Course description: This four-credit lecture/lab course is a continuation of BIOL 132, building on many of the fundamentals. Emphasis will be on the structure and function of the following organ systems in the human body: nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive. The laboratory portion complements and reinforces the lecture, focusing on closer examination of these system structures via live and virtual dissection, and demonstration of their functions via simple testing. Anatomical models, prepared microscope slides, and online resources may also be incorporated. Prerequisite: BIOL 132
Anatomy and Physiology I with Lab, or BIOL 130 Anatomy and Physiology I and BIOL 131
Anatomy and Physiology I Lab. Corequisite(s): None.
Texts: Hole’s Human Anatomy and Physiology , 13 th
edition, Shier, Butler, and Lewis.
Laboratory manual: Hole’s Human Anatomy and Physiology
, 13 th
edition, Martin.
Course objectives: After successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
 apply the scientific method of inquiry.
 understand anatomical vocabulary.
 distinguish and characterize the major components of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems.
 explain how each of the above systems functions individually and together.
 perform the lab experiments/activities safely, using selected supplies and equipment.

Course policies:
Student responsibilities:
Preparedness: Students must come to class having completed all assignments and readings. This course is meant to be an interactive course and the only way students can participate fully is to come to class prepared. As is typical of science courses, each topic builds on material covered previously. If you get behind, it will be very difficult or impossible to catch up.
Participation: Students are expected to participate in class discussions and activities. Some of the work we’ll do this semester will be done in groups and will require cooperation and active participation by all.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory and will be taken at every class. A sign-in sheet will be provided and it is the student’s responsibility to sign in either before or after (i.e. not during ) class. Students are not penalized for legitimate, unavoidable absences ( e.g. illness, legal/medical appointments). It is the student’s responsibility to provide proper verification for these absences
( e.g. doctor’s note). Each student can have one unexcused absence for the semester; after that, each absence will result in a 1% deduction from the student’s final average.
In addition, students can be assigned a grade of AF (academic failure) as the consequence of missing three consecutive class sessions at any time during the course without notifying the instructor beforehand or contacting the instructor to provide a legitimate reason for the absences.
Students can contact the Registrar and request an AF grade be changed to "W" (withdrawn) if done before the final drop date. Students earning an AF are still financially responsible for the course.
Coming to class late on a regular basis is not acceptable. It is disruptive to those who are responsible enough to come on time. Should you on rare occasions come to class after it starts, enter quietly and sit down. It is your responsibility to obtain any information you missed after class either from other students or the instructor. Leaving class prior before the end of the scheduled period is not acceptable unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.
The exception to this is, of course, if you become ill during class. If you must leave for that reason, please see the instructor before the next class meeting to explain the situation. Classes may on occasion end before the fully allotted class time. Do not plan on this, however. Expect to spend the full class period in class each day.
Instructor responsibilities:
Preparedness: An instructor is responsible for being prepared for all classes and labs.
Direction: Students have a right to understand what the instructor expects them to do, know, and accomplish during the course. If at any time it is not clear to you what is expected, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.

Availability: An instructor must be accessible to students. You can contact me before or after class, or by email, by phone, or by appointment. I will make every effort to schedule appointments with students at a time that is convenient for them.
Return of assigned materials: All assignments handed in will be corrected and returned to the students in a timely manner. This usually will mean no later than one week from the time the work was handed in.
General College policies:
ADA Syllabus Statement
Southern Maine Community College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution and employer. For more information, please call 207-741-5798.
If you have a disabling condition and wish to request accommodations in order to have reasonable access to the programs and services offered by SMCC, you must register with the disability services coordinator, Mark Krogman, who can be reached at 741-5629. There will be some documentation for your teachers that must be supplied before accommodations can be given. Further information about services for students with disabilities and the accommodation process is available upon request at this number.
SMCC Pay-for-Print Policy
Students can print 150 pages per semester free of charge. If you print over 150 pages, you will be charged 10 cents per page to your student billing account for tuition and fees. Leftover pages from each semester will not be rolled over to the following semester. The College’s pay-for-print system monitors printing on all public printers ( i.e
., those in general access labs, library printers, the Academic Achievement Center, Noisy Lounge, and technology labs). Each time you log in to the system, the print station displays the remaining print quota. Once the printing quota has been exceeded, users will be charged 10 cents per page or 5 cents per side if the printer prints on both sides on their student accounts on a monthly basis. Color printouts will be charged at 11 page units. This means each color printout will count as 11 pages toward the quota and will cost
$1.10.
Be sure to log OUT of the system when you’ve finished your printing, to prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Add-Drop Policy
Students who drop a course during the one-week “add/drop” period in the fall and spring semesters and the first three days of summer sessions receive a 100% refund of the tuition and associated fees for that course. Please note any course that meets for less than the traditional semester length, i.e., 15 weeks, has a pro-rated add/drop period. There is no refund for nonattendance. Remaining enrolled after Drop/Add week means you understand and accept the requirements, policies, and instructions spelled out in this syllabus.

