Course Description:

Introduction to the structure and function of the human body with an emphasis on anatomy. Designed for students in the ACC health science programs.

Skills Requirements:

“Reading, writing, and mathematics proficiency as determined by the COMPASS or ASSET test, or by the statewide THEA test, or by providing an official transcript from another college.”

Instructional Methodology:

The course includes both a lecture and a lab. The lecture will include notes, animations, PowerPoint images, and in-class activities. The lab emphasizes detailed dissections of preserved materials, study of human models, and examination of tissues. The majority of the labs are self-directed. The labs provide a hands-on learning environment. Students are expected to bring their textbook and Visual Analogy Guide to Human Anatomy booklet to lab each day.

Common Course Objectives/Student Learning Outcomes:

The ACC Biology Department has specified the content for this course in the departmental common course objectives. The departmental objectives are located at .

An outline and a more specific list of specific learning objectives will be provided for each lecture topic and lab.

You will need to go to Blackboard () to print the handouts BEFORE class. You are responsible for and will be tested on all of these objectives, whether or not the objective is covered in lecture or lab.

Textbooks and Supplies:

Required Books:

1. Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Martini & Bartholomew; Pearson Education, Inc. (ISBN-13: 978-0-321-78665-4 or ISBN-0-321-78665-3) OR older edition. You also can substitute another comparable human anatomy and physiology text, but show me the substitute so that I can verify it is suitable for our class.

2. Visual Analogy Guide to Human Anatomy, 3rd edition, by Paul Krieger, Morton Publishing Co. (or older edition).

Required Materials:

1. Safety glasses/goggles with Z87.1 rating

2. Closed-toe shoes

3. Two notebook binders: 1 ½-inch three-ring binders.

4. Tab dividers. (about 40)

Course Rationale:

Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology prepares students requiring a one-semester anatomy & physiology course and those applying to one of the following ACC Allied Health Science programs:

• DMI–Radiology

• EMS Professions

• Medical Coding

• Medical Laboratory Technology

• Nursing (LVN)

• Occupational Therapy Asst/OTA

• Personal Fitness Trainer (Certificate)

• Surgical Technology (Certificate/AAS)

Student Learning Outcomes:

Course-Level:

Specific skills and competencies expected of students who complete this course include:

• Identify and explain gross and microscopic anatomical structures of all body systems and on an appropriate level (knowledge, comprehension, application and analysis)

• Identify and explain anatomical location, gross structures, and histological structure of tissues and organs of the human body

• Explain basic physiological processes of all body systems and on an appropriate level (knowledge, comprehension, application and analysis)

• Explain the role of body systems and mechanisms in maintaining homeostasis

• Work safely in a lab setting

General Education:

As a Core Curriculum course, students completing this course will demonstrate competence in:

• Working effectively in a group

• Demonstrating higher level critical thinking skills, solving problems, and following directions

• Directing their own learning activities to meet course objectives

Expectations:

• If you want a grade of at least a “C” in the class, spend a MINIMUM of 2 hours outside of class for every hour spent in class. Most students need to spend MUCH MORE time to obtain a grade higher than a C. Short study periods every day are much more effective than one long study session.

• Check Blackboard daily for announcements.

• Be prepared for each lecture. Print the lecture outline/objectives handout for that day BEFORE coming to class.

• Read the textbook after each lecture (though some students prefer to read the textbook before each lecture-choose what works best for you). You should read the sections in the textbook that were covered in lecture and answer the pertinent Review Questions at the end of each chapter as soon as possible AFTER each lecture. I will post specific pages to read and questions to answer for each topic on the "Readings" button on Blackboard.

• Be prepared for each lab. You are expected to print the lab handout BEFORE coming to lab and then highlight the labels for each structure in the images in your textbook and in the drawings in the Visual Analogy Guide to Human Anatomy booklet. I will send you an announcement on Blackboard to remind you of this. Doing this will help you to pace yourself to complete the objectives in the time allotted and help you to better understand the terms and concepts covered in the lab BEFORE coming to lab.

• Attend the Open Labs. You will NOT have enough time during lab to master all of the material. You should also use the Websites and Study Guide materials on Blackboard and your PAL or A&P Revealed CDs (if you bought one) to review for lab in between labs and open labs.

• Actively participate in all class and lab activities, including dissections.

• Come see me if you need help. You can also try a tutor at the Learning Lab (see schedule at or on Blackboard. You can also form a study group (3 people per group is the maximum recommended).

• Clean up and store materials before leaving lab. See specifics above.

Grades:

5 Lecture Exams worth a total of 550 pts.

5 Lab Practical Exams worth a total of 250 pts.

5 Lecture Assignments worth a total of 50 pts.

Lecture Exams:

The Lecture Exam dates are indicated on the Lecture/Lab Schedule which is handed out on the first day of class and posted on Blackboard. The specific topics covered on each exam are handed out on the first day of class and posted on Blackboard.

