Commitment
Like BIOL 241, this is a very difficult class that requires learning what is essentially a new language
Less memorizing, more processes The class is designed by the college as an
overview: lots of breadth, little depth Expect 25+ 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
First 4 exams In class 75 points each 1 hour 20 minutes to complete
Final (Exam 5): Take home 100 points NOT cumulative Due on the last day of the quarter (March 22nd)

2/2 Exam 2 (Chaps 18,19)
2/16 Exam 3 (Chaps 20-22)

In Class 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
In Class 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, I may be able to accommodate you but let me know as far ahead of time as possible.
Take Home Exam 5
Covers chapters 25-28 (NOT cumulative) 100 points All short answer and/or essay Assigned the final weekend of class (3/16-
3/17) Due via email at midnight on Friday, 3/22
Labs In 242, most lab exercises require your presence
in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise should come in during open lab time to make up that exercise. Wet lab activities like dissections cannot be made up.
Lab assignments are always due the following week
Lab activities are designed to help prepare you for the practicals, but lab material is also fair game on exams
Lab Practicals
Two, each worth 100 points Cover the material on the “Lab Practical Study
Guide” in the syllabus They will involve identifying slides, models, or
diagrams, and answering related questions Because of the time required to set up these
quizzes, they cannot be made up. If you miss it, you are out of luck.
Lab Practicals
2/9 Practical 1: Chaps 16-21
3/16 Practical 2: Chaps 22-27
Consult the Lab Practical Study Guide in the syllabus for details on what you are expected to know for each.
Labs
150 points total For each lab assigned, complete all the
questions on the lab manual “Review Sheet” at the end of each lab entitled and turn it in to me the week following each lab. NOTE: you must turn in the actual pages torn out of a laboratory manual; no photocopies will be accepted.
Lab Assignments
In addition to the Review Sheet, in 242 most labs will have a lab assignment sheet that goes with each lab. These are available on the website and it is your responsibility to print out the relevant ones to bring with you to class each Saturday.
Most all the material for the practicals will come from these assignments.
Class Assignments
50 points In class group work or individual take-home Case study or in-depth look at a topic 2-4 will be assigned, depending on timing
Lectures
Lecture slides available on course website before lecture (all are posted now)
Lecture material (slides, plus what I say in class) will be primarily what I ask about on exams
Objectives
List of learning goals that need to be achieved for you to do well in this class
Contain what the I and other teachers at NSCC have deemed to be the most important things for you to know to go on in a health-related career
These are a general overview of what you should know for the exams.
Available on the course website
Saturday Class
The Saturday class is one week shorter than the other classes
This causes some scheduling issues that mean that the timing of labs is not always optimal with respect to the lecture
Also as a result, we will have to skip through some portions of the lecture slides; you will still be responsible for the material on the exam
For the exams, study the notes and use the objectives as your guide for studying the notes
Saturday Class
Both lecture and lab (usually a little more lecture than lab)
In addition to short breaks every hour or so, there will be a lunch break each class session. Often it works best to combine this break with lab time and have a long break in the middle of the day for both lunch and lab.
Attendance
Students should try to attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to make up laboratory experiments and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. ESPECIALLY because we meet only once a week.
