Your presence here should indicate that you are ready for an in-depth treatment of the human systems, which requires high motivation and hard work. This course is an honors course, which means that we will seek a higher level of performance. A strong commitment on your part is a critical factor of your success.HAP takes into consideration students of varied interests from specialized goals of medicine to nursing, to general goals in any of the hundreds of health related professions. The materials and equipment we have for the class are of the highest quality, and I look forward to the challenge of helping you to understand the incredible complexities of the human body. The online material, models, visuals, coloring book, text, microscope slides and class activities all combine to offer motivated students an incredible learning experience.The degree of success you achieve in this class is directly proportional to the amount of time and energy you invest on a weekly basis. The following information will help you understand the course and get started: Reading This is a key component to success in this course. Outside reading is imperative for a full understanding of this material. You must not rely on class lectures alone to get everything you need. Plan to read and review each night, and do not fall behind. Homework There is homework every night in Anatomy, and students should be prepared to spend time daily studying for this class. Students will be informed when all written assignments are due and will be graded. It is a rare occasion when a written assignment is due the next day. Late homework will not be accepted.Mandatory-quiz Coloring Books You will be assigned selected color plates to complete for each unit. These plates are a helpful tool as they allow you to work through visual aspects of the course. Note: You will need to purchase the coloring book for this course and it will be an excellent resource for future reference. The color plates WILL be graded and can be counted as a quiz. They are an excellent study tool. They will be collected two times a marking period, at interims and at the end of each marking period.tests and Quizzes Tests will be announced approximately one week head. Students should expect on average 4 tests each marking period. Chapter tests will be given in each marking period. These tests will be a combination of true/false, completion, multiple choice, diagrams, and essay questions. The value of each test is largely determined by the content of that chapter. In addition to traditional tests, ID. exams will also be given within each marking period. A student must make every effort to be present on the day of an ID. exam. Quizzes will usually be announced, but not always. Some pop quizzes may be administered without any notice. Students should come to class prepared for a quiz every day.It is the student’s responsibility to make up any missing tests or quizzes. Any quiz or test not made up a week from when it was proctored will result in a grade of zero unless prior arrangements have been made.lab work/DissectionsLab work is an integral and critical part of this course. Dissection for this class include: rat, cat, sheep’s heart, brain and eye. Failure to come prepared for a lab or not working on the lab while in class will result in the grade of a zero for that lab. Although the majority of the labs are completed with partners, all students must individually complete all written work unless otherwise informed. Lab work missed due to absences must be made up within a week from when it was conducted. Failure to do so will result in the grade of zero. review PLANNER when reviewing for unit tests, take a proactive approach! Do not wait until the day before a test! It takes time to process all of the information in different ways. Virtual quizzes, flash cards, coloring, labs, labeling exercises, concept maps and outlining are some of the excellent study tools to help you master the content. Afterschool clinic is always available as a an additional tool to aid in your success. Paper, Presentation, Patient & Activity -150 ptsEach student must complete a major research project and presentation on a clinical aspect of Anatomy and Physiology. This project is worth 150 points and is weighted as a test. Requirements include:Students will select their own topic from the list provided below. Ideally, the project will be completed and presented during the applicable chapter of study in class. For example, if you choose osteoarthritis you will present during the skeletal system. If you would like to complete your project on a different topic from the list, then you must check with me first. The written and oral presentation must include:Causes of the diseaseDiagnosis of the diseaseParts of the body affectedHow the body parts and activities of daily living (eating, dressing, going food shopping, working, focus, etc.) are affectedPrevalence of the disease (how common it is)Population most affected by the disease and why, if statedTreatments of the disease and their effectiveness (specifics such as exercise, inpatient/outpatient therapy services, medicines, and medical follow-up)Future research and treatmentHighlights from your patient interviewPersonal reactions to your patient interview (i.e. new insights, feelings, understandings, and realizations of the disease due to the personal contact) along with brief history of your patient including age, date diagnosed impact on patient and family, etc. This must be at least 1 full page. Appendix of prepared patient interview questions (one local support groups’ contact information, at least one related organization’s website and some pertinent information that is provided on the site might benefit patients).The report must total 8 pages. Pages 1-5 focuses on the research (a-h). Page 6 contains highlights from the patient’s interview (i). Page 7 is your personal reactions to the patient interview (j). . Page 8 is an appendix of the prepared patient interview questions and at least one local support group’s contact information or a related organization’s website that contains pertinent information that might benefit patientsThe report must follow standard essay writing procedures with a sound introductory paragraph as well as a closing summary paragraph that ties together your personal reflections and concluding information. Use 12 point font and double-spaced paragraphs.The report must include a bibliography/works sited sheet with a minimum of 5 sources. Sources must have 2010 or later copyright date. A PowerPoint presentation, prezi or other multi media mode of presentation must accompany your oral presentation . All terms used in the report and presentation must be correctly pronounced and defined (use a term only if you know what it means), Include relevant pictures, diagrams, charts, etc. to enhance your presentation. You must cover all information specified for the paper.During your presentation, you must include a class activity to foster class involvement with your topic. Be creative! For example, if you are researching AIDS, there are activities to demonstrate how quickly and easily this disease can spread and infect people using test tubes. Consider creating and posting a video or finding a useful clip or an online simulation to help bring understanding, empathy and insight into your researched disease. If you chose an already created simulation from online you still need to enhance it to show your piece of creativity. Patient Interview Questions (personal aspect, put the facts with the feelings):360680047625* This is the most important part of the presentation! You must show clips of the patient and have them embedded in your presentation.00* This is the most important part of the presentation!