You will have 5 lecture exams. The first 4 exams are worth 100 pts. The last exam is a comprehensive exam and is worth 150 pts. The exams are designed to assess your understanding of the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology. I will specify during lecture which objectives will be covered on each exam.

The lecture exam usually include: about 20-25 multiple choice questions, about 10 fill-in-the blank questions, about 2-4 sets of matching questions, about 4-10 short answer questions, and 2 essay questions. I will provide Scantrons for the multiple choice portion of the lecture exams.

I will try to grade and return exams to you within one week.

Lab Practical Exams:

The Lab Practical Exam dates are indicated on the Lecture/Lab Schedule which is handed out on the first day of class and posted on Blackboard. The topics covered on each exam are summarized in a document that is handed out on the first day of class and posted on Blackboard.

You will have 5 lab practical exams throughout the semester. Each lab exam is worth 50 pts. The Lab Practical Exams usually consist of about 50-75 fill in the blank type questions that ask you to identify specific structures on models, diagrams, and preserved specimens, You will also have to identify specific tissues, cells, and structures on slides when viewing them through a light microscope. There will not be a word list or multiple choice questions. I will set up the lab practical during the first part of our lab period. You will take the lab practical during the remaining time of the lab period.

I will try to grade and return lab exams to you within one week.

Lecture Assignments:

The Lecture Assignment due dates are indicated on the Lecture/Lab Schedule which is handed out on the first day of class and posted on Blackboard.

You will have 5 Lecture Assignments throughout the semester. Each Lecture Assignment is worth 10 pts. The assignments will be completed online on Blackboard (under the “Lecture Assignments” button). Once you submit the assignment you will receive immediate feedback and your grade.

Late Work: Assignments submitted after the deadline will be considered late. If you submit work after the due date, the total grade will be reduced by one point for each day late.

Lab Assignments:

The Lab Assignment due dates are indicated on the Lecture/Lab Schedule which is handed out on the first day of class and posted on Blackboard.

You will have 5 Lab Assignments throughout the semester. Each Lab Assignment is worth 5 pts. The Lab Assignments will be completed online on Blackboard (under the “Lab Assignments” button. Once you submit the assignment you will receive immediate feedback and your grade.

Late Work: Assignments submitted after the deadline will be considered late. If you submit work after the due date, the total grade will be reduced by one point for each day late.

Makeup Exams:

You must contact me as soon as possible if you must miss a lecture exam and provide appropriate verification for your absence. Only one makeup lecture exam will be given to any student during the semester. Please note carefully: All makeup exams will taken immediately after you take the FINAL lecture exam. There are NO makeup lab practical exams. If you miss a lab practical exam, your grade on it will be a zero.

Retests:

There are no retest exams. Once you take an exam, you may not take it again to try for a better grade.

Spelling:

I will deduct 0.3 pt for each misspelled word on each lab practical exam. You will have the opportunity to get the points back after the lab practical exam is returned to you.

Curves and Extra Credit:

There will be NO curve on any of the exams, etc. during the semester. There will be NO curve on any of the final course grades. I will occasionally offer opportunities for extra credit points to the entire class. You will NOT be allowed to do any other extra credit assignments separate from these.

Attendance:

Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students. If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.

You are responsible for attending all lectures and lab. Most students do better on the exams if they attend regularly. You are responsible for all materials, activities, assignments, or announcements covered in class, regardless of your reason for being absent. If you do miss a class, it is your responsibility to get lecture notes from someone in the class and to get handouts and assignments from me/Blackboard. Lecture and lab attendance will be informally monitored. If your percent grade is within 0.5 percentage points of a letter grade, your final letter grade will be determined by your attendance AND participation in lecture and lab.

Lab Cleanup:

Please clean up and store all materials before leaving the lab. For each lab period that you do not clean up before leaving lab, you will lose 3 points from your final total points. This is what I expect:

1. Put away all slides, microscopes, models, books, charts, and specimens.

2. Put the models back together before putting them away.

3. Use the spray provided in lab to clean your lab table (even if we did not dissect) and clean all counters used during lab.

4. When putting away microscopes:

a. Put the lowest power objective in place FIRST and then lower the nosepiece.

b. Remove the microscope slide.

c. Turn off the microscope before unplugging the cord.

d. Use the Velcro strap to wrap the electrical cord. Do NOT stuff the cord above the stage.

e. Return the microscope to the proper location in the cabinet.

