GRADING CRITERIA
Grading Method: Grading Scale:
Grades will be calculated using a weighted 90 – 100% = A
average with the breakdown as follows: 80 – 89% = B
Quizzes 20% 70 – 79% = C
Exams 35% 60 – 69% = D
Lab Practicals 35% 0 – 59% = F
Lab Review Sheets/Activities 10%
Total 100%
3. INSTITUTION POLICIES AND INSTRUCTOR PROCEDURES
Quizzes :
Weekly quizzes are given to inspire you to keep on top of studying and act as a gauge for how well you’re doing
in the class. They will cover the material from the previous week’s lectures as listed in the course outline. If you
are not doing well on the quizzes and find them difficult, then that is a sign that you need to change your
approach to studying for Anatomy and Physiology. I will drop your two lowest quiz scores. No make‐up quizzes
will be given.
Written Exams:
Anatomy and Physiology is mostly a factual subject with objective exams used as the main evaluation tool. Each
exam will be based on lecture material and associated chapters from the text. The exams are NOT cumulative
and only test on the material from the most recent section of the course. No make‐up exams will be given.
Lab Practicals:
Your understanding in lab is evaluated using lab practical exams. Lab practical exams will be the same week as
the lecture exams and cover just the lab material from that section of the course. As the first lab practical nears,
I will provide some sample questions and discuss strategies to do well on these exams. It is important is to come
to class each week prepared, focus during lab, and review what you’ve learned every week. No make‐up lab
practicals will be given
Laboratory Review Sheets:
Laboratory review sheets will need to be completed and turned in periodically throughout the semester for
evaluation. To be considered for evaluation, each set of review sheets must be stapled, and, your name and the
date of each lab must be present on the first page of each set
Late Work:
If I receive your work after the scheduled due date, points are deducted at 10% per day the assignment is late. If
unknown circumstances occur that will prevent you from submitting your work by the due date, call or email me
immediately. Work will NOT be accepted if it is more than 1 week late.
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings and laboratories. A student who expects to
be absent due to another school‐sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must make prior
arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be made up as directed by the instructor. A student
who does not adhere to instructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped from the course as
defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog.
Cell Phone and Pager Policy:
Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learning environment. All cell phones and pagers must be
placed in a non‐audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the learning center, and testing
areas. Cell phones and pagers must be used outside these facilities. Any student found using a cell phone in
any manner during an exam, lab practical or quiz will receive an automatic zero on that exam, lab practical or
quiz.
Course Withdrawal:
To officially withdraw from a course, the student must do so online through the YC Portal. Withdrawing from a
course after the published deadline for withdrawal requires instructor approval and signature. A withdrawal
“W” will no longer be assigned when a student does not complete a class. If you decide to withdraw from the
class it is your responsibility to do so. Instructors will assign only letter grades for students who remain enrolled.
If a student does not follow official procedures for withdrawing from a course, failing grades may be posted on
the student’s permanent record.
4. Academic Integrity:
Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learning environment. The presentation of another
individual’s work as one’s own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating, plagiarism or
other dishonest means are violations of the College’s “Student Code of Conduct.” Definitions of plagiarism,
cheating, and violation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the Yavapai College General
Catalog.
Student Code of Conduct:
Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are fundamental expectations for every
student. The “Student Code of Conduct” outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process for
responding to allegations of student misconduct.
Disability Resources:
Yavapai College is committed to providing educational support services to students with documented
disabilities. Accommodations for a student must be arranged by the student through the Disability Resources
Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928.776.2079 or Verde Valley Campus: 928.634.6563).
STUDENT RESOURCES (AS APPLICABLE)
Library services:
Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the Verde Valley Campus libraries. Both libraries are
members of a countywide library network, which provides access to a wide‐range of information and resources
at libraries throughout Yavapai County. Possession of a College library card entitles students to access materials
housed at member libraries. Instructors may place required course materials on reserve in the library or make
assignments that require the use of library resources.
Learning Centers:
Learning Centers are available on the Prescott and Verde Valley Campuses. These centers provide a variety of
learning support for students including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for students with
disabilities, and a networked general computer lab.
Tutoring:
