Grades: Grades will be based on a total of points combining Exams (35%), Quizzes (10%), Labs (35%), Assignments (10%), and Group exercises (10%). Grade Scale: A ≥ 95% B+ 87-89% C + 77-79% D 60- 69% F < 60% A- 90-94% B 85-86% C 75-76% B- 80-84% C- 70-74% I do not grade on a curve ~ Extra points may be available upon request Attendance: “No Fault” attendance policy: Despite all of the excuses, there are very few reasons that justify an absence. Because it is difficult to establish the validity of excuses, I use a “No Fault” attendance policy. Therefore, the reason for an absence, whether personal problems, illness, funeral, religious holiday, field trip, rock concert, job interview, bad weather, good weather, too lazy to come to class, indifference, etc., does not matter. I may be sympathetic only if notified IN ADVANCE of an absence.

Please share with me any problems that you have so that I am aware that the problem exists and so that I can offer assistance in resolving the problem. Exams: Exams will periodically be given on each system covered with a comprehensive final. You will be given at least one weeks’ notice for upcoming exams. **(Anyone who will miss an exam must notify me in person IN ADVANCE to have the possibility to arrange to take a make-up exam. The NO FAULT policy also applies to missing an exam!) Unannounced Quizzes: There may be numerous pop quizzes given in lecture and lab. Some of these quizzes will be given during the first few minutes of lecture/lab and cover material discussed in the previous lecture/lab, including a weekly accumulated term list or over the reading assignment. Others will be given at the end of lecture/lab and cover material discussed in that day’s lecture/lab. Because one reason for the pop quiz is to encourage students to be prepared, to participate in discussions and to comprehend the material, a missed quiz MAY NOT be made up. Lab Exams: Due to the content and set up involved with practical lab exams, a missed lab exam MAY NOT be made up. If you cannot make an exam in your section, you can arrange to take it during another lab section only if you talk to me in advance. ADA Statement: ADA Accommodation for Students with Disabilities If you believe that you need academic accommodations for a disability that qualifies under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, please contact the Office of Disability Services, located in office T105C of the ACES Center, call (906) 932.4231 x 237, or e-mail [email protected] to discuss your needs and the process for requesting accommodations. This office is responsible for coordinating disability-related academic accommodations and will issue students with verification letters as appropriate. Since accommodations may require early planning and generally are not provided retroactively, please contact the office as soon as possible.

.Dishonesty/Cheating: Dishonesty and Cheating will not be tolerated. First offense: You and the person you copied from fail the assignment/test Second offense: You fail the course. **using cellular devices for any reason during an exam is an automatic failing grade Dishonesty of any kind, including cheating on examinations or any assigned work, may be dealt with in any manner deemed suitable by the instructor, including the recording of a failing grade for the course. Cheating on examinations may also result in the student appearing before the Student Personnel Committee and possible suspension from school if circumstances warrant.

Office hours: I will be available a half hour before and after every class (class schedule posted on my office door) and anytime by appointment. It is my belief that too much emphasis is placed on grades and not enough emphasis is placed on learning, retaining, and applying the information, skills, and values taught. If you master the material, you won’t need to worry about grades. If you don’t master the material, worrying won’t help you!

Gogebic Community College Institutional Learning Outcomes Critical Thinking and Information Competency (CTIC): Students will recognize the need for information to solve problems and make decisions. Student will identify, organize, analyze, and evaluate the credibility of relevant sources and use information in an ethical manner.

Community and Global Consciousness and Responsibility (CGCR): Students will demonstrate an understanding of the interconnectedness of global, national, and local concerns, analyzing cultural, political, social, and environmental issues from multiple perspectives.

Communication and Expression (CE): Students will communicate effectively and express themselves creatively. Students will interpret thoughtfully and logically, engaging actively in dialogue and discussion.

Quantitative and Technological Competence (QTC): Students will solve problems by selecting and applying quantitative methods to construct arguments with the use of numerical and statistical support. Students will utilize technology appropriate to their chosen field of study.

BIO 250 (Human Anatomy) Course Outcomes and Major Concepts Course Learning Outcomes: Explain how organs and tissues work together to perform the specific functions of the body systems (CTIC) Interpret how the structure of the human body contributes to maintaining homeostasis within the body (CTIC, QTC) Relate and explain how the classification of the structures of each body system can help with identification and clinical correlation within the human body (CE, CTIC) Distinguish how the anatomy of the human body functions as a network to sense and respond to stimuli, contributing to the overall integration of the body systems ( CE, CTIC, QTC) Demonstrate how the structure of the human body can be affected by certain pathology and agerelated changes to diminish the overall effectiveness of the organ systems to maintain homeostasis ( CE, CGCR, CTIC)
