COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES:
This course focuses on the biological organization of the animal body with emphasis on human beings.
Discussions include both anatomical and physiological characteristics of organ systems,specially
Cardiovascular,Lymphatic,Respiratory,Digestive,Urinary,Fluid-Electrolytes,and Acid-base dynamics,
Endocrine,Reproductive,Development & Inheritance,etc.,. The objective of this course is to give the students
the knowledge of biological sciences,especially those entering in nursing,allied health sciences and biology
majors. In order to do well in class,students have certain responsibilities such as taking useful notes in
lecture classes,reading and studying the assigned materials of both lecture and lab,participation in classroom
discussions and activities,etc.,.
PREREQUISITE: Anatomy & Physiology –1 is required.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. LAB EXERCISE AND LAB REPORTS:
a. Lab reports & grades : Original reports are due one class after completion of the exercise and grades are
determined by completeness and accuracy. Grades:10-above average;7-average;3-below average;0-v.poor.
b. Lab report grade will decline 50% from the grade for absence in lab. Also decline 50% for the one class
late submission,from the grade they would have received (0= for more than 2 class late).
c. Although the students work in groups,individual active participation is expected, You are responsible for
the completion of individual lab report. Two lab exams-reviews and exams are mandatory on the
assigned dates. Absentees will receive ‘0’ in that lab exam. Includes spot test,diagrams to label,
question& answers and multiple choice.
d. You must read the lab safety rules and sign the lab.safety release form by first or second day of the course.
2. Textbook and lab manual,are required. (study guide is optional). This is a very informative,demanding/
challenging course. Students need to spend 2 hrs minimum daily at home to achieve success.
3. Smoking,eating or drinking is not allowed in the class or lab.
-24. Class attendance is required as per rule and for student success. Students with four unexcused cuts may
result in administrative withdrawal. i.e. 12.5% attendance in a semester (12hrs absence in your courseHCC attendance policy). TARDINESS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Attendance sheet must be
signed daily at the end of the class. Students are responsible for the materials or announcements missed
during the lecture or lab time.
5. NO MAKE UPS FOR LABORATORIES,WEEKLY QUIZZES if any,and for the LAB EXAMS.
Lecture exams- 4th exam will be given as make up exam. Professor provides 4 lecture exams on
specific dates,instead of 3, lowest or make up will be dropped).
6. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY/DISRUPTIONS- Cheating in any manner is not allowed. If cheating is
suspected,the student will receive an “F”for the course. (no second chance). Disruptive or mis-behaviors
and arguments of students will not be tolerated . Immediate action will be taken(student discontinue
the course).
7. Six basic intellectual competencies in the HCCS core curriculum (reading/writing,speaking/listening,
critical thinking/computer literacy,are covered throughout this course from time to time.
8. Learning activities and helpful hints for studies in science.
a. Be prompt- Students must enter the classroom quietly and be in their seats from the beginning of the
class. Try not to miss any class.
b. Be prepared- Students must have their books,class supplies and materials ( egs. # 2 pencils.sharpners,
erasers,scantrons,note books,staple pin,etc.,) ready for use every day.
c. Be responsible- Students-follow directions and remain on task. Read the chapters that cover the lecture,before the material
is presented in lecture (before lecture class) and watch for the terms,figures, etc.,. Do all assignments including lab report
answers on time. Read over the lecture notes,rewrite if necessary when sit with the text book or lab manual. For every hour of
lecture notes taken,you must put in at least two to three hours of study time in order to master the topics. Transfer your notes
to 3”X 5”flash cards. Each card represent a review vocabulary word or an important concept,definitions,etc.,.
Each student is responsible for obtaining class notes,assignments,etc.,if any class missed. In the first week of class,exchange
phone numbers with several other students so that if you are absent,you will be able to obtain the class notes missed.
Please,come to class with a positive attitude to learn science course rather than “hating a science course” & blaming others for
own mistakes.
d. Be respectful- Students-treat their professors,fellow students & their property with respect & dignity.
e. Be successful- Students-be active learners,stay on task and respect every one’s right to learn. Also, use libraries,tutoring
facility for the subject ( if needed),forming small study groups,etc.,are helpful to learn difficult concepts. If there is “will”,
there is a “way”. More over,science courses are demanding because of the amount of information that must be studied in a
growing field. The way to achieve a good grade is simple,but time consuming. So the most important method of studying is to
KEEP UP,with all of the above 5 golden rules,thus obtain your goal by “NO PAIN NO GAIN” principle.
9. Radios,tape recorders,telephones,beeper,etc., are not allowed in class. Cell phones and beepers must be
turned OFF during the whole class time for lecture,lab and exams,and must be kept away from your
body (not in pocket/hands. Tape recorders may be used in class with special permission from your
professor).
10. Students with any special needs,please inform the instructor early as possible. (illness,emergencies,etc.,
ADA/ADD students need explanation letter,so that professor can handle the case as reasonable as possible.
11. Students must keep the communication channel open with your professor daily. Any problems or issues
related to the course/class/teaching/notes,grades,etc.,must be directly addressed in writing or in
person first to the professor,then only she’ll try to solve the same in a fair manner. Otherwise,
professor is not responsible to solve the matter. All students must involve in discussions and activities
in the classroom for student success. More over,professor is available as an academic advisor/or mentor.
12. Students who repeat a course for a third or more times (threepeaters) may soon face significant tuition/fee
increase at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please ask your professor/counsellor
about opportunities for tutoring/other assistance prior to considering course withdrawal or if you are not
receiving passing grades.
