Tutors will be available in OldScience.2The lecture and lab are separate courses. The lab text is Marieb-Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual.Labs will start the first week.The anatomical material in the lecture text on pages 750-772 will be used mainly as laboratory material andwill not be taught in lecture. Some physiology material in those pages will be taught in lecture and you areresponsible for only that material. Tests can cover information in book even if not given in lecture and vice versa. Questions in class are strongly encouraged although I might elect to answer them after class.The notes that I use in class are the summaries at the end of each chapter. They are used mainly to keep myorganization similar to that of the text.DROP DATESLast day to withdraw -Jan. 27. To drop course without grade - Feb 10 Last day to drop - Apr 1. You must formallydrop course using appropriate forms or receive a grade of F.EXAM QUESTIONSI use transparencies so that you have plenty of time to take notes (you can write as fast as I do) and copyfigures. When I use text transparencies just use a rough copy in your notes (if you have text with you then youcan write on Fig but this may be difficult in practice) and fill in comments with connecting lines. Use original Fig intext after lecture.I make up my exams by going through the transparencies from the lecture and making up questions. I dothe same for the text material. In general, text-based questions will involve a major point rather than isolatedinformation bits (to the best of my selection ability). However, most questions, whether lecture- or text- based,will be specific and detailed, and not over some general concept. I assume you already know these concepts. Notethat my technique means that the information for all questions was given in lecture or text. The exam questions will be specific and detailed. The problem with general concept questions is that theycan be correctly answered by a drunken Paramecium or by many students without studying. These questionsdiscourage studying. Some ambiguous questions may inadvertantly be in the exams. Truly ambiguous questions are answeredcorrectly only by chance and therefore cancel out. The high grades on my previous exams were about 90-95 and,therefore, few ambiguous questions are present. If any questions that were not in the lecture or text slip throughby accident then I apologize now. However, these questions will be equally answerable by anyone in the classs.Exam questions will be approximately - 70% information in both text and lecture - 15% each only from text orlecture. Questions will be multiple choice or T-F. Exams will be given on day indicated unless announced in class. Exams will count as follows for lecture final grade.Midterm ~ 25% each / ~50 questionsFinal ~ 50% and will be comprehensive / 100 questions (~50 new/50 old)GRADESYour lowest grade will be dropped (DO NOT THINK ABOUT DROPPING THE FINAL EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALL MIDTERM AS).Grades will be curved primarily on the basis of distribution in ranges determined by previous student performanceand quintile position between random guessing grade and highest grade. The distribution will be used to assign+/-/A-F grades. All points will be totalled to get final grade and distribution. Students who answer 80-100 % ofquestions are in the A range and 0-20% in the F range. O % is determined by grade that could be achieved byrandom guessing. 100% is determined by the top grade. Posted grades will show the lowest grade for the letter category i.e. the lowest C is the lowest C-. Note thatdropping the lowest grade means that if all your grades are borderline then your final grade will automaticallydrop to the next level, i.e. a C- will become a D+.The above schedule and procedures in this course are subject to change in case of extenuating circumstances.HOW TO USE EXAMS AND STUDY FOR THE COURSEAs with most other college courses, the approximate minimal amount of time for study is30.5 hr of study / 1 hr lecture for a D1 hr of study / 1 hr lecture for a C2 hr of study / 1 hr lecture for a B3 hr of study / 1 hr lecture for an A.These times can vary up or down depending on ability, focus, interest etc. Note that my grading technique(see below) establishes an A as practicable and doable by a committed and reasonably intelligent student. Questions will be True/False and multiple choice types. Questions which require a quantitative answer or knowledge of the magnitude of a value will have falsevalues at least 50% different from the correct one.eg. Plasma K+ is 10 meq/l. F (the correct answer is ~ 5).Questions which have another right answer but are still correct are
