A systematic approach to the study of the human body. Clinical and functional relationships of each organ system are emphasized. Lecture and laboratory.
1.
Students will develop an understanding of each of the organ systems, the structures within those systems, and their interrelatedness.
2.
Students will develop an understanding of the appearance and location of fine and gross anatomical structures of the human body.
3.
Students will gain an evolutionary appreciation of the evolutionary connections between human anatomy and that of non-human animals.
4.
Students will acquire a working vocabulary of human anatomical terms.
5.
Students will gain experience in the use of microscopes, dissection, and other biological laboratory techniques.
The primary teaching method of instruction will be lecture. Lecture material will be enhanced with readings, discussions, and class assignments. Laboratory activities will In both lecture and lab, students are encouraged to participate through comments and questions. Students are responsible for all material covered unless advised otherwise.
In addition to the typical lecture material, this class will use unique ways to help the student learn, understand, and apply anatomy. These will be announced throughout the semester and schedules provided when possible. Many of these additional experiences will take place during the laboratory time.
The study of anatomy requires certain academic and analytical skills such as the ability to visualize in three dimensions and the ability to integrate structural and functional concepts. Notably, it also requires the ability to memorize a large amount of material in a relatively short period of time. The instructor will be available to assist students as much as possible, but the course also demands work outside the classroom and lab. Success demands a high degree of self-discipline, motivation, and a significant commitment of time and energy.

Regular attendance is strongly encouraged in both lecture and lab. Although no credit is given for attendance per se , your presence and participation are essential to learning the material and succeeding in this course. In addition, missing class usually means missing assignments, quizzes, or exams. The instructor may automatically withdraw (AW) a student from the course as a result of excessive absences from lecture and/or laboratory sessions.
Lab exams and lab activities cannot be made-up under any circumstances. Makeup exams and late assignments in lecture will be allowed only in extenuating circumstances, such as family crisis or illness.
In the event of an absence, students are responsible for contacting the instructor to make arrangements as soon as possible. If contact is not made in a timely manner (preferably on or before the due date), the make-up exam or late assignment will not be accepted.

General Education courses at TCC ensure that our graduates gain skills, knowledge, and abilities that comprise a common foundation for their higher education and a backdrop for their work and personal lives.
TCC’s General Education goals are: Critical Thinking, Effective Communication, Engaged Learning, and
Technological Proficiency.
: a.
Email communications: All TCC students receive a designated “MyTCC” email address (ex: jane.doe@mail.tulsacc.edu
). All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course. b.
Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency situations arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations. This information is also posted on the TCC website ( www.tulsacc.edu
).

Open and mutually respectful communication of varied opinions, beliefs, and perspectives during classroom or online discussion encourages the free exchange of ideas that is essential to higher learning and to the ability to learn from each other. Please be respectful and treat other students and the instructor as you would wish to be treated.

Please turn off all phones and other cellular devices. Use of all other electronic device is at the discretion of the instructor.

No food or drinks are allowed in the lab. No children are allowed in lecture or in lab at any time.
TCC provides accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act. For information, students may contact the disabled Student Resource Center, 918-595-7115, or the

Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the
Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
3


Ask the student to redo an assignment/test or a substitute assignment/test;

Record a "zero" for the assignment/test in question;

Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class;

Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting request to the Dean of
Student Services.
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, the TCC
Student Policies & Resources Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing.
