VI. Expected Student Outcomes
      During the semester, you may be asked to participate in un-graded assessments of student
      learning acitivities.  Your instructor will use the data to gage the comprehension of course
      material.  This information will be used to modifiy presentation and learning experiences
      to enhance student success.
      A.  Students will demonstrate understanding/learning of  assigned course materials through
            participation in class discussion, test, and quiz answers.
      B.  Students with a grade of C or better will meet preparation requirements of
            programs/courses that require Biology 205 as a prerequisite

VII.  Instructional Methodology
       A. Lecture format is by computer assisted multimedia,  which includes PowerPoint and videos.
       B. Chalk reviews and discussion.
       C. Course web pages, maintained on LMC internet, contains all topics and
             information presented in classroom.
       D. Supplemental material and links to study aids are also present on course web pages.
       E. Interactive Anatomy programs (ADAM) will be available for each organ system assignment
           in the Science Computer Lab (C115)
       F. Weekly laboratory exercises focus on anatomy models and organ dissections.
           Additional open lab times are provided for review.
      G. The Supplemental Instruction Program provides help and additional instruction outside of class time.

VIII.  Writing Across the Curriculum Strategy
      Students are expected to write answers to essay portion of exam using appropriate
      grammar, sentence structure and spelling.

IX. Grading Criteria and Requirements

A.  For a student to get credit and a letter grade, he/she must take exams at scheduled times and
      perform with minimum levels as indicated in Student Evaluation. No credit will be given if
      these requirements have not been fulfilled: instead, a "E", "W", or "I" will be awarded
      as per college guidelines.
B.  Human anatomy is organized into seven units based on the organ system presentation. An
     examination will be given at the end of each unit and the total points for all seven exams
     is 460. The assignment for each unit exam and the  approximate date of the exam is listed
     on page 6 and 7 of this syllabus. Students will be evaluated on their total points
     accumulated from the seven exams.

 Six unit exams will consist of 60 points each and will be comprised of the following components:
     1.  20-35 points OBJECTIVE (multiple choice, true or false, matching).
     2.  15-30 points LABORATORY PRACTICAL (You will be required to identify various
          organs and organ parts studied in the lab)
     3.  10 points WRITTEN (short answer, definition, or short essay).
          The last unit exam (urinary and reproductive) will be included in the 100 point final.
X. Grading Scale

        A. Grades are determined on the following percentage of the total points (460 points):
 

XI. Make-up Policy
         Make-up Exams. Only one exam will be allowed to be made up. This must be done within
         one week after test was scheduled. The student must make arrangements with the instructor
         to have the make-up completed within the time limit. Make-ups will be oral or essay format.
         If a test is not made up, a score of zero will be recorded.

XII. Attendance Policy/Withdrawal Policy

A.  Attendance: The class attendance policy is the same as the college policy as stated in the
      College Catalog. "It is consistent with the college philosophy that regular class attendance
      is necessary if the student is to receive maximum benefits from the course.  Students are
      expected to attend every class and laboratory period for which they have registered."
     "Two weeks of consecutive absences or failure to attend 20% of the scheduled semester
      contact hours for a class, makes a student subject to dismissal from the class at the
      option of the instructor."

B.  Religious Accomodation:  Mindful of the diverse student body that Lake Michigan College serves,
      and the varied belief  systems that its students represent, the College will make a reasonable effort
      to accommodate students who need to be excused from classes for the observance of religious
      holidays.  This policy does not apply to students who knowingly register for classes scheduled to
      meet on days that consistently conflict with their day of worship, e.g., a student who signs up for
      Saturday classes when the student normally worships on Saturday.

C.  Dropping the Course   The college withdrawal policy is stated in the College Catalog.
     "Students who withdraw from class through the twelfth week of the semester  (five weeks in
      spring or summer session) will be assigned a grade of W.  Beyond the  twelfth week of the
      semester, students who withdraw  will be assigned a grade of  E."
      The last day to withdraw from class is July 30, 2004.

XIII. Assignment Schedule
    The assignment schedule will be followed as closely as possible; however, changes may be made at
     the instructor's discretion. (See Tentative Schedule below)