5. Discard dissected tissues and preservative fluid in the designated containers, not in the sink or regular trashcan.

6. Wash, dry, and put away dissecting instruments.

7. Wash plastic dissecting trays and leave to dry on the drying rack.

8. Wash wax dissecting pans and dry and put them away.

9. Wash the sinks.

10. Wash your hands before leaving lab.

E-mail Subject Lines:

The best way to contact me outside of class is by e-mail. However, many days I receive more than 50 e-mails. Thus, when sending me an e-mail, please be sure to have a specific subject line and don’t forget to include your name and the course (Biol 2404).

Use of ACC E-mail:

“All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACCmail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you of any college related emergencies using this account. Students should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account. Likewise, students should use their ACCmail account when communicating with instructors and staff. Information about ACCmail, including instructions on setting up an account, can be found at “

Testing Center Policy

Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination in a testing center. Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam. To request an exam, one must have:

• ACC Photo ID

• Course Abbreviation (e.g., ENGL)

• Course Number (e.g.,1301)

• Course Synonym (e.g., 10123)

• Course Section (e.g., 005)

• Instructor's Name

Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center. Having your cell phone in the testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing privileges for the remainder of the semester. ACC Testing Center policies can be found at “

Withdrawal Policy:

“It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he or she decide to withdraw from the class. The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary. If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date. The student is also strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records.

Students who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall, 2002, may be charged a higher tuition rate, for that course.

State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count towards this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog.”

The student is responsible for monitoring their progress in the course and determining if they need to withdraw. I can help the student make that decision, but the final decision is the student’s decision.

You can withdraw by filling out the appropriate form and submitting it to the ACC Admissions and Records office on any campus before the stated deadline. You do not need my signature on this form.

The last day to “Drop” the class (and avoid receiving a “W” on your transcript) is Wed., September 10, 2014.

The last day to withdraw for the semester is Thurs., November 20, 2014.

Withdrawal courses appear on the student's record with a grade of W. If you stop attending class and do not withdraw yourself from the course, you will end up with a grade of F for the semester.

In order to be reinstated in the class after having been withdrawn, the student must have been enrolled in the course on the state reporting date, as demonstrated by the twelfth-day class roll, must have been withdrawn from the course in error, must show evidence of being capable of passing the course within the time remaining in the semester, and the instructor must have documentation that the student is eligible to be reinstated in the course.

Students are responsible for understanding the impact withdrawing from a course may have on their financial aid, veteran’s benefits, international student status, and academic standing. Students are urged to consult with their instructor or an advisor or counselor before making schedule changes.

Per state law, students enrolling for the first time in Fall 2007 or later at any Texas college or university may not withdraw (receive a W) from more than six courses during their undergraduate college career. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to withdraw from a course without having it count toward this limit. Students are encouraged to carefully select courses and contact an advisor or counselor for assistance.

Rule of Three:

Students are charged a higher tuition rate for courses they repeat for the third or more time. This is generally referred to as the “Rule of Three”. Information about this rule is located at: and

Six Drop Rule:

Texas Education Code Section 51.907 mandates that all students who enroll as first time freshmen at a Texas public institution of higher education in Fall 2007 or later may not drop more than six courses during their academic career. Information about this rule is located at: and

Incomplete Grades:

“An instructor may award a grade of “I” (Incomplete) if a student was unable to complete all of the objectives for the passing grade in a course. An incomplete grade cannot be carried beyond the established date in the following semester. The completion date is determined by the instructor but may not be later than the final deadline for withdrawal in the subsequent semester.”

Incomplete grades are rarely given in this class and will be given entirely at my discretion. A grade of incomplete (I) will be assigned only if:

• You have a valid reason and I agree to give you an incomplete grade.

• You request a grade of I in writing, with written documentation.

• You have completed at least 60% of the course work.

• You have at least a C (70%) average on completed work.

• The reason for your request has occurred after the official drop deadline for the course.

• You provide all documentation and sign the required form prior to the last day of class.

Be aware that incompletes that are not finished convert to F grades automatically, regardless of your grade average when you request the incomplete.

Scholastic Dishonesty:

“A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution. Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations. Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, and falsifying documents. Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the college. See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies at

To avoid any problems that may arise from misunderstandings, you should follow these procedures during lecture exams and lab practical exams:

• Turn off and store all cell phones.

• Store all personal belongings under your desk.

• Close all books and notebooks and make sure there are no loose papers visible.

• Keep your eyes on your own papers.

• Remove your hat while taking the exam.

• Do not talk during exams and practicals.

• If you expect to need tissues or medications, get them out before the exam and leave them on your desk.

• Keep your exam answer sheet covered so it is not visible to other students.

• Do not leave the room until you have finished the exam.

Cell Phones and Pagers:

Please turn off cell phones and pagers during class as a courtesy to me and other students.

Student and Instructional Services:

“ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety of opportunities and services. Information on these services and support systems is available at:

Links to many student services and other information can be found at:

ACC Learning Labs provide free tutoring services to all ACC students currently enrolled in the course to be tutored. The tutor schedule for each Learning Lab may be found at:

For help setting up your ACCeID, ACC Gmail, or ACC Blackboard, see a Learning Lab Technician at any ACC Learning Lab.

