You may not collaborate with your classmates on any quizzes or the final exam. You can access the exams through Blackboard (msudenver.blackboard.com). You will have 30 minutes hours to complete each quiz and 120 minutes to complete the final exam.  However, only one chance to complete it. Online quizzes/exam open at 12:01 am on the date listed above and close at 11:59 pm on the date listed above. If you miss the due date for an online exam, notify your instructor. Late online quizzes will have an automatic deduction of 5 points per day late.  A late final exam will have an automatic deduction of 10 points per day late, but will not be accepted at all past May 18, 2019.  Click on the exam link, read the instructions, and then click “begin.” You may save your answers as you go, or wait until the end and save all of the answers and then “save and submit.” After it is submitted, click “ok” to view your results to learn from this assessment. There is a practice test that you may try at any time to make sure your web browser is compatible with Blackboard and to get familiar with the format. No points are awarded nor deducted for results on the practice test.
  • 2. LAB EXAMS: There will be 3 lab exams each worth 50 points each plus 1 Review Sheets Assignment worth 20 points (170 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 review sheet assignment consists of completing 1. the Review Sheet in your Marieb Laboratory Manual “Exercise 13 Review Sheet: Gross Anatomy of the Muscular System” PLUS 2. the review sheet on Skeletal Muscle Physiology found here. (Skeletal Muscle Review Sheet)  You may do these review sheets at home. The two review exercises are due on your very next lab period when we dissect the brain.  10 points are possible for complete and accurate answers of each review exercise for a total of 20 points.
  • 3.  ASSIGNMENTS:  There are 4 online assignments each worth 50 points.  The assignments may be found on Blackboard.  The assignments are all open on the first day of the semester, but are due at 11:55 pm. on the dates listed above.  Late assignment submission has an automatic deduction of 5 points per day late.  You do not have to complete the assignments in one sitting.  You may save your answers, log out, and return to work on it later.  However, once you hit “save and submit,” you may not work on it anymore.
  • 4. POINT TOTALS: The total number of points possible for the course is 750. Letter grades will be assigned on a percentage basis, as follows:
    • A= 675-750
    • B = 600-674
    • C = 525-599
    • D = 450-524
    • F = Fewer than 450 points
