9 Grading Policy

10 Lecture Exams (201 class) Lecture Exams There are 4 lecture exams, 100 questions, one point each, all multiple choice or fill in the blank. Each lecture exam contains some questions from the previous lecture units. It is essential that you be present for scheduled exams. Makeup exams will be administered for severe and compelling reasons only, and only when notice is given directly to the Instructor well in advance of the exam or when accompanied by a physician’s note.

11 Lecture Exams (202 class) Lecture Exams There are 4 lecture exams, 100 questions, one point each, all multiple choice or fill in, except the 2 nd lecture exam is 50 questions, one point each. The 3 rd lecture exam contains approximately 15 questions from unit 2, and the 4 th lecture exam contains approximately 15 questions from units 2 and 3. It is essential that you be present for scheduled exams. Makeup exams will be administered for severe and compelling reasons only, and only when notice is given directly to the Instructor well in advance of the exam or when accompanied by a physician’s note.

12 Lecture Quizzes Lecture Quizzes: There is a quiz every day, covering the previous day’s lecture material. There are a total of 8 lecture quizzes (201) and 11 lecture quizzes (202) during the semester. All quizzes are 10 questions, one point each, all multiple choice. You do not need a scantron for them.

13 Research Report Each student must complete a 3-5 page, double- spaced research report on a subject related to the topics we cover in this class. This report must be typed or word-processed and must have standard 1- inch margins. Students must use a minimum of five separate sources for their research, including scientific journals, books, magazines, and newspapers. THREE of your references must be published journal articles. Use the format style in my guidelines for the report document posted on my website

14 Research Report Turn the paper in by email three times: 1) Turn in the title, subheadings, and two formatted references; one must be a journal article and one must be a website. Submit by email. 2) Turn in the final, polished report (50 points)  Submit this by handing in a paper copy. Due dates are listed on the schedule Details about format, plus A SAMPLE REPORT WITH FORMATTED BIBLIOGRAPHY (including book, journal article, webpage references) IS POSTED ON MY WEBSITE. There is another document there that shows where errors are in previous student papers.

15 Discussion Forum Each student will choose a topic in the news that relates to anatomy or physiology. Present your topic to the class in 10 minutes, and be prepared to answer questions from the class. Prepare this on a PPT and bring it on a flash drive. We will have a sign up sheet for the order in which students will be ready to present. The first three people on this list should be ready by the next class period. Whenever we have time at the end of lecture, we will use it for these Discussion Forums.

16 Attendance Attendance is mandatory. Attendance will be taken each class period and turned in to the school each day. An absence is assessed each time a student is not in attendance during a regularly scheduled class period, whether or not it is an excused absence. An instructor may withdraw a student from class prior to the seventh session in undergraduate courses if there are more than two unexcused absences. Students who have more than three absences, excused or unexcused, receive an F in the course (school rules).

17 TECHNOLOGY Students are expected to be competent in using current technology appropriate for this discipline. Such technology may include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software. Use of the internet and e-mail is also be required. You might want to bring your laptop to class. There are many electrical outlets in lab but few in lecture but you can bring a long extension cord and a multi-plug outlet if needed.

18 Cell Phones Please turn your cell phone to vibrate during class time. Please turn your cell phone OFF during exams. You are NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER A CELL PHONE DURING AN EXAM OR QUIZ. Please arrange in advance for another person to be an emergency contact for your children during your exam times. You also must have all cell phones put away (out of your sight and out of reach) during all quizzes and exams.

19 Disabilities If you have specific disabilities and require accommodations, please let me know in the first week of the semester so that your learning needs may be appropriately met.

20 Dropping the class You only have 9 days to drop the class. If you need to drop, make sure you officially withdraw through Admissions and Records, or you will get an “F” on your permanent record. If a student gets a D or F in a class, you can retake the class, but the bad grade will always remain on your transcript along with the new grade will also appear. Getting a W is also not viewed favorably by nursing schools, so make sure you have enough time to study for this class (plan on 20 hours per week of study time).

21 Dropping the class If you get a B or C in a class, you cannot take it again at the same school DISTRICT. You can take it again elsewhere, but both of your grades will be seen by the nursing school if you submit both transcripts. The nursing schools look at a C the first time you take a class and an A the second time you take a class, and they will give you credit for your average of both grades, so they will assign you a B for the overall grade in that class. If you drop the class, you cannot continue to attend lecture or lab.

