Course website The website has: Syllabus Lecture notes Objectives for each unit Resources to help you study Lab assignments

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 Four exams, one every two weeks 7/10 Exam 1 (Chaps 16,17)

Exams Given at the start of lecture 100 points each 1hour 20 minutes

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, we can make arrangements but let me know as far ahead of time as possible.

Lectures Lecture slides available on course website before lecture (but maybe just before) Do not cover ALL the material on exams (but everything comes from either the notes, or something I say in lectures) “Objectives” available at the beginning of each unit are a guide for what to study, but the lecture notes are your primary resource

Objectives List of learning goals that need to be achieved for you to do well in this class Contains what the college has deemed to be the most important things for you to know to if you go on in a health-related career. Available online on the course website

Attendance Students should attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to reschedule laboratory experiments and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. ESPECIALLY because we meet only eight times this quarter.

Lab Practicals There will be two lab practicals, each worth 50 points, given in week 5 (7/31) and week 8 (8/21) Consult the Lab Practical Quiz Study Guide in the syllabus for details on what you are expected to know for each.

Assignments TBD Case studies, or take-home written assignments 50 points (we will do 3-4 of them)

Labs Most laboratory exercises in 242 must be completed in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise must come in during open lab time to get credit for that exercise. Lab exercises will be due the following week by the end of class. Labs lag a little behind the lectures in the middle of the course
