COURSE DESCRIPTION
Biology 252
is Part II (final part) of the Anatomy and Physiology course. You must have finished Bio 252 (Part I). If you have enrolled in Bio 252, you must also enroll in Biol 252, which is the laboratory component of the course. The course carries 4 credits and meets a total of 6 hours per week. For the lab component, you will receive a letter grade of AP@ or AF@. If you fail the course, you will receive AF@ in both lecture and lab. If you receive a final grade of AINC@ in the lecture, you will likewise receive an AINC@ as a lab final grade. A new component is now added to this part of the course. Each student will be responsible for at least three (3) take home reading assignments relevant to the topic of discussion to be decided throughout the course. A written summary of each reading must be submitted on the following class period. Each student will receive a grade credit for each assignment.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Reading of the text and lab manual are required to comprehend the principles taught in this course. Attendance is required and will be strictly monitored by each instructor. A student who is absent from a class meeting is responsible for all materials covered and for all announcements made by the professor, including dates and handouts. Students should make every effort to come to class on time, listen to the professor, take good notes, study the textbook and ask questions. Students are urged to see the professor in the event of problems that need attention. In addition to the office hours, your professor is available for conference before and after every class. For both the lecture and the lab components of the course, each student will be required to take a uniform midterm exam, and also a uniform final exam at the end of the semester. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS FOR THE UNIFORM MID-TERM AND UNIFORM FINAL EXAMS.

GRADING:
  Lecture Exams 25%
  Uniform Departmental Midterm 15%
Uniform Departmental Final 20%
  Lab Grade 40%
  100%
Lab Grade (40%) will be divided as follows:
  Orals and quizzes 20%
  Uniform lab midterm & final 20%
