COURSE DESCRIPTION: Course goal/description: The sciences of anatomy and physiology are the foundation for understanding the structures and functions of the human body. We will look at how each structure of the body is designed to carry out a particular function and how the structure of a part often determines the functions if can perform. In this course you will examine: (a) the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels of organization, (b) how the body systems relate to one another, and (c) examine the physiological processes responsible form maintaining homeostasis. Required Text: Title: Principles of Anatomy and Physiology 13th edition Authors: Gerard Tortora and Bryan Derrickson Publisher: John Wiley and Sons ISBN: 978-0470-56510-0 COURSE OBJECTIVES: Consider the levels of organization that characterize living things and the properties all living things share. Examine how the body constantly regulates its internal environment (homeostasis) Discuss how the various individual systems that compose the human body cooperate with one another to maintain the health of the body as a whole. Establish a basic vocabulary that allows us to speak about the body in a way that is understood by scientists and health-care professionals. COURSE OUTLINE: Introduction to Human Body Chemical Level of Organization Cellular Level of Organization Tissue Level of Organization Integumentary System Skeletal System (and Articulations) Muscular System Nervous System (and Special Senses)

Grade Calculation:

ASSESSMENT: Final course grade = 75% Lecture + 25% Lab

Lecture grade: Absences may adversely affect your performance and result in lost points due to missed homework deadlines and quizzes. All makeup work must be completed within three (3) class meetings of your return. The instructor does not give you a grade. He/she awards you the grade you earn. Discussion of your grade will only take place in the instructors office. Tests, once graded and reviewed in class, will be returned to the instructor and filed. Homework and lab assignments will be returned to the student. It is your responsibility to keep them. Should you feel that the final grade assigned to you is in error, you will need to bring in these assignments so we can check to see if an error was made when recording the scores or adding up points. Without this documentation, the recorded grades will be assumed to be correct. Your final grade will be calculated based on 2000 points: 70% lecture tests; 5% lecture homework and quizzes; 25% lab

Assignments:
All assignments (EXCEPTION TESTS) must be done in pen (BLUE or BLACK) only. Five points will be deducted from each assignment done in pencil or other color ink. Answers to classwork and homework assignments must be written out completely do NOT use abbreviations. Cross through incorrect answer and re-write; do NOT use arrows to switch answers Your name, course, and section number should be on the back of each assignment (in upper left hand corner). Late assignments (except for excused absences) will receive a score 10 points lower than the earned points. After 3 class periods, maximum credit will be 70% of the earned points.

College Policies Spring, 2011 Academic Integrity- Cheating and/or plagiarism will not be tolerated and may result in an F for the course as well as disciplinary action under the Code of Student Conduct. A student may be referred to Academy Integrity Seminar. This two-hour seminar costs $ 40.00 and attendance is required. (Student Planner) Access Services- It is your responsibility to register with the Access Services Office should you have a verifiable and documented disability which may require reasonable accommodation (s). Further, it is your responsibility to provide your instructor with the Faculty Notification Sheet, which sets forth the reasonable accommodation(s) determined by the Equal Access Services Office. Registration with Access Services should be done at the beginning of the Term. For information see http://www.cf.edu/departments/sa/access/. Classroom Decorum- Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Disruptive students will be asked to leave the classroom. Continuous disruptive behavior will result in withdrawal from the course and disciplinary action under the Code of Student Conduct. (Student Planner) Withdrawal- - If you want to withdraw from this class, YOU must fill out the necessary forms and have them signed by the appropriate parties. If you just stop coming to class after the posted drop date, you may receive the grade of F. Add/Drop Period: January 5-9 Drop only: January 10-11 Last Date for a refund January 11 Last day to withdraw with W: March 9 The college reserves the right to evaluate individual cases of non-attendance. Students should be alerted to the fact that (1) withdrawals do not count in the CFCC G.P.A, but may not be viewed favorably at the University level (2) a withdrawal counts as an attempt under the forgiveness/withdrawal policy and the Course repeat policy

(3) there are increased costs to take the course on the third attempt (4) there may be a reason a withdrawal request may be denied. See Colleges Withdrawal procedure

College Preparatory Courses - State law requires no more than three attempts TOTAL to complete all college preparatory (English, mathematics and reading) courses. Students registered in college prep courses who receive N grade must repeat the same course and complete it with a grade of C of better before they can register for other courses that require the successful completion of the prep as a requirement ATTENDANCE: Attendance is of utmost importance in this and any other science course. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes. From past experience, there seems to be a high correlation between a students class attendance and his/her performance on tests. Documentation of student absences will begin the first day of class a student is registered. When a student has a legitimate reason for being absent, the instructor has the option of permitting the student to make up the work. POLICIES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Students who decide to drop the class must fill out the necessary forms and have them signed by the appropriate parties. I am not responsible for doing this for you. Do not just stop attending class. A student will not be given an I (incomplete) or W (withdrawal) to avoid receiving an F in the class. Students are NOT allowed to bring children to class or study areas. No food or drink is allowed in the classroom. Cell phones and/or pagers should be turned off or set on vibration during class. Please do not make calls or have friends/family call you (except in emergency). All conversations should be conducted in the hallway. Students must furnish their own Scantron sheets (and #2 pencil) for tests.
