSIGNMENTS. You must attend and participate in class on
the day of the assignment to receive credit*. The in-class review assignments
are worth approx. 20pts each.
ü Lab/Lec Participation: Your effort and participation in labs and
lectures can earn you up to 20pts. Show up on time, be prepared for class,
participate in activities, follow the policies in the syllabus, take proper
care of lab materials, obey lab safety rules and be focused on class work.
Lab Scores: Lab
scores will account for 33% of your course grade.
ü Lab Exams: There will be three “practical exams” – meaning you
will need to locate and identify and/or describe the function of structures in
the body (bones, tissues etc.). The dates are listed in the schedule. There are
NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKEUP LAB EXAMS*. All three lab exams will
count towards your grade NONE ARE
DROPPED. Lab Exams are worth 50pts each.
ü Lab Quizzes: Several short
quizzes will be given either at the beginning or end of Lab. The dates are
listed in the schedule. There are NO EARLY, LATE OR MAKE-UP LAB QUIZZES GIVEN*. You are
allowed to DROP YOUR LOWEST LAB QUIZ and it will not count in your
grade. If you are not present in lab for the quiz at the start of lab, you will
not be allowed to take that quiz at any other time (be on time). Lab
Quizzes are worth 20pts each.
ü Lab Assignments: Lab homework assignments from
the lab manual and due dates for the individual pages are noted in your
Schedule. Lab assignments are due in the
first 10 minutes of lab or else they are considered late. Assignments turned in
on the due date after this time are counted as one day
late. Late lab assignments are accepted up to one week after they are due, with
a 20% deduction per class (lecture) day late. Lab Assignments are worth 10pts
each.
* There are VERY RARE
exceptions made on a case-by-case basis (e.g. religious observances, death in
immediate family, official absences, etc.) with documentation.
Course Grade: The grading scale for this
course is as follows:
Grade Scale:
900-1000pts = A (90%) Your Overall Course Percentage is
determined as follows:
800-899pts = B (80%) 670 points possible = Lecture
contribution to course grade
700-799pts = C (70%) 330 points possible = Lab contribution to
course grade
600-699pts = D (60%)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under 600pts = F
(<60%) 1000 total points possible =
Overall Course Grade
NOTE: All
left-over student assignments/materials not claimed by the end of the semester
will be promptly discarded.
Academic
Dishonesty/Disruptions: Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. This includes cheating or copying answers on
tests, quizzes or “individual” assignments or allowing others to cheat or copy
your work. Communicating the questions,
answers or content of tests or quizzes from one course section to another
before all students have completed it is considered “cheating”. Use or handling
of a cellphone during a test or quiz is considered
“cheating”. Taking or copying the content or answers of any test or quiz
without authorization is considered “cheating”. Any student who is caught
cheating will receive a zero for that score. The incident will be referred to
the VP of Student Affairs. Cheating may
result in a removal from the course with a failing grade. Disruptive behavior in class will not be
tolerated. Students who are disruptive or create a negative, distracting or
dangerous learning environment for others will receive one verbal warning from
the instructor. If the negative behavior
continues, Security may be called to remove the disruptive student and the
student will be referred to VP of Student Affairs and may lead to withdrawal
from the course.
Use of Human and Animal Material in Lab: This course focuses on
anatomy and physiology of the human body.
To provide students with a well-rounded education regarding the cells,
tissues, organs and processes of the body, we use a variety of human and animal
materials including cadavers, tissue sections, human bones, animal brains,
hearts, eyes, and whole cats in addition to a variety of plastic models and
computer programs such as ADAM. Though
the use of human and animal organs is beneficial in the learning process, it is
understandable that some students may not want to handle human or animal organs
for religious or other personal reasons.
Students who object are not
required to handle such materials, but are
still required to attend all labs
and take quizzes and practical exams. In
addition, students who object to handling these materials should meet with
their instructor early (within the first week) in the semester to
discuss the matter and, if needed, arrange alternate assignments.
Cadaver Protocol:
Show respect for the people
who donated their bodies for education.
