Course Description:  BIO 194 (4-3-5) introduces the student to an advanced level of anatomy and physiology of the human body.  Emphasis is placed on the development of a systematic perspective of the anatomical structures and physiological processes. Topics include peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, respiratory, urinary, and digestive systems.

Lab Grade:    Your lab grade will be an average of the following three items:       

Lab Practical 1                                               

Lab Practical 2                                               

Lab Reports                                       

 

Exams:  Your best in-class test grade will count twice for a total of 6 test grades. Make up exams will not be given during class time.  Make up exams will be more difficult (primarily short answer) and should be avoided.  Make up exams must be scheduled immediately upon return to class and should be taken no later than the day after return to class.

To calculate any percentage grade:

number of questions you got correct / by total number of questions * by 100

"/" means divide

"*" means multiply

To calculate course grade:

(lecture average * 0.50) + (lab grade * 0.3) + (final exam * 0.2)

 

Attendance:

The attendance policy is defined in the Augusta Tech Student Handbook (p. 46). If the student misses more than ten (10) percent in any course during a quarter, the student is subject to being suspended from the course(s) involved. All work missed due to tardiness or absences must be made up at the convenience of the instructor. Three (3) tardies equals one (1) absence for the course(s) involved. Once a student is counted as present in class, they are not allowed to leave the classroom without informing the instructor ahead of time.

 

WITHDRAWAL/DROP POLICY

If you decide to drop this course, you must complete an official drop form through admissions, or email Rebecca Walker (rwalker@augustatech,edu) and Sabrina Sims (ssims@augustatech.edu) in Student Records, as well as the instructor and request a drop.  Once the email has been received, you will officially be dropped from the class.   If you have questions during the quarter about your continued attendance, please contact me or the dean of the school in which this class is being taught. If you are absent for 3 consecutive class periods you may be administratively dropped.

 

Consequences of Withdrawal: From the information below you can see that an important date in the withdrawal process is midterm. This quarter midterm is February 9th. If you withdraw after midterm and are failing, then a WF will be entered as a final grade which will impact your GPA the same as an F. The following material is copied from the Augusta Tech 2009 Catalog.

“W” WITHDRAW–Signifies the student stopped attending and/or withdrew before midterm.

“WF” WITHDRAW FAILING–Signifies the student withdrew with a failing grade after midterm. “WF” carries a grade

point value of “0.”

“WP” WITHDRAW PASSING–Signifies the student withdrew with a passing grade after midterm.

 

 

WORK ETHICS

Students will receive (a) work ethics grade(s) (3,2,1 or 0) each quarter for all course except developmental studies courses. The quarterly work ethics grade will not affect the academic grade point average (GPA) of a student; that is, work ethics grade(s) remain separate from academic grades. Work Ethics grade(s) will be printed on quarterly Student Progress Reports and Transcripts.
The work ethics grade(s) is designed to evaluate and encourage good work habits. Performance factors and indicators include, but are not limited to, quality of work, ability to follow instructions, productivity, dependability, honesty, reliability, attendance and punctuality, attitude, integrity, enthusiasm, interpersonal skills, and initiative.

DISABILITY STATEMENT


If there is a student in this class who may need accommodation due to a disability, please feel free to contact me by phone, email, or office appointment and discuss this with me
