Course
Description
(Prerequisites:
A combination of either BIO 123L/124L or
BIOL 201 and CHEM 111L or CHEM 121L). Anatomy and Physiology I is an integrated
study of human structure and function that covers histology, and the
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. BIOL 237 is a
major's-level course designed to meet the needs of students primarily in the
allied health sciences, and its curriculum and testing is oriented toward those
students. It is NOT an introductory
level course. There is an accompanying laboratory, BIOL 247L. These courses are
designed to complement one another and it is strongly suggested that they be
taken together.
Course Goal: The goal of this course is to prepare students
with the knowledge and skills needed for success in their professional programs
in the health sciences and related fields.
Course
Objectives:
Upon completion
of this course, students will be able to:
·
Identify and describe the major anatomical
features of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.
·
Identify and describe the functional
characteristics of the major tissues of the human body.
·
Integrate the anatomy and physiology of the
organ systems.
·
Infer function from anatomical structure.
·
Describe the roles of the organ systems in
maintaining homeostasis.
·
Critically discuss the physiological processes
of the above systems.
·
Answer questions of an analytical nature and
formulate solutions to analytical problems.
Course
Requirements and Policies
Students are
expected to attend class and are responsible for obtaining information about
missed work and assignments or announcements. Students wishing to withdraw must
do so through I-tel. All withdrawals by July 18th, 2008. automatically will receive a WP. After that
date students must receive approval of college dean and will receive WP or WF
as appropriate. See web page for details regarding a grade of Incomplete.

classroom participation.
Grading
Procedure:
Ten online Quizzes will be given worth 10 points each. Online quizzes
may be taken twice (higher score counts) and are "open book". There will be 8 assignments
worth 5 points each (40 pts), submitted via WebCT. A 100-point
in-class Midterm will be given, plus a 200-point in-class Final Exam, a portion
of which is cumulative. 10 points
will be given for participation, which will include both in-class and online
activities. Final grade will be based on points earned out of 450 possible: 441-450
= A+, 405-441 = A, 400-405 = A-, 396-400 = B+, 360-396 = B, 355-360 = B-, 351-355
= C+, 315-351 = C, 310-315 = C-, 306-310 = D+, 270-306 = D, 261-270 = D-, <261
= F. There will be no makeup tests. Plan ahead to make sure you are able to
take the midterm and the final exam. Any extra points which may be available
will be added to total points earned.
NOTE: Extra points cannot
be used to produce an A+. The A+ is reserved for the top 2% of the class, at
the instructor's discretion.
