Assessments: Assessments for this course will include weekly online quizzes and fourproctored exams. The four exams must be taken at a testing center so

that they can be proctored. The exams will be closed book. Early in thesemester we will work out where you are going to take the proctored
exams. If you take the exams at any of Yavapai Colleges testingcenters the proctoring will be free. If you are in a location that requires
a non Yavapai College affiliated testing center you may have to pay asmall fee to take the exams. (Usually about 15 30 dollars) You are
responsible for this fee to take the exams. Every effort will be made tofind a free testing center. There will be 11 online quizzes covering the
lecture and lab material. The questions on the quizzes will be similar,but not identical, to those found on the exams. The point of the quizzes
is to prepare you for the types of questions you will see on the exams.There will be weekly online labs. At the beginning of the semester
students will be required to complete a quiz covering the syllabus for theclass.
Grading (credit) criteria: Exams:
4 proctored exams at 125 pts apiece......500 pts.
Quizzes:11 online quizzes at 25 pts. apiece ....275 pts.
Labs:
14 at 25 pts. apiece........350 pts.
Syllabus Quiz.......20 pts.
Total Points 1,145 pts.
Letter Grades: A = 1030 1,145 pts. B = 916 1029 pts. C = 801 915 pts. D = 687
800 pts. F 686 pts.
Labs: Labs will be graded for quality and completeness. Labs will be assignedweekly and will be due on Tuesdays at 5 pm.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given online about once a week. Each quiz will be
worth 25 points and will be due on Tuesdsays at 5 pm.
Exams There will be four closed book comprehensive proctored exams duringthe semester. In order to pass the class a student must have a 70% testaverage on the four exams. If you achieve less than a 70% on an exam
but have a 70% average on all four exams you will pass the class.
Absences: There are no make-ups allowed for labs or quizzes. Exams can be made
up with instructor permission only. If the student misses an exam theexcuse must be accompanied by documentation. (ie, Doctors excuse)
No extra credit work is allowed.

Instructor Procedures and Institution Policies
Attendance:Students who do not attend all class meetings and complete all required
assignments during the first two weeks of the semester will be droppedfrom the course.
The last date for student initiated withdrawal is October 16, 2011.
Withdrawing from a course after the published deadline for withdrawalrequires instructor approval and signature. I will only sign off on
withdrawals from this course afterOctober 16, 2011 in the event of aserious and unavoidable situation. Students enrolled in this course
afterOctober 16,2011 will receive the grade earned for the semester.
As this is a college course that transfers as a Humanities option and
articulates as a sophomore level Art History Course to all three stateuniversities, the S/U grades are not an option for college students.
Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period closes, students may withdraw until the
deadline for student-initiated withdrawals. Withdrawals result in a "W"on the permanent transcript.
For semester-length classes 14 weeks in length or longer, the withdrawaldeadline is November 1 in the Fall semester, April 1 in the Spring
semester.
For classes of 4 days to 14 weeks in length, withdrawals are permitted
until the class is 50 percent completed.
For classes of 1-3 days in length, withdrawals are permitted until theclass is 50 percent completed.
A "Y" is noted on the permanent transcript for an administrative
withdrawal. More information can be obtained from the Admissions &Registration Office.
Academic integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learningenvironment. The presentation of another individuals work as ones
own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating, plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the Colleges
8/6/2019 BIO 201 Syllabus Fall 2011 Online
5/7
Student Code of Conduct. Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, andviolation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the
Yavapai College General Catalog.
Student code ofconduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property are
fundamental expectations for every student. The Student Code of
Conduct outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process forresponding to allegations of student misconduct.
Disability support services: Yavapai College is committed to providing educational support services
to students with documented disabilities. Academic support services oraccommodations for mobility impaired students must be arranged
through the ADA Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928.776.2079 orVerde Valley Campus: (928.634.6563).
Cell phone and pager: Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learningenvironment. All cell phones and pagers must be placed in a non-
audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the
learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones and pagers must be usedoutside these facilities.
Preventing Harassment: Students are expected to respond and write in a professional and
appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,
discuss opinions, present on a selected subject, or post to a web board.Inappropriate language or objectionable material will not be tolerated
and could result in a failing grade for the class. Students and facultyeach have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learning
environment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standardsmay be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professional
responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity andrespect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the
manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professionalcourtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to
individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion,politics, sexual orientation, gender variance and nationalities.
