Program Student Learning Outcomes

Textbooks

Textbook Purchasing Statement: A student attending Lamar State College Port Arthur is not under any obligation to purchase a textbook from the college-affiliated bookstore. The same textbook may also be available from an independent retailer, including an online retailer.

The REQUIRED workbook for the Bio 2101 lab (A&P1) is �Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy & Physiology� by Greene, Robinson, and Strong. 1st ed. Pearson Publishing, ISBN:978-01-354-79-391
You will also need the Modified Mastering A&P Access code that goes with the lecture textbook by Amerman and a copy of the lecture textbook. Please note that the same MAP access code will be used for both the lecture and lab courses.
The lecture textbook is "Human Anatomy & Physiology", 2nd ed by Erin Amerman. The ISBN number for the lecture textbook only is 978-0134-754-239.
The ISBN number for the Modified Mastering A&P access code is 978-0-134-78807-4.
A 14-day free trial Access Code for the Mastering A&P site is available.

The MAP access code can be purchased directly from Pearson on the Mastering A&P site which is the cheapest place to get it. If purchased online, there will be 2 main options (approximate prices) a $70 version and a $120 version. The ONLY difference between these is the $120 version includes access to an electronic textbook (etext) while the $70 version does not. This MAP access code is ABSOLUTELY required. This MAP access code is used for lectures and labs in both A&P1 and A&P2 (4 courses).

Please note that while many of the course materials can be accessed using a cell phone and/or tablet device, there are many questions on the homework assignments that can only be accessed on a computer (desktop or laptop). In addition; EXAMS CAN ONLY BE TAKEN ON A LAPTOP OR DESKTOP COMPUTER. If your computer breaks for any reason during the semester, IT DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM THE REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINES OF THE COURSE. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure all assignments and exams are completed by their due date. Any assignments and/or exams not completed by the end of the availability date will receive a grade of "0" zero.

Final Exam Date

Grading Scale

90 - 100=A 80 - 89=B 70 - 79=C 60 - 69=D Below 59 = F

Determination of
Final Grade

Each lab exam will count 20% toward your final lab average. There will be 4 lab exams which will represent 80% of your grade.
The average of all of the online pre-lab assignments and projects will count for 20% of your final lab average.

No grades are dropped when calculating averages.
No makeup exams are given, and there are NO re-takes on any exam.
All lab exams must be taken as scheduled during your lab period.
.
Lecture and Lab grades are NOT combined. Each course will be graded independently. Exams that are not taken as scheduled will receive a grade of zero.

Course Policies

Instructor Policies

It is imperative that you check your email 2-3 times per week. This is an online class and email is the only way I have to contact you.
You MUST use the "Send Email" link from within the course when emailing me.

If you wish to email me about a grade, you must email me from the "send email" link within the course website.

Attendance Policy

This is an online lab and it is the responsibility of each student to have a RELIABLE computer AND Internet access for the duration of the course. Computer labs at LSCPA are available for use. Please note that some course material may not be accessible using a cell phone and/or tablet device.
In this online class there are no scheduled class "meeting times" and it is your responsibility to manage your schedule to include completion of course requirements as scheduled. Handouts for all labs are posted on the course website. These contain information about the lab topic, indicate the sections of the lab workbook assigned for that lab, references to images posted on the course website, as well as questions over lab content. These lab handouts are designed to provide you guidance on what to study. They are not submitted for grading.

You will be able to take an exam after the scheduled availability period, but there will be a time penalty imposed (10% time reduction for each day that student is late taking the exam).

If you miss an exam because of an excused absence, your lowest lecture exam score will be used as the score for the exam that you missed. Excused absences include medical and family emergencies and are determined at the instructor's discretion. You can only miss one exam with an excused absence (excluding the final), and you must take the final exam. Poor preparation or conflict with other scheduled exams is not a valid excuse for missing an exam.

Academic Honesty

Academic honesty is expected from all students, and dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Please consult the LSC-PA policies (Section IX, subsection A, in the Faculty Handbook) for consequences of academic dishonesty.

Facility Policies

No food or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom.
Only students enrolled in the course are allowed in the classroom, except by special instructor permission.
Use of electronic devices is prohibited.
