Course Objectives
This course provides opportunities and
experiences for you to become very knowledgeable about several systems in the
human body and to be able to apply that knowledge. By the end of this course, you should be able to:
1. Show knowledge of basic Cell Biology and
Chemistry related to anatomy and physiology.
2. Show a thorough knowledge of the anatomy
(i.e., structure) of the systems to be examined (actually mostly in lab).
3. Show knowledge of the histology (i.e.,
microscopic structure) of certain organs and tissues to be examined.
4. Show knowledge of the physiology (i.e.,
functioning) of structures to be examined.
5. Explain the importance to the body of the
systems to be examined.
6. Show appreciation for the interrelatedness
of the systems to be examined.
7. Predict the effects of certain stimuli
which may be applied to the body.
8. Relate and use the above‑mentioned
knowledge in everyday life and in your career.
The lecture and laboratory portions of this course will be operated in a
closely coordinated fashion. All
your questions relating to lecture should be directed to your lecture
instructor. All your questions relating to laboratory should be directed to
your laboratory instructor. However,
your final grade will be calculated and recorded by your lecture instructor.
Lecture will count 2/3 of your final grade and lab will count 1/3 of
the final grade. Save all graded work until you receive and have checked your
final grade.
Examinations
See separate syllabus sheets for the
schedule of lecture and laboratory tests.
Lecture tests will include material presented in lecture and material in the
text and assigned computer software related to lecture material.
The final exam may include material from the last few Lab Sections.
Lecture tests and the final exam will not be cumulative except that questions
concerning the relationships of previous material to homeostasis and to the
current material will be asked. Specific
test objectives are listed in the Course Booklet.
The point value for each exam will be proportional to the amount of material
required for the exam. Save all graded papers until you receive and have
checked your final grade.
Make‑up exams will be given for serious reasons as judged by the
instructor. For tests 1 and 2,
make‑up tests will be given on Friday, March 18 during the regular class
time. For tests 3‑5, make‑up
tests will be given on Wednesday, May 18 during the regular class time.
You must present a satisfactory written explanation for missing the
regular exam prior to taking a make‑up.
The class presentation on make‑up days will be recorded and will
be available to students who take a make‑up exam.
A grade of zero will be given for exams that are not taken or made up.
Attendance
Except for test days, no attendance
record will be kept and attendance in lecture will not be used in the
determination of grades. However,
attendance at all classes is strongly recommended since the educational
experience obtained in class can be had at no other place or time.
In addition, all students will be held responsible for all information,
materials assignments, and announcements presented in class.
Students should take the Course Booklet to all lectures and the text,
and Course Booklet to all laboratories. Students are required to have and to
use Internet access, WebCT, and a campus Group Wise account and to
direct this account to forward E-mail to their other E-mail addresses. Campus
computer lab rooms and computers are available to all students. Go to FH149 if
you need help with using any computers.
Grading
Lecture grades are determined by the
number of points accumulated by students on lecture tests and the final exam.
Lecture grades may modified slightly based on completion of and
performance on special assignments. Lab grades are determined by your lab
instructor. Lecture grades make up 2/3 of the final grade, and lab grades make
up 1/3 of the final grade. Save all graded work until you receive and have
checked your final grade.
Academic Honesty
The university policy on academic
honesty as published in the university catalog and the student handbook will
be in effect.

University Writing Requirement
To meet the University's writing
requirement, students will be asked to answer certain questions using complete
sentences with proper grammar and spelling and, on occasion, complete
paragraphs. These answers will be
graded based on content and the following of proper rules of English
composition. In addition, the
quality of your writing skills can influence the grading of all your written
work.

Laboratory Objectives: Welcome to Laboratory! The general
objectives listed for lecture are also objectives for laboratory. The specific
objectives for each laboratory exercise and test are contained in the Course
Booklet. Take your Course Booklet and text to all labs.
Tests: Test dates are listed on the course syllabus sheets.
Required material includes material (a) on text pages listed on the schedule
sheets, (b) in assignments, and (c) presented by the instructor. Tests will
not be cumulative. Tests will usually include written questions and
practical-type questions. The point value for each test will be proportional
to the amount of material required for the test.
Tests must be taken with the section in which the student is registered unless
other arrangements are made prior to the exam.
Absences from tests is a serious matter and could result in a zero test grade.
It is important to communicate with the instructor promptly, explain the
reason for the absence, and request a make-up test. Make-up tests will be
given for serious reasons as judged by your instructor. Arrangements
should be made before tests or as soon as possible thereafter. Your instructor
should be contacted in person, by phone, by note or by messenger, either
through the departmental secretary or directly as she/he indicates. A grade of
zero will be given for tests which are not taken or made up.
Grading: Each final lab grade will be determined mostly by your
achievement on tests. The instructor reserves the right to alter a student's
grade by one, or rarely two, percentage points based on his/her evaluation of
the student's effort, participation, and performance of assigned work. The
grade may also be changed based on attendance as noted below. The final lab
grade will count 1/3 of the final course grade.
Attendance: Attendance will be taken during each lab session.
Contact the instructor if you must be absent or if you come late or must leave
early. Otherwise, you may be marked as absent. Some aspects of lab work are
not represented on lab tests and in the unlikely event of absences, a
student's grade will be proportionately lowered by as much as thirty percent.
In addition, attendance at all classes is strongly recommended since
educational experiences obtained in class can be had at no other place or
time.
Take your Course Booklet and text to all labs.
After obtaining permission from the lab instructors involved, absences from
lab should be made up by attendance at one of the other lab sections given in
the same week and by presenting a note of attendance from the instructor in
charge of the other section to the student's instructor. Students will be held
responsible for all information, materials, assignments, and announcements
presented in their class whether they attend that class or not.
Special Help: Individual help beyond that given during regular
laboratory sessions is available during any regular office hours and at any
other time mutually agreed upon by the student and the instructor.
