COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course describes the effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms, from cells to animals. The lectures begin with a brief physical description of the various types of ionizing radiation,
the electromagnetic spectrum, and how radiation interacts with atoms. The early physical events produce ionizations and yield chemical radicals that can damage important biological
molecules such as water and DNA, leading to either cellular repair or death. The course emphasizes radiation damage to cells and organs, with practical illustrations of applications to cancer
therapy. It also reviews the risk-benefit rationale used in government regulations for the controlled use of radiation in research and medicine.
COURSE OUTCOMES (CO):

CO1 Explain the basics of ionizing radiation biological effects and risks from cellular to human.
CO2 Summarize the factors that affect the dose-effect relationship.
CO3 Summarize acute and late effects from ionizing radiation.
CO4 Plan and implement radiation protection education of researchers and health professionals

CLASS POLICIES:
1. Short quizzes may be given before or after lecture-discussion during class schedule.
2. Long/Unit quizzes/exams usually cover previously discussed topics and shall be given before the start of the lecture during the next meeting.
3. Punctuality is of utmost importance. A student who comes in late in class and misses the quiz or some parts of it will not be given consideration. However, valid reasons like accidents,
hospitalization or death of immediate family may be given into consideration with pertinent papers to be presented (police or CITOM report, medical and death certificates).
4. No special quizzes, in general, shall be given. In the event that a student misses a quiz due to a reasonable absence, he/she must immediately inform the instructor when he/she comes in and
present a valid proof as to why he/she was absent. Only then can giving a special quiz may be considered. No special quiz, however, will be granted to any student who misses a laboratory
quiz/exam that requires much preparation and set-up.
5. In cases where a student misses a major examination, he/she may be given a special examination provided that he/she can show a valid proof that clearly shows the reason for missing the
examination. The proof must be presented within one week after the student returns. Otherwise, no special examination shall be granted. Fill up a form for special quiz or term exam from the
office of the dean.
Page 17 of 18
6. Assignments/seat works/library works/laboratory exercises should be passed on time. Late assignments shall be given a deduction (at least 75% will be the highest possible score).
7. Students must follow the seat plan. A student may be marked as absent if not in his/her designated seat.
8. Strictly no communication, in any form, during quizzes and major examinations. (Please refer to the student handbook). Such communications may be treated as a case of cheating and the
student/s shall receive a grade of zero (0) in that exam for the first offense and a grade of 0.00 in the subject for succeeding violations.
9. Students have the right to ask about their grades. The instructor will show the class record every end of the grading period. All clarifications / corrections / questions / complaints must be
addressed to the instructor.
