Conditions and Expectations

Due to the nature of the course some touching and physical contact may occur. If you feel uncomfortable about this, discuss it with the instructor.

Enrollment in the class is the student's responsibility. The student must notify the registrar of any and all changes of enrollment.

Participants are expected to arrive at the beginning of class; admission is Granted before lecture and after breaks, to prevent disruption, wait for a break before entering. The college and department require attendance at all classes. A participant who exceeds the maximum number of absences will be dropped from the Class. Late enrollment is permitted only after completion of the department's Late enrollment form.

Participants are expected to arrive for class prepared! Pre-lecture preparation include reading the goals and objective stated in the text at the beginning of each chapter. You should flip through the chapter looking at the boldfaced words, examining the figures, and reading the figure captions. This should only take 5 - 10 minutes and is essential in order to be prepared for the lecture. Do not! Try to read the chapter ahead of class. Wait until after the class and then read the chapter. You should read and understand and print out the laboratory assignments before class. There is not enough time to both read and comprehend the laboratory manual/material and complete the lab assignments during class.

The classroom comes with a good supply of models. You are responsible for learning and knowing the models and material associated with the lecture topic. You need to identify the features of lecture diagrams on the models! We have a good collection of microscope slides; you need to learn and know the microscopic anatomy of the materials associated with the lecture topics. You will be tested on this material during the lab practical! You should make use of the time before and after class, lecture, and lab, to review and learn these materials. You should correlate the review diagrams, worksheets, vocabulary and study questions with the available models and slides.

Any questions you may have about the lab should be expressed during/after the lecture and before the lab. You may either speak to me individually or raise question during the brief introduction before the lab. Because the labs are graded, it is not fair for me to provide only one person with the correct answers to the laboratory exercises.

This is a college class. It is expected that you will need to devote 2 - 3 hours outside of class for every hour in class, FOR AN AVERAGE GRADE. For a better grade, it is expected that you need to devote more time. It is highly recommended that you take no other courses concurrently.
