onsite meetings and labs we will meet together ten times during the semester these meetings are mandatory and their dates are posted at the top of this document we will use this time to complete lab activities and to take lecture and lab exams because we won t see each other very often occasionally we ll fit multiple lab activities into a single lab therefore it s very important that you do not miss these meetings you have received a series of objectives for each lab these objectives will outline what you are expected to accomplish during the assigned lab time and how you should focus your time before the next lab session occasionally a lab activity will have a short lab handout that will be turned in for a grade these will be short enough so that you can finish them and turn them in immediately you cannot turn in a lab handout unless you have completed the lab activity a great deal of the anatomy physiology lab experience will be conducted on your own as any of the day students will tell you they spend lots of their own time in the lab learning the bones and muscles or studying tissues under the microscope this means that you will undoubtedly need to come in at different times to study the materials requested when you return to class at that time the problem will be dealt with on an individual basis failure to comply with these procedures will result in a grade of 0 for the missed lab exam time to time throughout the semester i am asked by the registrar to provide a list of students who have stopped participating in the course nonparticipating students may be withdrawn from the course and may be billed for repayment of financial aid i will use your attendance at the onsite meetings compliance to course deadlines and logins to masteringa&p to determine your level of participation in the course academic integrity from the l at eassignments late assignments will not be accepted the system assignments will automatically close at a predetermined time and date they will remain available afterwards for you to practice on but they will not count for credit if you are absent on the day a paper assignment is due you must get it to me by 3:00 p.m friday of the week it is due unless you ve made an arrangement with me in advance faxing assignments is acceptable but please make sure you include my name somewhere on the cover sheet college catalog students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity in this course violations of academic honesty will usually fall in one of two categories cheating or plagiarism cheating includes for example copying or buying the work of others hiring or persuading others to do work under a false name concealing notes or other helpful materials during a exam communicating with your classmates during an exam plagiarism is the use of another person s work or ideas as one s own without giving appropriate credit in short plagiarism is intellectual theft and is therefore taken seriously consequently using the ideas or language of others in an oral written technical or artistic work must be properly acknowledged and documented students are responsible for understanding what constitutes plagiarism in their classes and should note that these offenses are often very easy for the instructor to catch in this class the penalty for cheating or plagiarism will be a grade of zero 0 for the work in question and possibly a failing grade for the course please note that copying either text or drawings out of textbooks course materials and websites is also prohibited all work conducted in this course is to be yours and yours only at tendance your attendance is expected at all onsite meetings there are no make-up lecture exams your grade on your final exam will be substituted for one 1 missed lecture exam if a serious illness or family emergency prevents you from taking a lab exam please notify me on or before the day of the exam if possible and documented proof of the reason for the absence must be presented if safety notes this course includes some dissection of preserved materials dissections in anatomy and physiology i include the sheep brain and cow eye while we try to order materials in the safest preservatives available it is not advisable for pregnant women to be present in the lab during dissections if you 3
