Undergraduate Course 3319
1. Course Information
Anatomy & Cell Biology 3319
Fall/Winter Terms 2011 - 2012
Anatomy & Cell Biology 3319 is a full course which uses a systems approach to study the gross anatomical structures of the human body. In most cases, structure will be related to function by using clinical examples of the normal and diseased states. Systems covered include the central and peripheral nervous systems and special senses, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Lectures will be mounted on the course website prior to each class and will constitute course notes. This is not a laboratory course but there is a mandatory 1 hour demonstration each week. The laboratory demonstration will compliment the lecture material by using models, cadaveric material (ie. prosections), videos and diagrams to describe anatomical structures and relationships in 3 dimensions. There will be a short quiz after each lab demonstration which will be graded and used to calculate a lab mark for the year. There will be four quarterly tests during the academic year. Each term test will consist of 75 multiple choice questions and will last 2 hours. Each test will cover material for that quarter of the course and will account for 22.5% of the final mark. The lab mark will account for the final 10% of the final mark.

The quarterly term exams will each consist of multiple choice questions from lectures, assigned textbook readings and laboratory material. There will be 75 multiple choice questions and the exam will last 2 hours.
Absence from course commitments
A. Absence for medical illness:
Students must familiarize themselves with the Policy on Accommodation for Medical Illness:
https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/index.cfm
If you are unable to meet a course requirement due to illness or other serious circumstances, you must
provide valid medical or other supporting documentation to the Dean's office as soon as possible and
contact your instructor immediately. It is the student's responsibility to make alternative arrangements
with their instructor once the accommodation has been approved and the instructor has been informed.
In the event of a missed final exam, a "Recommendation of Sepcial Examination" form must be obtained from the Dean's Office immediately. For further information please see:
http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/appeals/medical.pdf
A student requiring academic accommodation due to illness, should use the Student Medical Certificate when
visiting an off-campus medical facility or request a Record's Release Form (located in the Dean's Office)
for visits to Student Health Services. The form can be found at:
https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/medical_document.pdf
The Policy on Accommodation for Medical Illness is also available on the BMSUE secure site:
http://www.uwo.ca/bmsc/
Students will be given a mark of 0 for missed labs unless they have a valid excuse. In the event of illness or other
concerns preventing a student from attending a lab, medical documentation (or equivalent) must be submitted by the
student directly to the appropriate Faculty Dean`s Office and
not to the instructor. It will subsequently be the
Dean`s Office that will determine if accommodation is warranted.
B. Absence for non-medical reasons:
If you are unable to meet a course requirement for
non-medical reasons, you must provide valid supporting documentation
to the Dean's office as soon as possible and contact your instructor immediately. It is the student's responsibility
to make alternative arrangements with their instructor once the accommodation has been approved and the instructor
has been informed. In the event of a missed final exam, a "Recommendation of Special Examination" form must be
obtained from the Dean's Office immediately
C. Special Examinations
In the event that a make-up exam is required, this will be a similar format to the class exam. It will consist of multiple
choice questions from lectures, assigned textbook readings and laboratory demonstrations. There will be 75 multiple choice questions
and the exam will last 2 hours. There will be one make-up exam scheduled after the class exam.
Students who cannot write the scheduled class or make-up exam will be required to write a special exam on the next quarterly test date which includes 75 questions from the course material from the preceding two quarters.
D. Rounding up of final marks
Final marks will be rounded up from 0.5 to the next highest integer. Rounding up to the next GPA cut-off (ex. 89 to 90) will not be done. Please don’t ask. The mark you get is the mark you earn.
