Be on time! * A lecture exam may be made up by giving the instructor prior notice, in writing ( is fine), of any future absence, make up lecture exams may be of a different format than that of the regularly scheduled exam. Exams are open to discussion and rescoring until the next exam of its type (lecture for lecture and lab for lab). Test scores will not be changed after this time. Students thinking about dropping the course should consult with the instructor before taking any action, if possible. Important Dates Sept. 2 nd Sept. 6 th Oct. 28 th Last day to add and pay for a class with an add code, or drop without a W recorded.

3 Lab Safety Please wear shoes in the laboratory in order to protect your feet from potential chemicals and broken glass found on the floor. Protective eye wear (safety glasses are available in the lab room) should be worn when working with preserved specimens. An eyewash station is available in the room in the event chemicals become splashed in the eyes. Sharp objects (scalpels, razor blades and pins) and biohazards must be disposed of in the red sharps container. Disinfectant and Bandaids are available at the first aid station. For a general overview of laboratory safety and protocol, see the last page of this syllabus.

6 IMPROVING YOUR STUDY HABITS LECTURE: 1. Read the pertinent textbook chapters before lecture. 2. Plan on checking the website course page daily for lectures & lab handouts, review guides, and other course related materials. 3. Pay attention and take excellent notes during class. 4. Rewrite your lecture notes before the next lecture. This will allow you to clarify and reorganize the notes and it starts your studying process. 5. Links for student success strategies are also on the website. 6. Study your notes throughout the unit. Do not cram for the exam on the last day. 7. Study and understand the concepts presented in class. Memorizing and understanding the concepts will enhance your knowledge and grade better than just memorizing random facts. 8. Clarify your notes by listening to the tapes, reading your book, asking fellow students or by asking your instructor. LAB: 1. Lab is mostly memorization. That is learning and associating names to the various parts of the body. 2. Use your lab time wisely. 3. Read the lab material before coming to class. 4. Use the open lab hours or the Center for Independent Learning (CIL) on the 4 th floor of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) during non-class time for studying. 5. Develop some method of testing your knowledge, such as having your lab partner test you or making practice lab exams during lab time. 6. Practice WRITING the terminology for each exam spelling counts. Page 6 of 7

7 General Laboratory Safety Observe the following general laboratory safety practices whenever applicable. Lab Cleanliness You are accountable for keeping the lab clean. Always leave the bench top clean. Put all chemicals and lab materials away when you are finished. Throw away paper towels and Kimwipes that you have used. Doublecheck your lab station before you leave to ensure that you are leaving the station in a clean and organized fashion for the next group. Labels You must always label any tube, beaker, petri dish, or vial with your initials, the date, and contents before use even if it s water. Failure to label containers leads to unknown chemicals, which in turn creates many problems for chemical disposal crews. Lab Security Your assistance in keeping the lab secure is essential. Immediately report anything suspicious to your laboratory instructor, or the campus police. When the lab is unoccupied, the door must remain closed and locked at all times. No lab equipment may leave the lab at any time. Good Laboratory Practices Avoid loose clothing such as dresses, neckties, and dangling jewelry which can get caught in equipment. Long hair is also a risk around some equipment and should be secured as a precaution. Know where to find and how to operate fire extinguishers, safety showers, eye fountains or any other safety equipment. You should always familiarize yourself with the MSDS before using any chemicals. Ventilation hoods should be used when transferring volatile or toxic chemicals. Flammable liquids should be stored in the Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinet when not in use. Minimize the amount of such materials brought into the lab. When working with flammable liquids keep the liquid in a hood and return the liquid to the Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinet at the end of a lab session. Electrical hazards should be eliminated. Frayed or otherwise hazardous electrical cords should be reported and replaced or repaired. Flammable solvents should be kept away from electrical equipment. Electrical equipment should be grounded. Spills must be cleaned up immediately. This includes water, solvents, mercury (broken thermometer), or any other laboratory chemicals. Hazardous waste must be properly labeled and presented to the laboratory manager for disposal. This includes organic liquids, flammable materials, toxic chemicals, and solutions of extreme acidity or alkalinity. Never pour these solutions down the drain. Page 7 of 7
