McKenna, Mary. Biological Science 15: Survey of Human Anatomy and Physiology Gavilan College
Survey of Human Anatomy and Physiology (Bio 15) will study the structure and function of the human body. The course consists of on online lecture which you are required to visit at minimum twice a week (follow schedule lectures listed below) you are also to attend a weekly three hour lab.
This Anatomy and Physiology Hybrid course is fast paced and requires that you have access to a computer (preferably DSL) able to run PowerPoint slide show and some computer skills. Also knowledge of general biology, chemistry and math is recommended to succeed in the course. Flashcards, good note taking skills, and group learning are also essential for success in this course.
This course is required for admission to the LVN program at Gavilan and other community college nursing programs and is CSU, UC transferable. It is also required for the P.E. degree at Gavilan and can be used to help fulfill the GE requirement for science.
COURSE ORGANIZATION:
Material will be presented primarily in the form of online lectures, readings assignments from text/supplement, and ‘active’ group learning assignments which may include interactive case studies. You will be required to download all lecture material and assignments, so it is essential that you have a computer with internet access to succeed in the course.
Lecture will cover the points to be learned and will direct your study from the text; however any material presented in class (lab) may be included in the lecture exam, thus, you are required to attend all class online lecture and labs and also take excellent notes to do well in the course.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. Develop a detailed understanding of the anatomical and physiological aspects of the human body.
2. Develop an understanding of the physiological interactions and compensatory mechanisms used by the body’s organ system in maintaining homeostasis.
3. Develop critical thinking skills through the use of the scientific method.
4. Prepare students choosing careers in allied health professions such as nutrition, psychology, sports medicine, and holistic health.
5. Where time permits study various pathologies, and methods by which physicians make specific diagnosis. Some basic pharmacology may be included as well as interactive case studies.
LECTURE: 64% of Course Grade

The final exam (Exam #4) is mandatory and will not be drop as the lowest exam score! The comprehensive final contains 100 multiple-choice questions (worth 100 points) and will be given the last week of class. The comprehensive final contains fifty multiple-choice questions from topics presented the eleventh week and on and fifty multiple-choice questions will be selected from the previous lecture exam topics.
QUIZZES: 100 points
Each quiz is worth 5 to 10 points and will be given throughout the course. Each quiz consists of multiple choice type questions and covers the most recent lecture topic and/or assignments. No make-ups will be given; if you forget to turn in a quiz and turn a quiz in late for any reason, you will be docked half a grade automatically- no exceptions!
LECTURE ASSIGNMENTS: 96 points
Study outline “fill-in” assignments will be given throughout the quarter and are 6 points each. Assignments are to be turned in the day of the upcoming exam and late assignments will not be accepted!
LABORATORY: 36% of Course Grade
COURSE LAB ASSIGNMENTS: 160 points
Each lab assignment taken from the Hole’s Lab manual is worth 4-6 points each and will be turned in at the end of each lab period. There are absolutely no make-ups for missed lab assignments!
Laboratory Practicum: 100 points
Laboratory exams will be given during the 8th and the 16th week each worth 50 points. Items on the lab practicum will include, but not limited to lab assignments, handouts and lab discussion. The lab exam will consist of 50 multiple choice questions and may be in the form of identification, fill in, function type questions.
ATTENDANCE: 25 points
At the end of the session, your attendance will be reviewed. Perfect attendance and punctuality means that you keep the 25 points for class participation. Five points will be deducted for each absence and two points for each tardy. If your 25 points are taken up for absences and/or tardiness you are subject to be dropped from the course. As per college policy, students missing one more class value than the unit value of the course may be dropped. If you foresee missing more than one or two days of class, please inform me. Please make arrangements with your schedule to be present and on time for all labs/lectures.
-As per college policy, students missing one more class hour than the unit value of the course may be dropped.

GRADING CRITERIA:
Your grade will be determined based upon the total points earned on assignments, quizzes, and examinations (781 Tentative Total Possible points for the semester).
Grades:
The Percent breakdown for determining your grade is as follows:
12.8% Final Exam
25.6% Mid-Term Exams
12.8% Lecture Quizzes
12.3% Lecture Assignments
33.3% Laboratory Assignments/Lab Practicum
3.2% Attendance
Your grade will be determined by the percentage you earn of the total possible points available
