Teacher: Ms. L. Fine Contact: Classroom 321 Phone: (323) 972-9010

Email: ebsite:

Textbook: Shier, Butler and Lewis Hole’s Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology (10th edition)

Office Hours/Tutoring: Tuesday 3:45 – 4:45

Course Description

Anatomy and Physiology is the study of the body’s structures and functions at the molecular/biochemical, cellular, tissue, organ, systemic and organism levels. Students explore the body through laboratory investigations, models, diagrams, and/or comparative studies of the anatomy of other organisms. The study of anatomy and physiology prepares students for a variety of health care careers.

Anatomy & Physiology UNITS:

Classroom Rules:

  1. Be on time.
  2. Communicate respectfully.
  3. No personal electronic devices.
  4. Be prepared with all class materials.

Class Materials:

  1. College Ruled Composition Notebook

– for science only

  1. Agenda
  2. 2 or more pencils
  3. 2 or more pens
  4. 2 or more glue sticks

Student Expectations:

1. Students will practice academic integrity; cheating is not tolerated and will result in a failing grade.

2. Students will wait for the teacher to dismiss class at the end of the period.

3. Students will be given four bathroom passes to be used in emergency situations only.

Tardy Policy:

A student will be considered tardy if they are not in the classroom when the bell rings.

Make up Policy:

Any students with an excused absence can make-up missed work. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher as soon as possible after excused absences to collect missed work. No late work will be graded for unexcused absences.

Grades Policy:

Students will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate knowledge through classwork, quizzes, tests, projects, homework and laboratory experiments. The below grading scale will be used to assign grades.

A = 4 =84-100%=Advanced I can teach it.

B = 3 =67-83.9%=ProficientI get it.

C = 2 =50-66.9%=Basic I’m starting to get it.

NP =1 =Below 50%=Below Basic I don’t get it.
