Course Description: A systematic approach to the complexity of the human body. Lectures cover cells and tissues, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems.

Course Overview

Teaching Methods The Fall 2020 semester is delivered remotely on-line. The course consists of approximately 3 hours of lecture material per week (a combination of both asynchronous narrated ppt and synchronous zoom tutorials). There is a detailed schedule of what to expect each week outlined later in this course outline (see topics and course schedule). The lecture component will be in the form of narrated ppt slides in an asynchronous (pre-recorded) format. Students can listen to the narrations at any time in a self-directed way. In addition, synchronous tutorials (using zoom) will be held weekly (see topics and course schedule) to discuss important concepts from the narrated ppt and to address any questions students may have. It is important for students to listen to the narrated ppt prior to the zoom tutorials to optimize the learning process. Zoom log-in information is in announcements and the same link will be used for the entire term. Readings and case studies (for selected chapters) are listed at the end of the PowerPoint package. All readings and case studies come from the required (Marieb) textbook.

● Students MUST obtain a cumulative minimum of 45 marks out of 90 total marks assessed by examination (quizzes, midterms, final exam) to pass the course. In other words, even if you have a perfect score on the concept map (which is worth 10 marks), if your cumulative percentage points earned in the examinations is less than 45/90, you will still fail the course. Please note: you can fail one or two assessments, if the combined total of all quizzes, midterms and exam is at least 45/90 marks. ● Students will get their marks back in a timely manner (within a week of submission if not sooner).

Missed Class and/or Evaluations Students are required to inform their instructors of any situation which arises during the semester which may have an adverse effect upon their academic performance and must request any considerations and accommodations according to the relevant policies and well in advance. Failure to do so will jeopardize any academic appeals.

Page 10 of 13

Medical Certificates and Policy Concerning Missed Midterms/assignments: Students are responsible for writing tests/exams and submitting assignments on the dates and times specified by the instructor. If a student misses a scheduled quiz, midterm, or final exam due to unforeseen circumstances, academic consideration MAY (not must) be granted by the instructor provided BOTH of the following are done (as per Senate Policy 134): a) The student must inform their instructor by email, at least 3 hours in advance of the quiz/midterm test/final exam. The student should request academic consideration pending the submission of supporting documentation. B) The student must do the following within three business days of the missed evaluation: 1. Have your physician complete the Student Health Certificate 2. Complete the Academic Consideration Submission Form 3. You must submit your forms to Krista Kamstra in the Nursing Department at Centennial College. Missed Midterms and Quizzes: The weight percentage of a missed midterm will be put on the final exam. There are no make-up midterms. In most cases, missed quizzes will be rescheduled. Missed Final Examination: Alternative exams must be written once the student is physically able. A make-up day and time is arranged by the instructor for students to write the missed final exam. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor to arrange for this. Penalties for late assignment (concept map) are assessed at a deduction of 10% per day.

Religious Observance If a student needs accommodation because of religious observance, they must submit a Request for Accommodation of Student Religious, Aboriginal and Spiritual Observance AND an Academic Consideration form within the first 2 weeks of the class or, for a final examination, within 2 weeks of the posting of the examination schedule. If the required absence occurs within the first 2 weeks of classes, or the dates are not known well in advance as they are linked to other conditions, these forms should be submitted with as much lead time as possible in advance of the required absence. Both documents are available at (PDF) Student Request for Accommodation of Student Religious, Aboriginal

Page 11 of 13

and Spiritual Observance. You must submit your forms to the Nursing Department at Centennial College.

Students who need Academic Accommodation Support Students who need academic accommodation support should register with https://www.centennialcollege.ca/student-life/student-services/centre-for-accessible-learningandcounselling-services/ Before the first graded work is due, registered students should inform their instructors that they are registered with Academic Accommodation Support and what accommodations are required. The instructor will assure that all accommodations are met for the evaluations but please be sure to inform all accommodation requirements as soon as possible and before the end of week 2.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Ryerson’s Academic Integrity Policy applies to all students at the University. The policy and its procedures are triggered if there is a suspicion that a student has engaged in a form of academic misconduct. Forms of academic misconduct include plagiarism, cheating, supplying false information to the University, and other acts. The most common form of academic misconduct is plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious academic offence and penalties can be severe. In any academic exercise, plagiarism occurs when one offers as one’s own work the words, data, ideas, arguments, calculations, designs or productions of another without appropriate attribution or when one allows one’s work to be copied. All academic work must be submitted using the citation style approved by the instructor. Students may refer to the Ryerson Library’s list of Citations and Style Guides for more information. It is assumed that all examinations and work submitted for evaluation and course credit will be the product of individual effort. Submitting the same work to more than one course, without instructor approval, is also considered a form of plagiarism. Students are advised that suspicions of academic misconduct may be referred to the Academic Integrity Office (AIO). Students who are found to have committed academic misconduct will have a Disciplinary Notation (DN) placed on their academic record (not on their transcript) and will be assigned one or more of the following penalties: ● A grade reduction for the work, including a grade of zero for the work. ● A grade reduction in the course greater than a zero on the work.

Page 12 of 13

Note: this penalty can only be applied to course components worth 10% or less. ● An F in the course. ● More serious penalties up to and including expulsion from the University. For more detailed information on these issues, please refer to the full online text for the (PDF) Academic Integrity Policy and to the Academic Integrity website.
