Course Description:
This course is a study of the general and specific structural anatomy and physiology of the human, including the requisite principles of chemistry that influence homeostasis. The systems approach is used incorporating chemical functions with human structure, from the cell to the entire organism. Each system is presented in sufficient depth to provide a comprehensive understanding of systems for students in the life and health sciences. The systems covered include integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous. 47 contact hours.

1.The student will develop an understanding of the interrelationships of the structure of the human body and the specific functions of its cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
2.The student will develop knowledge of the basic principles of chemistry that govern the normal maintenance of homeostasis, and will demonstrate understanding of the malfunction of homeostatic mechanisms in response to stress and/or disorders in the human body.

Criteria Performance Standard:
Upon the completion of this course the student will, with a minimum 70 percent accuracy, demonstrate mastery of each of the above stated objectives through classroom measures developed by individual course instructors.
Student Expectations: Lectures are designed to introduce concepts and help provide a framework for your study of anatomy and physiology. Students are responsible for reading and studying the material in the notes and textbook in order to assimilate the key terms, analyze and understand the course objective topics. Due to time constraints, the lecture may not cover every item in the notes or its corresponding section in the textbook. However, students are responsible for all the material. Exams will test comprehension and application. Students are advised to establish regular weekly study habits and seek tutoring help, if necessary, early in the semester.
Prerequisite: Recommended: High School or college level biology or chemistry class within 5 years. Prerequisites: (ENC 0020 and REA 0002 and MAT 1033 with a minimum grade of “C”) or (EAP 1695 and MAT 1033 with a minimum grade of “C”) or (appropriate score on SPC placement test).

Multimedia:
- The textbook has its own website: then scroll down to your text book and click on “visit companion sites”, then click on “student companion site”, enter chapter you are working on and visit “hear illustration podcasts”, “activity sheets”, “flash cards” and “practice quizzes”
- “Interactive Physiology” is on the lab computers or Google search “Interactive Physiology” and find your subject matter
- and scroll down to “biology” and search for the subject matter you are interested in

INSTRUCTOR'S NOTE: This course will cover a large amount of material at a rapid pace. It is your job to stay current and you are expected to read BEFORE coming to class. DO NOT FALL BEHIND! If you are experiencing difficulty, the harder it will be to achieve a good grade. You will need to work on strategies, study habits, time management, etc., because your performance (grade) is ultimately your responsibility.

Academic Integrity: The college has an official policy on academic honesty and proper classroom behavior. It is the student’s responsibility to review the online Academic Honesty Policy or "Academic Honesty and Student Behavior: Expectations of Students at SPC" brochure. It is important to remember that everyone’s goal should be to learn. Behavior that impedes the learning process of others will not be tolerated. Disruptive behavior includes talking at inappropriate times, text-messaging or talking on the phone during class or repeatedly coming to class late. Please turn off pagers and cell phones and limit talking while in class!
Students are expected to be actively engaged in the learning process, and should ask the instructor questions as needed.
Attendance Policy:
You are encouraged to attend all lectures and arrive on time. Frequently in lecture, I inform students of important concepts that they need to know for an upcoming exam. Faculty must file lack of attendance reports (exceeding 2 absences) for veterans, dual-enrolled, Early College and Collegiate High School students.
SPC Withdrawal Policy:
Instructors can no longer withdraw students from classes. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course, it is the responsibility of the student to withdraw either online through MySPC or with the help of an advisor in the registration office. If the withdrawal is completed by March 20, 2012, a grade of “W” will be recorded which does not impact the student’s GPA. If the withdrawal occurs after March 20, 2012, the student will receive a grade of WF (withdraw-failing). The WF grade is punitive; it has the same impact on the GPA as an F. Students in the third attempt of a course who withdraw will receive a WF regardless of the date of withdrawal. Students who do not attend during the first two weeks of classes will automatically be withdrawn from the course by the college and will still be responsible for the tuition and fees. Also, students who do not show sufficient active participation (completion of tests 1 and 2) in the course by March 20, 2012, will be administratively withdrawn by the college and receive a WF. Students who withdraw from all classes may be required to repay some or all of the financial aid received for the term. Should you consider totally withdrawing from all classes before March 20, 2012 (for the Fall session) it is important that you consult the Scholarships & Student Financial Assistance office on your home campus to understand your options and the consequences of total withdrawal.
Since the lecture (2085) and the lab (2085L) are co-requisite courses, you are supposed to withdraw from the lab if you withdraw from the lecture.
Examinations:
EXAMS: Five exams will be given in class, the average of which will be 80% of your final grade. They will consist mainly of multiple choice questions including “not true” questions and critical thinking questions. Students are responsible for providing SCAN-TRON sheets, which are available in the bookstore. Makeup exams can be taken if a crisis arises.
QUIZZES: Chapter quizzes will be given in “Angel”, the average of which will be 20% of your final grade.
The college provides instructions for using Angel. Rules for completing the quizzes in Angel will be displayed in Angel. The 2 lowest scores for quizzes will be dropped. There will be no other accommodations for not completing the quizzes properly and on time. A printed schedule of when the chapter quizzes are due will be shown in class and posted in Angel.
Grading System:
Average of 90 % or better (450 plus pts.) = AAverage of 60-69.9 % (300 – 349 pts.) = D
Average of 80-89.9 % (400 – 449 pts.) = BAverage of 59.9 % or less (below 300 pts.) = F
Average of 70-79.9 % (350– 399 pts.) = C
