Grading
2) You will need colored pencils, as many anatomical color sheets will be used. I always have
some available in the classroom, but having your own is VERY helpful!
3) There will be a Google Classroom set up for this class, that will be used for certain
assignments. If a deadline is set in Google Classroom, the late work policy still applies.
4) You should expect several small quizzes (often unannounced) as well as a test over each unit.
Generally three or four units are covered within a marking period.
5) You can also expect to do some labs and activities that will include written reports throughout
the semester. The lab reports will follow the standard lab report outline. Occasionally a report
will be a formal lab report that you will word process (type) on the computer.
6) You can expect to have homework on a regular basis in this class. Although I try to allow class
time for many assignments, work not completed in class will be assigned as homework. USE
CLASS TIME WISELY!!!
Extra Credit
At least one extra credit assignment will be available each grading period. Specific instructions
will be provided when applicable.
