Final and Quiz 9: Saturday, May 12,
Course:
Scientific and Medical Terminology is an introduction to the Greek and Latin
roots most frequently used in scientific language. The course is designed to
provide students with a basic working vocabulary of Latin and Greek prefixes,
roots, and suffixes in order to expand their present technical medical
vocabulary and to facilitate familiarity with new terms as they are encountered
in further studies.
Class:
The class will cover one to two lessons each week in Dunmore & Fleischer.
Class time will be spent in going over and discussing the etymological material
of the lessons, in drill, and in exercises. Special
attention will be paid to basic anatomy and physiology. Students
are responsible for reading through each lesson, for memorizing all new bases,
prefixes, and suffixes, and for working through whatever exercises may be
assigned before the class meeting devoted to a lesson.
To learn vocabulary, you must use
it. Consequently this will be a
highly participatory experience.
Tests:
There will be 9 quizzes and a final exam during the term. You will be asked to
identify or supply Latin and Greek prefixes, bases, and suffixes, to define
words etymologically, to match words with their correct modern definitions, to
create words from etymological clues, and to perform other operations utilizing
Greek and Latin vocabulary. The final exam will be comprehensive.
Grading:
Each quiz will be worth 20 points; the final exam, 50 points. The points from
the quizzes and exams will be added at term's end and a course grade will be
assigned on the basis of each student's percentage gained out of the total
possible points according to the following scale: 100-90% = A; 89-80% = B;
79-70% = C; 69-60% = D; 59-0% = F.
Nota
Bene:
There will be no make-ups on quizzes or exams without my permission prior to the
time of the quiz or exam in question. Medical
absences should be verified by a physician's note. Social engagements are not a
legitimate excuse for missing either homework or tests. The final will be
administered only on the officially designated day and time and at no other day
or time. No exceptions to this rule
will be made without a note of request from the dean of your college. Do
not, under any circumstances, miss the final exam.
Attendance:
Excessive absences will certainly impair your ability to perform on exams.
Diligent attendance and engagement in class will improve your testing
performance, will add to the pleasure of the class, and may be considered by the
instructor at the end of term in those cases where course grades are borderline.
Should a class be missed, it is the responsibility of each student to cover
missed material by communication with colleagues. Get a couple of phone numbers
and throw yourself upon their mercies.
Courtesy:
Late arrivals to and early departures from class are both rude and disruptive.
Inclement weather aside, such comings and goings cannot be tolerated. If
circumstances require them on a regular basis (e.g., a drive from Bolivar or a
Integrity:
I
assume at the outset that all people in the class are of the highest moral
character and probity. However, in a case of suspected cheating on an exam or
plagiarism on written assignments, I shall return the examination or assignment
without a grade, and the student must see me immediately. When good faith is
restored, a grade will be given. In the case of unquestioned dishonesty, the
examination or assignment will be given an automatic zero, and the student must
see me immediately. In the latter case the relevant University authorities may
be notified, and the student will be counseled to drop the course. (Plagiarism
is the theft of intellectual property, stealing the ideas or words of another
and passing them off as one's own without crediting the source.)
The
Honor System applies: You will neither lie nor cheat, nor tolerate anyone who
does.
Procedures
for Grade Inquiries: If you have any questions about quiz, exam, or final
course grading, please see me first. If you have further questions, I shall
refer you to the department head, Professor Kernen, as the next step in the
process. Any inquiries about grading should be made within a week of receipt of
the grade at issue.
