      TYPES of ASSESSMENTS\/ASSIGNMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

      LECTURE\u00a0EXAMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      There will be 4 lecture exams, each worth\u00a050 points (50 questions)<\/strong>\u00a0for a total of 200 points. All exams are online and taken at the McGraw-Hill Connect site.\u00a0 Exams open at 12 am on\u00a0Thursday<\/strong>\u00a0and close at 11:59 pm on\u00a0Saturday<\/strong>\u00a0for the dates given above. \u00a0Lecture exams consist of multiple choice and true\/false questions. A 10% deduction per day will be taken away from your exam scores for any exams taken and submitted after the due date. \u00a0No late submissions once the semester is over. \u00a0No other make-up opportunities exist. Exams cover the same material that you will be studying in the Smart Book chapter questions completed for homework and described below.\u00a0 Exams are not comprehensive.<\/p>\n

      You will be given one chance to take each exam and a time limit of\u00a050 minutes<\/strong>. \u00a0 All exams must be taken during the dates listed on the Connect homepage.\u00a0 \u00a0To\u00a0prevent any computer problems during the exams, try the \u201cPractice Exam,\u201d worth zero points, to make sure\u00a0the format works with\u00a0your computer.\u00a0 Any technical problems you experience during exams require\u00a0that you immediately contact McGraw Hill Tech support (info at the end of this syllabus) AND your instructor. \u00a0When you are ready to take your exam, simply click on it and click \u201cBegin.\u201d \u00a0Note that answers are automatically saved as you click your answer. \u00a0However, you can return to any question, and change the answer, as long as you have not yet submitted it and have not yet run out of time. \u00a0The menu to navigate through the questions is at the bottom of your screen. \u00a0As you finish the last question and you are done, click submit.\u00a0 Note:\u00a0 Depending on your computer settings, you may need to scroll down to see ALL of the multiple choice answers.<\/p>\n

      Tips for success on the exams: Completing the Smart Book homework questions AND glancing at my outlines or learning objectives for each exam from my homepage at\u00a0http:\/\/sites.msudenver.edu\/haysc<\/a>.\u00a0 (Note, look for a link to the answers to those lecture objectives at the bottom of my\u00a0\u201csites\u201d course homepage at this site too.)<\/p>\n

      You may see your exam score through\u00a0 \u201cRESULTS\u201d from your Connect homepage menu (it looks like an upward trend on a graph).<\/p>\n

      HOMEWORK:\u00a0 SMART BOOK CHAPTER QUESTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      You will be required to\u00a0 complete a set of Smart Book chapter questions from the Connect site for EACH chapter that is covered in this course. \u00a0The maximum points you can earn for completing these modules is 400 total points for the entire course.\u00a0 Exam One covers chapters\u00a0 1, 2,3,4,6,7,8 and the corresponding homework questions for these chapters will be 100 points if you complete all of the questions.\u00a0 Yes, your score is based on COMPLETION, not whether or not you got the questions right.\u00a0 Then, Exam Two covers chapters 9,10 and the corresponding homework questions for these chapters will also be 100 points if you complete all of the questions\u2026 and so on through the Exam Three and Four chapters.\u00a0 \u00a0 Note that there are due dates for these Smart Book \u00a0homework assignments.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t complete a homework chapter by the due date, a score will automatically be recorded for your work up until the due date. Since you have access to the Smart Book homework questions from the first day of class, there are\u00a0no due date extensions<\/strong>\u00a0for the homework assignments (start early!)<\/p>\n

      You can access the Smart Book homework questions by clicking the Smart Book arrow on the right of each listed homework assignment and then click \u201cBegin.\u201d \u00a0This brings you to the correct e-book chapter and then you should start with reading the chapter, especially the highlighted sections.\u00a0(Note:\u00a0 The yellow highlights mean you need to focus on the material and blue highlights are meant for just perusing the major concepts. If the highlights annoy you,\u00a0 you can access the e-text directly from the menu on your homepage and avoid the highlighting.)<\/em>\u00a0Whenever you feel ready, go to Questions.\u00a0 Each question requires you to click on the answer as well as your confidence level for your answer.\u00a0 If, at anytime you need to switch back to your textbook, just click on the Reading icon.\u00a0 You can then return to the Questions at anytime.<\/p>\n

      You will have the full amount of points with 100% completion of each chapter because your grade is based on completion, not the number of questions you get right.\u00a0 However, if you miss a question, the system will ask you that question again and again, to make sure you know it.\u00a0 Please note, that these chapter questions are time-consuming and should not be done at the last minute!\u00a0 \u00a0You may do the Smart Book homework questions more, even if you have 100% completion, as this completion percent will not change.\u00a0 \u00a0You do this by clicking on \u201crecharge\u201d from the Assignments page. For more details, read the FAQs from the bottom of this syllabus.<\/p>\n

      LABORATORY ASSIGNMENTS and EXAMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      You must attend traditional on-campus laboratories each week.<\/strong>\u00a0They will follow the\u00a0laboratory objectives<\/a>.\u00a0 There will be 3 lab exams each worth 70 points plus a muscle assignment \u00a0(consisting of 2 review sheets) worth 20 points (230 total). Lab exams will consist of short answer and identification questions and will only test on material from the laboratory objectives.<\/p>\n

