Requirements for
on-line course
To successfully master this course in the on-line format, you will need to have a multimedia capable computer  to run EAP CD-ROM which comes with your text and will be found in the back of your textbook.
Curriculum Statement: This course will prepare you for health related careers
Description This anatomy course will prepare the typical learner for the medical courses that will follow.  Rigorous in nature, this course will require a tremendous amount of memorization and comprehensive retention.  For the student on-line, the lab work is on the same schedule as the theory.  You MUST use the dissection guide to study and learn the structures from each unit's Course Objectives.  The models that appear in the dissection guide are similar to the ones the students in the F2F class will be using and ALL anatomy students will see and touch during the lab midterm and the lab final.
Objectives The Course Objectives provides the student with the opportunity to learn by name, structure and function the most critical areas of human anatomy for the health careers student.
GRADING Theory:  Students will be expected to identify via objective questions, the systems, structure, and functions of the human body.
Lab:  Students will be expected to recognize in diagrams, models, and descriptive narrative, structures and functions of the human body and write descriptions of the structure and functions.

Course Policies/Procedures 
Academic Policies:  Dropping: If you wish to drop this course you may do so before the course starts for a full refund.  If you drop the course before 1/10 of the course has been completed (between the first and second session), you may get a refund minus a $5 drop fee.  It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw before the deadline.   
"I" Grades:  Incomplete ("I") is only given for the most extenuating circumstances. All "I" grades should be completed within two weeks of the end of the term the course was taken. 
Attendance: 

Theory: The student is expected to attend all theory sessions and to take all theory exams and quizzes at the scheduled time and place.

Lab: The student is expected to attend all scheduled lab sessions listed on the lab schedule, complete the scheduled lab activities,  complete the lab quizzes, complete the midterm and final AT THE SCHEDULED TIME and PLACE.

Please note that "attendance" in an on-line course (other than the lab midsemester and final mentioned above) is measured by work submitted.  Students are expected to submit all assignments, including class participation, and take all quizzes according to the schedule submitted or make other arrangements in advance of the scheduled time. Failure to do so may result in academic penalty or withdrawal from the class. Missing a scheduled activity, for any reason, including illness or late registration, in no way relieves the student of the responsibility for completing all work for credit in the course to the satisfaction of the instructor according to the approved schedule. The student is responsible for taking tests at the approved time and place, and for submitting assignments on time.  Most students selecting this form of instruction have busy schedules with many unexpected interruptions. PLAN AHEAD. WORK AHEAD. Allow yourself time on your schedule for problems. YOU MAY submit activities BEFORE they are due. If you anticipate any potential problems, contact your instructor ASAP and discuss those concerns.
Cheating:  Cheating is NOT permitted. Any students caught cheating will receive NO points for the exam or quiz in which the cheating occurred, and/or will be subject to the disciplinary procedures of Kellogg Community College (at the discretion of the instructor).

Make-up
Policy
  1. Any scheduled theory exam that is missed must be taken the day the student returns to theory. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor the day the scheduled exam is taken to make arrangements to take the make-up exam. (Make-up exams will be essay exams.) Failure to do so may result in NO MAKE-UP.
  2. Any scheduled theory quiz that is missed may not be made up. During the course of the semester 5 unannounced bonus quizzes will be given.
  3.  Missed laboratory sessions must be completed within the week they are scheduled. Lack of Attendance to a lab session will result in a (0) for lab points that week.
  4. Lab mid-term and Final must be completed during the lab session in which the student is registered unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor.
Computer
Access at
KCC
It is assumed that students enrolled in this course have at their disposal appropriate equipment and software to complete the course work and communicate with other students.  If there are problems with your equipment and/or software, it is possible to come the KCC's Campus and use the open computer lab in the LRC.  See KCC's web site for campus maps and lab times. 
on-line
Interactive
media
The learning activities for the lab portion of this on-line course are accomplished by work with the lab manual and by interactive learning activities.  It is essential that you use the CD-ROM that is packaged with your text book AND that you have access to the EAP CD that is packaged with your text.  You will find valuable learning activities in the CD.
on-line
Submitting
materials:
Students will be expected to us e-mail attachments and the blackboard site for this class to submit materials. (Before you are registered for the course you may look at the class site using guest as the id and guest as the password.)
