Turn the paper in by email three times:
1) Turn in the title, subheadings, and two formatted
references; one must be a journal article and one must be a
website. Submit by email.
2) Turn in the final, polished report (50 points)
 Submit this by handing in a paper copy.

 There is another document there that shows where errors
are in previous student papers.
Discussion Forum
 Each student will choose a topic in the news that relates to
anatomy or physiology.
 Present your topic to the class in 10 minutes, and be
prepared to answer questions from the class.
 Prepare this on a PPT and bring it on a flash drive.
 We will have a sign up sheet for the order in which students
will be ready to present. The first three people on this list
should be ready by the next class period. Whenever we have
time at the end of lecture, we will use it for these Discussion
Forums.
Attendance
 Attendance is mandatory. Attendance will be taken each
class period and turned in to the school each day.
 An absence is assessed each time a student is not in
attendance during a regularly scheduled class period,
whether or not it is an excused absence.
 An instructor may withdraw a student from class prior to
the seventh session in undergraduate courses if there are
more than two unexcused absences.
 Students who have more than three absences,
excused or unexcused, receive an F in the course
(school rules).
TECHNOLOGY
 Students are expected to be competent in using




current technology appropriate for this discipline.
Such technology may include word processing,
spreadsheet and presentation software.
Use of the internet and e-mail is also be required.
You might want to bring your laptop to class.
There are many electrical outlets in lab but few in
lecture but you can bring a long extension cord and a
multi-plug outlet if needed.
Cell Phones
 Please turn your cell phone to vibrate during class


time.
Please turn your cell phone OFF during exams.
You are NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER A CELL
PHONE DURING AN EXAM OR QUIZ.
Please arrange in advance for another person to be
an emergency contact for your children during your
exam times.
You also must have all cell phones put away (out of
your sight and out of reach) during all quizzes and
exams.
Disabilities
 If you have specific disabilities and require
accommodations, please let me know in the first
week of the semester so that your learning needs
may be appropriately met.
Dropping the class
 You only have 9 days to drop the class. If you need to
drop, make sure you officially withdraw
through Admissions and Records, or you will
get an “F” on your permanent record.
 If a student gets a D or F in a class, you can retake
the class, but the bad grade will always remain on
your transcript along with the new grade will also
appear.
 Getting a W is also not viewed favorably by nursing
schools, so make sure you have enough time to study
for this class (plan on 20 hours per week of study
time).
Dropping the class
 If you get a B or C in a class, you cannot take it again
at the same school DISTRICT. You can take it again
elsewhere, but both of your grades will be seen by the
nursing school if you submit both transcripts. The
nursing schools look at a C the first time you take a
class and an A the second time you take a class, and
they will give you credit for your average of both
grades, so they will assign you a B for the overall
grade in that class.
 If you drop the class, you cannot continue to
attend lecture or lab.
Getting a W or an F?
 If a student gets a D or F in a class, you can retake
the class, but the bad grade will always remain on
your transcript along with and “R”, indicating you retook the class, and the new grade will also appear.
 Only the new grade is used for your GPA (but you
have to fill out a form at Admissions and Records, it
is not automatic). However, since the bad grade also
appears on your record, you may want to consider
dropping the class instead of getting the bad grade
that nursing schools can still see.
Getting a W or an F?
 Getting a W is also not viewed favorably by nursing
schools. The last day to drop a class without a W is
right after the first lecture quiz.
How do nursing schools feel about W’s and F’s?
 Cypress –One W in the prerequisites is OK.
 Cerritos –Only allows 1 W, D, or F for prerequisites. Can
repeat 1 prerequisite to improve the grade.
 Golden West –They have a formula for the number of W, D,
or Fs on the transcripts.
 Long Beach City –Only allows 1 W, D, or F for
prerequisites. Can repeat 1 prerequisite to improve the
grade.
 Santa Ana – Student can petition to have the W, D, or F
removed. GPA will calculate both grades until substandard
grade removed. The number of W, D, or Fs does not affect
entry. The first passing grade is the grade used to calculate
points for entry into the program.
Make sure you write your
answers on the correct
line of your Scranton…the
right answer on the wrong
line is still wrong! That’s
like writing the morning
dose of a patient’s
medicine on the line for
the evening dose!

Please do not bring guests or children to class. We must ask this for college liability
reasons.
You are welcome to use a tape recorder in class and you may use a digital camera for
studying lab work.
When you e-mail me, identify yourself in the e-mail and the subject line should identify
the class. Remember, you will be asking me for a letter of recommendation someday
wherein I have to judge your written communication skills.
Formaldehyde is used in lab; if you are pregnant, consult your doctor.
Required lab dress code: No tank tops, shorts above the knees, or open toed shoes.
Come and go to the bathroom as you want.
If you have a fever, please do not come to class until the fever has been gone
for 24 hours.
You are encouraged to form study groups outside of class. It is common to see a
remarkable improvement in students’ performance when they review and study as a
group. Before you leave today make 3 friends in class/ or study groups you can contact
for information due to missed class time or studying times. Get their email addresses and
cell phone numbers if possible.
Grades Posted by Random ID Number
 It is against campus policy to post grades by student
names or ID number.
 Therefore, you will be assigned a random number to
use this semester so you can see your grades each
month.
Lab Safety
 Do not eat, drink, smoke or store food in the laboratory.

Report ALL accidents immediately!
Know the locations of fire extinguishers, the fire blanket,
the eyewash apparatus, and the first aid kit.
Know emergency procedures, phone numbers and
evacuation routes (see information on the bulletin board
in the front of the classroom.)
Use caution when handling sharp instruments.
Wear gloves in the lab during dissection days.
Under no circumstances are visitors or children allowed in the lab.
If you drop the class, you cannot continue to attend lecture
or lab.

A little about myself….
 Microbiology major, CSULB
 Graduated from Samuel Merritt College of Medicine,





1986.
Spent my 4th year at USC Medical Center
Surgical Residency in several OC Hospitals
Private practice in Orange County as physician and
surgeon for 20 years.
Came down with leukemia, had to close my doors.
Recovered, decided to go into teaching.
A little about myself….
 Updated my microbiology classes at CSULB.
 Earned a Community College Teaching Certificate at
CSUDH, completed my internship in Anatomy at
Fullerton College.
 I then graduated from Loma Linda University with a
PhD in Biology.
 I have mainly been teaching Anatomy, Microbiology,
and Physiology for the past 10 years at 12 schools in
all nearby Counties.
A little about myself….
 I did two research projects at LLU:
1. Algal control by phosphate restriction in freshwater lakes.
Involves using a modified Koi pond sand bed filtration system
to filter lakes, with the use of ferric chloride to bind up the
phosphate in the water. Without the phosphate, the algae
cannot grow.
2. The prevalence of blue-green algae toxins that cause liver
cancer. What coastal lagoons are harboring the algae that
produce these toxins? Why are some lagoons affected and
others are not? Which lagoons are harbors for endangered
species?
Try not to misspell words
so badly that if you spelled
that word on a patient’s
chart that goes to court for
a lawsuit, you would lose
because doubt is shed
about your competency!

Tips on getting into LLU
 For those of you who might consider applying to LLU for
nursing, pharmacy, dental, or medical school, you are more
likely to be accepted if you get you Bachelor's degree there.
They are having an open house on Sunday, January 31 from
10:00am - 3:00pm. That will give you an opportunity to
meet the Professors and people on the Admissions
Committees of programs you are interested in.

campus, and other exciting events. Plus, refreshments and
lunch will be provided.
Tips on getting into LLU
 Most important you will be able to attend two (2)
program information sessions you are interested in.
E.g. You can attend the Environmental Sciences,
Nursing School, Dental, Pharmacy, Physical
Therapy, Med-school sessions, or any other
participating program on campus.
If you are interested in attending please visit
http://www.llu.edu/central/openhouse/index.page
and register. Make sure to select the program(s)
you are interested on the form.
Tips on getting into LLU
