Midlands Technical College
COURSE: BASIC ANATOMY AND
PHYSIOLOGY COURSE
NUMBER: BIO 112
CREDIT HOURS: 4
LECTURE: 3 LAB: 1
CONTACT HOURS: 6
LECTURE: 3 LAB: 3
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.

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.
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.
