    The key takeaways are that the course covers physiology topics related to neuroscience, gastrointestinal physiology, and renal physiology. There will be four exams throughout the semester and a comprehensive final exam. Students will be graded based on their performance on these exams.

    The course will cover topics in systems neuroscience, cellular neuroscience, gastrointestinal physiology, and renal physiology over 4 sections. The neuroscience sections will cover topics like vision, audition, motor control, and more. The gastrointestinal section will cover topics like motility, secretion, digestion and more. The renal section will cover topics like glomerular filtration, tubular transport, regulation of electrolytes and acid-base balance.

    Students will be graded based on their performance on 4 hourly exams and a comprehensive final exam. Each exam is worth between 25-50 points depending on the exam. Letter grades are assigned based on total points. There is also an opportunity to earn extra credit points for participating in classroom questions using the Top Hat Monocle system.

    EXTRA CREDIT FOR CLASS PARTICIPATION, “TOP HAT MONOCLE


    SYSTEM”

    We will be offering extra credit for class participation (3 points/participating


    instructor) using the “Top Hat Monocle” system.The number and timing of in-
    class questions is up to each instructor. This system will enable you to use web-
    enabled devices to answer questions in class. Instructions for acquiring access
    to this system are in an announcement on the UBLearns course WEB site.

    EXAM POLICIES

    1. BE ON TIME. For the hourly exams, no one will be allowed to start the exam
    after 11:20.
    For the final, no one will be allowed to start the exam after 12:30PM.

    2. Missed Exams.
    THERE ARE NO MAKEUP EXAMS.
    Students may be excused from an hourly exam in the event of a major conflict
    e.g. an out- of-town interview for professional school. Please inform the course
    coordinator as soon as you know of a conflict.
    If there is a last-minute emergency before an exam (e.g. illness requiring
    hospitalization) tell the coordinator as soon as possible and supply
    documentation.
    STUDENTS WHO DO NOT TAKE AN EXAM AND ARE NOT EXCUSED WILL
    GET A ZERO.

    3. POINTS FOR EXCUSED EXAMS.


    If a student is excused from an exam, the points for that exam will be calculated
    from the % performance on the relevant questions of the final examination.
    If you miss the final exam you will receive an incomplete (I/F) for the course only
    if the average on the four hourly exams is equivalent to a passing grade.

    4. GRADING
    All questions are multiple-choice and are worth 1 point each.
    Exams are machine scored.
    Challenges to questions will NOT be accepted. We use a statistical analysis of
    answers to decide if any questions should be discarded.
    If a question is discarded, everyone gets credit for that question.
    Exam answers and scores will be posted on the UBLearns site ASAP.
    If you feel there is an error in your grade, you must contact Dr. Baizer
    (baizer@buffalo.edu) within ONE WEEK (7 days) after grades are posted!

    5. TO MINIMIZE CHEATING:
    Keep your answer sheet covered.
    Please inform one of the instructors if you suspect someone is cheating. Your
    comments will be kept confidential.
    University policy states that a person giving answers is as guilty of cheating as
    the person receiving answers.
    The ultimate penalty for cheating is dismissal from the University.
    No cell phones or other electronic devices allowed during exams.
