Commitment Like BIOL 241, this is a very difficult class that requires learning what is essentially a new language. Less memorizing, more processes The class is designed by the college as an overview: lots of breadth, little depth. Expect 25+ hours of reading and studying each week in addition to class sessions. The pace is a little frantic so missing class is not recommended.

Exams First 4 exams Final (Exam 5): 75 points each 1 hour 10 minutes to complete Final (Exam 5): 100 points NOT cumulative 2 hours On Monday of finals week (Dec 9th)

Exams Five exams, one every two weeks 10/7 Exam 1 (Chaps 16,17) 12/9 (Mon) Exam 5 (Chaps 25-27)

Exams A little more than half objective questions: multiple-choice, matching, 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

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.

Labs In 242, most lab exercises require your presence in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise should come in during open lab time to make up that exercise. Wet lab activities like dissections cannot be made up. Lab assignments are always due the following week. Lab activities are designed to help prepare you for the practicals, but lab material is also fair game on exams.

Lab Practicals Two, each worth 100 points Cover the material on the “Lab Practical Study Guide” in the syllabus They will involve identifying slides, models, or diagrams, and answering related questions Because of the time required to set up these quizzes, they cannot be made up. If you miss it, you are out of luck.

Lab Practicals 11/4 Practical 1: Chaps 16-21 Consult the Lab Practical Study Guide in the syllabus for details on what you are expected to know for each.

Labs 150 points total For each lab assigned, complete all the questions on the lab manual “Review Sheet” at the end of each lab entitled 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.

Lab Guide Assignment Sheets In addition to the Review Sheet, in 242 most labs will have a lab guide assignment sheet that goes with each lab. These are available on the website and it is your responsibility to print out the relevant ones to bring with you to class each Wednesday. Most all the material for the practicals will come from these assignments.

Class Assignments 50 points In class group work or individual take-home Case study or in-depth look at a topic 2-4 will be 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 primarily what I ask about on exams.

Objectives List of learning goals that need to be achieved for you to do well in this class. Contain what the I and other teachers at NSCC have deemed to be the most important things for you to know to go on in a health-related career. These are a general overview of what you should know for the exams. Available on the course website.

Night Class Lectures (and exams) will be on Mondays. For the exams, study the notes and use the objectives as your guide for studying the notes. Labs (and practicals) will be on Wednesdays. For the practicals, study the lab guide assignments.

Attendance Students should try to attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to make up laboratory experiments and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. Especially because we meet only twice a week.
