Assessment of learning

Learning
objectives will be assessed by hourly examination (3), a comprehensive final
examination, and laboratory practical (2).
Additionally, students are graded based on their performances on weekly
quiz and a community-engagement project.

Teaching philosophy and
Instructor’s Responsibilities:

My teaching philosophy is to challenge students to learn
beyond their expectations and help them develop problem-solving skills through
independent learning and thinking.
My goal is to do the best possible job of teaching this course. The
laboratory sessions have been designed to provide as much hands-on experience
as possible. I expect to come to each class well prepared and to clearly
communicate information that is relevant to this course. I strongly encourage and
welcome classroom discussion about the topics being presented. I am also eager
to answer any questions you may have during the lecture or laboratory sessions.

Student’s
Responsibilities:

I expect you to come to each lecture and laboratory
session with a desire to learn. You are also expected to complete the reading
assignments, study the material thoroughly outside of class, and come to class
prepared to ask questions about subjects that are unclear to you. Remember,
learning is an active process and requires a significant amount of time and
effort!

Exams

There
will be three hourly examinations plus one final examination.  Dates of the exams will be announced at
least one week before the anticipated exam date.  Each exam consists of multiple
choice-type questions and written questions.  Questions on the exam are designed not
only to evaluate your ability to acquire and recite information presented in
the lectures but also to think critically and solve problems.  At least 50 % of questions on any given
exam will be application questions that require you to use information
presented in the lectures to answer them.
Final exam is another hourly test and worth 100 points.  The University of Mississippi Medical
College policy will be applied on the day of the exam.  You are allowed to take only writing
utensils and a scientific calculator to your chair.  Your books, notes, cell phones, and
other electronic devises, as well as backpack and purses must be placed on the
tables located in front of the room as you enter the room during the
examination.  .

Quizzes:

There
will be a weekly quiz (10 pts per quiz).
The questions on the quizzes will come from the review material from
previous courses including BIO 100, current lecture material, and selective
questions on the Medical Collage Admission Test (MCAT) and Nursing program
entrance examination.  There will
not be a quiz on the week of examination.

Lab Practical:

There
will be three laboratory practicals during the
semester.  Each lab practical is
worth 100 pts.

Community Engagement Project

There
will be a community engagement project that is worth 200 points.  The
objective of this project is to determine how healthy our students who live in
both on-campus housing facilities at Delta
State University
and those who commute are by assessing their eating habits.  Moreover, we would like to assess
whether choice of food being available on-campus provide enough alternatives
for students to maintain healthy lifestyle.  Data collected in this study will be
analyzed to determine whether students at Delta State
University are aware of
their eating habits and their effects on their health.  The final report is due Tuesday,
November 17th @ 6:00 PM. You must turn your assignment in ON TIME in order to
receive full credit.  Twenty five
percent of the credit will be automatically deducted if the report is 24 hours
past due.  If the report is 48 hours
past due, 50 % of the credit will be deducted.  You will receive zero (0) thereafter.

Grading

Based upon hourly examinations (3), a comprehensive final, laboratory
practical (2 per semester), a community engagement project, and weekly quizzes.

Hourly
exams: 300 pts (100 pts per exam)

Final:
100 pts

Laboratory
Practical: 200 pts (100 pts per, 2 per semester)

Community
Engagement Project: 200 pts

Quizzes:
100 pts

Grading Scale: >90 % = A, 80-89 % = B,
70-79 % = C, 60-69 % = D, <60 % = F

Class
attendance will be used as the X-factor on your final grade as follow:

1)      Greater than 95 % = Maximum
3 % added. Most likely one letter grade if on the border line (87 %, 77 %, 67
%, etc)

2)      90-94 % = Maximum 1.5 % added

3)      Below 90 % = 0 % added

Make-up exams and quizzes:

There
will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS, PRACTICALS, OR
QUIZZES.  If you know that you
are going to miss the exam due to university-sanctioned events, you must do the
following:

1)
Complete request
for changing examination date form (available in Walters 150)

2)
Have the form
signed by Dean
of College of Arts and Sciences (Mr. Collier Parker, Kethley 113) and Chairman of the Division of
Biological and Physical Sciences (Dr, Barry Campbell,
Walters 150)

3)      In addition, have the form signed by the
Chairperson of the respective department (Nursing: Dr. Carlson, Family and
Consumer Sciences: Dr. Jan Haynes, Athletic Training: Dr. Tim Colbert) if you are
not in the science program.