Specific Support Services for This Class:

The lab room is available for student use during certain hours of the week, including the weekend ("Open Lab"). The lab rooms at other campuses are also open during the week and on weekends. Usually an instructor is available to tutor students in the Open Labs. I will post the Open Lab hours on Blackboard as soon as they are determined.

In addition, the Riverside Campus has an extra room (The RVS Study Lab) that contains microscopes, slides, models and other lab-related study items. Computers and software are available for student use, including several excellent CD ROMs. Students can also view videos in the study lab. The person who staffs the study lab is not a tutor, so don’t count on her or him to help you with course objectives.

Finally an anatomy & physiology tutor is available in the Learning Lab at this campus and others. For Learning Lab hours and more information about tutoring services, go to . I will also post the Learning Lab hours on Blackboard as soon as they are determined.

Bad Weather:

If classes are cancelled because of bad weather, ACC notifies instructors and students on the ACC homepage () and on local radio and television stations. I find it easiest and fastest to look at the ACC homepage.

Blackboard:

I will post all grades, lecture outlines & objectives, lab handouts, and assignments on Blackboard (). Please check this site on a daily basis for announcements and all needed materials. You can also use Blackboard to communicate with your fellow classmates (use the Discussion Board button), find Websites with animations and practice questions, find audio recordings of the words you need to practice spelling and pronouncing in lab, and to print practice diagrams.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

“Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Opportunity for students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student. As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures.”

Students with Disabilities:

“Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the office Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may be delayed.  

Students who have received approval for accommodations from SAS for this course must provide the instructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from SAS before accommodations will be provided. Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from the student.

Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.

Additional information about Student Accessibility Services is available at

“

Academic Freedom:

"Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good. The common good depends upon a search for truth and upon free expression. In this course the professor and students shall strive to protect free inquiry and the open exchange of facts, ideas, and opinions. Students are free to take exception to views offered in this course and to reserve judgment about debatable issues. Grades will not be affected by personal views. With this freedom comes the responsibility of civility and a respect for a diversity of ideas and opinions. This means that students must take turns speaking, listen to others speak without interruption, and refrain from name-calling or other personal attacks."

Official Biology Department Policy Concerning Student Use of Organisms in the Classroom and Laboratory:

Most ACC biology classes, particularly those with laboratory components, use actual organisms during instruction in addition to images and models. ACC students generally are preparing for real-world careers requiring workers with hands-on experience. These careers include health care, veterinary work, horticultural and agricultural work. Other students plan to transfer to four-year colleges and will be participating in biological research where hands-on experience is equally important.

Organisms used at ACC are fundamental in biology instruction and they are utilized to teach specific skills and knowledge. Their condition and usage varies from course to course. Students will be expected to actively participate in these activities. Students with particular concerns in this matter should consult with their instructor and/or departmental officials before enrolling in a laboratory course so that they can know what will be required of them.

Some organisms are observed alive while others are dead and preserved in various ways. Student manipulation of organisms ranges from culturing living organisms to dissecting preserved ones. Some examples include, but are not limited to: bacterial culturing for microbiology courses; cat, pig or rat dissection for anatomy courses; skeleton and pelt examination for field biology; and use of frogs in physiology experiments.

Student Injury Insurance:

Students enrolled in lab and field courses are covered by student insurance if they are injured as a result of the lab or field activity. If you are injured, I will give you a student insurance form to take with you to the medical facility where you will be treated. There is $25 deductible.

Testing Center Policy

“Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination in a testing center. Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam. To request an exam, one must have:

• ACC Photo ID

• Course Abbreviation (e.g., ENGL)

• Course Number (e.g.,1301)

• Course Synonym (e.g., 10123)

• Course Section (e.g., 005)

• Instructor's Name

Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center. Having your cell phone in the testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing privileges for the remainder of the semester. ACC Testing Center policies can be found at “

Student Discipline:

Classroom behavior should support and enhance learning. Behavior that disrupts the learning process will be dealt with appropriately, which may include having the student leave class for the rest of that day. In serious cases, disruptive behavior may lead to a student being withdrawn from the class. ACC's policy on student discipline can be found in the Student Handbook at   (pages 30-35).

ACC Policy Concerning Copyrighted Materials:

All class materials provided on the instructor's web page, Blackboard, CD, and/or in printed form (labs, objectives, assignments, etc.) are copyrighted and may not be reproduced without the written consent of the copyright holder (this may be the instructor, ACC, or a publisher). Reproduction consists of photocopying, scanning and copying files, or posting on a server or web site. Students currently registered for this section have permission to print one copy of course materials for their own personal use. No permission is given for posting any course materials on web sites.
