Tentative Course Outline / Calendar (M,W,F)
Fall 2007
401 Quizzes:
During the semester , weekly quizzes will be given. The quizzes will be worth 10 points each for
a total of 140 points. (provided we take all 14 quizzes)
401 Laboratory Exams:
During the semester 5 long practical exams will be given. You will identify tagged structures on
the cadavers, individual bones, the articulated skeletons, x-rays and /or figures taken from relevant
texts. There may be one or two written question per exam. The class will be divided in half so that
each group has approximately 1 hour in which to take the exam. These are timed exams.
During the semester, a short practical may be given. This practical will be timed so that the entire
lab time is not used. Special instructions will be given at test time.
401 Grading Policies:
There are three factors which will contribute to your final lab grade:
1. 5 long practicals during the semester
2. Quizzes
3. A subjective grade
401 Subjective Grade:
This grade will be determined by the instructor and the TA. The following criteria will be used:
1. attendance- excessive absences or repeated tardiness will mean deductions.
2. adherence to the rules and procedures of the laboratory.
3. knowledge of the daily assignment, i.e. come to lab knowing what you should
dissect.
4. good work habits and cooperation with your partners.
5. dissection competence, i.e. how well your cadaver is dissected prior to the practical.
Make-Up Exams:
Only students with documented medical or university excuses will be given consideration for
make-up quizzes.
Grading Scale:
100-90%..............................A
89-80%..............................B
79-70%..............................C
69-60%..............................D
59-50%..............................F
401A Laboratory Exams:
*There will be four (5) laboratory exams of equal weight given during the semester.
*There will be no comprehensive final laboratory exam. All laboratory exams will be given
during your scheduled lab time.
*All laboratory exams will consist of 25 questions, worth four points each. Each question will
have 2 parts.
