Supplemental Materials: Outlines, activity sheets and/or learning objectives will be distributed to specify
important information for each topic. PowerPoint handouts are available online for each lecture topic.
ACADEMIC HONESTY AND INTEGRITY:
All students are expected to be honest in their academic work and to display integrity in the demonstration of
their achieved competencies. Cheating or other willful decision on the part of the student to be dishonest in the
representation of the work of others as his/her own, is unacceptable behavior. If you are unsure of what
constitutes plagiarism, see page the policy on cheating in the HASS handbook.
Any student found guilty of giving or receiving help in an examination or found guilty of deliberate plagiarism in
the submission of a project will receive a grade of zero for the incident. Further penalties may be imposed as
directed by the circumstances.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course introduces the student to the structure and function of the human body. This is a year-long
introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology and lab application; therefore prepares the student for Human
Anatomy and Physiology in post-secondary institutions. This is a college bound course therefore is rigous and
challenging. In lab students will experience and apply the material learned in lecture through experimentation
and application of the scientific method to the topic areas described later in the syllabus.
GRADING SYSTEM:
Your grade can be calculated by dividing the sum of all your scores by the total number of possible points. A
record of all your scores will be kept in the grade book on infinite campus so that you have a constant
assessment of your level of performance. Cheating, plagiarism, and misconduct will be treated severely.
Copying another individual’s work or allowing someone to copy your work is regarded as cheating.

The following criteria will be used to determine final grades:
 Tests/Lab Practicums/Formal Evaluation/Research Projects & Presentations
50%
 Lab Exercises/Lab Activities
 Class Assignments/Class Activities/Homework
15%

I will assume that every parent has signed up for the Parent Portal to be able to view his or her
child’s grade online. Students need to be proactive in looking at the Student Portal to keep up on their
grades and missing assignments. I will use the email address given above to contact you regarding
your child’s behavior and academic performance. If Internet access is difficult, or for any reason does
not work, please let me know the best way to contact you about your child. Once an assignment has
been collected please allow a few days for grading, and to input the results into the grading program.
A blank in I.C. does not mean it is missing, it means it is not graded yet. A ‘0’ in IC means the date to
turn it in has passed and your student did not turn it in. A ‘M’ in IC means that the assignment is
missing and can still be turned in. You may email me with any questions you may have about your
student’s progress.

* The following is a tentative schedule for the term. Your instructor may deviate from the schedule as
deemed necessary. Advance notice will be provided by your instructor if changes are made to this schedule.
However, every effort will be made for all sections to adhere to the expected learning outcomes, course
objectives, and evaluation methods as outlined above to insure consistency throughout the department.
Endocrine will be integrated into each lab. The instructor reserves the right to add to, delete from, or alter the
above stated policies if in so doing will maintain the proper environment for teaching and learning. All such
policy changes will be announced in advance.
A Final Note:
CB Biology II Course Syllabi
Striving to meet the above objectives will aid in the cognitive development of each student and increase
his/her awareness of the effects of interactions of body organs and systems. The written and oral
communication skills of each student will be fostered. Students shall work together to further the education of
all individuals involved in the course in a constructive manner and in doing so, skills useful in everyday life and
the workplace will be developed.
