As this is Anatomy, the lecture and lab material are the same. As such, the lab material is taught and discussed in the lecture; therefore, lab is a self-paced/self-learning session. The objective of the selflearning is to encourage students to work by themselves as well as in groups (now in a virtual format), and to use all available resources to learn the material, i.e., videos, PowerPoints, Zoom Lab Office Hours with TAs. Lab quizzes, exams, and homework are given in a multiple-choice format. For any questions regarding lab, please reference the Lab Overview lecture or email our Lab Coordinator, Lindsey Groszer ([email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) ).

Course Objectives

Covid-19 Statement To protect members of our community, everyone is required to wear a facial covering inside all common spaces including classrooms (https://policies.ucf.edu/documents/PolicyEmergencyCOVIDReturnPolicy.pdf) (https://policies.ucf.edu/documents/PolicyEmergencyCOVIDReturnPolicy.pdf)) . Students who choose

not to wear facial coverings will be asked to leave the classroom by the instructor. If they refuse to leave the classroom or put on a facial covering, they may be considered disruptive (please see the Golden Rule (https://goldenrule.sdes.ucf.edu/) for student behavior expectations). Faculty have the right to cancel class if the safety and well-being of class members are in jeopardy. Students will be responsible for the material that would have been covered in class as provided by the instructor. Depending on the course of the pandemic during the semester, the University may make changes to the way classes are offered. If that happens, please look for announcements or messages in Webcourses@UCF or Knights email about changes specific to this course. COVID-19 and Illness Notification – Students who believe they may have a COVID-19 diagnosis should contact UCF Student Health Services (407-823-2509) so proper contact tracing procedures can take place. Students should not come to campus if they are ill, are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, have tested positive for COVID, or if anyone living in their residence has tested positive or is sick with COVID-19 symptoms. CDC guidance for COVID-19 symptoms is located here: (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html) )

Students should contact their instructor(s) as soon as possible if they miss class for any illness reason to discuss reasonable adjustments that might need to be made. When possible, students should contact their instructor(s) before missing class. In Case of Faculty Illness – If the instructor falls ill during the semester, there may be changes to this course, including having a backup instructor take over the course.

Attendance Policy

As we are currently once again experiencing a rise in Covid-19 cases, it is strongly encouraged students practice social distancing and wear a mask when inside and in close proximity of others. Unfortunately, with most lecture classrooms, social distancing may not always be an option, as room size is determined by the exact number of students enrolled in a specific course. For all face-to-face sections of this course, there will be ~450 students in a lecture room at one time. As such, I implore students to use your best judgement to make good decisions regarding your own health and that of those around you. If you have Covid-related symptoms, or are ill in any capacity, do not come to class. Seek medical attention and contact UCF Health Services immediately. You can find more information in the Covid-19 Statement above. Furthermore, Lecture recordings will be made available to all sections so that if students have to miss lecture, they will not miss material covered. Unlike our lecture room, our lab is large and allows students more personal space. Regardless, it is strongly encouraged students do what they feel is needed to protect themselves and others by practicing safe social distancing and wearing a mask while participating in lab. Since Lab is a handson experience, attendance is mandatory. Students will be required to sign in and/or out of their assigned lab. However, please keep in mind, if you are ill or experiencing any symptoms that may suggest you are ill, do not attend lab. Seek medical attention and contact UCF Health Services immediately. As with lecture, we also have recorded lab videos available on our course YouTube channel. To maintain a safe learning environment, all Office Hours and one-on-one meetings will be held via Zoom. It is highly suggested that all students attend Zoom Office Hours. Understandably though, in these unprecedented times, that may not be feasible. As such, one-on-one meetings will be available by appointment with Dr. Dow and my Head Lecture TA, Sebastian Leon for lecture material and your assigned TAs or Lab Coordinator for Lab. For any questions regarding lab, please email your assigned TA or our Lab Coordinator, Lindsey Groszer ([email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) ).

Exams, Quizzes, and Homework

Exams and Quizzes: No exam will be cumulative. Exams and quizzes will utilize a multiple-choice format, including, but not limited to, matching, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, concept-based, clinical, and select all that apply. Exam and quiz content will come from material discussed during lecture/lab, as well as from the textbook reading assignments.

