INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of this course is to provide you with a very basic yet fairly broad understanding of human anatomy & physiology. Emphasis is placed on cell organization, human tissues and discussion of each of the human systems with a concentration on the integumentary, skeletal and muscular systems.
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Discuss the structure and function of cellular structures, cellular transport processes, and the cell cycle
- Identify basic chemical principles as they relate to anatomy and physiology
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of the levels of structural organization, the relationship between various systems of the body and the importance of homeostasis
- Use appropriate anatomical and physiological terminology when discussing structures, regions, principles and relationships
- Describe the characteristics of each of the four basic tissue types and be able to categorize the various tissues of the human body into one of the four tissue types.
- State the major functions and organs of each system of the human body and demonstrate a basic understanding of physiology significant to each system
LECTURE MATERIAL
Lecture Text: Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, Marieb 8th ed. (older or newer editions are fine)(REQUIRED)
Lecture Outline: The lecture outline is the outline of all power points that will be presented in this class and can be accessed and printed from my webpage (REQUIRED). The lecture outline should be printed, 3-hole punched and maintained in a small to medium sized 3-ring binder that I will collect from you on exam days.
Supplies: A packet ofsmall scantrons (form 882-E) forexams, and several #2 pencils with good erasers. Anything else you may need to help you study i.e.
-Tape recorder (highly recommended)
-Flash cards
-Note paper
-Colored Pencils
-Etc.
ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS
We will be covering a large amount of information in a short period of time and it is essential to attend class regularly. Most of the information that we will cover in this course will come directly from your textbook and a smaller portion of the information will not. Missing lecture will undoubtedly have anegative impact on your final grade. Tardiness is a distraction to the education process, so please come to class on time. If you are consistently tardy or late (3 absences total), you will be dropped from the course.
CONDUCT
You are all adults and will be treated as such. Excess talking is distracting and disrespectful to your fellow students as well as your instructor so please use your better judgment or points will be deducted from your overall course total at the instructor’s discretion.
Cell Phones: I understand that many of you have a need or a want to carry a cell phone with you at all times; during class time though it is not only disruptive to me, but also to fellow students. Therefore, all cell phones must be turned to vibrate or off during class sessions. During Exams I expect that all cell phones be turned off (not to vibrate) so the class is not disturbed NO EXCEPTIONS!!
Cheating: If a student is caught cheating on any assignments, or exams, the student will receive an “F” for the course, and an incident report will be filed with the college.
SPECIAL NEEDS
If you have a documented physical, psychiatric/emotional, medical, or learning disability that may impact our ability to carry out assigned course work, I urge you to contact the staff in Disabled Students Programs and Services at 571-6138 on the Moreno Valley Campus. DSS will review your concerns and determine, with you, what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential.
QUIZZES & EXAMS
There will be 10random quizzes given during the course of the semester which will consist of multiple choice, fill in the blank, true/false and labeling questions.Some of the quizzes will be power point quizzes.
The partial and final exams will also consist of multiple choice, fill in the blank, true or false and may possibly have short essay questions. The final will consist of approximately 25% review material so it is important to correct your mistakes and learn the material as opposed to memorizing facts. Study groups are extremely helpful so make your best effort to form a study group during the first or second week of class.
During exams you will not be allowed to leave once it starts so I suggest you use the facilities and make any necessary phone calls before you enter the classroom for an exam. Students with medical and/or physical conditions that cannot adhere to this rule must provide notification from the Disability Service Coordinator.
Missed quizzes MAY NOT BE MADE UP! Exams may only be made up if I am notified of the pending absence PRIOR TO THE EXAM and ONLY under emergency situations. Only one make-up exam is allowed and it must be made up within a week of the original exam date. The instructor reserves the right to decide what is or is not an emergency. Students arriving to the exam after a student finishes and leaves the classroom will not be allowed to take the exam.
HOMEWORK
Use the power point lectures posted on my webpage to fill out the corresponding areas in your lecture outline packet. You should have the appropriate portion of the outline filled out prior to lecture so that you can participate and ask questions about the material. I will collect your lecture outline on exam days. There will also be random questions embedded in the lecture outline that you will be prompted to answer and periodically turn in.There are several worksheets that I will give to you throughout the semester that you will complete and turn in on specified due dates. I will give you a detailed list of homework assignments along with this syllabus.
GRADING
Each student receives a final grade based on the percentage of points earned out of the total points possible.
