  33. Course General Objective:
  34. After completing this course, students will be able to show significant domain on the basic, functional and clinical Human Physiology.
  35.  
  36. • Develop effective mental processing/understanding of the studied material, in order to identify correctly and correlate the appropriate information of the material presented.
  37. • Review the cell biology of eukaryotic cells including their various organelles and their functions.
  38. • Explain different transport mechanisms across the membrane.
  39. • Know comprehensive physiologic mechanisms and terminology.
  40. • Know the physiology of every major system organ of human body to develop fast and logic reasoning towards function/organs/systems depicting and organization.
  41. • Discuss the physiology in a clinical approach and study clinical cases and problem-based learning to understand the basic physiology.
  42. • Explain the consequences of disturbances of the physiological state of different systems.
  43. • Discuss the pathophysiology of selected human diseases that are discussed in the course.

  50. Attendance Policy:
  51.  
  52. All students enrolled in the PCB3703C course are expected to attend to all programmed class meetings. Attendance is mandatory. Students who have 6 excused or unexcused absences in this course should take a final cumulative exam (which includes the final material as well as the material from previous exams) to be able to graduate from the course. Examples of excused absences are medical situations, accidents, direct relative death, etc. In any of such circumstances, the correspondent written excuse should be presented to validate the excused condition. Excessive absences considering both, excused and unexcused, situation may result in withdrawn from the class.
  53. Leaving earlier than the dismissal time, may be interpreted as an absence and the professor should be informed previously. Exams may not be announced. Thus, be on time to each class session because exams and announcements as well, will be conducted at the beginning of class periods. It is not applicable to this course to do make-up of exam due to tardiness or absence. Getting late to an exam session imply that the student will not be allowed by the professor to take the test with the rest of the class. Which means that has to schedule for a make-up exam, if their reason is acceptable. In order to make up a test, the student must contact me immediately to set up the day and time, which must be within one (2) days of the originally scheduled exam. Make-up tests will cover the same material as regular examinations, however, might employ a different evaluation methodology (e.g. Oral exam, discussion questions, essays, etc). Final exam is usually the more comprehensive one. There will be only one opportunity to make-up a missed lecture exam; if you do not attend to the reposition test as scheduled, will automatically result in a zero (0%). The final Exam cannot be made-up. If you missed it either by tardiness or absence will result in a zero (0%).
  54.  
  55.  
  56. Talking during the test will be interpreted as cheating and will result in a value of zero (0) in a scale of one hundred (100).
  57.  
  58. It is the students’ responsibility to inquire about any eventuality announced while late or absent. However, be considerate and wise in selecting the moment to do so. Chatting
  59. during class sessions will not be tolerated, even if it is regarding to class or a lecture topic.
  60. Student Conduct in the Classroom:
  61.  
  62. UCF is committed to a policy that entitles honesty in academic affairs. Any conduct that comprises a breach of this policy shall result in academic and/or disciplinary action. Which affects students grades and enrollment status.
  63. Cheating whereby non-permissible written, visual, or oral assistance including but not limited to that obtained from another student is utilized on normative exercises. Unauthorized possession/use of examination or course related material may also constitute cheating.
  64. Plagiarism whereby another’s work is deliberately used or appropriated without any indication of the original source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student’s own. Any student failing to properly credit ideas or materials from another has plagiarized. Similarly, a student who has assisted another in any of the aforementioned breach of standards shall be considered equally culpable.
  65.  
  66. Disruptive behavior in the classroom will not be tolerated. Persistency in such conduct, which includes, but is no necessarily limited to, inappropriate and/or excessive noises, excessive talking, cell phones utilization, moving about, laughing, and malicious, vulgar, or vindictive speech, threats, or gestures. If the professor deems it necessary, you may be asked to leave the classroom. If the student(s) refuse, campus police will be contacted.

  167. The Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences
  168. Statement on Academic Integrity
  169.  
  170. The Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences holds students to the highest standards of academic conduct. Without exception, students who violate these standards will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct. It is critical that students read and understand the Rules of Conduct described in the student handbook, “The Golden Rule.”
  171.  
  172. This document describes examples of student misconduct, but the faculty of the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences want to convey the following positive message to our students:
  173.  
  174. • The lifelong pursuit of a professional career in biomedical science and its related disciplines is achieved through one’s own hard work.
  175. • If you encounter difficulties in your courses of study, cheating is not the solution. Seek assistance from your instructor, early and often.
  176. • If you devote the necessary energy and resources to your study, and you are prepared for the coursework, you can achieve success.
  177.  
  178. Students will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and disciplinary action will be taken for violation of the following rules. Each rule is stated in full in the Golden Rule document. Here we provide examples that relate best to our courses and discipline.
  179.  
  180. The following (1-6) are violations of the Rules of Conduct and are prohibited:
  181.  
  182. 1. Unauthorized assistance
  183. Examples:
  184. • A student copies another student’s answers during an exam.
  185. • A student uses notes or electronic devices during an exam when they are not allowed.
  186. • A student obtains a lab report from another student who previously took the course, and uses the materials to complete a lab assignment for the class. Both students are in violation of the Rules of Conduct.
  187. • Two students work together on an online assignment or exam when they were instructed to work alone.
  188.  
  189. 2. Communication to another through written, visual, electronic or oral means
  190. Example: Two students are working on an assignment in the library that the instructor has assigned as an individual assignment. One student is finished with the assignment and offers to allow the second student to use the webpage he has found which contains information related to the assignment. Both students are in violation of the Rules of Conduct.
  191.  
  192.  
  193. 3. Commercial use of academic material
  194. Examples:
  195. • A student takes an extra copy of an exam and sells it to another student.
  196. • A student offers to sell lab reports and class notes on a website, and sells them to the highest bidder. Both the student who sold the materials and the student who purchased them are in violation of this rule.
  197. • A student sells class notes to a note-taking service who sells these notes to other students in the course.
  198.  
  199. 4. Falsifying or misrepresenting your academic work
  200. Examples:
  201. • Two students work together and share answers on a homework assignment where specific instructions to work alone were given.
  202. • Two students who are lab partners shared the results of a lab session. They collaborated during the process of writing the lab report and are consequently in violation of this rule.
  203.  
  204. 5. Plagiarism: Whereby another’s work is used or appropriated without any indication of the source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student’s own
  205. Examples:
  206. • Text taken verbatim from any source and presented as a student’s own original work, including the course book and lab manual, is plagiarism.
  207. • Copying and pasting existing text, either through electronic means or otherwise, and editing the copied text is plagiarism.
  208. • Quotations must be used around text taken verbatim and the source must be cited. While not plagiarism per se, the inclusion of numerous quotes is strongly discouraged, and quotes may even be prohibited by the instructor. Ask the instructor when in doubt about what is acceptable on an assignment.
  209. • Note: Assignments will be evaluated by analytical software to detect plagiarism.
  210.  
  211. 6. Any student who knowingly assists another to violate the academic behavior standards listed above is also in violation of the Rules of Conduct
  212.  
  213. 7. Disciplinary Actions:
  214. BSBS will take full disciplinary action against student misconduct.
  215. • Violation of any of the Rules of Conduct indicated above on an exam, assignment, or report will automatically result in a score of zero for that exam, assignment, or report and a lowering of the final grade for the course by one letter grade. Grave violations of the rules, at a minimum, may result in a final grade of F for the course.
  216. • The student’s misconduct will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct, which may result in additional penalties such as suspension or expulsion from UCF.
  217.
