Description: This course is a systems-based introduction to the human body with study of structure and functioning of all human organ systems. This is a sophomore level course and does not meet the general education requirements. The pre-requisites for this course include any one of the following: Biology 101, 103, 112; Chemistry 101, 103, 105.
Course Objectives: I try to foster a nurturing and challenging learning environment which will encourage the personal and intellectual growth of all students. In this course, you should be able to:
1) read and understand the assigned chapters in the textbook
2) explain basic physiological concepts
3) integrate these physiological concepts into a working model of the human body
4) participate actively in team work and class discussions
5) learn the assigned anatomical structures on the cats, cadavers, and models.
6) utilize different dissection techniques
Attendance and Class Participation: Because learning requires cooperation, attendance as well as class participation in lecture and lab is mandatory. If you have more than 5 absences in lecture, you will be asked to drop the course. If you have 2 or more excused absences in lab, your final grade will be lowered by at least half a grade.
MAKE-UP EXAMS AND LABS WILL BE PERMITTED ONLY FOR THE MOST EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES!
Exams: Lecture exams will be multiple choice and short essay. Practical exams will consist of the identification of structures on cats, cadavers, and models. The final exam will be comprehensive.
Homework and Assignments: You are expected to work in assigned teams to complete homework and class assignments. There will be 14 assignments throughout the semester, the lowest score of which will be thrown out. There is no make-up for missed assignments and homework.
Grading: Your grade will be figured from a total point score acquired from individual lecture and lab practical exams. Grades will be figured according to the following percentage scale:
90-100%=A 85-89%=B+ 80-84%=B
75-79%=C+ 70-74%=C 60-69%=D
BELOW 60%=F
General Information:
Tutoring for this course is available through the Student Success Center. There will be open labs and group study sessions. Please talk with someone at the Student Success Center if you wish to have individual tutoring.
Human anatomical specimens will be used in the laboratory portion of this course. The use of these specimens is a valuable experience, and it is necessary to respect such a privilege. There is no better way to learn human anatomy. These are persons who have donated their bodies so that you may learn anatomy. I expect you to behave accordingly. I will be very strict concerning behavior in and around the cadaver lab.
NO ONE is to bring visitors into the lab for any reason. Only those students that are enrolled in the class are allowed in the anatomy lab. NO cell phones should be in sight. Photographic equipment of any kind is not allowed. Anyone who violates this or any other rule will be dropped from the course with a failing grade and may be subject to further action by the University, possibly resulting in their expulsion. Since we must abide by the guidelines established by the University of Iowa Medical Center, any infringement of these guidelines may jeopardize our further use of human specimens.
Proper security measures will be used for the cadaver lab. It will remain locked when not in use. If you would like to study in the cadaver lab outside the regularly scheduled times, you must sign in with me or Dr. Kelley (Lew 203). Be prepared to show your student I.D. THE MAIN ANATOMY LAB SHOULD BE OPEN FOR STUDY DURING REGULAR CLASS HOURS DURING THE WEEK (8:00-5:00). If you wish to use the lab at any other time, you must check in at the security desk in the Rogalski Center, show them your student ID and have them let you in. You must also check out at the same place.
Cats will also be used in the laboratory portion of the course. Since not all of you will have an opportunity to dissect the cadavers this semester, it is imperative that you obtain this dissection experience on the cats. Dissection is a valuable skill that allows you to visualize the three dimensional aspect of the specimen. Cats are chosen for dissection as opposed to other mammals because they closely resemble human anatomy. I believe this "hands on" experience will enhance your learning process.
According to OSHA regulations, all students must wear goggles and gloves while dissecting. Gloves will be provided for you, but goggles must be purchased in the Bookstore.
Students with Disabilities: SAU supports student success by providing a broad range of reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. If you need an accommodation due to a disability, please make arrangements with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.
Remember, I am here to facilitate your learning process, so please come and see me if you have any questions. I want you to be successful in this course!
