ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to
attend all lectures and laboratories in this class. Students are
not allowed to leave lecture early, except for emergencies [please do not
consider lecture as a seminar that you can freely walk in and out of, the
disruptions are inconsiderate to the students remaining in lecture]. There are no points given for attending
class, however there is a lot of information contained in the text and
laboratory assignments, so a lack of attendance will increase your workload. Students are responsible for knowing the
material for each exam, therefore no information missed during lectures and
labs that clarify the material that will be emphasized during the course will
not be repeated or made available electronically. Laboratory is your chance for a "hands on" experience,
which cannot be duplicated by reading the text or laboratory manual. The laboratory practical exams will utilize
models and specimens, not the color photographs in the textbook. You may not bring food, beverages, or
children to lectures or the laboratory.
If you converse during lecture,
you will be asked to leave the lecture. Turn off all cell phones during lab and lecture; if your use your
cell phone during a lecture or lab the instructor will ask you to leave the
class [if you have a job or a circumstance that requires your cell phone to be
on during class you must provide the instructor with proof of this
requirement]. Cell phones or any other
electronic devices are not allowed to used during exams; no exceptions without
the instructors permission. Any
conversation between students or use of electronic devices during an exam will
be considered academic misconduct and handled according the rules outlined in
the university catalog. Students with
disabilities, who need special accommodations to participate fully in the
class, please see me to discuss your needs.
EVALUATION: Both lecture (except the
lecture final) and laboratory examinations will be given in the laboratory [Sci
I -208]. All tests are to be taken on the scheduled date and during your
registered lab section. You may NOT leave the room during an examination.
Accurate spelling is an integral part of this course. Excessive
misspelling will result in loss of credit.
Rules for the Laboratory: 1. Slides, books, model, bones,
specimens, and microscopes may not be taken out of the laboratory [Please do
not even ask……the office of campus security can open the lab for review on
weekends]. 2. Treat all models,
skeletons, slides and equipment with care and respect. Clean your hands before use to remove oil and
dirt. Please do not use pencils and
pens as pointers [there are wood sticks available in the lab to use as pointers
for the bones and foramen]. 3.
Each student must participate in dissections. Anatomy is not a spectator sport. Each student should bring their own dissecting tools to the
laboratory [There are laboratory course points that require all students
complete their dissections]. 4. There is a lab fee to cover the expense
of the cats used for laboratory instruction.
Two students are required to share a cat. 5. Dissections can be messy. Please maintain a neat and clean lab…this
includes the counters and sink area, as well as the table used for dissection. 6. Lecture and Laboratory material are closely
related. Do not ignore lecture material
in the laboratory, nor vice versa.
Please bring both your laboratory manual and textbook to all laboratory
meetings. 7. An incomplete grade and
make-up exams will not be given because of the difficulty in setting up
practical examinations. 8.
Exams may be submitted to correct errors in grading. A written explanation of the problem must
accompany the exam copy no later than one week following the day the exams are
returned.
CLASS
ASSIGNMENTS AND COMPUTER DOWNLOADS:
The course assignments are voluntary and are only included to aid in learning the course information. [if you do not complete the assignments then it is up to you, as the student, to determine another productive method of learning the course information]. The computer downloads will include the lists of anatomical structures and lab activity worksheets. You are not required to print out the handouts for the course; however, you will be responsible for identifying the anatomical structures in bold print on all of the lists and knowing the information about those structures covered in the handouts. All of this information is contained in the textbook, but it requires more time to learn without the guidance of the worksheets provided. These worksheets will be posted on WEBCT at least one lab prior to lab covering the information. All worksheets will be posted on the WEBCT Lab materials link. Due to possible access difficulties the handouts for the first week of lab [lab 1 and 2] will be provided in the lab; after the first week all handouts must be downloaded before coming to lab, no handouts will be provided in lab after the first week. The exception to this rule will be lists of the terms required which will always be available in the lab [these lists of terms will not contain the worksheet questions]. Since I anticipate difficulties in accessing WEBCT for the first two weeks; if you are not able to login to WEBCT the handouts for weeks 1 and 2 are also posted on the course website at: http://www.csub.edu/~ddodenhoff/anatomy/anatomy.html
ACCESSING
WEBCT: webct can be accessed from two
websites- the main university page at http://www.csub.edu
and use the webct icon
or directly at http://www.csub.edu/webct/. Read the directions about how to login. Your
login is not necessarily the first letter of your first name and your
last name, the correct login is your email address without the
@runner.csub.edu…..therefore if your runner email is anderson2@runner.csub.edu
then your login is anderson2. If you
unable to login and use your password and you have not used webct before please
go to the course website and fill out a “I unable access webct” form and email
or bring the form to lab or lecture to fix the problem. The worksheets and
information available on webct is not required to be completed for your grade
assessment in Bio 250, all materials are provided as study aids for the course
content. Therefore it is the student’s
obligation to learn how to effective use WEBCT. In addition, it is the student’s
obligation to inform the instructor of difficulties accessing the information
in a timely manner [I will not be able to solve access problems the day before
an exam…most accessing problems require 1-2 days for Information and Technology
Services to solve].
