Volunteer TA (vTA): Several VTAs will assist the students in the labs.
Library TAs and vTA: Several TAs will assist the students in the library, please attend.
Each lab sections TA will be available during your scheduled lab time. Appointments can be made
with your TA as needed. The provided email addresses should be used as the primary means of
contact for any questions regarding any matter in the Lab sections of this course.
Laboratory Description:
The lab material is taught and discussed in the lecture. Therefore, the lab is a self-paced/self
learning session. This lab has been designed so that YOU must put in the effort (and to connect it to
the lecture material) in order to receive the grade that you desire. The object of self-learning is to
encourage students to work by themselves as well as to work together in groups and to use all
available resources to learn the material (to include your textbooks and the internet). The TAs are
present to go over some material, but primarily to assist when there is difficulty understanding the
material and to help proctor the lab tests and quizzes. It is expected that YOU the student will study
before, during and after lab. The syllabus of terms may not contain 100% of material used for
lab exams. Approximately 3 to 5 secondary questions per lab practical exam will be asked
from lecture material. Lab exams are given in a multiple choice format.
NOTE: Syllabus is subject to change depending on circumstances throughout the semester.

Scantrons:
All students will be required to turn in ten (10) blank (raspberry) scantrons to their lab TAs during
the second week of lab. Please do not write on the scantrons, but attach your name and PID to the
scantron pack. These will be used for the lecture exams.
Lab Attendance:
Due to the amount of material covered, attendance is compulsory. Students who accumulate three
(3) lab absences, excused or unexcused, in this course will be required to take a final cumulative
lab exam (which includes the final material as well as all lab material from previous exams) to be
able to complete the course. Due to the number of students in the individual lab sections,
attendance at your scheduled lab section is necessary and is the only option of lab times students
will have. Exceptions to this policy are rare but may be made on a case by case basis in an
emergency.
Students cannot change their scheduled lab exam dates, or take the exam in other lab sections. If a
student misses a lab exam and has a verifiable reason meriting an excused absence, then that
student will have to take an oral exam with Dr. Samsam in his office as the replacement for the
missed lab exam.
Academic Dishonesty:
The UCF Golden Rule policies for academic dishonesty will be upheld throughout the duration of
this course. Any form of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated! Evidence of academic
3

dishonesty will be submitted to the Dean of Student's Office, with the maximum punishment
recommended. Although you will be collaborating with your lab partner(s) while learning the
information, test taking is an individual effort. Copying of information during tests or quizzes will
be considered collusion or plagiarism. Other examples of cheating are: signing in/out for other
individuals, removing items from the lab that are prohibited for removal, as well as any other
obvious forms of academic dishonesty.
Knowledge of other individuals cheating will also be regarded as academic dishonesty and will be
dealt with as such. Pay close attention to UCF Golden Rule policies and maintain ethical academic
behavior at all times! UCF Policy on disruptive classroom behavior will be followed for all labs. A
grade of zero or an oral make-up exam will be the result of any academic dishonesty depending on
the severity of the case and the decision of action will be left to the discretion of Dr. Samsam.
Points of Interest
Using the writing tip of your pen or pencil to point at the models is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Why? Because this marks up the models, which are NOT cheap, thereby diminishing their
usefulness and value
Food and drinks are normally prohibited in the lab. If you would like to have a bottle of water and
you can be careful NOT to spill it and to clean up when youre done, thats fine. However the first
time that the TA has to clean up after someone then that lab loses those privileges.
Touching the pins or moving the models during the lab exam is strictly prohibited.
Lab practical exam will include multiple choice questions from charts, models or from pictures
in your text book or lecture notes. The questions will be mainly identification, and will be
mainly drawn from any of the terms found in the lab schedule found in this syllabus, however,
some secondary questions will be also asked that are related to material and have been
discussed in the lecture and/ or in the lab.
We are here to help guide you in your learning process but YOU must put the effort in. The
material has already been (or is being) lectured in the anatomy lecture class and we briefly
mention those at the beginning of each block as well. Therefore, attending the lecture is vital to
the lab performance and success. We believe in the motto that you look it up first, go to a fellow
student, and then ask for help. If you can teach it, then you know it.
There are boxes with bones (separated by body region) on reserve in the library. If any bones are
missing they WILL NOT be replaced. There are 4 boxes containing bones in addition to 2 boxes
with an arm muscle model and a leg muscle model. Please ensure your fellow students are honest
when checking out these bones. Library personnel will also be assuring the safe return of any bones
checked out.
Bring your lab manual AND your textbook to the lab, as these are essential for learning the
material. Partner with other students and take turns bringing the books.
Throughout the semester we will offer different websites that we may find that might help in
studying. Please refer to Web courses for these sites.
LAB SCHEDULE:
The Lab for this course is a terminology based class and will be tested as such. The material
covered in this course will consist of a list of terms that are a part of a region or a system within the
body. These are the terms of the anatomical structures you need to know. It will be expected that
students of this course know the location of and recognize each and every one of these listed terms
and spell the terms correctly. Always think of some secondary questions that might be related to