will be dropped. Therefore, if a student misses an exam for a nonemergency or illness-related reason, it will simply count as their lowest score and be dropped. Make-up exams may be granted for documented excused absences. In the case of a make-up exam, the content will be the same; however, a different examination methodology, i.e. oral or essay format, may be used. There will be only one opportunity to make-up a missed exam; if the student does not attend the reposition exam a grade of zero (0%) will be given. Although Lab Practicals will be given during assigned lab times, all other assignments, i.e., lecture exam, quizzes and homework, will be administered online. We will utilize Honorlock for all Lecture Exams. As such, students are required to have access to a computer with a camera, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please review the information page regarding how to setup and use Honorlock (https://webcourses.ucf.edu/courses/1385058/pages/honorlock-for-exams) well before the first exam. In addition, there is a list of rules on the Honorlock For Exams page (https://webcourses.ucf.edu/courses/1385058/pages/honorlock-for-exams) that we will be follow. Please

be familiar with those items. Scantrons: Lecture exams, homework, and quizzes will be administered in an online format. Lab practicals will be given during face-to-face lab session. Thus, you will need to bring five (5) pink (100 question) scantrons the first week of lab with you. Homework: Homework for lecture and lab will be completed and submitted within Webcourses. Homework questions will utilize a multiple-choice format, including, but not limited to, matching, fill-inthe-blank, true/false, concept-based, clinical, and select all that apply. Homework questions will be based on material covered in the assigned readings from the textbook. No late work will be accepted.

UCF is committed to a policy that entitles honesty in academic affairs. Any conduct that comprises a breach of this policy shall result in academic and/or disciplinary action which affects student’s grades and enrollment status. Cheating whereby non-permissible written, visual, or oral assistance including but not limited to that obtained from another student is utilized on normative exercises. Unauthorized possession/use of examination or course related material might also constitute cheating. Plagiarism whereby another’s work is deliberately used or appropriated without any indication of the original source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student’s own. Any student failing to properly credit ideas or materials from another has plagiarized. Similarly, a student who has assisted another in any of the aforementioned breach of standards shall be considered equally culpable. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Persistency in such conduct, which includes but is not necessarily limited to, inappropriate and/or malicious, vulgar, or vindictive speech, harassment of any form, threats, or gestures in an online forum, discussion group, or during an exam. If the professor deems it necessary, you may be asked to leave discussion groups and/or an incident will be filed with Student Conduct and Academic Integrity. Emails should always be written in a professional manner, containing an appropriate greeting, your name, class and section, question or concern utilizing complete sentences, and closing. You are communicator with your Professor, not texting a friend. If any unprofessional and/or disrespectful emails are received, by the Professor, Lab Coordinator, Head TA, or TA in this course, it will be at their discretion if they want to answer or simply disregard. In addition, just like in Office Hours. Zoom meetings, face-to-face lecture and lab sessions, rudeness will not be tolerated. If it occurs, you will be asked to leave the online platform or classroom.

Student Accessibility

UCF is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all persons with disabilities. This syllabus is available in alternate formats upon request. Students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course must contact the professor at the beginning of the semester to discuss needed accommodations. No accommodations will be provided until the student has met with the professor to request accommodations. Students who need accommodations must be registered with the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) office. The office is located at Ferrell Commons (Building 7F) Room 185. For more information please contact SAS via phone at 407-8232371 or visit their website (http://sas.sdes.ucf.edu/).

Campus Safety

Emergencies on campus are rare, but if one should occur in the class, we will all need to work together. Everyone should be aware of the surroundings and familiar with some basic safety and security concepts. In case of an emergency, dial 911. Every UCF classroom contains an emergency procedure guide posted on a wall near the door. Please make a note of the guide’s physical location and consider reviewing the online version at http://emergency.ucf.edu/emergency_guide.html Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes from each of your classrooms and have a plan for finding safety in case of an emergency. If there is a medical emergency during class, you may need to access a first-aid kit or AED if trained to do so. To learn where those items are located in a specific building on campus, visit http://www.ehs.ucf.edu/AEDlocations-UCF. To stay informed about emergency situations, sign up to receive UCF text alerts by going to my.ucf.edu and logging in to your account. If you have a special need related to emergency situations, please speak to me privately during office hours. Consider viewing the following video regarding how to deal with an active shooter situation on campus: You CAN Survive an Active Shooter (https://youtu.be/NIKYajEx4pk) You CAN Survive an Active Shooter (https://youtu.be/NIKYajEx4pk)

Academic Dishonesty

The UCF Golden Rule policies for academic dishonesty will be upheld throughout the duration of this course. Any form of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated! Evidence of academic dishonesty will be submitted to the Dean of Student's Office, with the maximum punishment recommended. Although you will be collaborating with your lab partner(s) while learning the information, test taking is an individual effort. Copying of information during tests or quizzes will be considered collusion or plagiarism. Other examples of cheating are: signing in/out for other individuals, removing items from the lab that are prohibited for removal, as well as any other obvious forms of academic dishonesty. Knowledge of other individuals cheating will also be regarded as academic dishonesty and will be dealt with as such. Pay close attention to UCF Golden Rule policies and maintain ethical academic behavior at all times! UCF Policy on disruptive classroom behavior will be followed for all labs. A grade of zero or an oral make-up exam will be ...
