Course Objectives:
To develop a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body so
that the student is not only aware of the structure and function of the individual parts, but that
he/she will also have a realization of the human body acting as a unified organism.
Students will be able to:
a. Learn basic human anatomy and physiology of the following systems:
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, circulatory,
lymphatic and immune systems.
b. Identify major bones, ligaments, and tendons in the skeleton.
c. Identify major muscle groups and movements associated with them.
d. Identify major components of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive,
urinary, and reproductive systems.
e. Learn basic techniques of dissection.
f. Understand the interrelationships of the various systems
7.
Student Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course a student should be able to:
a. Critically analyze biological information
b. Organize and synthesize biological information into a logical sequence
c. Communicate clearly and in organized fashion in writing
d. Use graphs, charts and tables for written presentation
e. Use information systems in the library to locate biological source material
f. Use computer programs for word processing and elementary data analysis
g. Work effectively with others

All chapters
This is a tentative schedule; there may be some changes depending on how we proceed.
Lecture grades will be determined by three tests worth 100 points each and a cumulative final
worth 150 points. The tests will be announced in advance. There will be extra credit
opportunities on the tests. In addition, there will be 5, 20-point, do at home, quizzes for an
additional 100 points. For the semester, there are 550 total points possible to earn. Final lecture
grade will be based on number of points earned out of total possible.
Chapters in the text should be read prior to the discussion in class. Learning objectives for each
chapter will be provided ahead of time on blackboard. Writing out the answers to the learning
objectives and handing them in on the day of the test will result in extra credit points. Tests and
quizzes are based on the learning objectives. Review sessions for the tests will be held prior to
the test, most likely during common hour.
The lecture portion of the class will account for 75% of the grade while lab will account for 25%
of the final grade. However, students must pass both portions in order to pass the class.
Last day to withdraw from class without academic penalty is April 9.
Students are expected to attend lecture regularly. You should arrive on time, ready to begin.
Cell phones should be silenced and put away. Private conversations are a distraction to the
lecturer and other students in class. Therefore, your attention should be on the speaker. No
one should leave the room during class. There will be a break halfway through the lecture
during which you can leave for the restrooms. If everyone follows these basic rules of courtesy,
we will all benefit.

*Thursday, February 20, is a Monday schedule, no lab.
The labs will run in the above order although there may be some flexibility. The lab grade will
be based on weekly quizzes (worth 10 points), three 100-point lab practical tests and a review
of your lab manuals. The lab grade is worth 25% of your final A&P grade. However, you must
pass lab in order to pass the course.
Attendance at lab is mandatory. Class will start on time. Quizzes are given at the start of class
so coming late will result in missing a quiz. Please do not bring any food or drink into the lab
–including water bottles. It is not permitted.
Anyone needing additional help should use the tutoring center in the Science Enrichment
Center in Science Hall East room 3023. The last day to academically withdraw from a course is
April 9.
