CLASS SCHEDULE
Course Objectives:
a) To familiarize students with structure and function of the major systems of the human body
b) To explore the human body's interrelationship of health and disease
c) To introduce basic laboratory procedures which monitor physiological function

Class Expectations:

1. Regular attendance and participation in class discussions and activities is expected of all students.  If an absence occurs, it is the student's responsibility to get notes /  handouts from  the webpage or a classmate.  PLEASE - DO NOT ASK ME

2. Homework assignments- will be randomly assigned over the quarter. They will be announced in class, and posted on the web.  Due dates will be noted on the assignments and if you cannot attend the class when an assignment is due, you must email it to the instructor by midnight of that day.   If you do not submit/complete  2 assignments on time, you will lose 1 lecture credit, if you miss 3 or more, you will lose 2 lecture credits.

3. Lab Journals - Each student will keep a journal of laboratory work.  These journals will be due on March 11th.  Journals should include all lab results (what happened, what did you observe, any questions to answer, charts to fill in, graphs, etc. will go here) as well as what your conclusion of the lab’s purpose was.  What do your results mean?  What did you learn?  Lab reports should be typed, or at least neatly hand written.  If you do not attend class, it will be very difficult to maintain a complete lab journal, as lab activities will be interspersed throughout the curriculum. Lab Journals that are missing more than one lab will result in loss of credit.

4. Pharmaceutical Research Project  This project will culminate in a class presentation.

5. Self-evaluation & faculty evaluation is due on March 13th.

6. Evaluations are assessed on class progress: based on homework assignments, class (seminar) participation/attendance, research project & lab participation/journal.
