Welcome to Anatomy & Physiology

Thank you so much for taking an active interest in your child’s learning. I apologize for missing the opportunity to meet with you, however, I teach an evening class at the local community college on Tuesday and Thursday. Murphy’s Law made it a given that open house and class would conflict this year. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for a conference should you feel the need to meet in person.

Grading Grades are calculated on a point system: Daily work worth = 10 – 30 pts. Minor lab work worth = 25 – 75 pts. Exams and projects worth = 100 pts.

Grading… At the end of the six weeks all points earned are totaled and divided by totaled possible points. Major grades count 60% of the average, minor grades count 40%. Ex: Major: 875 Earned Points 1000 Possible Points = 87.5 x 60% = 52.5 Minor: 250 Earned Points 300 Possible Points = 83.3 x 40% =

Grade Improvement Opportunities Minor work and 6 weeks projects – All daily work not turned in on the due date will receive a 50% deduction if turned in one day late.
