1 Piedmont Technical College Course Information Sheet Course Title: Human Anatomy and Physiology I Course Prefix/Number: BIO 210 COURSE-SPECIFIC GRADE CALCULATION Advanced notification of any changes will be provided to the student. Letter grades are assigned according to the numerical average achieved using the following scale: A = ; B = 80-89; C = 70-79; D = 60-69; F = 59 and below; W = Withdrew. The Numerical Average will be determined by the following: 12% - Each for Lecture Exams 1-5 (60% total): The single lowest exam from Exams 1-4 can be replaced by the mandatory cumulative final Exam 5*. 10% - Lab Exam 1 10% - Lab Exam 2 10% - Weekly Lab Quizzes/Assignments/Reports (Laboratory Assessment Quiz for the Osmosis/Diffusion Lab will count for two quiz grades, that cannot be dropped. The lowest of the remaining lab quiz grade will be dropped. (**There is no makeup allowed for missed lab quizzes**) 5% - Connect Quiz Grade (average grade obtained from each quiz for each chapter completed in Connect) 5% - Homework and Class Participation (participation grade and can include, Connect Homework assignments, graded homework, pop quizzes, online projects, graded discussion, class participation, and/or oral presentation.) * The lowest exam grade from lecture exams 1-4 will be replaced with exam 5 grade. Exam 5 will be partially a cumulative exam (35 questions from Unit 5 content and 40 questions from Unit 1-4 content). No other Extra Credit is Available.* January 8,

2 * Under extenuating circumstances, if a second lecture exam or if lecture exam 5 is missed, make ups for the respective exam will be administered as fill in the blank / short answer questions with no associated word bank and spelling will count. If a lab exam is missed the student should make arrangements through D2L, within the week, with the instructor to make up the exam in another section, if available. Alternatively, the student may take a departmental LAB make up exam at a prearranged time. For all other work (homework, classwork, lab work, and lab quizzes) there will be no makeup work allowed for missed assignments and assignments will not be accepted late.)
