Commitment • Like ANP 213, this is a very difficult class that requires learning what is essentially a new language • The class is designed by the college as an overview: lots of breadth, little depth • Expect 20+ hours of reading and studying each week in addition to class sessions • The pace is a little frantic so missing class is not recommended.
Exams (TTh class): Five exams, all on Thursdays 1/17 Th Exam 1 (Chaps 16, 17) 75 pts 1/31 Th Exam 2 (Chaps 18, 19) 75 pts 2/14 Th Exam 3 (Chaps 20-22) 75 pts 2/28 Th Exam 4 (Chaps 23, 24) 75 pts 3/20 Th FINAL (Chaps 25 - 27) 100 pts
Exams • Given in lecture • Exams 1-4: • 75 points each • 1:30 hours • Exam 5: • 100 points • NOT cumulative • 2 hours • On Thursday of finals week (3/20)
Exams • A little more than half “objective” questions: multiple-choice, matching, true/false • The rest: fill-in-the-blank, short answer, short essay, and diagram labeling • You will need a Scantron form and a #2 pencil for each exam. • Not cumulative per se
Exams • Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence. Students with extraordinary circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as soon as the situation occurs. • If you know ahead of time that you will miss an exam for a valid reason, we can make arrangements but let me know as far ahead of time as possible.
Lectures • Lecture slides available on course website before lecture (but maybe just before) • Do not cover ALL the material on exams (but everything comes from either the notes, or something I say in lectures) • “Objectives” available at the beginning of each unit are a guide for what to study, but the lecture notes are your primary resource
Objectives • List of learning goals that need to be achieved for you to do well in this class • Contains what the college has deemed to be the most important things for you to know to if you go on in a health-related career. • Available online on the course website at the beginning of each unit
Attendance • Students should attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to reschedule laboratory experiments and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. ESPECIALLY because we meet only twice a week.
Quizzes • Quizzes may cover material presented in lab or lecture. • There will a quiz every week in which there is not an exam (except today) • Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11 • Quizzes may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence (NO EXCEPTIONS) • Your lowest quiz score will be dropped
Quizzes • All quizzes will be written (short answer, multiple choice, fill in) based on lecture and lab material • Thursdays at the start of lecture in non test weeks • 20 points each, total of 120, lowest score dropped = 100 points counted
Lab Practicals - • There will be two lab practicals, each worth 50 points, given in week 6 and week 12. • Consult the Lab Practical Study Guide in the syllabus for details on what you are expected to know for each.
Assignments • TBD • Case studies, or take-home written assignments • 50 points (we will do 3-5 of them)
Labs • Most laboratory exercises must be completed in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise must schedule a make-up session with me or come in during open lab time to get credit for that exercise. • Lab exercises will be due the following week in lab. • Labs can be difficult when they come BEFORE the lecture each week.