material and has been discussed in the lecture and/ or in the lab. These include the function of the
muscle or structure, its innervation, and its blood supply/ venous drainage.
Here are some tips on how you should conduct yourself in this lab:
Come to the Lab at only your assigned time, ready to learn. The class will start with a
presentation; therefore take notes and absorb the information given, because all material covered in
these presentations will be pertinent to the class and its exams.
During the remainder of the lab, identify, learn, and memorize the terms on this anatomy syllabus
on the charts and models and posters provided in the room, using the textbook, lab manual and atlas
for references. Feel free to ask questions after you have exhausted these resources.
After lab, review and quiz yourself on the terms in the syllabus, which contains all the terms you
will be tested on.
Cover the names on your textbook or lab manual and see if you can name the terms you will be
responsible for.
Realize that this class meets once a week for only three (3) hours per class. That means 15 classes
total with three (3) of them reserved for tests. This class will require some time on your part outside
of class in order to earn the highest grade.
The text reading assignments make it easier to visualize and learn these terms! Therefore you need
to bring both your lab manual AND your textbook to the lab as well as have your lecture notes
beside you in the lab. The Netters atlas or the PAL practice Anatomy Lab software, are being
strongly recommended.

The Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences

Statement on Academic Integrity
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.
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:

The lifelong pursuit of a professional career in biomedical science and its related
disciplines is achieved through ones own hard work.
If you encounter difficulties in your courses of study, cheating is not the solution.
Seek assistance from your instructor, early and often.
If you devote the necessary energy and resources to your study, and you are
prepared for the coursework, you can achieve success.

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.
The following (1-6) are violations of the Rules of Conduct and are prohibited:
1. Unauthorized assistance
Examples:
A student copies another students answers during an exam.

A student uses notes or electronic devices during an exam when they are
not allowed.

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.

Two students work together on an online assignment or exam when they

were instructed to work alone.
2. Communication to another through written, visual, electronic or oral means
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.

16

3. Commercial use of academic material

Examples:

A student takes an extra copy of an exam and sells it to another student.

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.

A student sells class notes to a note-taking service who sells these notes to
other students in the course.
4. Falsifying or misrepresenting your academic work
Examples:
Two students work together and share answers on a homework assignment
where specific instructions to work alone were given.
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.
5.

Plagiarism: Whereby anothers work is used or appropriated without any

indication of the source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that
such work is the students own
Examples:
Text taken verbatim from any source and presented as a students own original
work, including the course book and lab manual, is plagiarism.
Copying and pasting existing text, either through electronic means or otherwise,
and editing the copied text is plagiarism.
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.
Note: Assignments will be evaluated by analytical software to detect plagiarism.

6.

Any student who knowingly assists another to violate the academic behavior
standards listed above is also in violation of the Rules of Conduct
7. Disciplinary Actions:
BSBS will take full disciplinary action against student misconduct.
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.
The students misconduct will be reported to the Office of Student
Conduct, which may result in additional penalties such as suspension or
expulsion from UCF.
