VIII. COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

Attendance in lecture and laboratory is expected to successfully complete the course. Missed assignments, laboratory tests, quizzes, or finals will not be made up. All assignments must be turned in on time (at the beginning of class when collected by instructor. Keep returned assignments and record of your grade throughout the semester. Your instructor will give you a tentative schedule for the lecture tests. Other homework or classroom assignments may be given by an instructor; the point value will then be added to the total points for the class. Be prepared for a quiz or assignments each session. If you feel you need any special accommodations due to a documented disability or have other concerns, please contact the college counseling office at 545-4060 and your instructor.

Our goal is to keep a challenging, relaxed, learning environment that enhances each student's potential. It is each student's responsibility to utilize class time, speak softly during group activities, and address others in the class in both a polite and professional manner. Also, cell phones are not to ring or be out during class or laboratory sessions.

Laboratory: Students are required to study diligently in small assigned groups of 2-3 students. At times specified by the instructor these small groups will converge with another small group studying the same concepts, thus forming a larger study group of 4-6 students. In general, each week, within small groups, students may study assigned sections of material, prepare a draft quiz, type a final quiz and key, quiz and grade students from another group, and take a quiz prepared by the instructor as well. Your instructor will inform you of the format of quizzes to be prepared by students and also give each group the opportunity to be creative in their approach. Your instructor may alter this process or add to it as the course progresses. Emphasis will be placed on exercises pertaining to the skeletal system and muscular system. Each student will be responsible for learning various muscle groups along with their insertion, origin, innervation, and action. Also, working as a group, each student will produce a unique resource for study of these muscles. Your instructor encourages you to work in small groups and quiz each other throughout the semester prior to your testing.

Synopsis: Brief summary of articles from 2006. Each synopsis should be at least 5-10 complete typed sentences. Summarize and include your opinion of the article while indicating its relevance to this course. You must clearly identify the article by title, journal name, date, volume # and page #. A copy of the article must be turned in with each typed synopsis. Your instructor will give you the due dates.

Financial Aid: Students that receive financial assistance that are not attending classes prior to 60% of the semester being completed could be responsible for returning a portion of their Federal Pell Grant.

IX. METHOD OF EVALUATION:

Lecture Tests ..............................................................................................

Practical, Muscular, and Skeletal Tests ....................................................

Laboratory, Quizzes, Assignments, Synopsis, & Participation ..............

Comprehensive Final Exam .......................................................................

Total Points .........................................................................................................

1. If you are absent, late, or have to leave early for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out what material, handouts or assignments were missed. Students will not receive points for late or missed work. In order to earn total participation points included with some class assignments, laboratories, and quizzes (2-5 points), each student must be present the entire class session. Absences beyond 3 will result in a reduction of points.  You must be present for final exam and laboratory tests or score will result in a zero.

2. Complete your own work (if suspected of cheating, grade will result in a zero), turn assignments in on time, use pencil on lab exercises, practice lab safety and use equipment with care.

3. Students will not receive points for late or missed work. If given, make-up lecture test (limit 1) will be penalized 10% and will be completed (within one week from original test date) on the day of your return.

4. Please see your instructor for any additional questions or concerns.

5. Your grade will be figured on the following scale:

91 - 100 % = A

81 - 90 % = B

71 - 80 % = C

61 - 70 % = D

below 61% = E
