Methods of Evaluation

Lecture Exams (“pportunities”) You will take 3 Lecture Exams that will assess your understanding of concepts discussed during the lecture portion of the course. Lecture Exam dates are: 7/6, 7/22, and 8/12. The Exam format is multiple choice, with some matching, and several short answer bonus questions. The lowest of your

3

first two Lecture Exam grades will be dropped and will NOT count toward your overall course grade. Your third Lecture Exam is the non-cumulative Final Lecture Exam – this exam grade cannot be dropped. Your Lecture Exam grades count for 50% of your overall course grade.

You also have the option of preparing and using on each Lecture Exam one 4 x 6-inch index card that contains any information you feel would be helpful to you. You may use one or both sides of your card. Loose-leaf paper will not be accepted in place of an index card. All info must be hand-written or hand-drawn directly on your card, with nothing taped or stapled onto it. Computer-printed or typed info is NOT permitted. I will remove any card that violates these rules!

Lab Exams

Lab is an engaging, interactive, and collaborative hands-on learning experience designed with the different learning styles of my students in mind. Our labs involve direct study of anatomical structure and function through a variety of methods including microscope slides, 3-D models, active learning exercises, peer review, student-created study aids, online resources, charts, and diagrams. Missed labs cannot be made up. You are encouraged to use the Anatomy Study Room in the Learning Center for extra review of the lab materials.

You will take 3 Lab Exams that consist of timed 3-minute rotations through a series of stations featuring microscopes, models, and/or diagrams. Lab Exam dates are: 7/9, 7/28, and 8/13. The Lab Exams involve direct identification of anatomical structures and functions from diagrams, photos, and models, along with some multiple choice and/or short answer questions. You may also prepare and use on each Lab Exam one 4 x 6-inch index card, following the same rules as described above for the Lecture Exams. The lowest of your first two Lab Exam grades will be dropped and will NOT count toward your overall course grade. Your third Lab Exam is the non-cumulative Final Lab Exam – this exam grade cannot be dropped. Lab Exams cannot be made up. Your Lab Exam grades count for 35% of your overall course grade.

Vocabulary Quizzes You will take a Vocabulary Quiz at the beginning of most Monday and Wednesday lectures that features vocab words and definitions from the content of the previous lecture class. Quiz format is multiple choice and/or short answer, and each quiz is worth 10 points each. I encourage you to study vocab every day using the Quizlet flashcard reviews available on my website at http://robswatski.virb.com. Your lowest Vocab Quiz grade will be dropped and will NOT count toward your overall course grade. Vocab quizzes cannot be made up. Your Vocab Quiz grades count for 10% of your overall course grade.

VARK Learning Style Summary & Learning Assessment “VARK” is an acronym that stands for the four major types of learning styles: Visual, Aural, Reading-writing, & Kinesthetic. It’s important to have a basic understanding of how you learn early in the semester in order to plan a study strategy that is most effective for you. Visit the VARK website (http://www.vark-learn.com/english/index.asp) and take the Questionnaire (the link is located on the right-side of the page). Choose the answer which best explains your preference and check the box next to it. Please check more than one box if a single answer does not match your perception. Leave

4

blank any question that does not apply to you. Click OK to see your results. Your scores are broken down based upon the four learning styles, and your overall learning preference is indicated. Write a 1-2 page summary of your results, your thoughts about them, and how you plan to use this information to help guide your studies in lecture and lab this semester. Print your results page and include it with your summary. Your VARK Learning Style Summary is due by Monday, June 29.

Your Learning Assessment consists of a written reflective essay where you revisit your VARK learning style results from earlier in the semester and explain how you used this information during the semester. In your assessment, describe how you studied for each of your lecture and lab exams, noting how your study methods may have changed from exam to exam, and discuss your overall performance in the class. I will evaluate your assessment based upon your effort, completion, association with learning style and course progress, organization, and thoughtfulness. I recommend that you work on this assignment throughout the semester and encourage you to meet with me if you need any help planning your study strategy. Your Learning Assessment is due by Tuesday, August 11. Both writing assignments are to be typed using 12-pt font size, double-spaced, and must be written in your own words. Your VARK Learning Style Summary and Learning Assessment count for 5% of your overall course grade.

