EXAMS AND GRADES:
- 1. LECTURE EXAMS: There will be 4 lecture exams for a total of 450 points. All exams are cumulative. Exams 1,2,3 are each worth 100 points- with about 10-15% of exams 2 & 3 covering “old” material. The final is worth 150 points-with 100 points new material and 50 points cumulative. Lecture exams consist of objective, short answer, and essay questions.
- 2. LAB EXAMS: There will be 2 lab exams each worth 50 points plus 1 computer assignments each worth 10 points (110 total). Lab exams will consist of short answer and identification questions. The lab, therefore, will be worth about 1/4 of your course grade. The computer exercise is Physioex Exercise 2 in lab manual, the Physioex Skeletal Muscle Physiology Computer simulation. You may do this exercise at home. It is due on your very next lab period when we dissect the brain. Instructions for the exercise may be found in your lab manual. The computer exercise may also be found at www.mastering aandp.com. Upon completion, complete the review sheet online OR the one in your lab manual. 10 points are possible for complete and accurate completion of the review sheet.
- 3. POINT TOTALS: The total number of points possible for the course is 560. Letter grades will be assigned on a percentage basis, as follows:
- A= 504-560
- B = 448-503
- C = 392-447
- D = 336-391
- F = Fewer than 336 points
- 4. There will not be any exam make-ups allowed excepting for extenuating circumstances. If this occurs, I must be notified in person or by phone message BEFORE the exam begins. Make-up exams will be essay tests.
- 5. Lab exam make-ups MUST be taken within one week of scheduled exam date.
- 6. The room door closes 15 minutes after the start of the class period on exam day. No exam may be started after this time.
- 7. EXTRA CREDIT – You may earn up to 2 points of EXTRA CREDIT per textbook chapter by submitting multiple choice quiz results to your instructor, for a total of 30 extra credit points. (No credit given for chapter 5.) You may access these quizzes from Seeley’s website (www.mhhe.com/seeley10). You do not need any access code. Go to the Online Learning Center, Student Edition. Next choose the chapter that you wish to study and take the Multiple Choice quiz (either quiz 1 OR 2, not both). Take the quiz by clicking on the answer. Submit the quiz and E-mail the results to your instructor. Submit each quiz only once. You may only submit corresponding chapter quizzes before, or on, exam day over those particular chapters. For example, once you have taken Exam 1, you may no longer submit quiz results for Chapters 1-8. (For technical help on Seeley’s website, contact www.mhhe.com/support)

Class Attendance on Religious Holidays: Students at MSU Denver who, because of their sincerely held religious beliefs, are unable to attend classes, take examinations, participate in graded activities or submit graded assignments on particular days shall, without penalty, be excused from such classes and be given a meaningful opportunity to make up such examinations and graded activities or assignments provided that advance written notice that the students will be absent for religious reasons is given to faculty members during the first two weeks of the semester.
Nothing in paragraph 1 of this policy shall require MSU Denver faculty members to reschedule classes, repeat lectures or other ungraded activities or provide ungraded individualized instruction solely for the benefit of students, who for religious reasons, are unable to attend regularly scheduled classes or activities. However, presentations, critiques, conferences and similar activities involving students shall be scheduled to avoid conflicts with such students’ religious observances or holidays, provided that reasonable advance notice of scheduling conflicts is given to faculty members. Because classroom attendance and participation is an important aspect of learning, MSU Denver students should not register for courses if regularly scheduled classes or activities routinely conflict with their observances or holidays (e.g. conflicts resulting in weekly absences for an entire semester.) Any MSU Denver student who believes that an MSU Denver faculty member has violated this policy is entitled to seek relief under Section V of the MSU Denver Equal Opportunity Grievance Procedure.

Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty is a serious offense at the University because it diminishes the quality of scholarship and the learning experience for everyone on campus. An act of Academic Dishonesty may lead to sanctions including a reduction in grade, probation, suspension, or expulsion. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, submitting the same paper or work for more than one class, and facilitating academic dishonesty. For definitions and more information, see the Student Handbook which is available online through Connect U. “As students, faculty, staff and administrators of Metropolitan State University of Denver, it is our responsibility to uphold and maintain an academic environment that furthers scholarly inquiry, creative activity and the application of knowledge. We will not tolerate academic dishonesty. We will demonstrate honesty and integrity in all activities related to our learning and scholarship. We will not plagiarize, fabricate information or data, cheat on tests or exams, steal academic material, or submit work to more than one class without full disclosure.”
