Course Syllabus Biology 242 (3, 3) Human Anatomy and Physiology 3-Week Session 2015 Lecture: 8:30-11:30 Instructor: Dr. B. Luke Lab: 12:30 – 3:00 Office: Gymnasium #2 Local: 3703 Course Description: This course is an in depth study of human anatomy and physiology. Emphasis will be placed upon on structure, function, integration and regulatory mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis. There will be special emphasis upon the digestive, lymphatic, urinary, acid-base balance, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems in addition to general and special senses. Prerequisites: Biology 241 or consent of the instructor. Objectives: 1. To provide an insight into the systems and mechanisms of human anatomy and physiology of the major organ systems. 2. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between structure and function of organ systems. 3. To develop a greater appreciation of the complexity and potential of the human body. 4. To obtain a sound understanding of those aspects of anatomy and physiology relating to the following: (a) adaptations to stimuli (b) maintenance of homeostasis under various conditions (c) changes in structure and function under conditions of health, life style, and disease. 5. To demonstrate (in the laboratory) concepts covered in lectures. 6. To develop a Christian perspective of anatomy and physiology in terms of: (a) cultivating an understanding of the inter-relatedness of faith and physiology, and appreciation and reverence for God in view of His magnificent creation. (b) using our biological knowledge/skills to help individuals via the medical or paramedical professions. (c) issues facing professionals in the fields of Human Kinetics and Nursing, and other health science fields. 7. To develop a Christian perspective of human anatomy and physiology. Required Textbook Tortora, G.J. and B. Derrickson. Principles of Anatomy and Physiology. 14th ed. Wiley and Sons, Inc. 2014. Lab Manual: Tortora, G.J.H. and Allen, C. and V. Harper., Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology. 5th ed., Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2014
Labs1. Attendance is mandatory for all laboratory sessions. 2. Lab coat is required by all students. 3. Due to safety concerns open toed shoes are not permitted in the lab.
Attendance/Participation – Laboratory/LectureAttendance at all labs and lecture classes (complete time period) is expected. All students should come prepared and arrive on time to ensure each session is used most effectively. There will be a 5% reduction in the course grade for each unexcused laboratory absence and a 2.5% reduction for each late arrival in lecture and laboratory sessions. Lab assignments are due at the beginning of the next lab. Late assignments will be marked a 50% value. For one day only. An instructor may bar any student from writing the final exam where the student has been absent for mote than ¼ of the classes or laboratory sessions. More than one absence in the lab will result in course failure. To receive credit for the course, a passing grade must be achieved in both the lab and lecture components. Grading System: Lectures Labs
Grading This will follow the University-wide standards with the exception that the A+ is reserved for 93-100%.
Lecture
** Be aware of the change in schedule for Week 2 of Biology 242 – Summer 2015 Successful participation in Biology 242 requires regular attendance and ongoing reading/study of notes and the course text. Please ensure you come prepared for each lecture and lab with necessary supplies including a laboratory coat. For safety reasons there is no food or drink permitted in the labs at any time.
Note: Exams must be written at the assigned times and dates. Technology Use/Classroom Environment Policy in Laboratory and Classroom I believe strongly that it is the responsibility of the instructor to establish and maintain a positive classroom environment most conducive to learning for the majority of the students; therefore, the following policy on technology in the classroom with be firmly applied. All cell phones and other electrical devices will be shut off, placed out of sight (not on lap or desk top) and will not be utilized during the entire class period. Mini-breaks given during class are not times to check emails, text messages etc. This mini-break is intended to give a quick mental refresher. There will be a 10-15 minute break mid way through the lecture each day – if you need to, this is the time to check emails etc.
During all laboratory sessions all cells phones and all other technology devices will be shut off and be out of sight - not on the table top or on lap. Photographs are not permitted in the laboratory sessions. Cell phones and all other technological devices cannot be used for time keeping purposes during any exams and time will not be read out during the exam as this can be disruptive to other students. Please plan ahead for exams.