All assignments are due at the beginning of class on or before their respective due dates. Any assignment that is turned in after class on the due date will be considered 1 day late. Grades on late assignments will be reduced by 10% of their total possible point value if they are 1 day late and 20% if they are 2 days late. Late assignments will NOT be accepted after 5 days (see the Calendar for due dates).

Study Suggestions Attend all lectures and labs, and come prepared by reading ahead. Take notes and participate in classroom discussion. Review and outline your notes as soon as possible following the lecture. Read your textbook and other assigned materials. Take advantage of my online resources, such as Quizlets and my video podcasts on iTunes U. Study with fellow classmates. Start a small study group with several classmates (remember…

“see it, do it, TEACH IT” is an excellent way to learn). Stay organized. Use a 3-ring binder to organize your lecture and lab notes. Don’t get behind! Keep up with the work. Don’t wait until just before the exam to master all

the material! Take advantage of all learning opportunities. Know yourself and your best study conditions. Study when your brain is most awake and alert.

A little about myself: I graduated from Millersville University (B.S., Biology) and Florida Tech (M.S., Marine Biology), where I researched stingray reproduction and sea slug (yes, sea slug!) physiology & ecology in-between frequent scuba diving trips to the Florida Keys. I’ve been teaching a variety of Biology courses at the Lancaster & Lebanon Campuses of HACC since 1996, and at the York Campus full-time since Fall 2007. In my previous life I taught high school biology & environmental science (grades 9-12) for 9 years. I enjoy developing creative & engaging uses of technology in biology education (online tools, podcasting, digital photography, iPad, & video), and exploring the relationship between biology, learning, and the visual arts. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my fur children (Ian & Effie Sue), dog rescue & fostering with Paws n’ Time Canine Rescue, photography, running, drawing, music, film, and travel.

Academic Policies

Instructor’s Attendance Policy

There are several factors that may contribute to a student’s success in a course. One of the most important is attendance. Attendance is fundamental to understanding the material presented. Students are expected to attend all lecture and laboratory sessions. Laboratory sessions (including laboratory exams) cannot be made up. Any points which might have been received at these sessions will be lost. Therefore, attendance will be recorded during each class session. Arrive on time since late arrivals will be recorded as an unexcused absence for that class session. If you arrive late, please wait until the end of class to pick up any missed handouts. I will lower a student’s overall course grade by one letter grade if accumulated unexcused absences have totaled 10% of the total class hours (= 8 unexcused class hours in a 4-credit course). If a lecture or laboratory session is missed, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain any notes, handouts, assignments, etc. from the instructor or from a classmate.

8

There will be quizzes and assignments given during lecture and laboratory sessions that cannot be made up. If these are missed you will lose points which will impact your final grade. Therefore, you should plan on being present for all lecture and laboratory class times. If you arrive late for a quiz, you cannot make it up. The missed quiz will count as your lowest dropped quiz grade of “0”. No absences will be excused in these circumstances.

You are expected to stay for the entire scheduled class time… don’t worry, I’ll keep you busy. Students who leave lecture or lab early will be recorded as an unexcused absence for that day. Please do not get up and leave the room during class (unless, of course, there is an emergency). You will have sufficient break time during lab where you can visit the restroom, make a phone call, grab a snack, etc.

The college is required by law to make attendance reports to the relevant agencies of students who are funded by veteran’s benefits, social security programs, and various other state, federal, or private scholarship programs. Students in programs that are accredited or approved by external agencies must observe these special attendance policies delineated by the external agencies and contained in the printed course syllabus. Course attendance records will be made available to HACC Administration upon request.

