Group work is encouraged in preparation for these sessions, particulary among the four members of each dissecting table. There will be a total of 10 sessions, each of which is worth 10 points, for a total point value of 100. Points will be awarded based upon attendance, participation, and demonstrated understanding of the material. Students who receive an F grade will be required to remediate this grade by repeating the entire course. Professional Behavior Upon acceptance into the College of Medicine, each student formally enters the Profession of Medicine and is entrusted with the health and well being of humanity and the lives of patients.
Professional behavior begins on the first day of class.
It embodies a code of conduct based upon integrity, honor and dignity. Examples of inappropriate conduct include but at not limited to, academic dishonesty, disruptive behavior in class, and insensitive approaches to classmates, faculty, staff or other health professionals. Such behavior will be referred to the judicial process and may result in dismissal from the College of Medicine. Excused Absences The Department of Cell and Developmental Biology follows the Holiday Policy recently adopted by the Educational Policies Committee. This policy is stated in its entirety in the Student Handbook.
