* The
prerequisites for advanced science courses identified by an * are the completion
of one of the following: A minimum ACT composite of 21 on the science component,
b) completion of three high school science courses (biology, chemistry,
or physics) with no grade lower than a “C”,
or c) credit for BIO 1134. A study of anatomy and physiology of the human body as an integrated whole with more detailed studies of the skeletal, integumentary, muscular and nervous systems.
Instructor: Mr. Spence Office: F 23 Telephone: (228) 897 – 3750 e-mail: charles.spence@mgccc.edu
Office Hours: Regular office hours for this semester will be posted at F - 23. Students may request and make arrangements for consultations as needed.
Instructional Materials, Supplies, and Equipment: For the lab, students must supply their own dissection gloves. They are available from the bookstore and commercial sources.
Instructions for Additional Help: Students are encouraged to seek help from the instructor. My office hours are posted outside F-23. Students are encouraged to review lab materials in F-22 outside class any time an instructor is available to unlock the lab. I regularly schedule review sessions outside class prior to each lecture exam. The Learning Lab in the G building has science personnel available to assist students. Their facilities include a (plastic) human skeleton, histology microscope slides and a microscope. They will show relevant videotapes at the student's request. Students will be given a list of helpful videotapes in the college library.
Instructional Methods: Instructional methods will include lectures, video presentations, written lab exercises, microscopic study, lab dissections and study of models.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND PROCEDURES: The following items represent some basic classroom procedures and expectations: 1. Students are expected to attend each class. 2. Each class will begin with a time allocated to answer any questions concerning prior material and assignments. 3. Since the learner must be actively involved for learning to take place, classroom interaction is very important in this class. 4. Do not hesitate to ask questions of the instructor. Allow the instructor you if you do not fully comprehend any content or assignments. 5. Students are encouraged to keep notes up to date and well organized. 6. It is strongly urged to keep notes up to date and well organized. 7. All assignments are due on the date as instructed. No credit (points) will be given for assignments turned in late. 8. Final grades will be assigned based on performance for examinations, completion of assignments, and classroom participation. 9. There are NOT any extra credit assignments (points) for this class. 10. Cellular telephones and beepers are NOT permitted in the classroom.
COURSE EVALUATION/GRADING:
ABSENTEE POLICY:
Students are allowed one hour of absence per semester hour for lecture courses and one hour of absence per laboratory period. Three hours of absences are allowed per semester hour for clinical/internship courses. If course objectives require a combination of lecture, lab or clinical/internship time, then the absences will be apportioned according to the limitations stated. Excessive tardiness will NOT be tolerated and will count as absences. An instructor may drop a student after the student misses more than the number of absences per semester hour that the course carries. Excused absences are permitted at the discretion of the instructor and are not counted as absences. Instructors will be notified of such absences by the college. In extenuating circumstances, students who are dropped after exceeding allowable absences may petition to the Dean of Instruction who advises the student of the proper procedure.
