In accordance with Madonna University policy, students are required to attend all classes. Only excused absences with a doctor or hospital note, accident report, written excuse from employer for out-of-town assignment, or death in family can exempt a student from attendance. Extended absences, whether excused or not, are to be reported to the Office of Student Life (734) 432-5428, and students will be strongly encouraged to consider withdrawal, in order to avoid failure in the course. Note: An absence for any reason does not excuse a student from knowing and applying the objectives of any given course activity.Extra Credit: NONE: There is no provision in this course for improving a grade by extra work.

This is accessed from the opening page of the University's Website from the "Quick Links" drop-down box or by following link: instructor will inform you when during the semester the SEFI can be accessed.Emergency Continuation of Instruction:In the event of a city-wide or regional crisis or emergency that prevents students from traveling to campus (such as a flu epidemic), course instruction will be continued on the class's Blackboard site, provided that campus technology and electricity are operating. If campus facilities, technology, and electricity are not operational, students should continue doing their reading and assignments until they receive communication from the instructor or the University.Assignments and Miscellaneous InformationPERSONAL NOTE TO STUDENTSBe aware that BIO 2440 is a content-intensive course intended to help you develop into a competent professional. My challenge is to get you to be the very best that you can be. Therefore, my exams are thorough and challenging without being impossible. I have high expectations that will determine certain limitations for you. Hopefully you will grow academically from your classroom experiences by viewing each exam as a tool for learning.Look upon this course as a journey over and through the human body. You must be able to develop mental pictures of what is being described. My role is to lead you on this journey with accuracy and precision at a rather fast pace. You do not want to fall behind. Develop a schedule that actually works for your particular situation, and do not be afraid to modify it accordingly. Realize that we can only be successful on this journey by your active participation and by the cooperation of your loved ones. Tell them that you are going to be quite busy for the next 12 weeks. Develop effective and efficient study techniques. Your efforts should then be rewarded by “pride in accomplishment”.Tardiness is not acceptable. Class begins promptly. You should be in your seat with your notes and other materials ready at that time. Students who enter the room after class has already begun are distracting to me and to the other students in the class who are prepared and on time. Do not talk with your neighbor while I am lecturing. There will be time for discussion with classmates on various topics, but not while I am speaking. The noise is distracting to me and to other students in the class. If you have a question about the lecture material, please raise your hand and ask me directly. I strongly encourage you to ask questions, since this is the only way for me to learn if students need additional explanations or information. If you carry a personal phone or beeper, please turn it off during class. Do not be afraid to ask questions!!!!!Suggestions – You may find it advantageous to:bring the text to lecture,bring the text and lab manual to lab,see the instructor about any problems which affect your grade (missing tests, study problems, illness, deaths in family, etc.),use the books in the bookcase in the lab,tape the lectures, make up missed work as soon as possible,see the instructor during office hours or prearranged times for asking questions, etc.,review the chapter objectives, summary and review questions,complete the Review Sheets in the lab manual (at the end of each Exercise) check out books from the library,obtain a tutor through the Center for Personal Instruction (CPI) in Room 1400, phone: (734-432-5599),keep your own updated record of your scores,write your name in your book andstudy at least one hour each day,review the CD programs that accompany your test and lab manual.LABORATORY INFORMATIONLaboratory SafetyA copy of “Science & Safety, Making the Connection” (guidelines for classroom safety identified by the council of State Science Supervisors) can be found in the laboratory. The guidelines can also be accessed at downloads/scisafe.pdfYou should familiarize yourself with the location and use of the safety facilities available in the lab. The safety facilities include the First Aid Kit, safety eyewash, fire extinguisher, telephone, and fire exits. Please read the inside front cover of your lab manual, which lists 16 A&P Lab Safety Guidelines.GLOVES (latex or vinyl) ARE ALWAYS WORN WHEN DEALING WITH ANY BODY FLUIDS - including helping someone with a cut!! The First Aid Kit is in the front closet on the top shelf.Latex & vinyl gloves are provided for your use in lab for dissections. Please use the same pair throughout a particular class session (if you leave the room for some reason, plan to reuse your gloves). At the end of a particular session (scheduled lab or open lab), please discard your gloves properly.Laboratory FeeThe laboratory fee does not cover in entirety the cost of lab materials and equipment. Should a student break or damage equipment that has a repair or replacement cost of $10 or more, the student will be charged the cost of repair or replacement of damaged equipment. If the person(s) responsible for equipment breakage or damage does not notify the instructor of a breakage or damage situation, all groups using the workstation at the time an instructor determines that there is a problem will be equally assessed the cost of repair or replacement.Laboratory AttendanceYou are expected to attend all lab sessions - this reduces confusion amongst lab partners, especially when dissections are being conducted. Lab partners will rely upon each other’s assistance during lab. Therefore, lab sessions are not interchangeable. If you miss a lab session, please notify the lab instructor as soon as possible.No food or drink is permitted in classrooms for your health and safety! (The adjacent room is the Microbiology lab and many spores travel between the rooms). Leave food and drink containers in the wastebasket upon entering the lab. Do not leave on the tables or chairs or in the sinkwells.Inclement Weather and School Closings - Announcements will be made on TV and radio stations. Sometimes decisions are made after you leave for classes. Use your own discretion about coming to class - if conditions are dangerous, please do not risk driving to classes.There are no make-up exams. The only possible exceptions are:You are in the hospital. This requires a note from your physician that you were in the hospital on the date of the exam.The death of an immediate family member (spouse, child, sibling, or parent). A death notice is required. The death must have occurred within three days prior to the exam.Tips for Success: Skim through the notes and the corresponding chapter in the text, noting the bolded section headings, so you will have some idea of the topic to be discussed.Attend class regularly, pay attention, and take notes in class. The lecture notes I provide are an outline, and I supplement them with information that is either spoken or written during class. You should be alert and engaged during the lecture so that you can take note of important points that I cover verbally.Ask questions! If you do have a question about a term or a concept, other students may be wondering the same thing. Raise your hand and ask the question as it occurs to you because you are likely to forget if you save it until the end. I strongly encourage you to ask your questions during class, although you are always welcome to e-mail me or come before or stay after class and ask questions then, too. After class, review your notes by reading through them. Next, go to the text and read or re-read the assigned material. This should reinforce the concepts that we have discussed during class. In order to excel at any subject, you must spend some time on it every day! If you save your work for the last minute and don’t regularly read the text or review your notes, you will have a lot of difficulty with this course.Get to know your classmates and form a study group. It is best to study with other students so that you can test one another and discuss key ideas and concepts from class. Students often “fool themselves” into thinking they know the material, only to discover (usually during the first exam) that they didn’t know it very well at all. If study guides are provided - use them! These are generally posted one week prior to the exam. It is important to review the questions on the study guide, as these often show up word-for-word on the exam. Just because a topic isn’t covered on the study guide or practice exam does not mean you don’t have to know it; any material from the lecture or text is fair game for examination questions. The study guide will, however, emphasize the main points and most important concepts, and it is a valuable resource.
