Grading System:

 

The lecture grade for this course will comprise 3/4 the semester grade.  3 lecture tests comprise 2/3 of the lecture grade and the final exam is 1/3 of the lecture grade.

The lab grade will comprise 1/4 of the semester grade and will be based on attendance and 3 laboratory tests.

 

Completion of all WileyPlus assignments on time and with minimal or no mistakes will add 1 point to your final grade for the course. 

Assignments and due dates are listed on the WileyPlus website.

 

There are no extra credit projects, papers, etc. for this course.  Please do not ask!

WileyPlus assignments give you the opportunity to add a point to your final grade while helping you learn the required course material.

 

 

Policies:

 

·         Class attendance is essential for success in this course.  If more than 3 classes are missed, your grade will be affected. At the Nursing School’s request, I will periodically take attendance and the missing student list will be forwarded to the Nursing School.

 

·         Although tests will not be cumulative per se, knowledge of earlier material will be assumed.  As you will see, the study of Anatomy & Physiology is by its very nature cumulative.  You will need to know and understand concepts learned in earlier units to learn and understand concepts in later units.

 

·         Makeup tests must be taken no later than the first A&P class day after the test; after that time, the grade will be zero. 

 

·         No more than ONE makeup test per student will be allowed.

 

·          Please note that makeup tests are to be given ONLY for extenuating circumstances and with my PRIOR consent.

 

·         Leaving early for vacation is NOT an extenuating circumstance!!   Please plan accordingly!!

 

·         If you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic accommodations please contact: Office of Academic and Disability Support Services, the Kelley Center, ext 2615. I will work with you and that office to best accommodate your needs.
