Purpose

                To provide a general understanding of human anatomy and physiology for those students in the allied health fields and to meet requirements for an Associate in Arts Degree or Associate in Science Degree, as well as to meet the requirements of transfer students working toward a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degree.

Objectives

1.       To help the students acquire knowledge of normal development, structures, and functions of the human  body.

2.       To provide a foundation for the undergraduate college and university student.

3.       To provide a foundation for understanding deviations from the normal in physiological function.

Human Anatomy and Physiology II Biol 2402 is a sophomore-level class.  A passing grade in Biol 2401, one semester of college chemistry is required, and a general biology or zoology class is highly recommended.  Much memorization as well as comprehension is required.  Due to the volume of information presented in this course, you must be prepared to spend 25 hours or more per week outside of class studying the text, lecture notes and the lab materials!!!

                I have prepared outlines of the Power Point slides that you may purchase in the bookstore. You will need to take additional notes during class and lab. You must read the chapters in the text to gain more insight and explanation of the material presented in lecture!! Reading and studying the textbook is essential for this class.

 Required Materials

Marieb, Elaine N. & Hoehn, Katja, Human Anatomy & Physiology, 7th Edition
(comes bundled with A Brief Atlas of the Human Body, 2nd Edition, Study Card for My A&P, And Get Ready for A&P by Lori K Garrett and Interactive Physiology)

            OR    ALTERNATE TEXT:  Saladin, Kenneth, Anatomy and Physiology The Unity of Form and Function, 4th Edition

8 Answer Sheets. These can be obtained at the SPC Bookstore. Turn these in to me during the first  week of class.

Outline of PowerPoint slides- purchase at SPC Bookstore

Optional Materials

Student Study Guide – Homan and Saladin Anatomy & Physiology

Anatomy Coloring book

Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards

Clinical Application for Anatomy & Physiology – Saladin 3^rd Ed.

Do Not Be Late For Class:

I will not tolerate tardiness to my classes. Allow time to drive, find a parking place, and take care of personal business and still be in your seat a couple of minutes before class starts. Being late for class is rude behavior, shows a lack of respect for me and your fellow classmates, and should never happen.

Attendance Policy

Attendance at all classes and labs is mandatory. In order for you to master the material presented, it is essential that you attend every lecture and lab. A STUDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INITIATING HIS/HER OWN WITHDRAWAL, if that becomes necessary. A student may be administratively dropped from the class after missing a total of 2 absences during the semester. If a student is administratively (i.e. instructor initiated) withdrawn from the class, the grade appearing on the transcript will be a "F". If you decide to drop before (June 26) then your grade on your transcript will be a "W". If you decide to stop attending class, it is your responsibility to take the proper action to have this course officially dropped from your schedule, as soon as possible to prevent being administratively dropped with an "F". Last day to drop is Thursday, June 26.   NOTE:  If you are receiving financial aid, it is your responsibility to visit with the financial aid advisor to determine how dropping this course will affect your present and future financial aid eligibility. 

Arrive to class on time. Two tardies will be equivalent to one absence. NOTHING INTERRUPTS CLASS MORE THAN A STUDENT WHO IS HABITUALLY LATE AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT. Come to class prepared, by reading lecture and lab assignments and studying previous notes.  Do not be late to class!!

For additional information regarding the spring semester calendar, spring registration schedule and drop/withdrawal policy and procedures, refer to the Summer 2008 Class Schedule, which is available from the Admissions and Records office or online at www.southplainscollege.edu. 

For additional information about SPC policies regarding class attendance, drops and withdrawals, academic probation and suspension, academic integrity, student conduct, student records, etc. please refer to the SPC General Catalog, which is available from the Admissions and Records office. 

Exams

There will be a total of 5 exams given this summer session. The fifth exam will count as your final.  All exams should be taken on the scheduled day and class time. All exams will count. There will be no make up exams. All exams must be finished within the allotted time. There will be no outside projects, papers, or assignments to replace or raise an exam average. You will need to bring a #2 pencil on the day of an exam.

FINAL EXAM:        Wednesday, July 2nd

Class Material

I will use PowerPoint to present most of the lectures this semester. You will not be able to copy all the information from the screen so the outlines of the PowerPoint lectures will be made available for purchase at the bookstore. They may be viewed from my web site.  Other study aids will be made available on the web and in the A&P audio-visual tutorial lab in the library.  You will need to have access to the internet. If you do not have access at home, you can use the Technology Center on campus. You need to use  Internet Explorer as your browser instead of Netscape.

