This course is the second in a series of two courses presenting a survey of the anatomy and physiology
of the systems of the human body. While KN 252 (as a follow up to KN 251) will attempt to present an
overview of all the systems of the body, it is in no way a complete presentation of human anatomy and
physiology. In fact, each lecture could be expanded into an entire course.
This is a five semester-hour course. Students will attend four lecture/discussion sessions, and one
laboratory session each week. In addition to discussions, notes and helpful study materials will be posted
on BLACKBOARD in either Assignments or Course Documents section. Although these are not
required assignments, referring to them may help your performance on the examinations. All lectures
and discussions will meet in room 250 BSB. Lecture exam locations will be announced in class. All labs
and lab exams will be held in 3070 SEL. Questions regarding course administration should be directed to
either Dr. Marone or Dr. Bareither. Questions concerning lab and Blackboard usage should be directed
to Sara Schwab. Any questions related to lecture material may be emailed to the instructor that delivered
the lecture (Dr. Marone or Dr. Bareither). Please label these emails as 252 question so that we will be
able to identify them quickly.
Four components of this course will be used to determine your final grades. Your laboratory exams will
count 174 points (43.5%), 50 points for exams 1 and 2 (12.5% each) and 74 points for exam 3 (18.5%).
Your 3 unit lecture exams will count 135 points (33.75%), 45 points (11.25%) for each exam. In addition 3
unannounced pop quizzes worth 1 point each will be administered during a lecture/discussion section
(0.75%) during the semester. Your final lecture exam will count 88 points (22%), for a total of 400 points
or 100%.
You will be assured of the following grades with total scores of:
A = 358 - 400
B = 318 - 357
C = 278 - 317
D = 238 - 277
E = 237 or below
prepared by the faculty is also available at the bookstore. It is highly recommended, but not required.
There are three anatomy atlases also available at the bookstore. They are:
1. Atlas of Anatomy by Gilroy, et al.
2. Grants Atlas of Anatomy by Agur
3. Atlas of Human Anatomy by Netter
These atlases are not required, but many students have found the use of an additional atlas to be helpful
in the laboratory. The selection of any one atlas will serve your needs in this course. Supplemental
materials for the course are also available but not required.
Students with Disabilities and Accommodation Requests
Students with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations to enable active participation in this
course. Requests for accommodation are coordinated through the UIC Disability Resource Center. More
information may be found at the DRC Website located at:
http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/disability_resources/index.html. Students requesting accommodation must
provide the instructor with a letter outlining the specific accommodations requested for a specific course.
These letters are developed by the DRC in coordination with the student and presented to the instructor
by the student during the first week of the semester.
EXAMINATIONS:
On Friday of weeks 5, 10, and 15 (8:00-8:50 a.m.) you will be given an exam on material presented
during that five-week unit. The exam will consist primarily of multiple choice questions, although other
types of questions may be included. Material will be drawn from ALL lectures, tutorials, and
lecture/discussion sessions. A final comprehensive examination will be administered during finals week.
During your assigned lab session in weeks 5, 10, and 15 you will take a lab practical examination where
you will be asked to identify structures you have studied. In addition, you may be asked to identify
functions associated with these structures. Further information on exam protocol can be found in the
Course Information section of Blackboard (see below). Please read this prior to your first set of
examinations.
IF YOU MISS AN EXAM, YOU MUST NOTIFY DR. MARONE, DR. BAREITHER, OR SARA SCHWAB
BY 5:00 P.M. OF THAT DAY, AND A MAKE-UP EXAM WILL BE SCHEDULED. (PLEASE NOTE
THAT ONLY ONE MAKEUP EXAM PER SEMESTER IS ALLOWED.) FAILURE TO NOTIFY US by
5:00 PM WILL RESULT IN A GRADE OF 0 FOR THAT EXAMINATION.
QUESTIONS CONCERNING EXAMS MUST BE MADE WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE EXAMS
ARE RETURNED.
BLACKBOARD:
KN 252 utilizes the BLACKBOARD interactive program maintained by the UIC Instructional Technology
Laboratory. To access BLACKBOARD click on the quick link on the UIC home page. Login with your
NetID and your ACCC password.
In the Course Documents section of BLACKBOARD you will find links to the full syllabus, lecture
material, course objectives and sample exams. Quizzes are available through the Mastering A&P
website. In addition, videos of specific cadaver dissections will be posted. No course material may be
downloaded and placed on any public site. Doing so may result in legal action.
Please visit the BLACKBOARD site and log in at some point during the first week of class. You want to be sure
that you have been entered into the system and are able to log into the KN 252 class site without difficulty. If
you have not been added or cannot login, contact Sara Schwab immediately.
