Optional Texts: Grading Breakdown:  Exams 400 points  Lab Practical Quizzes 200 points  Lab Reports& Assigns 200 points Total 800 points Grades Your grade = points you earn 800 points3 Grade Percentages 4.0 - 3.5 A / A- 90 - 100% 3.4 - 2.9 B+/ B 80 - 89% 2.8 - 2.2 B-/ C+ 70 - 79% 2.1 - 1.5 C / C- 60 - 69 1.4 - 0.7 D+/ D 50 - 59% 0.0 E below 50% Commitment  This is a very difficult class that requires learning what is essentially a new language  Because it is a prerequisite, the class is designed by the college as an overview: lots of breadth, little depth  Expect 20+ hours of reading and studying each week in addition to class sessions  The pace is a little frantic so missing class is not recommended. Saturday class especially! Exams  First 4 exams  taken during class  75 points each  1 hour+  Final (Exam 5):  Take home  NOT cumulative  100 points  Due on last day of finals week (Dec 15) Exams - Saturdays Five exams: 10/15 Exam 1 (Chaps 1-3) 10/22 Exam 2 (Chaps 4, 5) 11/5 Exam 3 (Chaps 6, 7) 11/19 Exam 4 (Chaps 8-10) 12/15 Th Exam 5 (T/H) due (Chaps 11 - 15) In Class Exams  A little more than half objective questions: multiple-choice, matching, a few true/false  The rest: fill-in-the-blank, short answer, short essay, and diagram labeling  You will need a Scantron form and a #2 pencil for each exam.  Not cumulative per se In Class Exams  Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence. Students with extraordinary circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as soon as the situation occurs.  If you know ahead of time that you will miss an exam for a valid reason, I may be able to accommodate you but let me know as far ahead of time as possible.4 Take Home Exam 5  Covers chapters 11-15 (NOT cumulative)  100 points  Some fill in but mostly short answer and essay  Assigned at last class session  Due via email at midnight on Thursday 12/15 Labs  Many laboratory exercises must be completed in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise should come in during open lab time to make up that exercise.  Review Sheet at the end of each assigned lab exercises will be due the following week.  Lab activities are designed to help prepare you for the practical quizzes, but lab material is also fair game on exams. Lab Practical Exams  Four, each worth 50 points  Cover the material on the “Lab Practical Study Guide” in the syllabus  They will involve identifying slides, projected pictures of slides, bones, muscle models, brain models, or diagrams.  Because of the time required to set up these quizzes, they cannot be made up. If you miss it, you are out of luck. NO EXCEPTIONS. Lab Practical Quizzes 10/29 Practical 1: Histology 11/12 Practical 2: Bones 11/26 Practical 3: Muscles 12/10 Practical 4: Nervous Lab Reports and Assignments  Total of 200 points  Lab reports = 150  Assignments = 50 Lab Reports  For each lab assigned, complete all the questions on the lab manual “Review Sheet” found at the end of each lab and turn it in to me the week following each lab. NOTE: you must turn in the actual pages torn out of a laboratory manual; no photocopies will be accepted. You must also include any data obtained from the lab exercise or drawings of microscope slides.5 Assignments  In class group work or individual take-home  Case studies or in-depth look at a topic  2-4 assigned depending on timing Lectures  Lecture slides available on course website before lecture (all are posted now).  Lecture material (slides, plus what I say in class) will be what I ask about on exams.  “Objectives” for each unit will be posted on the website at the beginning of each unit. These are a general idea of what you should know for the exams. Saturday Class  The Saturday class is one week shorter than the other classes  This causes some scheduling issues that mean that the timing of the exams and practicals is not always optimal  Also as a result, we will have to skip through some portions of the lecture slides; you will still be responsible for the material on the exam.  Use the objectives as your guide for studying the notes Saturday Class  About half lecture and half lab (usually a little more lecture).  In addition to short breaks every hour or so, there will be a lunch break each class session of 30-45 minutes. Often it works best to combine this break with lab time and have a long break in the middle of the day for both lunch and lab. Example Day