Grading Scale: |
|
A = 92-100% |
C+
= 76-79 % |
A- =
90-91% |
C = 73-75% |
B+ =
86-89% |
C- =
70-72% |
B =
83-85% |
D = 60-69% |
B- =
80-82% |
F < 60% |
Exams will NOT be
curved. Instead, if the class average
on an exam is below 65%, a "curve assignment" will be given [and available
only on WEBCT] targeting the area(s) of the exam with the lowest class-wide
performance. This extra work will be
added to each individual's exam grade.
Keep in mind that if you perform well on the exam (as a class), you will
not receive extra work. This policy
does not apply to the final. Lab exam
material should not be curved, therefore any lab practical topics included in
any curve assignment will be included on the final practical, which will not be
curved or scale adjusted.

This schedule
is tentative and subject to change during the quarter. The topics are in an order that will allow you
have a chance to read the chapters before attending lecture. Refer to the WEBCT calendar for any changes
in the schedule. Exam dates are not
subject to change, check WEBCT Exam topics for the material that will be
covered for each exam. Exams are administered
during your assigned lab sections: you must obtain permission from the lab
instructor to attend another lab section exam.
If you miss your assigned exam section and the section in which you plan
to take the exam is full, then you must find and attend a different non-filled
lab section to take the exam. Due to
the practical set-up for the exams, there are no make-up exams.
Course Description and Objectives Fall 2004
BIOL
250 Human Anatomy (5) Major structures of the human body with an emphasis
on the integration of histology and gross anatomy of the skeletal, muscular,
nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, reproductive and
endocrine systems. Not acceptable for the major or minor. Three hours lecture
and six hours laboratory.
Course Description
Human Anatomy is a sophomore level, pre-professional lecture/lab
course that provides an introduction to histology (the study of tissues) and
human gross anatomy (study of organs and organ systems), with an emphasis on laboratory
experience. Cat dissection, along with other animal organs, will be used
to supplement your study of human anatomy with models. The overall goal
is to provide you with the base of knowledge necessary for further education in
health-related fields. This course is designed for non-Biology majors and is
not applicable to Biology majors, nor does it satisfy general education
requirements.
Course Objectives: upon completion this course, a student should
be able to:
·
Describe
and apply anatomical terminology.
·
Describe
multicellular organization.
·
Identify
and describe the structure of the major tissue types, and outline their
functions.
·
Describe
the structure and function of the Integumentary system.
·
Identify
the structures and describe the functions of the skeletal system.
·
Identify
the structures and describe the functions of the muscular system.
·
Identify
the structures and describe the general functions of the nervous system.
·
Identify
the structures, locations, and regulation of the body’s various endocrine cells
and glands.
·
Identify
the structures and describe the functions of the cardiovascular system.
·
Identify
the structures and describe the functions of the lymphatic system.
·
Identify
the structures of the respiratory system and how these structures are involved
in breathing.
·
Identify
the structures of the digestive system.
·
Identify
the structures of the urinary system.
·
Identify
the structures and functions of the male and female reproductive systems.
·
Describe
the various stages of embryonic and fetal development.
Course workload expectations:
this course uses written and practical examination as the method of assessing
student understanding of the course material.
However, there are additional workload requirements that are expected of
students to successfully complete and demonstrate understanding the course
material.
·
Manage your time well. You should expect to devote 2--3 hours of study per week for each
hour spent in class, which calculates to approximately 14-20 hours/ week. Although there are no point value
assignments for the class you are expected to study the course material even if
assignments are not explicitly given.
·
Missing a lecture or lab. DON’T! There is simply too much material covered too rapidly
to catch up if you get behind. Skipping class and relying on the web-posted
notes is a guaranteed recipe for failure. If you miss a lab, get in there and
cover the material before the next scheduled session.
·
Keep up by studying regularly. This is not the kind of course that you can survive by waiting
until the week before an exam to study. You must drill on the material as it is
presented. Your nervous system will simply overheat and shut down (perhaps not
an anatomically nor physiologically correct explanation) if you try to learn it
all the day or two before an exam.
·
Practice! Practice! Practice! After learning your notes, put yourself in a test situation by
answering each chapter’s review questions, the text’s website chapter quizzes,
and my sample exams (posted on my website). For lab, force yourself to study in
the lab room several times a week over the actual lab materials. Set up sample
practical exams with a classmate to quiz yourself.
·
If you’re having difficulty, get help early. My job is to
help you learn anatomy. The sooner you seek help, the more options we have to
improve your learning.
