MLS 4308C HEMATOLOGY and HEMOSTASIS

Fall 2001

WELCOME TO HEMATOLOGY AND HEMOSTASIS! This syllabus is designed to keep you well informed during your tenure in this course. It contains a course description, course goals, learning objectives, a schedule of events, reference sources, as well as, details about course grading. This document is meant to be a working one: deletions and additions will be made to it, so keep it available whenever you’re in class.

COURSE CESCEIPTION

Lecture and laboratory course integrates theory with application of hematology and hemostasis diagnostic procedures, interpretation, problem solving and correlation of laboratory findings with disease states. Topics include hematopoiesis, cell morphology and hematologic evaluation of peripheral blood and bone marrow, anemias, thalassemias and hemoglobinopathies, myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphoproliferative and myeloproliferative disorders, immunoproliferative disorders, and malignant lymphomas. Overview of hemostasis provides studies in coagulation, platelet disorders and bleeding abnormalities.

COURSE EXPECTATIONS

This course is designed to allow you maximum opportunity to explore and learn the art and science of hematology and hemostasis. You will have an opportunity to learn by attending class, following directions, asking questions, making observations, conducting experiments, reading, evaluating case studies, exploring databanks, playing games, and of course, the ever popular, taking quizzes and exams. However, to complete course requirements, and to successfully pass the course with a “C” or better, you will have to commit your learning resources [e.g., time, attitude] to that end. Additionally, your success will also depend upon how well you adhere to the course policies and requirements which follow.

COURSE POLICIES

❖ Assignments: complete assignments {e.g., reading, lab reports} before class. Unless otherwise stated, completed written assignments are collected at the beginning of class on the date due. Unexcused late work is assigned “0” points.

❖ Attendance: mandatory and graded. Tardiness, leaving class, or missing class minimizes your opportunity to learn, and thus affects your grade. For example, unexcused tardiness may mean missing a quiz, resulting in zero point assignment. Unexcused absences result in lost time in lab skill development, or missed opportunities to acquire needed information. In all cases, your professional demeanor suffers, resulting in point deductions. Unusual circumstances resulting in tardiness or class absence will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the instructor. The circumstances must be communicated TO THE INSTRUCTOR as soon as possible in cases of tardiness, and within twenty-four hours from the class time missed in cases of absence. Excused absences and make-up work must be negotiated with the instructor.

❖ Resource management: prioritize class time, listen carefully, follow instructions, and ask questions when you do not understand.

❖ Academic integrity: the instructor adheres to the FGCU policy on academic integrity. See the FGCU Student Guidebook online at

❖ Grading:

Exam 1 = 100 A = 450 – 500

Exam 2 = 100 B = 400 – 449

Exam 3 = 100 C = 350 – 399

Final Exam = 100 D = 300 – 349
