II. Course Objectives*:

 

 

This course is the second half of a sophomore level human anatomy and physiology sequence, primarily dealing with the structure and function of several internal body systems.  Students will develop:

 

A.

An understanding of the relationship between cells, tissues, organs, and systems.(V4)

 

 

B.

An understanding of the relationship between structure and function for each system covered.(V4)

 

 

C.

A body of knowledge regarding the anatomy and physiology of the human systems covered.(V4)

 

D.

An understanding of the homeostatic control of the human systems covered.(V4)

 

E.

An understanding of how the systems covered function holistically to control the functioning of the human body.(V4)

 

F.

An understanding of the relationship between abnormal anatomy and/or physiology and health-related problems. (V4, V5)

 

G.

An ability to use medical resources to aid in the analysis of medical data and determination of a diagnosis and treatment of some health problems. (V2,V3,V4)

V. Evaluation:

 

 

 

A. Testing Procedures:

 

There will be 5 lecture exams and 4 laboratory practical exams.  The lecture exams will be made of multiple choice, while the laboratory practical exams will be all short answer exams.  All lecture exams are on-line and worth 100 points and all laboratory practical exams are worth 50 points.  In laboratory, there will be an additional 50 points of lab activities.

In lecture, there will be 100 points of chapter quizzes and 100 points of case study quizzes given throughout the semester.  Students are expected to participate in study question discussions on the discussion board, which is worth 50points for the semester.

Exam Ch. 18,28 =  100 pts.                               Exam Ch. 24,25 = 100 pts.               

Exam Ch. 20,21 = 100 pts.                                Discussion Board = 50 pts.

Exam Ch. 19,22 = 100 pts.                                Exam Ch. 23,26,27 = 100 pts.         

Case Study Quizzes = 100 pts.           Chapter Quizzes = 100 pts

 

Lecture is worth 750 points or 75% of the grade.

 

B. Laboratory Expectations:

 

Students are expected to attend lab every week and complete the laboratory activities assigned to each lab.  Student work will be checked by the lab instructor before the student may leave the laboratory each week. Completed laboratory activities are worth 20% of the lab grade. The remainder of the laboratory grade is earned on the laboratory practical exams worth 80% of the lab grade.

 

                                Practical 1 = 50 pts.

                                Practical 2 = 50 pts.

                                Practical 3 = 50 pts.

                                Practical 4 = 50 pts.

                                Lab Activities = 50 pts

                                Laboratory is worth 250 points or 25% of the grade.

 

C. Field Work:

 

Case Histories assigned in lecture require research using reference books in the library or on the World Wide Web.

 

D. Other Evaluation Methods:

 

Extra Credit is not available for this course.

 

E. Grading Scale:

 

There will be a total of 1000 points offered in the course (750 pts. in lecture, 250 pts. in laboratory).  In order to pass the course, the student must earn 60% of the points offered in both lecture and laboratory sections of the course.  If this has been achieved, then the points earned from lecture and laboratory will be added together and compared to the following grading scale:

 

900-1000 points (90%-100%)  =  A

870-899 points (87-89.9%)  =  B+

800-869 points (80-86.9%)  =  B

770-799 points (77-79.9%)  =  C+

700-769 points (70-76.9%)  =  C

600-699 points (60-69.9%)  =  D

599 or less points (<60 %)   =  F

VI. Policies:

 

 

 

A. Attendance Policy:

 

Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course

 

B. Academic Dishonesty:

 

Plagiarism, cheating or other forms of academic misconduct will not be tolerated.  Students will receive a zero for the assignment.  A second offense will result in automatic failure of the course.

 

C. Accommodations for disabilities:

 

If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately.  Please see the instructor privately after class or in his/her office.  Students must present a current accommodation plan from a staff member in Services with Disabilities (SSWD) in order to receive accommodations in this course.  Services for Students with Disabilities may contact by going to Goins 127 or 131 or by phone 694-6751(Voice/TTY) or 539-7153.

 

D. Other Policies:

 

Visitors:  No visitors are allowed in lecture or laboratory unless given permission by the instructor.

               

Late Work:  No late work will be accepted unless otherwise indicated by the instructor.

 

Make-Up Exams:  Since students will have a week to take an exam, there should be no need for make-up exams.  However, if catastrophe occurs then the make-up exam will only be given if the original exam was missed due to severe illness (must have a doctor’s or hospital note), court appearance (must have court papers) or death in the family (must have appropriate documentation). Student must contact the instructor within 24 hours of the missed exam.

 

Laboratory Policy: Because the laboratory contains biohazardous materials, such as a human cadaver, there will be no food, tobacco, or drink consumption in lab nor open containers of these items.  Also, shoes will have a covered heel and covered toe design.  Students are expected to attend the lab section they are assigned to.  If a student must their assigned lab, they are expected to make up the lab the same week as the missed lab in another section.  However, prior approval from both instructors must be granted before the make-up lab is attended.

 

On-line Course (D2L)

1.  This lecture course is an on-line lecture through the Desire to Learn (D2L) on-line courses system at PSTCC.  Your instructor will provide instructions for accessing on-line materials during the orientation.

 

2.  Information available on-line will include: Class Notes, Learning Units for each Chapter, Chapter Study Questions on the discussion board, Chapter Quizzes, Case Studies and Case Study Quizzes, Exams, and Lab Supplements and links to useful sites related to A&P.

 

3. The college provides ample computer access for students that don’t own their own computer.  Therefore, students are expected to be able to access on-line materials on a regular basis and are responsible for assignments posted there.

 

Classroom Etiquette:  Students will respect each other and the instructor at all times.

A.                  Students are expected to encourage one another in their learning pursuits. The discussion board or emails are the best way to do this.

B.                  Any questions about the material can be posted to the discussion board to start a conversation.

C.                  Any specific questions about grade or test questions should be emailed to the instructor. 

D.                  The discussion board is not to be used to complain.  If you have a legitimate complaint, email it to the instructor.
