Required Textbook and Lab Manual

Required Text:

Human Anatomy, Martini/Timmons/Tallitsch, 5th Ed., Prentice Hall, 2006.

Required Laboratory Manual:

Human Anatomy Lab Study Guide, Rosalee Carter, 5th Ed., Pearson Custom Publishing.

You can purchase the textbook and laboratory manual through the Hornet Bookstore.

You will also need to bring a Scantron Form 882 for all lecture exams.

Technology

All students enrolled in BIO 22 must get a SacLink account by the end of the first week of classes. Students should be comfortable using a computer and willing to browse the Internet. RealOne Player software is required to view video streamed materials. The software can be downloaded free from the Internet. Materials will download faster if you use a high-speed (broadband) computer connection to the Internet (campus network or a DSL/cable modem). Students can access the Internet from one of the campus student labs if a personal high-speed connection is not available.

Check out Computer Hardware Recommendations for Sacramento State Students for more information about equipment.

Class Attendance, Exams and Grading Policies

Attendance is required for all lectures and laboratories.

There are no make-up lecture or laboratory examinations or quizzes. Failure to take any exam or quiz results in a grade of 0 for the exam or quiz.

There will be a total of 1150 points in the course. There are many opportunities for you to earn points toward your final grade in the course. There are four midterm lecture written exams and one final comprehensive lecture written exam. There are also four midterm lab practical exams and one final comprehensive lab practical exam. In addition, there is one introductory quiz, ten WebCT quizzes and twelve to fifteen laboratory quizzes. The format for examinations will be different depending on the information covered on the exam. Examples of types of questions which may occur on the examinations include multiple-choice, matching, short answer, discussion, morphology identification and identification of structures on models and charts in the laboratory.

The point totals for the exams and quizzes are listed below:

Introductory Quiz in Lab 50 pts
4 Midterm Lecture Written Exams (100 pts each) 400 pts
4 Midterm Lab Practical Exams (50 pts each) 200 pts
10 Lab Quizzes (10 pts each for 10 highest scores) 100 pts
10 WebCT Quizzes (10 pts each) 100 pts
Final Comprehensive Lecture Written Exam 200 pts
Final Comprehensive Lab Practical Exam 100 pts
  1150 total pts

Final Grades are determined using the following criteria:

A

Outstanding achievement

90% of total possible points

B

Excellent performance; clearly exceeds course requirements

80-89%

C

70-79%

D

Add/Drop Policies

The add/drop policies for all on-campus and off-campus students in BIO 22 are the same as the Sacramento State add/drop policies. Students should refer to the Sacramento State Academic Calendar on the Web site (http://www.csus.edu/) for the appropriate add/drop dates.