4)
Obtain the note from the coach,
band director, etc. if you are going to miss the exam due to the
University-sanctioned events.

You
must provide the instructor with completed request form and other additional
documents at least 5 (five) business days before the anticipated exam.  Only then, you may take the make-up
examination.  Other emergencies such
as illness, family emergency, and car problems must be substantiated by written
documents.  Otherwise, you will
receive ZERO on your missed exams.  REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION, YOU MUST
INFORM THE INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE GOING TO MISS EXAMS.  ANY TYPE OF EXCUSES,
LEGITIMATE OR NOT, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED 48 HOURS AFTER THE EXAM IS DISTRIBUTED.

Class Attendance and Tardiness

Students
are expected to follow all University Policies.  Class attendance will be taken at the
beginning of each class.  It is YOUR responsibility to attend all class
and laboratory meetings.  Although I
am not very strict on class attendance as many other instructors are, I WILL NOT TOLERATE TARDINESS!  YOU WILL BE MARKED AS LATE ONCE I close the door.   You will not be allowed to enter
the room if you are late, and you will receive zero (0) on the exam.  If you are going to miss class(es) or laboratory because of the University sanctioned
events, (Athletics, musical performances, etc), you MUST NOTIFY THE INTSRUCTOR AT LEAST ONE WEEK (5 WORKING DAYS) PRIOR TO THE
DAY OF EXAMINATION with written documentation
(notes from the coach, band director, etc).

Communication with the
instructor via e-mail

Official
electronic communications regarding this class or any other courses that are
offered at Delta State University
will be conducted through OKRA mail.
You MUST use OKRA mail when you need to contact me about this
class.  I will not read or respond
to your e-mail if it comes from the account other than OKRA mail.  You are also responsible for maintaining
your OKRA mail account for the official communication with Delta State
University
officials.  If you have questions
about using OKRA mail, please contact the Office of Institutional Technology
(OIT) in Bailey Hall.

Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devises

All
cell phones and other electronic devises such as i-pod
must be turned off and remain inactive during lecture
and laboratory.  Please turn them
off before entering the classroom or laboratory.  You will be asked to leave the room if
these devises become activated during lecture and laboratory. IF YOU LEAVE THE ROOM TO ANSWER YOUR CELL
PHONE, YOU WILL BE MARKED AS ABSENT AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RE-ENTER THE
LECTURE.  Activation of these devises, as well as departure from the room to
answer the phone, during examination will result in automatic “F”
on the exam.

Disability Services at Delta
State University

Americans
with Disability Act is designed to provide necessary accommodations to ensure
equal opportunity for learning and prevent discrimination of students with
disability.   If you need
accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the
building must be evacuated, please inform Disability Service (Dr. Richard
Houston, coordinator) at Reilly
Student Health
Center (846-4690, [email-masked]) immediately.
It is the campus office responsible for reviewing documentation provided by
students requesting academic accommodations, and for accommodations planning in
cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and consistent with course
requirements.

Academic Dishonesty:

As
a member of academic community, you are expected to complete your own work
honorably.  Any
effort to gain unfair advantages over others, whether it is successful or not,
is considered as academic dishonesty.  We regard academic dishonesty as an
extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation
to expulsion. Cheating on exams and copying other’s laboratory
assignments and homeworks will not be tolerated.  According to the divisional policy, students
who are caught cheating will face following consequences:

Receive a failing grade
(F) on the exam and assignment after the first offense.  Divisional chairman and College
Dean will be notified.

Receive a failing grade
for the class after the second offense.  Divisional chairman, College Dean,
and the Dean of Student Affair will be notified.

Dismissal from the program and the University
after the third offense.
