Materials/Policies  Textbook Hole’s Human Anatomy & Physiology, 11/e. Anatomy Coloring Book (suggested)  Evaluation This is a college preparatory course, so there is a test at the end of each chapter or unit. A comprehensive final exam will be given in June.  Grading Tests/quizzes are 75% of your marking period grade; Labs, Projects and homework total to 25%.  Homework Please plan on a minimum of 30 minutes of homework each night.

Materials/Policies (continued)  Clinic Students must make an appointment via . I am available for AM and PM clinic.  Conduct Students are expected to treat others with respect and follow all rules outlined in the student handbook.  Absences Find out what was missed when you were absent and complete it within a period equal to the length you were out. Check the “bin” for missed worksheets. If you are out during a test day, you must take the test after school on the day you return. Failure to make up work in the allotted time results in a zero. Labs must be made up within one week from absence. ID tests, next day back in class.  Cheating Cheating is copying of someone’s work and representing it as your own. Plagiarism is a form of cheating.

Assessments  CR School District recognizes the need for regular student assessment. Assessment can take many forms: class work, homework, reports, projects, student writing, student performance, quizzes, teacher-developed tests, department/district tests, mid-term and final exams, and standardized tests.  Teachers will provide the opportunity to review assessments in a classroom setting. After this review, students are encouraged to share the responsibility for their own learning by taking advantage of the following methods of preparing for future assessments: clinic, resources posted on the teacher’s web site and distributed in class, self -monitoring through academic notebooks, logs, or charting that records areas mastered and those in need of review.  When appropriate, teachers will return assessments to students; however, for reasons of test integrity, not all assessments will be sent home. Parents may always schedule an appointment with the teacher to review assessments.
