Lecture Grading
Tests will be given
every Monday covering the previous week's lecture and possible lab material.
There may be more than one exam a
week (one lecture, one lab).
- Two tests will be thrown out. I do not allow make-ups. There
will be times that you may miss a test
That is OK! I will just record a zero for that test.
- A comprehensive exam will be given at the end of the semester It
tends to be mostly pictures.
- Grading scale: 90%=A, 80%=B, 67%=C, 56%=D, less than 56%=F
Laboratory Grading
- One can make-up certain labs, if absent, only by leaving a message
for me before the missed lab.
Other labs (with a high degree of teacher prep) cannot be made-up; and you
will be docked appropriately.
On some two-part labs you might receive credit only for the part of lab you
attended.
- Lab material is tested by "lab practicals". Students rotate with a
time limit to answer questions.
If the class has more than 25 students, we will divide into two or more
sessions ).
Lab practicals also cannot be made up due to time and space limitations.
- Points for consistent cat dissection.
- Lab quizzes will be given (usually 10-15 pts). This is to
encourage regular attendance and review.
- Lab plates (drawings) will be assigned . Usually between 5 - 10
pts.
Miscellaneous
Lecture and lab will not always correspond. This is due to meeting for only
two lecture hours and six lab hours.
Some lecture material does carry over into lab hours. You may not remove
any lab material or test material from
the classroom except by permission of the teacher.
No
cell phones or text messaging is allowed during lecture or lab times.
Please clear expectations of emergency
calls with me before class.
No music listening devices...I want your full attention.
Attendance will be recorded. Unexcused absences will result in you being
dropped from class. Please communicate with me.
J
Class unity is important for our best learning experience.

Expectations
Future nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other
health technician personnel take this course. There is competition to enter
these fields based on grades, letters of recommendation, and previous
experience. You want to appear with-it, not easily discouraged, and committed to
attendance and long hours of memorization. If such time is not available to you
this semester, please reconsider.
