Welcome! ?

• Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology!
• This is a college preparatory course designed for
  students interested in pursuing a career in a
  science-related area, health profession, or who
  simply have an interest in anatomy and
  physiology.
• The focus of this course will be applying
  previously learned concepts of Biology to the
  structure and function of the various organ
  systems, along with their interrelationship and
  homeostatic abilities in the human body.

Attendance

• To ensure success in Honors Biology, it is
  essential that you attend class on a regular
  basis. If you are absent, you are responsible for
  making up all work/assignments missed.
• Using the restroom, going to the office, visiting
  a counselor, etc. should only be done if urgent.

  and available on most days. Please contact me
  verbally or via email if you would like to meet
  with me so we can arrange a time.

10
Academic Dishonesty

• Cheating will be detrimental to your success in
  Honors Biology and will not be tolerated. The
  following acts of cheating will result in
  disciplinary actions as outlined in the student
  handbook
• Passing calculators during a test, quiz, or other
  assessment.
• Copying someone elses test, quiz, homework,
  assignment, or report.
• Allowing someone to copy from your test, quiz,
  homework, assignment, or report.
• Looking at notes during a test, quiz, or other
  assessment.
• Sharing questions from a test with students who
  have yet to take the test.
• Listing someone elses data without giving
  credit, or worse, making up data to fit the
  expected answer.  It is acceptable to present
  your own data, to state the reasons that you feel
  the results should be disregarded, and then to
  present another students data (making sure the
  source is acknowledged).
• Using opinions, facts, ideas, charts, data and
  direct quotes from research papers, newspapers,
  magazines, textbooks, websites, or another person
  without citing the source.

Assessments

• Unit Summative Exams are given once per unit and
  will reflect the standards of the Aurora High
  School Human Anatomy and Physiology Curriculum
  Standards. 
• They will be detailed and comprehensive,
  including multiple-choice, labeling of human body
  diagrams, and essay questions.  
• Frequent formative assessments will be given to
  allow for proper intervention to help ensure your
  success on the Unit Summative Exams. There will
  be no retakes. (Refer to EXTRA HELP above)
• Laboratory work will be directly aligned with the
  topics discussed in class. Be prepared to perform
  cat dissections and to view graphic human body
  images.
• Homework will be given almost every day. Please
  review my Late Work policy.

• The Human Anatomy and Physiology course provides
  an in-depth curriculum that will enable you to
  learn more about yourself and others.
• Whether you are interested in a science-related
  field, health profession, or simply have an
  interest in anatomy and physiology, this course
  is guaranteed to be a rewarding learning
  experience.
• I am very excited to experience this journey with
  you, and am looking forward to an excellent
