Student Suppоrt & Belоnging Welcоme I аm glаd you аre here. This classroom is a place where every student is treated with dignity and respect, where questions are valued, and where we learn from one another. If there is anything I can do to help you learn more effectively, please let me know. How to Succeed in A&P II This course is not A&P I with different words. In A&P I much of the work was learning names: bones, muscles, origins and insertions. That kind of studying will not carry you through this semester. A&P II is about mechanism. Most exam questions ask you to explain why something happens or predict what happens next, not to label a diagram. Plan to change how you study, not just how much. • Expect 8 to 12 hours per week outside of class. That is real, and it is front-loaded. Students who struggle are usually the ones who studied lightly through the endocrine unit and then tried to catch up during cardiovascular. • Ask four questions about every structure we cover. What is it, what does it do, how is it regulated, and what happens when that regulation fails. If you can answer all four without notes, you know it. If you can only answer the first, you have memorized a label. • Draw it. Blank paper, no notes. The nephron, the cardiac conduction system, the path of blood through the heart, the pathway of a hormone from gland to target. If you cannot draw it from memory, you do not know it yet. • Lab is exam preparation, not a separate class. Lab material appears on the lecture exams. The ECG, spirometry, blood typing, and urinalysis sessions are where the clinical reasoning on those exams comes from. • Do Mastering as practice, not as a chore to clear. Working the problems a few days before the exam tells you what you do not know while there is still time to fix it. • Three units give people the most trouble. Renal physiology, blood pressure regulation, and fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. All three punish memorization and reward understanding the mechanism. Come see me early in those units rather than after the exam. • Explain it out loud to someone. A study partner, a roommate, an empty room. You will find the gaps in about thirty seconds. • Come to office hours before you are in trouble. I have eight hours a week and they are usually quiet. The conversation is much better in week 3 than in week 13. Basic Needs Any student who has difficulty affording food, who lacks a safe and stable place to live, or who is facing other hardships that affect their learning is urged to contact the Office of the Dean of Students, and to reach out to me if you are comfortable doing so. Belmont wants to support you. See the Bruin Guide for available resources. Mental Health & Wellbeing Your wellbeing matters to your success. If stress, anxiety, or other challenges are affecting your work or your life, help is available through Belmont’s counseling and wellbeing resources; see the Bruin Guide. Asking for support is a sign of strength, and I am glad to help you connect with the right resource.

Cоurse Exаminаtiоns All lecture exаms in this cоurse are administered in class through Canvas and proctored with Honorlock. Exam access, format, and expectations will be discussed during in-person meetings. Exam settings are consistent across all my courses and include: • Honorlock proctoring, which runs in Google Chrome. • A laptop with a working webcam and microphone, built in or USB. Tablets and phones will not run Honorlock. • The Honorlock Chrome extension, installed before exam day and not during class time. • Expect to be asked for a photo ID at the start of each exam, so bring your Bruin card. • Viewing one question at a time. • Forced submission at the end of the allotted time. • Cell phones are collected during exams. Examinations may assess material from lectures, laboratory activities, assigned readings, Mastering A&P assignments, and other course materials identified in Canvas. There is no separate laboratory practical in this course. Laboratory concepts and activities are assessed on the lecture examinations, so laboratory work should be treated as an important part of exam preparation. Missed Exams Students with a documented excused absence may make up for an examination without penalty. Notify me before the examination whenever possible. If advance notice is not possible, contact me and provide supporting documentation as soon as reasonably possible, normally within 48 hours. A student who misses an examination because of an unexcused absence may be permitted to complete one makeup examination during the semester. The score earned will be reduced by 10 percentage points. Additional examinations missed because of unexcused absences will receive a zero. Makeup examinations must normally be completed at the Belmont University Testing Center within two school days of the original examination date for an unexcused absence or within two school days after returning to class following an excused absence. Makeup examinations may differ from the original examination but will assess the same major learning outcomes. After all five lecture examinations, including any approved makeups, have been completed, the comprehensive final exam percentage will replace the lowest eligible lecture exam percentage if doing so improves the student’s grade. Grades assigned for academic misconduct are not eligible for replacement. Online Homework & Quizzes Homework assignments and quizzes will mostly be completed through the Mastering A&P online portal and during class. Due dates and times are listed in the course schedule and Canvas. Each Mastering assignment will normally be available at least one to two days before its deadline. These assignments are intended to reinforce course content and provide multiple opportunities for practice during each unit. Students are responsible for checking Canvas regularly and completing assignments by the posted deadlines. Late & Missing Work • Homework assignments have specific due dates and times. • Late submissions are accepted for half credit up to the exam date for that unit. • Homework submitted after that exam date receives a grade of 0. • Deadlines are clearly posted. Keeping track of due dates and times is your responsibility.
