Attendance and Class Participation: Because learning requires cooperation, attendance as well as class participation in lab is mandatory.    If you have 2 or more excused absences in lab, your final grade will be lowered by at least half a grade.

MAKE-UP PRACTICAL EXAMS AND LABS WILL BE PERMITTED ONLY FOR THE MOST EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES!

 

Laboratory Rules and Regulations:

Human anatomical specimens will be used in the laboratory portion of this course.  The use of these specimens is a valuable experience, and it is necessary to respect such a privilege. There is no better way to learn human anatomy.  These are persons who have donated their bodies so that you may learn anatomy.  I expect you to behave accordingly.  I will be very strict concerning behavior in and around the cadaver lab.

NO ONE is to bring visitors into the lab for any reason.  Only those students that are enrolled in the class are allowed in the anatomy lab.  NO cell phones should be in sight.  Photographic equipment of any kind is not allowed.   Anyone who violates this or any other rule will be dropped from the course with a failing grade and may be subject to further action by the University, possibly resulting in their expulsion.  Since we must abide by the guidelines established by the University of Iowa Medical Center, any infringement of these guidelines may jeopardize our further use of human specimens.

Proper security measures will be used for the cadaver lab.  It will remain locked when not in use.  If you would like to study in the cadaver lab outside the regularly scheduled times, you must sign in with me or Dr. Kelley (Lew 203).  Be prepared to show your student I.D.  THE MAIN ANATOMY LAB SHOULD BE OPEN FOR STUDY DURING REGULAR CLASS HOURS DURING THE WEEK (8:00-5:00).  If you wish to use the lab at any other time, you must check in at the security desk in the Rogalski Center, show them your student ID and have them let you in.  You must also check out at the same place.

According to OSHA regulations, all students must wear goggles and gloves while dissecting.  Gloves will be provided for you, but goggles must be purchased in the Bookstore.

 

Open Labs:  There will be two evenings each week in which a tutor will hold open lab sessions.  In addition, I will open the lab the Sunday evening before each laboratory practical exam. 

 

Students with Disabilities: SAU supports student success by providing a broad range of reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities.  If you need an accommodation due to a disability, please make arrangements with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

 

Remember, I am here to facilitate your learning process, so please come and see me if you have any questions.   I want you to be successful in this course!
