COURSE GOALS
REQUIRED TEXTS:
1.Cartmill, M., W. L. Hylander, and J. Shafland. 1987. Human
Structure.
2.Sumida, S. S. 1995. Laboratory

Publishing. (

of Anatomy. Thieme Medical Publishers,
The atlas by Gilroy et
al. is to be used as a laboratory aid, but has excellent text and will be
useful for lecture study as well. Students are expected to have read all
assigned material prior to the beginning of the designated
lecture or laboratory section.
Grading
Procedures: There will be two midterms of 150 and 200 points each. The final examination will be worth 300 points. Laboratory
quizes will be worth 100 points and the laboratory
final will be worth 100 points. A student extra credit project can be worth as
much as 50 points. Total points graded equals 850 with a total possible of 900
points attainable. There will be no make-up quizzes or practicals
due to the need to prepare multiple stations for these types of evaluations. Examinations
that are missed due to unavoidable problems (e.g. illness or a death in the
family) will normally be made up as an
Grading Criteria: The course is not graded on a curve. Letter grades are not assigned for individual exams or quizzes; rather they are based on the cumulative points. Grades will be set according to the criteria listed below.

beginning of week two.
Laboratory
Equipment
Dissection
Tools: Minimal dissection tools that
will be required for Biology 323 are: a blunt probe, scissors, a scalpel with
replaceable blades, and a pair of forceps. Kits containing most of these are
available in the student store but are of inferior quality. Medical grade tools
are preferable and are available at the Loma Linda Medical Student bookstore
and the UCLA Biomedical bookstore. American Surgical Supply on
Office
Hours: Dr. Sumida’s office hours will be held on Tuesdays directly
after class in room BI-314 or the class laboratory. Additional hours will be added
once students’ schedules are evaluated. Students wishing extra time in the
laboratory may use these and the remaining hours between lecture and laboratory
periods for review if the laboratory is unoccupied by other classes.
Additionally, e-mail is checked by the instructor daily. Dr. Sumida's e-mail
address is: ssumida@csusb.edu.
SERICES TO STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES: If you are in need of an
accommodation for a disability in order to participate in this class, please
let the professor know as soon as possible, and also contact Services to
