Objectives:
1. To provide a comprehensive introduction to the gross structure of the human body.
2. To provide a comprehensive introduction to the microscopic structure of the human body
3. To provide maximal learning experience through lecture and corresponding laboratory sessions.
4. To provide clinical correlations to emphasize structure and functional relationships in human anatomy.
Grading: Your course grade is based on the following:
Lecture Exams (5) 500 points
Laboratory Practical Exams 300 points
Pop Quizzes (1-8; extra credit) 10-80 points
Total possible 800 points
It is highly recommended that the student read and be familiar with the chapters that will be covered prior to the lecture and lab. To encourage this, pop quizzes will be given prior to some lectures and labs pertaining to the chapter being covered that day. These questions will sometimes come directly from those at the end of the textbook chapter. Points acquired during these quizzes will be counted as extra credit.
Grades will be assigned as follows:
776-800 points (97-100%) A+
720-775 points (90-96.9%) A
696-719 points (87-89.9%) B+
640-695 points (80-86.9%) B
616-639 points (77-79.9%) C+
560-615 points (70-76.9%) C
536-559 points (67-69.9%) D+
480-535 points (60-66.99%) D
0-479 points (00-59.9%) F
Attendance: Attending the lectures and labs is essential for this course. All lecture and lab material is felt to be required information and fair game for exams. It will be rare that something is included on a test that is not covered during the lectures and labs. Material that is likely to be on an exam will be emphasized during class time.
It is required that all exams be taken at their scheduled times. Rare exceptions will be made during verifiable exceptional circumstances. It is best to contact me prior to the exam if one cannot take it at the scheduled time. I must be contacted within 24 hours of the missed exam for a make up to be considered. Exams start at 6 p.m. and no one will be admitted to the exam after 6:10. Exams missed during unexcused absences will be scored as a zero and not made up. The rare exams which will be allowed to be made up will be made up on final exam day after the regular final exam.
Reading Assignments: Chapter(s) scheduled to be covered on a particular day are assigned reading for that class. It is highly recommended that course material be read prior to the scheduled lecture and lab. This will increase the usefulness of the classroom time and prepare the student for any extra credit pop quizzes
Cell phones must be turned off prior to the start of class. This means no text messaging. I reserve the right to deduct 5 points from a person’s grade for each cell phone disruption.
Students needing accommodations, such as note taking, extended test time, interpreters, special seating, etc., because of a disability, will need to register with Adaptive Educational Services and complete the appropriate forms issued by AES before accommodations will be given. The AES office is located in the Student Services Area (CC 156). You can also reach the office by calling 812-348-7271. This process needs to be completed within the first two weeks of class to assure that services will be provided.
School Closing: If IUPUC closes due to inclement weather, lectures will be made up in subsequent classes, primarily those scheduled for reviews. If school is canceled on the date of an examination, the exam will be administered during the next class period.
The lab topic schedule will match the lecture schedule. The tentative schedule is as follows:
