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 Special 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: 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.

6. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND METHOD OF EVALUATION

This course will study the gross anatomy of the whole human body. This will take two full terms. There will be four tests during the academic year. Each exam will cover material for that quarter of the course and will account for 22.5% of the final mark. The fall mid-term test will be held on Thursday, October 19, 2012 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm and will consist of 75 "most appropriate answer" type multiple choice questions. The winter mid-term exam will be held in February, 2013. The two term tests (in December and April) will be held during the University scheduled end-of-term examination periods (times and dates T.B.A.). The remaining 10% of the final mark (2.5% per quarter) will be obtained from lab marks. Students are reminded that approval for writing a make-up exam must be obtained by the student from the Science Councilors in the Deans Office, Faculty of Science (WSC 191). Students without approval from a councilor will not be allowed to write the make-up exam. The make-up exam will be similar format to the class exam – 75 multiple choice questions from the lectures, readings and laboratory demonstrations. 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.
