Academic Integrity: Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton s Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits: cheating, plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation), falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth), helping others to cheat, unauthorized changes on official documents, pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you, making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and any other behavior that violates academic integrity. There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton s policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years. Details of the Code of Academic Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook. VI. Tentative Syllabus:

Please note the following deadlines: September 20, 2009 September 20, 2009 October 18, 2009 Last Day to withdraw and have the class dropped from the student s record Last Day to change to an Audit Last Day to withdraw from a class with a W VII. Methods of Instruction: Many handouts will be given to students to facilitate and guide their learning. Complex concepts will be presented in a step-wise flow chart manner for better understanding of interrelationships. Out-of-class review sessions will be given to help students review anatomical specimens and physiological concepts presented in class. VIII. Course Practices Required: 1. Attend lectures 2. Attend lab 3 hour sessions each week 3. Do homework assignments (readings, review sheets, programmed learning exercises, worksheets) 4. Exams, quizzes, lab practicals IX. Instructional Materials: 1. Textbook: Human Anatomy and Physiology, 8 th Edition Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn 2. Dissecting Kit and Gloves 3. Box of Colored Pencils X. Method of Evaluating Student Progress: The tentative list of exams, practicals and quizzes with their respective points are listed on the record sheet. Note tentatively seven to eight quizzes are scheduled, the highest six quizzes being calculated in the final grade. The semester grade is determined by a point system. If the total number of points changes, the ranges will be adjusted accordingly. A 747-830 points 90-100% B 664-746 80-89% C 581-663 70-79% D 498-580 60-69% F 0-497 0-59% If you would like to determine your grade any time during the semester:
a) Add your points b) Add total possible points at that point in time c) Divide the smaller number (your points) by the larger number (total possible points) d) Multiply the resulting number by 100 to obtain your percent XI. Other course Information: It is CRITICAL that students take all exams at the scheduled time. Make-up exams will be allowed only for VALID, EXTREME reasons, and only if notification is received within 24 hours of the original exam time. ALL make-up exams will have points deducted on an escalating scale: First make-up exam taken will have 10 points deducted. second make-up exam taken will have 20 points deducted, etc. A make-up exam MUST be taken within a week of the original exam, after which the grade becomes ZERO. There are NO make-ups for quizzes, lab practicals or final exam. XII. If you have a documented learning, psychological, or physical disability you may be entitled to reasonable academic accommodations or services. To request accommodations or services, contact the ASSIST office in Instructional Support Services. All students are expected to fulfill essential course requirements. The College will not waive any essential skill or requirement of a course or degree program. Page 4
