Health and Safety Planning Due to COVID-19 2

This section contains critical information as it pertains to health and safety planning on campus. Carefully read this information and let me know if you have any questions. I encourage students to reach out with health, participation, or attendance issues so that we can work on an individualized plan for you. Also, if ill, I encourage you to stay away from campus and to reach out to IU Health for safety and wellness advice, as noted in the previous section.  Please review the policy on facemasks and social distancing as well as the Community Responsibility Agreement. Facial coverings are mandatory in campus buildings and are required to be worn while in the classroom and during class.  Failure to comply with these policies will be handled according to the Student Disciplinary Procedures that accompany the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct and may result in academic sanctions, up to and including expulsion. 

Students also have the ability to report misconduct.

 Food and drink will not be allowed in the classroom unless you have a documented accommodation.  Specific guidelines for steps to take regarding student illness  Students should stay home when sick. Please do not come to campus. If you become ill, please stay home to protect others from infection. Check out this site for symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Staying home also prevents spread of the flu and other diseases. 

If you suspect they have become ill, you should report to IU Health Virtual Visit. Follow instructions to download an app to find care and if you need be tested. If a test is positive, you will receive guidance on quarantining. If you prefer to be in contact with your personal doctor you may do so, but please notify me of your illnesses.

 I encourage open lines of communication about sickness and other emergencies that you may face.  If you are unable to attend class due to a sickness or emergency please contact me at [email protected].

In addition, we will discuss how the different systems of the body work independently and together. The laboratory sessions will be key to your success in this class and designed to support the lecture sessions and your study of human anatomy. This is a 5-credit hour class. We will cover a considerable amount of material this semester.

Course Learning Objectives: By the end of this course, you should be able to: 

Apply the anatomical and medical terminology learned in this course



Identify the different tissues types within the human body



Demonstrate an understanding of the human organ systems to include the Integumentary system, Musculoskeletal System, Nervous System, Endocrine system, Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System, Digestive System, Urinary System and Reproductive System.

How will I know if you achieve these objectives? I use multiple methods to determine how well students achieve course learning objectives. Each student completes a pre-assessment, allowing me to see what you understand before taking the course. The pre-assessment is due August 26th by 11:59 p.m. Completing the pre-assessment and the post-assessment will earn you 2% extra credit on the Final Lecture Exam. I will post the due date of the post-assessment later in the semester. The remaining course assignments allow me to access your achievement of the course learning objectives. At the end of the course, you will complete a post-assessment, which will be the same questions from your pre-assessment. Completion of the post-assessment will provide me with a post-measure of your success. Course Learning Objectives

My expectation is that you review university policies carefully to ensure you understand the policy and possible consequences for violating the policy. Please contact me if you have any university policy. Exams: 

Lecture Exams and Lab Practicals: o Excused Missed Exams-I will apply the following missed exam policy for exams that are missed due to illness, an emergency, etc.  The comprehensive final lecture exam will serve as a make-up exam for one missed lecture exam.  The final lab practical will serve as a make-up exam for one missed lab practical.  If additional exams are missed due to an illness or emergency, I will work with you to develop an individualized plan. o Missed exams because of an unexcused absence-For any unexcused absence, you will earn a 0% on the lecture exam and lab practical. o If no exams are missed, 90% of the comprehensive final lecture exam score will be substituted for the lowest lecture exam.

Exam Administration: 

Lecture Exams and Lab Practical Exams will be administered through Canvas. Exams will open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m. on the scheduled day of the exam.

Incomplete Grades: The grade of I (Incomplete) indicates that the student has satisfactorily completed the major portion of a course but prevented by extraordinary circumstances from completing the balance of the course. The grade of I will be given only if the instructor has sufficient reason to believe that the failure to complete the requirements of the course was beyond the student’s control and that it would be unjust to hold the student to the time limits normally fixed for completion of the required assignments. The grade of I will not be awarded simply to exempt a student from paying tuition for a repeated course.
