Anatomy and Physiology CP

Course Overview

Anatomy and Physiology CP is designed to provide students with a detailed study of the human body. We will start with the basic unit, the cell and progress through the different types of tissues and continue in depth into the body systems.  We will cover parts, functions and relationships to other systems, so that we can see how the body functions as a complete unit.

 

 

Classroom Expectations and Information

 

1.         Be Prompt. Bluebook rules will be followed on the tardy policy.  Please, do not linger at the door during class changes.  It causes congestion.

2.         Go to the bathroom and/or get water between classes to avoid missing class time. Frequent visits/abuse of the restroom policy can result in a limited number of allowable visits.

3.         Bell work (BSAP objective) may be on the overhead each day at the beginning of class.  Please work through the problem.

4.         Notebooks are important. You need to keep track of all of your lecture notes, returned labs, homework, etc.

5.         Please keep all book bags under the tables and not in the aisles.  This prevents accidents.

6.         YOU are responsible for all make up work, including notes, labs, quizzes and tests.

7.         Homework is due on the DUE date. It will not be accepted late, as we go over homework in class most of the time. The assignment board is complete every Monday with the homework, etc. for the week.  YOU are responsible for getting your assignment off of the board daily!

8.         Come to class prepared DAILY! (pens, paper, etc.)

9.         If you need assistance outside of class, I will happily assist you.  Please give me advance notice.

10.     Be respectful of my things, the other student’s things and the classroom materials and I will respect your things as well.  My desk is off-limits.

11.     No CD players, radios, headphones, etc. allowed.

12.     Please, raise your hand to speak. This keeps the class more tolerable for everyone.

13.     The grading policy is posted. Keep up with your grades, as I only do averages at grading periods.

14.     Consequences for problems: warning, parent contact and/or office referral.

15.     No canned drinks allowed.  Bottles with caps can be kept in your book bags.  Food is messy and attracts bugs, so please dispose of all foods, wrappers, etc. upon entering the room.

16.     Work hard and you’ll earn the grade you deserve.  I do not pass or fail anyone.  Each individual determines their own grade by their effort and performance.
