GENERAL
Biomedical Sciences 108 is the study of the physiology of the human body. This course will offer an in-depth study into the basic functions, processes, and structures of the human body.
This 4-unit course is designed for students that are interested in a health science related career. It satisfies the SBCC General Education requirement in Natural Sciences, transfer to UC and CSU schools as a laboratory science course, and can be used as a prerequisite for entrance to health science careers (e.g. nursing, physical therapy, etc.).
Note that Biomedical Sciences 108 also satisfies the Gen Ed requirement and is transferable to UC and CSU schools as laboratory science course.
REQUIREMENTS
You are required to attend two 1 hour 20 minute lectures per week and one 3-hour and 5 minute laboratory per week. This is afully integrated courseand you are required to enroll in, attend, and receive a passing grade in the laboratory portion AND the lecture portion to pass the course. You MUST be enrolled in the Wednesday -Wednesday lecture and one of my associated lab sections. You cannot go to another instructor's section and receive credit.
Please note the following:
• All lecture exams and lecture quizzes will be held in EBS 309. All Lab quizzes will be held in EBS 312, EBS 313, or EBS 210 according to assigned laboratory sections.
• Do NOT ask for special dispensation on exam or quiz dates. Make your schedule fit this one, not v.v.
• NO MAKE-UPS, but if a problem arises, please see me ASAP.
• Exams and quizzes are cumulative.
• Your course grade will be lowered by one letter grade if you miss a lecture exam (unless accompanied by a valid medical excuse from a physician).
• The final exam is a College requirement — you can not pass the course without taking the final exam. You know date of the final exam, so please make sure that you can make that date asNO early or late examswill be given.
• Although you receive one combined course grade (i.e. lecture & lab), if you fail the lab or lecture portion, or fail to complete the assignments, you will fail the course. The same goes for the lecture portion of the course.
• Any assignment turned in late, no matter what the excuse is, will count for up to one-half the point value on the assignment. No exceptions.
• You should not miss any labs. However, you will have your course grade automaticallylowered one full gradefor every lab beyond TWO that you miss.

THEfinePRINT
ATTENDANCE
ATTENDANCE OF ALL LECTURES AND LAB SESSIONS IS REQUIRED.You will be required to initial an attendance sheet at each lecture session.It is your responsibility to remember to sign the attendance sheet.Please arrive on time and be fully prepared for lecture and lab. I know that parking is a problem — so please allow time to get here early to account for any parking hassles. Please do not schedule medical, legal, and other appointments during normal class times — these will not be considered as excused absences. Medical or personal emergencies will require a written notice of the specific problem signed by an appropriately qualified individual.Labs start on the hour and quizzes are given at the beginning of the lab and are timed.
CHEATING
Absolutely no form of academic dishonesty or plagiarism will be tolerated.It is unethical, unfair, and against College policy. Violators will automatically fail the course and be referred to the administration for appropriate action. Don't do it.
GRADING
Grading is based on exams, quizzes, and assignments. There are 1000 total points for the course. You can earn the following grades:A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D, F.
The grading scale is set at a straight percentage as follows:
94% (940 points) and above for an 'A', 90-93.9% (900-939 points) for an 'A-',
87-89.9% (870-899 points) for a 'B+', 84-86.9% (840-869 points) for a 'B', 80-83.9% (80-839 points) for a 'B-',
77-79.9% (770-799 points) for a 'C+', 70-76.9% (700-769 points) for a 'C',
60% (600 points) to 69.9% for a 'D',
59.9% (599 points) and below for an 'F'.
A significant amount ofextra creditis provided in a number of designated ways as noted above and so thegrade you earn is firm.
Any regrades/disputes must come back to me in written form within two (2) weeks after the date the exam is handed back.
NO MAKEUP EXAMS POLICY
There are NO makeup exams or quizzesexcept in the case of death/illness of a family member or death/illness of your self.A written medical excuse will be required for all illnesses.It is your responsibility to ensure that you have no conflicts in your exam schedule. Exam dates may change, but I require that you be here for ALL class times, so do not schedule anything during class time. If an exam date changes, there will be no make up time if you have scheduled something else for another class time.
The final exam time is set and the lecture exams are all scheduled during regular lecture hours. In the case of some unforeseen documented personal crisis, a makeup will be granted only with my consent.
EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS
There is no directed extra credit available for this course.The effort that you would be required to put forth for extra credit would be better used to actually study and spend time on the required material. There are a some 'built in' extra credit points that will occur on exams or on lab quizzes.TEXTBOOK INFORMATION
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY — Biomedical Sciences 108
Spring Semester 2017
Principles of Human Physiology, 14th edition.byStuart I. Fox
Istronglyrecommend that you keep up with your reading assignments. Donotwait until the day before an exam to complete your reading. Trust me — you will not be successful at cramming this material a few days before the exam. The reading will account for20-25%of all your lecture examinations. Thesewillincludeappropriate figures, essays, special boxes, medical terminology, and any other material provided in class.