Withdrawal Policy
A student may withdraw from a course only during the semester in which s/he is registered for that course. The withdrawal period is the second through twelfth week of the fall and spring semesters and the second through ninth week of twelve-week summer courses. This period is pro-rated for shorter-length courses. To withdraw from a course, a student must complete and submit the appropriate course withdrawal form, available at the Enrollment Service Center (no phone calls, please). The designation “W” will appear on the transcript after a student has officially withdrawn. A course withdrawal is an uncompleted course and may adversely affect financial aid eligibility. Failure to attend or ceasing to attend class does not constitute withdrawal from the course. There is no refund associated with a withdrawal.
Plagiarism and cheating statement
Adherence to ethical academic standards is obligatory. Cheating is a serious offense, whether it consists of taking credit for work done by another person or doing work for which another person will receive credit. Taking and using the ideas or writings of another person without clearly and fully crediting the source is plagiarism and violates the academic code as well as the
Student Code of Conduct. If it is suspected that a student in any course in which s/he is enrolled has knowingly committed such a violation, the faculty member should refer the matter to the
College’s Disciplinary Officer and appropriate action will be taken under the Student Code of
Conduct. Sanctions may include suspension from the course and a failing grade in the course.
Students have the right to appeal these actions to the Disciplinary Committee under the terms outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
Anyone who is found to be cheating on a test will automatically receive a zero for that test.
There will be no make-ups or “do-overs” available nor will there be any opportunity to do extra work to compensate for the mark of zero assigned.
Cell phones.
Cell phones are not to be used during class for calls or texting except for emergencies. Please put your cell phone on vibrate during class time.
Late work and missed tests . Work turned in after the due date will be assessed a 10% grade reduction for each day it is late. No late work will be accepted after the assignments are returned to the rest of the class. Make-up tests will be given only for documented, legitimate reasons. All make-up tests must be taken during the next scheduled class period following the test date unless other arrangements have been made with the instructor before that next class occurs. In any event, make-up tests must be taken within one week of the original test date. All make-up tests are closed-book essay tests.

End-of-Course Evaluation
In order to gain access to final course grades, students must complete evaluations for each course attended at SMCC. Evaluations are submitted online and can be accessed through the student portal site. Students can access the course evaluation report beginning two weeks before the end of classes. The deadline for submission of evaluations occurs 24 hours after the last day of classes each semester. Instructors will announce when the online course evaluation is available.
Academic failure (grade of “AF”):
“Academic failure” is the consequence of three consecutive absences, without notifying the instructor ahead of time as to the reason.
A grade of AF is submitted to the Registrar immediately after the third consecutive absence.
Basically, an AF grade drops the student from the course. The student may then contact the instructor to request reinstatement in the course. Reinstatement is at the instructor’s discretion and is generally not granted because too much work has been missed by that time.
An AF student can contact the Registrar and request that the grade be changed to “W”
(withdrawn) if done before the final drop date. Students earning an AF are still financially responsible for the course.
Early Alert and Academic Alert:
The first four weeks of the semester is the “Early Alert” period. Student progress is monitored closely during this time. The 5 th
through the 9 th
week is the “Academic Alert” period. Student progress continues to be monitored during this time, essentially halfway through the semester.
These alerts raise students’ awareness about their performance.
If your overall course grade is below a C at the end of either the Early Alert or Academic Alert period, you will be assigned a grade of “U” (unsatisfactory) and your advisor will be notified.
Your advisor will notify you about scheduling a meeting to discuss strategies for improvement.
Think about specific ways you can improve your performance and take these ideas with you to the meeting.
If your overall course grade is C or above (satisfactory), no grade will be assigned and your advisor will not notify you.
These alert grades do not change. They do not become part of your permanent record and no other schools have access to them. They only reflect your performance for those time frames.
However, these grades DO eventually affect your final course grade, of course, because your course grade continues to change as the semester progresses and you complete more work. Your final course grade may be different from your Early Alert and Academic Alert grades, i.e
., higher, lower, or the same, depending on your performance.