There should be no joking about the cadavers, no nicknames in class or
outside of class. Showing disrespect for
the cadavers can result in your withdrawal from the course. Show respect to your fellow students also. It is not easy for everyone to work with
cadavers, so do not tease or joke about other's hesitations. Approach the cadavers ONLY after you have
become familiar with the models and diagrams.
Know what you're looking for before approaching the cadaver. Students are not allowed to handle the
cadavers without close instructor supervision at all times.
Technology: I maintain a website (http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/home_pages/crimando) for all my courses and strongly recommend that get outlines, study questions and use the lab tutorials there . If you email me any messages or essays, I will not open any attachments – all text you want me to read should be placed in the body of your email. Each GateWay student has a Google Email Account. Use that account when contacting me so that I will know who you are (as opposed to someone sending me an email from “fuzzeebear79@yahoo.com”. Students are welcome to record lectures for their own use. Please TURN OFF your cell phones or pagers in class - they are a distraction to other students and myself. CELL PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES MUST BE PUT AWAY DURING TESTS & QUIZZES. Cell phone handling or use during a test or quiz will be result in a zero for that test or quiz - this is your only warning in writing.
Identification: You are required to write your
8-digit Student ID number on your lecture exams. If you do not properly
identify yourself on your exams, which includes your
name, your ID number and the Test Form on your exams and scantrons,
you will not receive credit for taking the exam. If you don’t know your 8-digit
Student ID number (it should start with 3.…), find it
BEFORE your first exam. I will not supply you with identification that you
should already know for yourself.
Visitors: No unregistered persons are allowed in class
- lecture or lab. This includes children of registered students.
Disability Resources: Students with disabilities,
including learning disabilities, are eligible to receive reasonable
accommodations and should contact the Coordinator of Disabled Student Services
(602) 286-8888. http://students.gatewaycc.edu/Resources/DisabilityResources/
Library: The library is located in the
Learning Center: Located in MA1240 (between the bookstore & library), the Learning Center provides free academic support services and free tutoring for students as well as anatomical models, microscope and slides for studying lab materials. They have excellent resources and staff to help students learn time management and proper study skills. http://students.gatewaycc.edu/Resources/LearningCenter/default.htm
Expectations:
What are the expectations of a student taking this
class?
Understand that this is a
second-year college-level science course.
It is expected that you have passed the prerequisite biology course and
that you are familiar with the basics of biology, the cell, the chemistry of
the cell and some genetics. Those are the formal expectations; however I have
my own simple expectations as well:
1. Students are expected to
be on time for class.
2. Students should prepare
for the lecture topic of the day by reviewing previous notes and reading the
day's material ahead of time.
3. Students should be alert
in class and ask questions if they do not understand material being
discussed. If a class is missed, it is
the student's responsibility to obtain the material for that day as soon as
possible.
4. Students should know how
to use the textbook as a reference, including in lab, and be able to read and
comprehend it.
5. Students are responsible
for knowing what assignments are due and submitting them on time.
6. Students should use lab
time wisely; lab time is for studying anatomical models and specimens. Most lab assignments from the lab manual are
to be done at home - they are homework. Use lab time for studying lab materials
and for group interaction and studying.
What should the students expect from the professor of this class?
1. As the instructor of this
class, it is my primary responsibility to organize and present course material
and evaluate student performance.
2. I will present detailed explanations
and discussions of the topics listed in the official District Course
Competencies.
3. I will discuss underlying
theories and relationships and help put basic course material into
perspective.
4. I will present material
in an organized manner according to the schedule included in this
syllabus.
5. I am available for
general guidance, review of class material and grades outside of class during
office hours or by appointment.
6. I will advise students
and help with study skills & test preparation on a one-on-one basis if
needed.
Final Thoughts: Hopefully you enjoy school and you've
arranged your activities around it. This is more difficult if you're working
full-time. Stress, relationships, illness, jobs and other crises may be
unavoidable and shake you out of your "learning-centered" frame of
mind. A clear, calm and focused mind should be your "game-face" for
school.
Practice stress-reduction.
Keep a sense of humor. Go for a quiet walk. Read Robert Frost.
Make your College experience
an opportunity to improve your mind, body and spirit.
Learn how to juggle.
