Department Objectives:
To have a sound knowledge of the structure of the human body to comprehend the dental
profession.

Department’s Attitudes are:

-Ethics.
-Critical thinking.
-Hard work.
-Discipline.

Instructional Methods:
1- Lectures-are interactive sessions to have an overview of the subject, explain and
discuss certain areas.
2- Lectures and/or handouts are not replacement to the main source of information, the
textbook.

Attendance Policy:
 The student is expected to attend all classes.
 Repeated tardiness and leaving prior to dismissal is a set -up for failure.
 Absence in excess of 10% is defined as unsatisfactory progress and will be
reported to the Dean’s office.
Student & Classroom Behavior:
*Students are expected to act in a civil manner and respect the rights and opinions
of other students and the instructor.
*Student/Instructor interaction is a function of the learning experience and should
be approached in a manner conductive to the learning process.

*Disruptive behavior in class will not be tolerated.

*Any evidence of cheating on a test will result in the student receiving a (0) for
the test and will be announced .The instructor will be the final authority on whether
cheating has occurred.

*Cellular phones are disruptive and means of cheating in exams, therefore

students are advised to enter the exams without them.