      Lab exams are online on\u00a0Canvas<\/strong> instead of in class.\u00a0 Lab tests only cover material from the lab objectives and none of the tests are comprehensive.\u00a0\u00a0 The online lab test is primarily fill in the blank questions randomly selected from a test bank and opens Thursday and closes Saturday at 11:59 pm according to the Schedule of Activities.\u00a0 The online lab tests have 35 questions at 2 points each, 45 minutes.\u00a0 There is a practice online lab test on Canvas if you wish to check it out. I do put my eyes on every completed exam to double check the computer grading. Lab exams submitted late will have a 10% deduction per day late.<\/p>\n

      The muscle assignment is described in your laboratory objectives. and is completed during week ten and consists of completing 1.\u00a0the Review Sheet in your Marieb Laboratory Manual<\/a>\u00a0\u201cExercise 13 Review Sheet: Gross Anatomy of the Muscular System\u201d\u00a0PLUS<\/strong>\u00a02. the\u00a0 sheet on Skeletal Muscle Physiology found here. (Skeletal Muscle Review Sheet<\/a>) \u00a0You may do these review sheets at home. The two review exercises are due\u00a0 when we dissect the brain the following week, by Apr 11 at 11:59 pm at the latest. \u00a010 points are possible for complete and accurate\u00a0<\/u>answers of each review exercise for a total of 20 points. You will lose 5 points per day that they are submitted late.<\/p>\n

      FAQs for Connect:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      May I post messages on McGraw Hill Connect?<\/strong>\u00a0 Only your instructor may post messages, if you need to get a message to me, use my email.<\/p>\n

      What are my grades on Smart Book homework questions and how much do I have left to complete?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0You will only receive a grade (points) on the Smart Book homework questions if, either you complete the entire chapter, OR the due date has passed<\/u>. \u00a0The assignments homepage shows the due date for all Smart Book homework chapter questions as well as the dates during which you must take the four exams.\u00a0 The \u201cResults\u201d tab\u00a0 on your left shows (looks like an upward graph) your points\/percentage\u00a0only if you have finished 100% of the chapter questions<\/u>.\u00a0 (You may need to log out and then log back in to update the results page.) You can find out how far you are in any non-completed (\u201cin progress\u201d) Smart Book homework assignments by looking at the progress bar.\u00a0 Once you have completed a chapter you will have a\u00a0 \u201csee report\u201d icon that shows your grade.<\/p>\n

      Where do I find my grade in the class so far?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>On the left side of Connect, there is an icon that looks like an upward-trending graph called \u201cResults.\u201d\u00a0 There, you can add up your total points earned and divide it by the total points possible.\u00a0 You will only have scores after the due date has passed.\u00a0 Know that your teacher\u2019s end only shows BEST scores on work (such as the virtual labs) that has multiple attempts.<\/p>\n

      Can I still practice on the homework questions even if I have already completed that chapter?<\/strong>\u00a0Yes!\u00a0 Just click on \u201crecharge\u201d as from the SB arrow.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This won\u2019t affect the fact that you already have 100% completion.<\/p>\n

      I have completed all chapter questions and now it says recharge. \u00a0Do I have to do that?\u00a0<\/strong>No. \u00a0Periodically, the computer system will have you repeat some of the questions as a refresher. \u00a0This is optional.<\/p>\n

      How do I exit the Questions or E Book?\u00a0<\/strong>Just click on the Exit Assignment whenever you are done reading or answering questions and then you can sign out.<\/p>\n

      How do I continue working on the Smart Book chapter questions even though the computer thinks I should take a break?<\/strong>\u00a0You can re-enter the questions at any time from the course assignments homepage.<\/p>\n

      These modules are taking SO LONG to complete, how can I speed them up?<\/strong>Read your BOOK!!\u00a0 The Smart Book homework system remediates you based on the type and number of questions you miss.\u00a0 The more you get correct, the quicker you will be done.\u00a0 So, obviously looking at the corresponding chapter on the eBook or your textbook BEFORE you start the questions will increase your success in the questions and get you out of the quicker.\u00a0 If you are fed up with any certain chapter questions, you may go on and accept the grade you get once the due date has passed, but incomplete modules will not receive a 100%.<\/p>\n

      The textbook covers so much information. \u00a0How do I know what material is most important to study for the exams?\u00a0<\/strong>My Lecture Objectives help you to prioritize the most important material.\u00a0http:\/\/sites.msudenver.edu\/haysc\/biology-courses\/human-anatomy-physiology-homepage-bio-2310\/<\/a>. \u00a0Note there is a link to the Answers to the objectives at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

      How do I navigate the SmartBook? \u00a0<\/strong>From the Assignments homepage, click on the e-book.\u00a0 The menu bar is at the top next to the page changing arrows.<\/p>\n

      How do I get technical help\u00a0 from McGraw Hill?<\/strong>\u00a0http:\/\/mpss.mhhe.com\/contact.php<\/a>; or contact Support \u2013 800-331-5094<\/p>\n
