BIOL 2401 Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology LAB Fall, 2014 Mrs. Willie Grant, Instructor (210)

Attendance Attendance in lab classes is important. Students can only miss a total of four (4) classes—lectures and labs in any combinations. Students who exceed this number will be dropped. The first DAY of class (Saturday) is important. Students who do not attend the first DAT of class will be dropped. Students should come to each lecture and lab to ensure success in this class.

Lab Notes We use Lab Notes for the lab. If you bought your textbook at the bookstore, they came bundled with the textbook. If you need Lab Notes, they are available online. You should bring your Lab Notes and textbook to lab each week.

Lab Classroom and Model Maintenance At the beginning and end of each lab class, the lab tables should be empty. Please put away the models in their correct places in the cabinets. Use the wooden sticks for pointing.

Testing There will be five (5) Lab Exams this semester. The test is divided into stations. There may be between 50 and 75 questions. The event is timed (two minutes per station). There are NO BONUS points allowed for the lab class and grades will not be curved. Each student will be allowed one (1) make-up exam for the entire semester. If you miss a lab exam, you must get an approval form from the instructor to take the make-up exam. Make-up exams will be in Room 206 on Mondays through Fridays between 8am and 4 pm. The exam must be taken before the next scheduled lab exam. After you complete the exam, you may leave. The exception to this will be on Saturday, November 15, Cell phones should be turned off and kept out of sight during exams. Consequences of not doing so will warrant a zero grade for that exam.
