Students are expected to read the chapters from the textbook and/or primary literature reading assignments before the lecture and participate in classroom discussion.

Course Objectives: Students who successfully complete Human Anatomy & Physiology I should be able to do the following: (1) Have a general understanding of the molecular, cellular, and histological features of the human body. Be able to identify the major human body parts and describe their locations using proper anatomical terminology. (2) Be able to explain the general physiological processes involved in the functioning of the major body systems covered in this course. (3) Be aware of the interdependencies of bodily systems and of the delicate balances that exist within the body. (4) Be able to read articles from scientific and medical journals, write technical abstracts of those articles, and adequately represent the content of those articles in oral presentations to the class. (5) Develop attitudes and behaviors that are conducive to healthier living.

Grading: Your course grade will reflect your performance on the following (subject to change): Exams Three exams (100 points each) and the Final exam (150 points) Quizzes 8 quizzes (15 points each) Assignments (Homework and in-class) 10 assignments (20 points each) Lab Reports total of 140 points Final Presentation 100 points Total possible points = 1100 points Details regarding each assignment and lab report will be given in class when assigned. Criteria for the final presentation will be discussed in detail and a separate syllabus for this project will be given to all students. In order to succeed in this course: 1) read the chapters from the text before the lecture, 2) think about how and why various experimental methods are used, 3) study possible essay questions from each chapter, 4) prepare for quizzes and tests, 5) research a topic for your final project, and 6) always be willing to ask for assistance (from me, tutoring services, Smarthinking.com, other professors, fellow students, etc). Homework re-assessment policy: I am a strong believer in the notion that you never make the same mistake twice therefore, I will allow you to correct any mistakes you make on your homework and resubmit the assignment for a re-grade. You will receive half-credit for answers that you correct correctly. Resubmission for re-grades is due the class meeting immediately following the day the homework is returned to you. Please note: this policy only applies to homework that is turned in on time! Academic Integrity: Academic work is evaluated on the assumption that the work presented is the students own, unless designated otherwise. Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty or facilitating any such act are violations of University policy and are not acceptable conduct in this class. Any act of academic dishonesty will earn a minimum penalty of a grade of zero on the related item. The University will also be notified of any attempts at academic dishonesty and appropriate consequences will follow.
