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 and demonstration of their
functions via simple testing. Anatomical models, prepared microscope slides, dissections 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.

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-see SMCC polices below)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Students can contact the Registrar and request an AF grade be changed to "W" (withdrawn) if done before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 to 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 and labs 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.

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. Lab reports are due the day of the lab by the end of the lab period. All late
work will be graded at 50% maximum value. No late work will be accepted after the assignments are
returned to the rest of the class. Make-up tests will rarely be given and only for documented, legitimate
reasons set up ahead of the scheduled test time. In any event, make-up tests must be taken within one
week of the original test date. Lab Practicals cannot be made up.
Lab Safety . Follow the lab safety policies outlined in Blackboard, your lab manual or as instructed.
Insure all personal items including backpacks, purses, phones, closed drink containers, etc. are stowed
under the lab benches during lab. Open containers of liquids and open containers/packages of food are not
allowed in the lab room. This includes candy and gum. Enclosed, hard-soled shoes must be worn.
Ways to be successful. Come to class regularly, ask questions, read the text and lab manual ahead of
time, set aside time to study effectively. As you’re aware, one of the biggest continuing challenges with
anatomy and physiology is the vocabulary. Your foundation from A&P I will be very helpful in
understanding the new concepts and vocabulary in this course. Recently, we incorporated new virtual
dissection software called Anatomy and Physiology Revealed v3.0 (APR v3.0). It’s basically a word bank
of thousands of anatomical terms (structures, features, processes, etc.), and each term is linked to
excellent dissection images, animations, and histology images. You can manipulate some of the
dissection images for a deeper view. It’s a user-friendly program that will more quickly help you to
understand the topics and concepts we cover. APR will help you connect concepts you learn to yourself
personally as you study, which will make the course much more meaningful. Constant exposure to the
subject is the best way to continue building your knowledge base in A&P II. What you do here is
ultimately up to you, and if you want to have the greatest chance of success.
General College policies:
1. 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, Sandra Lynham, who can be reached at
741-5923. Further information about services for students with disabilities and the accommodation
process is available upon request at this number. Course policies about online testing are modified to suit
each individual’s accommodations.
2. Student printing policy (new):
This policy identifies the cost per page for black and white as well as color printing in varying page sizes.
Specifics of the policy are outlined below:
Per Page Costs
Each semester students receive a $20 printing credit. The balance resets at the end of the
3
A&P II: SMCC, Spring 2015
Dr. Steven Jury
semester and any remaining credits are removed. The cost varies depending upon page size
and whether printing is done in black and white or color.
a. There is a $0.10 per page fee for standard 8.5” by 11” black and white documents.
b. The reverse sides of duplex (double-sided) documents are free.
c. There is a $.50 per page fee for standard 8.5” by 11” color documents.
d. There is a $.20 per page fee for 8.5” by 14” (legal) or 11” by 17” (tabloid) black and
white
documents.
e. There is a $1.00 per page fee for 8.5” by 14” (legal) or 11” by 17” (tabloid) color
documents.
Duplex charges (printing on both sides of a page) work in the following fashion: One page is
$0.10, two pages are $0.10, three pages are $0.20, and four pages are $0.20, etc. The flipsides
are free, but another sheet of paper is $0.10. Please be aware that a document with any color at
all (when printed to a color printer) will by default be printed in color. You are responsible for
setting the print job to print black and white if you do not need color. For directions, please go
to the IT Help tab in My SMCC.
How does it work?
The College’s pay-for-print system monitors printing on all printers (including those in general
access labs, library printers, the Academic Achievement Center, Noisy Lounge and technology
labs). Students can check the number of pages they have printed by using the Printing Balance
tool available on SMCC computers (located in the lower right corner of the screen, near the
clock). Departments with work study students who need to print documents for the department
should contact the HelpDesk at 741-5696 to have a special account set up.
Refunds
Print jobs are eligible for a refund in the event of mechanical or electronic error on the part of
the printer, print server, or software used to submit the job. Jobs are not eligible for a refund in
cases where the job was not set up correctly, was submitted multiple times, or the student is
not satisfied with the result. To request a refund, please bring the offending print to the IT
Department in the basement of the Ross Technology Center. Refunds will be granted in the
form of a credit to the student’s account.
Why is SMCC charging for printing?
The pay-for-print system is an effort to control escalating printing costs. Charging for printing
helps offset the increasing cost of supplies and encourages students to conserve resources. To
find ways to reduce your printing charges, please go to the IT Help tab on My SMCC. If you
have questions about the pay-for-printing policy or your printing charges, please contact the
HelpDesk at 741-5696 or send an email to helpdesk@smccme.edu.
Be sure to log OUT of the system when you’ve finished your printing, to prevent unauthorized access to
your account.
3. Add-Drop Policy
Students who drop a course during the one-week “drop/add” 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 drop/add period. There is no refund for non-attendance. Remaining enrolled after Drop/Add
4
A&P II: SMCC, Spring 2015
Dr. Steven Jury
week means you understand and accept the requirements, policies, and instructions spelled out in this
syllabus.
4. 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 2nd through 12th week of the fall and spring semesters and the 2nd
through 9th week of 12-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.
5. Plagiarism and cheating statement
Adherence to ethical academic standards is required. 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.
6. Early Alert and Academic Alert:
a. The first four weeks of the semester is the “Early Alert” period. Student progress is monitored
closely during this time. The 5th through the 9th week is the “Academic Alert” period. Student progress
continues to be monitored during this time. Students who are doing below-average work during these
time frames receive an Early Alert and/or Academic Alert grade of “U” (unsatisfactory, below a C).
These alerts are intended to raise students’ awareness about their performance.
b. The U grade is sent to your advisor, who 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. The Early Alert and Academic Alert periods cover the first half of the
semester. If you are still performing unsatisfactorily at mid-term, it may be very difficult to earn a passing
grade.
c. 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 affect your final course grade, obviously, 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. You should calculate your grade often and know where you stand (see “Calculating your
own grade” on page 9).

A&P II: SMCC, Spring 2015
Dr. Steven Jury
d. If your overall course grade is C or above (satisfactory), keep up the good work! You won’t
receive an Early Alert grade or Academic Alert grade, and your advisor won’t notify you.
7. Administrative failure (grade of "AF"):
a. “Administrative failure” is the consequence of three consecutive absences (days), without
notifying the instructor ahead of time as to the reason AND/OR missing work in Blackboard for two
consecutive weeks. An AF grade may also be assigned if course policies are not adhered to.
b. A grade of AF is submitted to the Registrar immediately after the third consecutive absence, or
after the second week of missing work in Blackboard. 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.
c. 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 or W are still financially
responsible for the course.
8. End-of-course evaluation (online):
Students are asked to 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. Evaluations have no effect on your grade. Instructors don't see student comments
until grades have been submitted.
9. SMCC student e-mail:
Use of your SMCC student e-mail is required for all official correspondence.
10. Late start policy
In the event of a late start due to adverse weather, etc., classes scheduled to begin earlier than the late start
time but which run past that time will start late but will meet. For example if the College has a late start at
10:00 a.m. then a class scheduled to meet from 8 AM until noon will now meet from 10 AM to noon.