1.       Eating is not allowed in class or lab. Drinks will be allowed in class but not labs.

2.       Do not be late for class!!! Make it a habit to be on time.

3.       Attending lecture, but skipping lab and vice versa counts as an absence.

4.       Prepare for each class by studying and reviewing the previous lecture or lectures and reading the text ahead of time over that days lecture.

5.       Use your time in lab wisely. Do not waste it with needless chatting.

Laboratory Safety

Information and instructions for safe laboratory practice and potentially hazardous chemicals will be made available. MSDS sheets are available. No food or drinks are allowed in the laboratories at any time. Do not  take models or anything else home from the lab. This is not allowed and anyone who takes something from the lab will be dropped from the course with an F (see cheating below) and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

 Academic Integrity

I will not tolerate anyone who cheats. My policy is, if you are academically dishonest (cheat), then you will be dropped from the class with an "F"!  Students will be expected to abide by the SPC code of conduct, which can be found in the SPC Student Handbook. Refer to Academic Integrity including definitions of 1. cheating and 2. plagiarism in the SPC general catalog. Any student found copying another student's work or answers will be dropped from the class with an "F". Any student willfully allowing another student to copy his/her work will also be dropped with an "F" from the class.

Disability

Students with disabilities, including but not limited to physical, psychiatric or learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in this class should notify the Special Services Office early in the semester so that the appropriate arrangements may be made.  In accordance with federal law, a student requesting accommodations must provide acceptable documentation of his/her disability to the Special Services Coordinator.  For more information, call or visit the Special Services Office in the Student Services Building, 894-9611 ext. 2529, 2530.

Diversity Statement

In this class, the teacher will establish and support an environment that values and nurtures individual and group differences and encourages engagement and interaction.  Understanding and respecting multiple experiences and perspectives will serve to challenge and stimulate all of us to learn about others, about the larger world and about ourselves.  By promoting diversity and intellectual exchange, we will not only mirror society as it is, but also model society as it should and can be.

I will add up the points on your five exams and divide the total by 5.

                Total points on five exams / 5= Final average

Anatomy and Physiology/Biology Study Lab

In order to assist you in studying Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, the Levelland campus library has graciously agreed to help us set up a study lab in the library.   This study lab will enable you to study models, bones and other lab materials whenever the library is open.  The study lab is located in the audiovisual classroom on the second floor of the Levelland campus library. Summer library hours.

We are privileged to be able to use this space and to have the assistance of the library staff.  We must not abuse this privilege.  Therefore, some rules for the use of this lab are in order. 

1.  You will be able to check out hearts, wire models, videos, CD-ROMs, histology slides etc.  In order to do so, you must check out these items at the Circulation Desk.  You will need to provide your name and your student ID, and be prepared to leave something of value as a deposit (such as keys, driver’s license, etc). 

2.  Absolutely no food or drinks will be allowed in the study lab.  Food and drinks are permitted in the lobby of the library. 

3.  Although the lab will accommodate group study, please be quiet and respectful of other students using the study lab, and students in other areas of the library. 

4.  In many cases, there is only one heart model, video, etc. available for check out.  Be prepared to share the lab materials with your fellow classmates while in the study lab. (see disclaimer in #5)

5.  The same person who checked out the lab material must return the lab material to the circulation desk.  Your name and the material you checked out will be recorded, so if an item comes up missing, YOU will be responsible for paying for the missing material. 

6.  Please treat lab materials with care and respect.  Some lab materials cost upwards of $3500.00, so you MUST be careful not to break or traumatize these lab materials.  YOU are responsible for any lost or broken materials.

7.  If you use a computer, TV/VCR or slide projector, please be careful with these items.  If you need help, contact the librarian.  Again, YOU are responsible for any broken AV equipment.

8.  No horseplay will be tolerated in the library or study lab.  The library staff has the authority to remove you from the library.  Unruly behavior will result in the loss of your privilege to use the lab, and additional disciplinary actions may be taken.

9.  You must cheerfully follow any additional instructions or rules given to you by the librarian or library staff member.  Failure to do so will result in the loss of your privilege to use this lab.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RULES LISTED ABOVE MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR PRIVILEGE TO USE THIS LAB!!!!!!!!!!!
