Course Details: This a three credit class aimed at exploring basic human anatomy and physiology with an emphasis on cell organization, tissues, and organ systems. Most of you will be going into the health field, as such students are expected to cover and learn a lot of material. This class will require dedication, commitment, and hard work to be successful. I do be prefer a dynamic classroom, but please be courteous to others, including your instructor. II. By the end of the course, students will be able to: a.

Four quizzes will also be given throughout the semester. Missed quizzes cannot be made up. Students with less than 3 absences will be allowed to replace their lowest exam grade with their final exam score. You cannot replace a 0, so you will not be allowed to miss an exam and use the final score to make it up. 3 Lecture Exams (100 points each) 300 Comprehensive Final Exam 150 Quizzes (25 points each) 100 Participation (6 x 5 points each) 30 Total = 580 Your final grade will be determined using a standard percentage scale (90-100% = A; 80-89% = B; 70-79% = C; 60-69% = D; below 60% = F).