Much of the material you are assigned is covered in class — you can use this as a good review. A significant amount of reading is not directly discussed. You shouldconcentrateyour study time on this material. If you do not understand a concept or structure in class, find it in the book and see if this will clarify it. Thefiguresin this text are excellent and you should refer to them constantly to aid your understanding of the material. Use them as supplementary and complementary to your reading and studies.
If you think that you can earn an 'A' grade in this class without referring to the book, your chances are slim.
Physiology is based much on processes that are often illustrated as flow charts. You will find that it is best learned(not memorized)when you 'three-dimensionalize' the material based on the fundamental anatomy of the structures involved. Often there is much more detail in the figures and reading than you will ever be expected to know. I do not want you to memorize these details. You must use your discretion and good sense. I promise to try to be reasonable about asking material on exams from the textbook.
Your first reading assignment is to read this page carefully. If you still have any questions concerning the reading assignments, please come and see me.Most of the material in the book that you will be tested on will emanate from thebold-facedterms. I donotwant you to attempt to memorize the most obscure facts that can be abstracted from the reading. The book is there to help youunderstandthe material presented in class and broaden your working knowledge of physiology. The semester system is far too brief for me to present all material in lecture and so the book must be supplementary in these areas.
Finally, physiology is much like any other course. You are essentially learning a new language and so you should keep up with it on a daily basis. It also uses the language of anatomy. You also should be familiar with the anatomy of all organ systems.
In many instances it is merely adding to a vocabulary that you all ready possess. One of the primary purposes of this course is to make you 'literate' in the language of medicine and the human body. The book and our discussions should accomplish that. This subject is about you. Do not be ignorant of your body and how it works. Flex your biceps brachii, sit your gluteus maximus down and study it off. If you haveanyquestions concerning material or assignments,please do not hesitateto come and see meimmediately.Good luck!!!and I hope you enjoy the course.
A reading list for theTEXTBOOKis provided withall the pagesin the text that you will be required to read. You arenotrequired to read any of the other pages in the text. It is OK though to read them if you are interested! You should readall the colored boxes within those pages and any associated figures or tablesunless specified not to read them. I have included the objectives, summary outline and questions within appropriate chapters. Donotskip these. You will find them highly useful. I often take questions from these pages.

READ THIS CAREFULLY!
The laboratory portion of the course will account for430 pointsof your grade. The breakdown of points is as follows:
There are13 Lab Assignments, each of which are worth 10 points each, for a total of130 points.They are due,without exception(unless noted by me otherwise), at the beginning of the following respective laboratory week. If a lab assignment is late, you may earn up to only one-half of the point value. NO exceptions!
There are 14 Lab Quizzes, but only 12 will count directly toward your grade. Each of which are worth 20 points each, for a total of240 points. The other two quizzes will count asextra creditto be added to your total. There arenomake-up quizzes.NO exceptions!If you miss a quiz, then that can count as one of the extra quizzes.
The quiz questions will come from all previous labs and any pertinent material from lecture. They are intended to have you demonstrate your working knowledge and understanding of the lab and lecture material. There will always be at least one question on a quiz that is derived from the lab material that you are performing that day, so read your lab BEFORE you get to the lab.
You can receive30 pointsfor attendance and participation, with the points based on participation. That means you are an active member of your lab group doing experiments and answer questions posed in the lab.
There are 6 Project Course Assignments worth a total of60 points (10 points each). You can access the P coursehere.
You are obligated to be here for all labs and all the time that the lab is in session. Five rules apply:
1. If you miss a lab, you cannot make it up. Switching labs can only be a rare occurrence and is discouraged and you need my permission ahead of time.
2. If you miss a lab, you will not only miss the quiz, assignment, and participation points, but you will be docked another 5 points unless you have a valid excuse. So, just be there.
3. If you leave early from a lab, you will be docked 5 points. We review the lab at the end, so even if your group finishes early, you should remain and work on your lab questions.
4. Lab assignments and P course assignments must becompleteandon timefor full credit. Any late assignment can only earn up to half credit. The questions in the assignments provide you and me a measure of how well you understand the material.
5. If you do not make a passing grade in the laboratory portion of the course, you CANNOT pass the course.
DISABLED STUDENT PROGRAMS and SERVICES (DSPS)
SBCC students with disabilities who are requesting accommodations for classes, college activities or tests should use the following SBCC procedure.(NOTE: This also includes students who are requesting to bring service animals into classes.
