COURSE INFORMATION:

Course Description:

This course is a study of general and specific human structural anatomy and physiology including the requisite principles of chemistry that influence homeostasis. The systems approach is used, incorporating structure and function from the cell to the entire body. Each system is presented in sufficient depth to provide comprehensive understanding of systems for students in the life and health sciences. This course is a university-transfer course, which is reflected in the depth of material and our expectations of students.

Course Goals & Objectives:

Students will demonstrate knowledge of anatomical and medical terminology and engage in direct application to professional health careers and their own health and wellness.

Learn, understand and appreciate human anatomy and physiology, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular & nervous systems, special senses

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Define, and apply basic anatomical terminology.

• Explain basic General/Organic Chemistry concepts as they apply to Anatomy and Physiology I.

• Explain concepts of basic cellular and molecular processes as they relate to physiology.

• Characterize histology as it relates to structure and function of the tissues that make up each organ.

• Describe the anatomical organization and physiological mechanisms involved in homeostasis of the following organ systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, & nervous systems, including special senses.  

• Correlate these concepts to the clinical setting through critical thinking questions.

Mastery will be measured by the student’s average on the quizzes, exams and cumulative final.

PREREQUISITES (COURSE AND SKILL SET):

Recommended: High school or college level biology or chemistry class within 5 years

Prerequisites: ENC 0020 & REA 0002 and MAT 1033 with a grade of “C” or better; or EAP 1695 and MAT 1033 with a grade of “C” or better

Co-requisite: BSC 2085.

Please note:

• Students who withdraw from lecture or lab will be withdrawn from the appropriate co-requisite course.

• If you have not had a biology course recently, or have not had a strong biology course in the recent past, I strongly urge you to consider taking our Introduction to Biology (BSC 1005) course before attempting this course.

STUFF THAT REALLY MATTERS:

 

Academic Integrity: The college has an official policy on academic honesty and proper classroom behavior. If there are any questions, please refer to the brochure, "Academic Honesty and Student Behavior: Expectations of Students at SPC." I take this subject very seriously and will not tolerate academic dishonesty or inappropriate/disruptive behavior in the classroom. College policy states that a first offense (cheating, plagiarism, etc) is given a “zero” for the assignment with no possibility of replacing the score. In addition, on the first offense, a form is filed in the Assistant Provost’s office. This does not go onto the student’s transcript, but, should a second offense occur, the student is then subject to expulsion from school. You need to be very clear about this procedure and about what constitutes cheating and/or plagiarism.

 

Tips for Success: The average amount of time spent on this subject is 4:1. For every one hour of class, you will likely need to spend four outside the classroom. I find this to be the minimum for most students. Attend class regularly. Take complete notes during class (not just what I write on the board, but everything; recorders are a good idea for most students). Rewrite your notes as soon after class as possible so you can add things you remember but did not include. Read the chapters before class and again after the material has been presented. Make outlines and/or flow diagrams to show the interrelationships between concepts. Form a study group with other students and meet regularly. DO NOT JUST MEMORIZE DEFINITIONS – UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS. Ask questions during class and/or office hours for clarity.

There is tutoring help at the Learning Support Commons at the Library. (Science & A&P Lab

Library Room FA 154 727.712.7031) Avail yourself of this wonderful place that has models and tutoring help. Check it out by going to:

The NIP program at the Health Education Center offers free tutoring and weekly reviews (lecture and lab) for all students entering the health related fields. They have test banks so you can practice taking exams. Their phone number is 341-3724. Please come see me, call me, or e-mail me with any questions you may have.

 

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION:

The college-wide active participation policy is included in the Syllabus Addendum . The policy notes that each instructor is to exercise professional judgment and define “active participation” in class (and therefore “attendance”), and publish that definition in each syllabus. For this class, attendance is defined as completion of 70% of the offered tests and quizzes. Failure to complete 70% of the offered tests and quizzes will result in you receiving a WF for the class. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the instructor if the circumstances warrant.

Successful completion of this course requires regular class attendance. If you miss class, you should check with classmates or contact me via MyCourses to determine if announcements or assignments were made. This class involves a large amount of “participative” learning that cannot be made up. If you decide to no longer attend class or must withdraw for any reason, you are responsible for withdrawing before the withdrawal deadline. I cannot withdraw you.

GRADING:

Grades are based on 3 lab practicals (200 points = 20% each) exams, a cumulative final practical (200 points = 20%), and weekly quizzes/homework (200 points = 20%).

If you arrive after the start of class, you will not be given extra time to complete the quiz or exam.

Quizzes are 10 questions, true/false, multiple choice, and/or short answer. I will only count the best 5 quiz grades. If you miss a quiz, it counts as a zero. Quizzes are given in the first 10 minutes of class.

Exams have 50 questions and are a combination of multiple choice and short answer. You will need a scantron (with 1-50 on side one and 51-100 on side two) for each exam (a total of 5 for the course) Be sure you have a good pencil with a good eraser for the exams. You are allowed/encouraged to write on your exams as you think. I will collect both scantrons and exams when you complete the exam.

I do not return the exam question sheets, but strongly encourage you to schedule time with me to review your exams so as to learn from any mistakes.

There are NO makeup exams or quizzes. The lowest exam score (of exams 1, 2, or 3) may be replaced by the score on the cumulative final, if the final exam score is higher; a missed exam will count as the lowest score. More than one missed exam will be assigned a grade of zero. Extra credit will be limited to exams and quizzes. No additional projects will be considered. Overall final grades will be assigned according to the following scale:

GRADE PERCENTAGE

A 90-100

B 80-89

C 70-79

D 60-69

F ................
