COURSE DESCRIPTION:

 

This course is an integrated study of the structure and function of the human body.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

 

The objective of this course is to enable the student to develop an integrated concept of the structure and function of the human body.

 

REQUIRED TEXT:

 

Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 9th. ed., Shier,Bulter,Lewin, McGraw Hill

Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab Manual, 9th ed., Shier, McGraw Hill

Hole Essentials Human Anat. & Physiology Study Gd., 9th, McGraw Hill

 

OPTIONAL MATERIAL:

 

Photo Atlas for Anatomy and Physiology, Vandegraaff, 5th edition, Morton

 

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 laboratory meets once a week, 2 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. The Assessment Center will administer the missed exam or your lecture instructor may opt to count your final exam grade in place of the missed test.  Missed laboratory work cannot be made up.  This includes quizzes.

 

ACADEMIC GRADING SCALE:

 

Lecture/Lab Courses:

 

Lecture Grade: 75%                              Laboratory Grade:   25%

 

GRADING SYSTEM:

 

            FOR LECTURE:

 

            GRADE FOR LECTURE TEST #1:_____

            GRADE FOR LECTURE TEST #2:_____

            GRADE FOR LECTURE TEST #3:_____

            GRADE FOR LECTURE TEST #4:_____

            GRADE FOR LECTURE TEST #5:_____

            GRADE FOR LECTURE TEST #6:_____

            GRADE FOR FINAL EXAM:__________

 

LECTURE GRADE IS THE 7 GRADES ABOVE ADDED TOGETHER THEN DIVIDED BY 7.

 

            FOR LAB:

 

            GRADE FOR LAB QUIZ #1:_____

            GRADE FOR LAB QUIZ #2:_____

            GRADE FOR LAB QUIZ #3:_____

            GRADE FOR LAB QUIZ #4:_____

            GRADE FOR LAB QUIZ #5:_____

            GRADE FOR LAB QUIZ #6:_____

            LAB GRADE IS THE 6 GRADES ABOVE ADDED TOGETHER THEN DIVIDED BY 6.

 

            FOR OVERALL CLASS:

 

MULTIPLY YOUR LECTURE GRADE BY 3 THEN ADD YOUR LAB GRADE TO IT; DIVIDE THE ENTIRE

SUM BY 4.  THIS IS YOUR FINAL GRADE FOR THE CLASS.

 

A grade of W will be assigned if the student withdraws before midterm or after midterm with a course average of at least 60.  A grade of WF will be assigned if the student withdraws after midterm with a course average less than 60.

 

*The cumulative lecture final is not optional and cannot be dropped or exempted.  It is 1/7 of the lecture average.  In addition to counting as a 7th exam grade, it may replace a missed lecture exam if approved by the instructor.  Follow your lecture instructor’s guidelines regarding missed exams.

 

**A final lab quiz will be offered but is optional.  It will replace a grade of zero for a missed lab quiz or replace the lowest quiz grade if all 6 quizzes were taken.  If the final is the lowest grade it will be dropped.

 

A grade of zero will be recorded for any announced exam (or assignment), which is missed.

 

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 Department Chair and can be reached at 822-3443; Regina Hoffman is Airport Coordinator and can be reached at 822-3416; Bert Knesel is Beltline Coordinator and can be reached at 738-7660.

 

The instructor reserves the right to make changes in the lecture and laboratory schedule as deemed necessary.

 

LABORATORY POLICIES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 

The laboratory experience is designed to supplement and complement material covered in lecture, and is an integral part of the course.  Material may be presented in greater detail in lab than in lecture.  The laboratory experience may include dissections, films, demonstrations, experiments, workbook exercises, research and

writing assignments, and field trips.  The day, time, and location of approved field trips will be held during regularly scheduled lab times.  Students will provide their own transportation.  The laboratory instructors will give a sufficient amount of information and guidance to allow students to complete each lab, but success in lab

primarily involves the individual effort of each student.  To maximize learning and to minimize the risk of accidents or injury, the following policies and rules will be observed in science labs:

 

1.         Laboratory exercises must be completed during the assigned lab period unless otherwise designated by your instructor.

2.         Students should read laboratory exercises before coming to class.

3.         Do not disturb any equipment or demonstrations that have been set up, until your instructor has told you how to proceed with the assignment.

4.         Apply yourself in lab.  The exercises are designed to reinforce and expand upon material presented in the lecture. 

5.         Follow directions carefully.

6.         Do not hesitate to ask your lab instructor for clarification of any instructions you do not understand. However, do not expect your lab instructor to simply give you answers to information you should be obtaining through the completion of the various lab exercises.

7.         Bring all necessary materials to lab, including your text.

8.         Do not bring any food or drinks into any science lab.

9          Know where the eyewash station and showers are located in each lab.  Report injuries immediately to your lab instructor. 

10.      Lab coats and protective eye ware are required in certain labs including microbiology and chemistry.

11.       At the end of each lab, leave your work space in good order by discarding waste materials, cleaning and disinfecting your lab table, returning all materials used to their proper place, and sliding your chair back under the table.

12.        NO children or visitors are allowed in lab or lecture.

13.        Protective eyewear must be worn for all dissections.
