Teacher: Ms Duane Classroom Number: 2124 Contact Information: email – [email protected] voicemail – 508-347-9301 ext 1527 Extra-Help Night- Tuesday (Semester one) Wednesday (Semester two) Course Description: This course will cover the anatomy and physiology of the major systems of the body in greater detail than is possible in a survey course. Special emphasis will be placed on the chemical physiology of each system. Focus will be on the skeletal, muscular, nervous, digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Classwork will include lectures, demonstrations, group laboratory work including dissections, and term assignments. Adjustments will be made in expectations and assessment for students electing the course on the (H) level. **Please note that because of content overlap, students enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology may not take Biology II. Academic Expectations from the Mission Statement: • Assume responsibility for academic achievement. • Acquire, interpret, analyze, integrate, and apply information in a discerning manner. • Demonstrate the ability to use technology appropriate to the subject area. • Exhibit the ability to read, write, and communicate.

Academic Integrity Academic integrity provides the foundation for educational achievement and personal growth within Tantasqua’s school community. Integrity guides the choices which lead toward honesty, respect, and responsibility. A student with academic integrity gains knowledge through hard work and honest effort. The result is genuine accomplishment and learning. Academic Integrity promotes: • positive relationships based on trust • work that reflects one’s own best effort • respect for the intellectual property of others • responsibility for one’s own actions • real learning Violations of Academic Integrity Violations of academic integrity include cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is an unacceptable form of behavior. Real learning stops when cheating begins. It casts a shadow of doubt on the credibility of a student’s academic performance preceding the cheating incident, and may have an effect on how people perceive the student for the consideration of future honors, awards, or letters of recommendation. Test or homework dishonesty is the use of any means not specifically accepted by the teacher to obtain answers to a test, quiz, or homework assignment. Test or homework dishonesty includes giving, receiving, passing, or using in any way specific information about the test, quiz, or homework assignment, whether in oral or written form. Plagiarism is the use of another person’s words, ideas, or facts as if they were your own, without giving credit to the original source. Plagiarism may occur in any medium, including written composition, oral or artistic presentations, and technology. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable. During the first weeks of school, teachers will clarify their specific policies on plagiarism. Consequences A student found in violation of academic integrity may face one or more of the following consequences: • loss of credit for the assignment/paper/test, and a grade of zero • notification of parent or guardian • disciplinary referral to the assistant principal and resulting penalty Repeated violations of academic integrity will result in: • a meeting including the student, parent(s) or guardian(s), teacher, counselor, and/or an administrator • loss of credit and a failing grade for the course
