LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Measurable Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course the students should be able to do the following:
1. Describe and microscopically identify the basic tissues of the body, give their location and explain their functions.
2. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the integumentary system and describe their functions.
3. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the skeletal system and explain their functional roles in osteogenesis, repair, and body movement.
4. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the muscular system and explain their functional roles in body movement, maintenance of posture, and heat production.
5. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the nervous system and explain their functional roles in communication, control, and integration.
6. Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the special senses and explain their functional roles in vision, hearing, equilibrium, olfaction, gustation, pain temperature, touch, pressure and position.
Method of Evaluation: Every effort will be made to ensure that grading is fair and equitable. Lab grades will be based entirely on the student’s performance on lab practical examinations, quizzes, lab reports, and any other assignments. Grades earned by the student will reflect student performance. Effort put forth by the student is expected and important but is not a substitute for performance.
All lab practical exams must be attended at the regularly scheduled lab time unless you speak to me to make other arrangements to attend another lab. You will only be given permission to do so upon verification of bona fide medical emergency or death within the immediate family. Lab practical exams can cover anything covered in lab or the lab book.
Lab practical examinations will be returned in class for a brief review. Thereafter, exams will kept on file by the instructor and will be available for review. The student is responsible for scheduling time to review each exam within two days after lab practical examination grades are received. All issues regarding lab practical examination questions and grades must be resolved within two days after grades are returned to the class.
Lab reports are a one-person project. Otherwise it will be considered plagiarism and all parties involved will be reported to the Dean of students. They are due on time until the end of the day. Late reports will be accepted until the next class day after the due date, but then the starting grade will be 70.
In keeping with the spirit of the Privacy Act, grades and/or grade information will not be given to any one other than the student and will not be discussed over the phone.
Overall course grade: lecture 60%; lab 40%
Lab:3 major lab practical exams @ 20% each = 60% of the lab grade
10 quizzes (drop 2) = 20% of the lab grade
2 lab reports = 20% of the lab grade
COURSE FORMAT : Laboratory section includes dissection of a mammal and mammalian organs, as
well as study of models, slides, and charts correlating with lecture topics. Experiments and dissection will be mainly student participation, with some instructor demonstration. Films and other audio-visual materials may be used.
Attendance Policy: As described on the generic syllabus. Due to time and space considerations, each lab topic is covered only on the designated day. The student is responsible for all material covered in lab whether or not he/she is present. Contact your instructor in cases of anticipated absence, as it may be possible to attend another lab section. Quizzes may not be made up unless notice is given prior to missing class or in case of a bona fide documented emergency! There will be no chance for make up of lab practicals! You must be in class on the testing date or a 0 will be recorded for the grade.
Course Withdrawal Policy: As described in the generic syllabus.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW: 6/25/2011
Religious Holy Days: please refer to the current Collin Student Handbook
ADA Statement: It is the policy of Collin County Community College to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals who are students with disabilities. This College will adhere to all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable accommodations as required to afford equal educational opportunity. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the ACCESS office, SCC-G200 or 972.881.5898 (V/TTD: 972.881.5950) in a timely manner to arrange for appropriate accommodations.
Scholastic Dishonesty: Every member of the Collin College community is expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. Collin College may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts, or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work material that is not one’s own. Scholastic dishonesty may involve, but is not limited to, one or more of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion, use of annotated texts or teacher’s editions, use of information about exams posted on the Internet or electronic medium, and/or falsifying academic records. While specific examples are listed below, this is not an exhaustive list and scholastic dishonesty may encompass other conduct, including any conduct through electronic or computerized means:
Plagiarism is the use of an author’s words or ideas as if they were one’s own without giving credit to the source, including, but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct quotation.
Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination; collaborating with another student during an examination without authority; using, buying, selling, soliciting, stealing, or otherwise obtaining course assignments and/or examination questions in advance; copying computer or Internet files; using someone else’s work for assignments as if it were one’s own; or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of a course.
Collusion is intentionally or unintentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, failing to secure academic work; providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate about an examination or any other course assignment; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site; and allowing a classmate to copy answers.
Classroom Conduct: Students are expected to speak and act in a respectful manner to their fellow students and the professor. Inappropriate conduct is any conduct whose intent or outcome results in the interruption or disruption of the learning process and includes talking while the professor or fellow students are talking, eating or drinking in the classroom, leaving early, arriving late, or participating in any activity during class that is unrelated to the classroom activity (reading newspapers or other extraneous materials, balancing checkbooks, etc.). All such activities are disruptive and counterproductive to the learning environment.
Cell phones and pagers should be turned to vibrate before coming to class and it is asked that the student please answer the calls outside the lab. Cells phones must be turned off during quizzes and practical with no exception!!! If the student feels they have a possible exception (medical emergency, sick child, etc.) they should notify the instructor beforehand of a potential interruption, sit near the door, and exit the room quietly.
If a student does not conduct himself/herself accordingly then he/she will be asked to leave the lab and possibly removed permanently from the course.
NOTE:The professor has the right to change the syllabus at any point during the semester.
NOTE: A copy of the generic syllabus is available on the college web site at
NOTE: The A&P materials (models, slides, scopes, etc.) which are located in the LRC Science Room at CPC have been made available to enhance students’ learning. Use of these materials is a privilege and care of these materials is the responsibility of each student. If these materials disappear or are damaged, they will not immediately be replaced due to the expense. Any misuse, damage, or loss of materials will result in all students losing access and use of the materials and room. Accordingly, the Science Place will be an extension of the laboratory, you are required to adhere to all applicable safety rules: no eating, drinking, talking loudly, or use of electronic media allowed.
NOTE:The professor has the right to change the syllabus at any point during the semester.
