CREDIT HOURS: 3.0 CONTACT HOURS: 3.0
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is a general
introduction to the Anatomy and Physiology of the human body. Emphasis is
placed on the organ systems, which comprise the human body and their
interrelationships.
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The
purpose of this general education core course is to enable the student to gain
an appreciation and working knowledge of basic biological principles. In
order to develop skills to demonstrate scientific principles and the
application of these principles, students will be able to analyze and state the
relationship between structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs for
each system studied, and describe how these systems function together to allow
human organisms to function as an integrated unit.
REQUIRED TEXT:
Understanding Human
Anatomy and Physiology, Sylvia Mader, 5th. 2001.
OPTIONAL MATERIAL:
Lecture
notes or other material designated by instructor other than required text
listed on this course syllabus are considered optional.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Students will be allowed
to miss twice the number of times a lecture or laboratory section meets per
week.
If the lecture meets 3
times per week, 6 absences are allowed.
If the lecture meets 2
times per week, 4 absences are allowed.
If
the student misses more than 10 minutes of class by either arriving late or
leaving early, then the student will be counted as absent, missing fewer than
10 minutes is a tardy. Three tardies count as one absence.
Students
adding courses after classes begin are responsible for work covered from the
first day of classes. All classes missed are counted as absences.
When
a student exceeds the maximum allowable absences, a grade of “W” will be
assigned if the student is passing the course or “WF” if the student is failing
after midterm. A “WF” is calculated into the grade point average as an
“F.”
ASSIGNMENTS AND MISSED
TESTS:
Students who are absent
from a class are responsible for all of the work that was done during that
class period and for all assignments made during the missed class period.
One
(1) missed lecture exam may be made up if a legitimate excuse is presented to
your lecture instructor. A list of times during which makeup exams for
all science courses are given will be posted on bulletin boards in the science
classes and labs.
ACADEMIC GRADING SCALE: 5 Lecture Exams
The final grade for this
course will be determined as follows:
A
(90-100) B
(80-89)
C (70-79)
D
(60-69)
F (<60)
5 Lecture Exams will
comprise 90-100% of the final grade; homework and pop quizzes may be used for
up to 10% of the grade at the discretion of the instructor.
A grade of zero will be
recorded for any announced exam (or assignment) which is missed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Learning Objectives are on
reserve in the Library on both campuses or available on disks from
your instructor.
STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES:
If
special accommodations are needed for students with disabilities, the student
should contact the Counseling Services Office for assistance.
Documentation regarding a specific disability is required for special
accommodation arrangements. Confidentiality of the information received
will be maintained.
The
Science Department Chair, Coordinators, and faculty are here to help you.
If you are having any problems in your classes, please contact the person who
can help you. If we don’t know you are having problems, we can’t help
you. Perry Carter is the Department Chair and can be located at 822-3443;
Bert Knesel is Beltline Coordinator and can be reached at 738-7660.
CHANGES:
The
instructor reserves the right to make changes in the lecture and laboratory
schedule as deemed necessary.
