Anatomy 1 is an intensive lecture and laboratory course that includes the study of cells, tissues, and organs of the human body. The lectures correspond closely with the laboratory experience providing the student various modalities to learn about the many organ systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. Use of the microscope and dissection of a cat are highlights of this fascinating course.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Anatomy 1 students will develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy.
2. Anatomy 1 students will apply gross and microscopic anatomy to identify histological preparations and anatomical structures.
Major Objectives
(1) To learn the language and fundamental concepts of basic human anatomy in order to be successful in future academic and/or professional endeavors.
(2) To grow as a student of science, by integrating lectures, discussions, laboratories, home-study, and small-group study into a holistic approach to learning.
(3) To work as a member of a laboratory team, taking responsibility for one’s own success, but learning to adapt, share, and learn with others during laboratory meetings.

Evaluation and Grading
(1) Quizzes (10 points each)
A quiz will be administered at the start of lecture on 8 different occasions during the semester. Quiz #1 will be given on Monday, February 12 at 3:35 PM (do not be late!!!). Each quiz will take approximately fifteen minutes and will emphasize material covered during previous class meetings. The quizzes are intended to stress the importance of staying up with the material! There will be a total of 8 quizzes worth 10 points each. At the end of the semester the lowest quiz score will be dropped and the average of the all quiz scores will be counted as Extra Credit. Quizzes cannot be made up!! Do not be late to class! You will need a single 50-question vertical Scan-Tron answer form.
(2) Laboratory Review Sheets and Lab Participation (about 15 X 10 = about 150 points)
Students are required to complete the Review Sheets at the end of each lab exercise. Review Sheets must be returned at the beginning of the next laboratory meeting that is scheduled. The Review Sheets for each of the laboratory meetings will be worth 10 points each. Do not underestimate the value of these points! Every semester some students lose a whole grade because of absence, tardies, failure to participate, or failure to hand-in Review Sheets complete and on-time. Students are encouraged to work together to complete these review sheets, but simple copying will definitely not help you learn the material. If all you do is copy – you will be cheating yourself and lessen your chances of passing this class. A student who is absent from two or more labs is subject to receiving a failing grade.
(3) Objective Midterm Exams (3 X 100 = 300 points)
There will be 3 objective midterm exams. No make-up midterms will be given. A student who has an excused absence from one midterm only will have the percentage earned on the next examination counted for that missed score.
(4) Lab Practical Midterm Exams (2 X 50 = 100 points)
There will be 2 midterm laboratory practical exams. The practical exam will involve the “hands-on” identification and understanding of material presented in the laboratory exercises. No make-up midterms will be given. Do not be late.
(5) Final Objective Exam (100 points)
The Final Objective Exam is on Monday, June 4 from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. It will include all material covered in the course (50%) and the last weeks (50%). No make-up Final Exam will be given. Students should plan their schedule accordingly.
(5) Final Laboratory Practical Exam (50 points)
The Final Laboratory Final Exam will be after the Final Objective Exam on Monday, June 4 and will cover ½ the new material since Lab Practical #2 and material covered prior to Lab Practical Exam #2. The Monday Lab will have their lab practical final exam from 7:40 – 8:30 PM and the Wednesday Lab will have their lab practical final exam from 8:40 – 9:30 PM. No make-up Final Exam will be given. Students should plan their schedule accordingly.
GRADING SCALE:
Percentage of Total Points Letter Grade
100 - 90 A
89 - 80 B
79 - 70 C
69 - 60 D
59 - lower not passing (F)
Note: Total Points Possible may vary depending on circumstances during the semester.

General Guidance and Comments
I will remain after class to answer questions and offer individual assistance. Appointments to meet at other times may be arranged. Do not be shy. I am here to help you learn and it is a pleasure for me to give extra help when requested.
Do not fall behind! This is a fast-paced course that covers a lot of material in very few class meetings. It is incumbent upon each student to do the readings, participate actively in the lab, and study diligently at home.

Did I say that enough times??????
How do I learn this material?
Repetition!

Work together! It is phenomenal what two or more people can learn at a lab table working together compared to one lonely, lost soul trying to find a "fungiform papilla" on a tongue slide. Come to class prepared to help one another.
Ask questions! There is no such thing as a stupid question. The chances are that if you don't know what is going on, 80% of the class is sitting there as ignorant as you, waiting for someone to ask. We have all been there before. So speak up!
Read the assigned text before the lecture! Anatomy is a subject that is learned by repetition, repetition, repetition...... Reading and becoming familiar with the topic and the vocabulary will allow the lectures to help make “sense” of the text book and start you on the process of sinking the material into your gray matter!
Turn off electronic devices. Please be courteous to me and other students in the class. No electronic devices shall be used during quizzes and exams.
Additional Materials
Scan-Tron answer sheets will be required for Quizzes and Objective Examinations.
