After completing these courses, students should be able to: - Use correct anatomical terminology to describe body directions, regions, and planes - Understand the structural hierarchy through which organelles, cells, tissues, and organs are interrelated in both structure and function - Correlate the embryology of organs and systems with their adult structure - Describe the functions and relationships of the major organs of all systems of the human body - Describe the functions and relationships of specific cells and tissues which comprise each organ - Understand the three-dimensional relationships among organs of different systems within each region of the body - Be able to correlate anatomical changes and abnormalities with their physiologic consequences Attendance: We want you to do well in this class, so attendance is required at all lectures and labs. Unannounced quizzes and attendance checks may be used to check attendance and preparation. Except in extraordinary circumstances such as prolonged illness or injury, you may miss three class sessions (for example: one lecture and two labs, or labs on three different days) for any reason without consequences, but your final score may be lowered for each absence after that. If you miss a lab, it will be your responsibility to make that lab up during another scheduled lab for this course or during open lab periods. Lectures and labs are designed to build on, not repeat, textbook material, so all reading assignments, as noted in the "Course Schedule" below, are to be completed before you come to class and I will assume you are already familiar with the material in the text before lecture or lab begins. 1 Classroom Etiquette: During both lecture and lab, we expect that your full attention will be given to the course material and that you will use basic courtesy to fellow students, so you may not use a computer, tablet, or other electronic device during lectures. If you have a cell phone or pager, please turn it off during class and lab. If an emergency arises and you need to leave your pager or cell phone on during class, please inform us of this before class. Approach to the Course: Human Anatomy will not be the easiest course you take in college, but if you approach it correctly it won't be the most difficult either. How much you get out of it depends on how much study time you put into it. Effective study for this course will almost certainly require a different approach than you have used for other courses, so please read the link on the course webpage which discusses how to study effectively for this course. The concepts of anatomy aren't particularly difficult, but there is a lot of material to master and you will not succeed by just attending class or reading the book. You must take good notes and you must study the textbook and your lecture notes (not just read them once or twice) by going over the material again and again until you understand it. It is very important that you don't fall behind in this course - the rapid pace of new material will make it very difficult to catch up. Eight to ten hours devoted to this class each week in addition to lectures and labs is a minimum for students with good study habits; most students will require more. Your short-term memory can hold only a certain amount of information, so change the subject you are studying or take a ten-minute break every half hour or so to allow your brain to move what you have learned to long-term memory. Use your eyes (read), your ears (listen), your muscles (write), and your mouth (discuss) to get material into your brain (learn). Cramming before an exam is rarely successful in any course, but particularly so in this one since you will essentially be learning a new language in addition to concepts of how the human body is organized and functions. Your success is important to us, and we will do everything we can to help you master Anatomy and Physiology, provided you do your part as well. Feel free to come and talk to us about this course and your progress in it before problems arise. We want everyone in the class to earn an “A”. Laboratory: Examination of prepared materials and models and demonstrations will be based on the Wise lab manual and other materials made available before lab. Demonstrations of the dissected cadavers will be done by the instructor - please read the following page on use of the cadavers. You will be required to view an orientation video sign a Cadaver Lab Student Agreement form. Safe laboratory habits are required at all times whether or not experiments or demonstrations are in progress. Absolutely no food or drink (including water bottles) may be brought into the lab and you should wash your hands immediately after each lab period. You will be required to sign a Lab Safety Contract to confirm that you understand and will follow safe laboratory procedures. No models, specimens, or equipment are to be removed from the lab except by an instructor, and the cadaver's face and genitals are to be covered unless they are being studied. Many lab exercises can be completed in less than the scheduled lab period, and you are expected to use the remaining time each session to review material from previous labs. A limited number of “open” lab times will be scheduled when you may come in and review material, but you should not count on this as your major time to learn. In order to encourage early study (and discourage last-minute cramming), open labs will generally not be scheduled within 2 or 3 days of a lab exam. 2 Exams: Four Lecture Exams will be given on the dates noted in the schedule below, and a comprehensive Final Exam will be given during finals week as noted. Each exam will include single-best-answer (similar but not identical to "multiple choice"), matching, short answer, and short essay questions. The cumulative final exam may include some longer essay questions. All questions on the lecture exams will be written from information presented verbally in class, which may or may not also be on the PowerPoint slides. We would also consider it "fair" to ask questions to determine how well you correlate the information in your textbook with information presented in lecture. Thus, it is important that your notes include both types of information from lecture, not just that which is projected on the screen, and that you compare that information with what is in your textbook. Five Lab Exams will be given on the dates noted in the schedule below. These will include identification of structures on slides, models, dissected cats, and the cadaver as well as questions about the functions of these structures and definitions of important words or terms of anatomy. All exams and quizzes must be taken as scheduled. Make-up exams will be given only if we are convinced that missing the exam was completely beyond your control and this is documented as described here. Please note that travel, including vacations and returning from off-campus locations, are considered to be within your control so you will want to schedule enough time to account for poor weather. Make-up exams will usually be comprehensive short answer and/or essay questions, which most students find more difficult than other types. Any questions about answers or scores on an exam must be brought to our attention within one week after answer sheets for that exam are returned to you. Grading: Exams will be graded with numerical scores as follows: Lecture Exam #1 Lab Exam #1 Lab Exam #2 Lecture Exam #2 Lab Exam #3 Lecture Exam #3 Lab Exam #4 Lab Exam #5 Lecture Exam #4 Final Exam . . . TOTAL . . . . . . . September 16 September 17 September 22 October 7 October 13 November 4 November 10 December 1 December 4 December 10 ............ 50 points 50 points 50 points 50 points 50 points 50 points 50 points 50 points 50 points 100 points 550 points Letter grades will be assigned only at the end of the course. These grades will be "curved" by calculating the number of points necessary to bring the top student in the class up to the full 550 points and then adding this number of points to the scores of all students who have regularly attended lectures and labs. Additional points may be deducted from the scores of students who have not regularly attended. In general, grades will be given as 91-100% = A, 81-90% = B, 71-80% = C, 61-70% = D, and <61% = F. However, we reserve the right to raise or lower the grade of anyone up to 20 points in extraordinary circumstances. As noted below, cheating, whether seeking or giving assistance during an exam, will result in a score of "0" for both people involved; a second incident will result in a course grade of "F" for both. 3 Academic Integrity: Unfortunately, there may be times when you may be tempted to seek an unfair advantage (that is, cheat) on exams in this or other classes. Don’t. All students at Winona State University are expected to be familiar with and to follow the university’s Academic Integrity Policy which is available in the Academic Policies & University Requirements section of the online undergraduate catalog. You may be assigned seats for exams and you will not be allowed to bring any electronic devices to them. This specifically includes computers, cell phones, tablets, pagers, and electronic translators for international students. If you require one of these or other accommodations during exams, be sure you contact the instructor at least a week before each exam so that other arrangements can be made. Any violation of the academic integrity policy will result in a score of "0" for all students involved; a second incident will result in a course grade of "F”. In compliance with the College of Science and Engineering Academic Integrity Policy all instances of dishonesty will also be reported to your academic advisor, the chair of your major department, the Office of Student Life & Development, and the University’s Director of Conduct & Citizenship. Special Circumstances: We recognize that some students have special circumstances which can affect your performance in this class such as disabilities, health concerns, and parenting responsibilities. We are willing to provide some flexibility on attendance and exams if we are aware of these in sufficient time to make appropriate accommodations. Please e-mail Dr. Thompson or stop by his office and discuss these early in the course. The course homepage includes a link to a page which provides Links to WSU Resources for students needing additional help.
