Make-up Exam Policy
Except in the case of serious, unforeseen emergencies, THERE ARE NO MAKE-UPS FOR MISSED LECTURE EXAMS OR LABORATORY EXAMS. THEREFORE, YOU MUST ATTEND CLASSES ON THE FIVE SCHEDULED EXAM DAYS, AS LISTED IN THE SYLLABUS. NO EXAM GRADES WILL BE DROPPED.Exceptions will ONLY be granted if 1) the reason for the missed exam was a serious emergency that was beyond the control of the student; 2) the student notifies the instructor within 24 hours of the missed exam; 3) the student provides the instructor with acceptable written documentation of the emergency situation (e.g., hospital record, automobile accident report, etc).

*There will be a 15-minute quiz each week during the laboratory period. Quizzes will cover both lecture and laboratory material.

SPECIAL NOTES:

GER Credit

The general education requirement (GER) is met by providing 1) a basic knowledge of human physiology from which students can interpret the anatomy and functions of their bodily systems, such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine and reproductive systems; and learn of some common medical problems affecting these organ systems. 2) Some specific goals which serve as a basis for classroom assessment are to increase the student’s comprehension of the interactions of bodily systems with the external environment; analyze and interpret their daily diets; be exposed to current dietary/nutritional information regarding omega3 fatty acids, Hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, etc.;; and to satisfy their natural curiosity about their bodies and bodily functions. The laboratory portion of the course then allows the student to extrapolate practical application from the lecture material and learn how to perform and interpret EKGs, assess lung function, perform animal dissections, etc. These goals are evaluated in both lecture and laboratory throughout the semester via three examinations; weekly laboratory quizzes; 3) demonstration to the laboratory TA of student learning by mastery of the dissected material, for example; and laboratory homework assignments such as 4) creating a written, software-guided Nutrition Project to evaluate personal dietary intake and compare with an ”ideal” diet.

D2L Quizzes

These quizzes will be posted on D2L at 5 pm on Thursdays and will remain available for you to take them until midnight on Monday. You will be notified of questions that you did not answer correctly, and allowed to try again one more time. Your quiz score will be the average of the two attempts. There will usually be about five questions and they will generally pertain to the material that will be covered in lecture the next week. There are no make-ups for these quizzes.

Cell phones must be turned off and put away during lecture. If you need to conduct any urgent communication during lecture, you are expected to quietly leave the lecture hall and return when you have finished.

Academic Misconduct

Assignments are expected to be completed independently, without the aid of fellow students. Sources should be cited. Cheating on exams will not be tolerated, and will result in a zero on that exam or quiz, and will be reported to the appropriate university authorities, possibly resulting in further consequences, such as an F in the course or academic suspension. For further details:

Incompletes

A notation of “incomplete” may be given in lieu of a final grade to a student who has carried a subject successfully (grade C or better) until the end of a semester, but because of illness or other substantiated, documented cause beyond the students control, is unable to complete the final or a limited amount of term work.

Grade Appeal Procedures