Lecture Exam Make-Up Policy

The student must contact me within 24 hours of a missed exam (in-person, email, or phone). The absence must be Excused in order to be eligible for a make-up exam. In some

circumstances, I may require the student to provide documentation regarding the absence. If eligible, the student must schedule and complete their make-up exam within one week of

the missed exam date. Extensions will not be provided. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Testing Center (Leader 103) at 717-801-3214 to schedule their exam. Index cards cannot be used during a make-up exam.

A grade of “0” will be assigned for the missed exam if any of the above policies are violated. A student will not be allowed to make up more than 1 exam during the semester. The format and content of a make-up exam may differ from the regular exam. Remember, missed in-class quizzes and assignments cannot be made up.

Lab Exam Make-Up Policy Lab Exams involve significant instructor preparation and set-up time, and for this reason,

there will be no make-up lab exams. An absence on the day of a lab exam is considered Unexcused and will result in a grade of “0”

for the missed exam. Because of the timed nature of the lab exam, students who arrive late will NOT be permitted

to take the exam and will receive a grade of “0” for the missed exam.

Withdrawal A student may drop a course at any time during the regularly scheduled classes up to the school’s official last day to drop a class by completing a Drop/Add Withdrawal form. After the refund period ends, the instructor’s signature is required and the student may receive a W or F grade depending

9

upon the instructor’s assessment of the student’s performance. No credit is granted with a W grade. The last class date prior to exam week is the deadline for dropping a class.

In order to earn a W grade, the student must be regularly attending both lecture and lab, putting forth a genuine effort in class, regularly communicating with the instructor about their grade and/or situation, and has not missed any Exams. A student who has stopped attending class for a period of two weeks may be dropped by the instructor with a grade of F.

Instructor’s Academic Honesty Policy A. Cheating: giving or receiving answers on assigned material, using materials or aids forbidden by

the instructor, unauthorized possession of examination B. Plagiarism: offering someone else’s work, words, or ideas as one’s own or using material from

another source without acknowledgement C. Interference: interfering without permission with the work of another student either by obtaining,

changing, or destroying the work of another student D. Buying or selling of term papers, homework, examinations, laboratory assignments, computer

programs, etc. E. Falsifying of one’s own or another’s records F. Knowingly assisting someone who engages in A-E above

Academic integrity is expected of everyone. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Anyone found guilty of academic dishonesty will receive a zero for that grade and may receive a zero for the rest of the course. This student may also be asked to discontinue the course. Documentation of the incident will be forwarded to the Dean of Academic Affairs and will become a part of the student’s permanent record. Cheating is a serious offense and the consequences are severe. However, what is even more important is that by cheating, you sacrifice your own integrity and reputation. Please be proud of your own work and proud of yourself!

Incomplete Grade Policy A grade of Incomplete (“I”) may be assigned when a student is not able to complete the course requirements due to extenuating circumstances. The Incomplete grade will be assigned only after a conference with the instructor and after a serious need is determined. The “I” becomes an “F” if the work is not completed before 8 weeks into the following semester.

Classroom Etiquette

HACC prides itself in providing students with an academic education as well as preparing students to become professionals in their field of study as well as how they interact with their fellow colleagues and in their community. Therefore, you are expected to act professionally in your classes and as you interact with your fellow classmates and instructors. Some of these professional behaviors are listed below:

Be polite, respectful, and courteous. Arrive on time (or early) to class so you don’t interrupt the class with a late entrance. Be prepared for class by reading the textbook in advance of the lecture on the material.

10

Be attentive and participate in class activities and discussions; do not do work for other classes.

Limit social conversations to times just before and after class. Putting your head down on the desk to take a nap is generally considered unacceptable

behavior in the classroom. You may be dismissed from class if you cannot adhere to these behaviors.

Students In Need of Accommodations: Students with disabilities who are in need of accommodations should contact the campus disability coordinator listed below. Coordinators for each campus are listed here: http://www.hacc.edu/Students/DisabilityServices/Contact-Disability-Services.cfm

*Any student with a documented disability must speak with me privately after class or during office hours during the first week of the semester so that I can help you obtain any assistance you may need to successfully complete this course.
