Commitment

• Like BIOL 241, this is a very difficult class
  that requires learning what is essentially a new
  language
• Less memorizing, more processes
• The class is designed by the college as an
  overview lots of breadth, little depth
• Expect 25 hours of reading and studying each
  week in addition to class sessions
• The pace is a little frantic so missing class is
  not recommended.

15
Exams

• First 4 exams
• In class
• 75 points each
• 1 hour 20 minutes to complete
• Final (Exam 5)

  essay, and diagram labeling
• You will need a Scantron form and a 2 pencil for
  each exam.
• Not cumulative per se

18
In Class Exams

• Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up due to
  tardiness or absence. Students with extraordinary
  circumstances should discuss them with the
  instructor as soon as the situation occurs.
• If you know ahead of time that you will miss an
  exam for a valid reason, I may be able to
  accommodate you but let me know as far ahead of
  time as possible.

19

• 100 points
• All short answer and/or essay
• Assigned the final weekend of class (3/16-3/17)
• Due via email at midnight on Friday, 3/22

20
Labs

• In 242, most lab exercises require your presence
  in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory
  exercise should come in during open lab time to
  make up that exercise. Wet lab activities like
  dissections cannot be made up.
• Lab assignments are always due the following week
• Lab activities are designed to help prepare you
  for the practicals, but lab material is also fair
  game on exams

21
Lab Practicals

• Two, each worth 100 points
• Cover the material on the Lab Practical Study
  Guide in the syllabus
• They will involve identifying slides, models, or
  diagrams, and answering related questions
• Because of the time required to set up these
  quizzes, they cannot be made up. If you miss it,
  you are out of luck.

22
Lab Practicals

• 2/9 Practical 1 Chaps 16-21
• 3/16 Practical 2 Chaps 22-27
• Consult the Lab Practical Study Guide in the
  syllabus for details on what you are expected to
  know for each.

23
Labs

• 150 points total
• For each lab assigned, complete all the questions
  on the lab manual Review Sheet at the end of
  each lab entitled and turn it in to me the week
  following each lab. NOTE you must turn in the
  actual pages torn out of a laboratory manual no
  photocopies will be accepted.

24
Lab Assignments

• In addition to the Review Sheet, in 242 most labs
  will have a lab assignment sheet that goes with
  each lab. These are available on the website and
  it is your responsibility to print out the
  relevant ones to bring with you to class each
  Saturday.
• Most all the material for the practicals will
  come from these assignments.

25
Class Assignments

• 50 points
• In class group work or individual take-home
• Case study or in-depth look at a topic
• 2-4 will be assigned, depending on timing

26
Lectures

• Lecture slides available on course website before
  lecture (all are posted now)
• Lecture material (slides, plus what I say in
  class) will be primarily what I ask about on exams

27
Objectives

• List of learning goals that need to be achieved
  for you to do well in this class
• Contain what the I and other teachers at NSCC
  have deemed to be the most important things for
  you to know to go on in a health-related career
• These are a general overview of what you should
  know for the exams.
• Available on the course website

28
Saturday Class

• The Saturday class is one week shorter than the
  other classes
• This causes some scheduling issues that mean that
  the timing of labs is not always optimal with
  respect to the lecture
• Also as a result, we will have to skip through
  some portions of the lecture slides you will
  still be responsible for the material on the exam
• For the exams, study the notes and use the
  objectives as your guide for studying the notes

29
Saturday Class

• Both lecture and lab (usually a little more
  lecture than lab)
• In addition to short breaks every hour or so,
  there will be a lunch break each class session.
  Often it works best to combine this break with
  lab time and have a long break in the middle of
  the day for both lunch and lab.

30
Attendance

• Students should try to attend every class
  session. If you miss a class session, it is your
  responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to
  make up laboratory experiments and to obtain
  handouts, assignments or other materials
  distributed in class. ESPECIALLY because we meet
  only once a week.