22 Getting a W or an F? If a student gets a D or F in a class, you can retake the class, but the bad grade will always remain on your transcript along with and “R”, indicating you re- took the class, and the new grade will also appear. Only the new grade is used for your GPA (but you have to fill out a form at Admissions and Records, it is not automatic). However, since the bad grade also appears on your record, you may want to consider dropping the class instead of getting the bad grade that nursing schools can still see.

23 Getting a W or an F? Getting a W is also not viewed favorably by nursing schools. The last day to drop a class without a W is right after the first lecture quiz.

24 How do nursing schools feel about W’s and F’s? Cypress –One W in the prerequisites is OK. Cerritos –Only allows 1 W, D, or F for prerequisites. Can repeat 1 prerequisite to improve the grade. Golden West –They have a formula for the number of W, D, or Fs on the transcripts. Long Beach City –Only allows 1 W, D, or F for prerequisites. Can repeat 1 prerequisite to improve the grade. Santa Ana – Student can petition to have the W, D, or F removed. GPA will calculate both grades until substandard grade removed. The number of W, D, or Fs does not affect entry. The first passing grade is the grade used to calculate points for entry into the program.

25 Make sure you write your answers on the correct line of your Scranton…the right answer on the wrong line is still wrong! That’s like writing the morning dose of a patient’s medicine on the line for the evening dose!

26 Miscellaneous Information and Tips Please do not bring guests or children to class. We must ask this for college liability reasons. You are welcome to use a tape recorder in class and you may use a digital camera for studying lab work. When you e-mail me, identify yourself in the e-mail and the subject line should identify the class. Remember, you will be asking me for a letter of recommendation someday wherein I have to judge your written communication skills. Formaldehyde is used in lab; if you are pregnant, consult your doctor. Required lab dress code: No tank tops, shorts above the knees, or open toed shoes. Come and go to the bathroom as you want. If you have a fever, please do not come to class until the fever has been gone for 24 hours. You are encouraged to form study groups outside of class. It is common to see a remarkable improvement in students’ performance when they review and study as a group. Before you leave today make 3 friends in class/ or study groups you can contact for information due to missed class time or studying times. Get their email addresses and cell phone numbers if possible.

27 Grades Posted by Random ID Number It is against campus policy to post grades by student names or ID number. Therefore, you will be assigned a random number to use this semester so you can see your grades each month.

28 Lab Safety Do not eat, drink, smoke or store food in the laboratory. Avoid all finger to mouth contact. No tank tops, shorts above the knee, or open shoes. Report ALL accidents immediately! Know the locations of fire extinguishers, the fire blanket, the eyewash apparatus, and the first aid kit. Know emergency procedures, phone numbers and evacuation routes (see information on the bulletin board in the front of the classroom.) Use caution when handling sharp instruments. Wear gloves in the lab during dissection days. Under no circumstances are visitors or children allowed in the lab. If you drop the class, you cannot continue to attend lecture or lab.

29 Sickness Safety If you have a fever, please do not come to class until the fever has been gone for 24 hours.

31 Grades

32 A little about myself…. Microbiology major, CSULB Graduated from Samuel Merritt College of Medicine, 1986. Spent my 4 th year at USC Medical Center Surgical Residency in several OC Hospitals Private practice in Orange County as physician and surgeon for 20 years. Came down with leukemia, had to close my doors. Recovered, decided to go into teaching.

33 A little about myself…. Updated my microbiology classes at CSULB. Earned a Community College Teaching Certificate at CSUDH, completed my internship in Anatomy at Fullerton College. I then graduated from Loma Linda University with a PhD in Biology. I have mainly been teaching Anatomy, Microbiology, and Physiology for the past 10 years at 12 schools in all nearby Counties.

34 A little about myself…. I did two research projects at LLU: 1. Algal control by phosphate restriction in freshwater lakes. Involves using a modified Koi pond sand bed filtration system to filter lakes, with the use of ferric chloride to bind up the phosphate in the water. Without the phosphate, the algae cannot grow. 2. The prevalence of blue-green algae toxins that cause liver cancer. What coastal lagoons are harboring the algae that produce these toxins? Why are some lagoons affected and others are not? Which lagoons are harbors for endangered species?

35 Try not to misspell words so badly that if you spelled that word on a patient’s chart that goes to court for a lawsuit, you would lose because doubt is shed about your competency!

36 Letters of Recommendation Look ahead at the letters of recommendation you will be needing! They ask me about how prompt you are, your written communication skills, and some ask for your class rank.
