manual 2010
Marieb, Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology,
latest ed.
Use of a medical dictionary though not required is
helpful. I prefer Dorlands, but Stemanns and Tabers
are also okay. I would stay away from the highly stylized
versions with lot of pictures but low of info.
Most lab supplies are provided for you.
Wear close toed shoes, comfortable clothing, preferably
old clothes or an old shirt over your clothes on dissection
and chemistry days.. Bring a mask for yourself on
dissection days if you feel you may be sensitive to
preservatives for specimen.
Gloves will be provided by your instructor.
A limited amount of coloring pencils are provided by
your instructor.
Safety goggles when needed will be provided
First Class Meeting: registered students who fail to show up for the
FIRST class meeting will be dropped automatically
unless special arrangements have been made.
Attendance: students are expected to attend all class meetings, read
assignments and be aware of exam dates. In the event of an
absence, it is your responsibility to obtain missed
information. Attendance is an important part of the class. It

will be monitored throughout the academic term. Given the

accelerated nature of a hybrid class, one session missed would
equal to more than 2 regular classes missed. Therefore, two or
more unexcused absences may result in a drop of a letter
grade, and three consecutive absences could also result in an
instructor initiated drop. In the summer 5-6 week session, 1
absence is all that is allowed and future misses would result in
a drop by one letter grade.
Drop: it is the students responsibility to submit an official drop card
to the Office of Admissions and Records if he/she has withdrawn from the class.
Failure to notify Admissions and Records that you are no longer attending may
result in receiving an "F" for the course.
Expectations:
BE ON TIME!!! It is disrespectful to arrive in the middle of a class.
Make every reasonable effort to attend the ENTIRE lecture and lab
session.
Take exams at the scheduled exam date.
Ask for help.
Devote at least 5 hours a week outside of class time to master the
material.
NO PLAGIRISM! Any student caught cheating on an exam or quiz
will get an F for the test. Any submitted student work that is a
copy of another students work, either past or present, or is from
a source other than the student, will earn a score of 0.

A
80 ~ 89.45%
B
65 ~ 79.45%
C

The Possible points are a guideline. Actual
