A structure/function approach provides the background required to understand the material in the course, which is necessary for further study in professions such as nursing, physical therapy, sports and leisure studies, medical technology and related fields. Although students are not required to take the lab (IPHY 3415) with this lecture course, the lab is required for the entrance into a number of health-related professional programs. If you are interested in applying to those programs, taking only this lecture will not meet the requirement unless the lab also is taken. Consult with your advisor if you have questions regarding this matter.2 GRADING: The total number of points possible in the course is 500. Exam 1 100 pts Exam 2 100 pts Exam 3 100 pts Final Exam 100 pts Homework 80 pts Clicker questions 20 pts --------- 500 pts Grades will be assigned based on the scale below. If the average for the course is BELOW 75%, this average will be adjusted to 75% by adding points to every student's grades to accomplish a 75% course average. No adjustments will be made if the course average is 75% or above. A = 93.34-100% C– = 70-73.33% A– = 90-93.33% D+ = 66.67-69.9% B+ = 86.67-89.99% D = 63.34-66.66% B = 83.34-86.66% D– = 60-63.3% B– = 80-83.33% F = less than 60% C+ = 76.67-79.99% C = 73.34-76.66% Ex ams : Each exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions. Exams 1, 2 & 3 will cover only material relevant to that section. The final exam will be 70% new material and 30% comprehensive. A list of topics to be covered in the comprehensive section will be provided. Exam policy: FOUR exams (including a final) will be given in this course. All FOUR exams will count toward your final grades. If, for a valid reason, a student must miss an exam, the missed exam will be prorated. A medical certificate signed by a certified medical doctor or a documented family emergency are the ONLY acceptable excuses for missing an exam. This syllabus provides detailed information on the dates of exams and final, so please schedule your travel plans accordingly. Conflict with students' travel schedules **CANNOT ** be used as an excuse for missing exams or taking exams at a different time. There will be NO exceptions. Homework assignments: Sixteen homework assignments will be provided throughout the semester, each worth 5 points for a total of 80 points. These homework assignments will be posted and submitted through CULearn http://culearn.colorado.edu, and will be due by 11 p.m. on the assigned due date. Late submissions will not be accepted. Clicker points: The class will be asked several questions during each lecture to answer using i-clickers. For each question, ½ credit will be awarded for participation, ½ credit will be awarded for performance3 (answering the question correctly). The total number of points offered in this way will be at least 26 (each full-length lecture will have several clicker questions, adding up to 1 point per lecture). Up to a maximum of 20 points earned in this way will be counted towards your grade. Thus, you can miss 6 clicker points (due to absence from class, clicker malfunction, incorrect answer submission, etc.) and still receive the maximum of 20 clicker points. It is your responsibility to make sure your clicker is working correctly. No makeup clicker questions are allowed. Extra credit: Any opportunities to obtain extra credit will be offered to the entire class. It is not possible to obtain extra credit on an individual basis.
