Catalog Description: BS 104
Studies the major anatomical and functional aspects of the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive,
urinary, and reproductive systems, as well as nutrition, metabolism, and acid-base balance, and
homeostatic mechanisms. Laboratory exercises include anatomical dissections, microscopic study and
physiology activities.

Contact Hours: 3 hours lecture; 3 hours laboratory
VII.
Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of BS-104 the student should be able to:
a. demonstrate an understanding of the anatomy of the organ systems studied in this course.
This will be assessed using embedded questions in the final examination
b. understand the physiologic mechanisms that govern the organ systems studied in this course.
This will be assessed using embedded questions in the final examination
c. develop a large technical vocabulary of anatomy and medical terminology.
This will be assessed using embedded questions in the final examination
d. identify the internal and external organs and characteristics of the cat and of the sheep heart.
This will be assessed by dissecting preserved cats and preserved sheep hearts, and by performing simulated dissection
exercises. Practical as well as written laboratory examinations on the cat anatomy and the heart anatomy will
assess student knowledge of these structures.
e. write a paper, by answering specific questions from the textbook.
This will be assessed by the quality of the written answers.

Exams
There will be four lecture exams. Each will include specified material from lecture. The lowest
grade will be dropped from the average of any student who takes all four exams. The average of the
three best exam scores will be worth 40% of the overall course grade. If a student misses an exam for
any reason, this exam will become the ‘dropped’ grade, and that student must take the other three exams.
If a student misses more than one exam, the second one missed becomes a “0” (zero) and is averaged in
4
as such. There are absolutely no makeup exams given. In addition, a student who arrives late
for an exam may not be admitted. When an exam is being administered, all book bags, back packs,
cell phones, pocket books and other personal belongings must be left in the front of the classroom. Cell
phones must be turned off. All that a student should bring to his chair are a pen and a pencil.
c)
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend ALL lectures and ALL lab sessions. In addition, punctuality is
required. The late arrival of a student causes a disruption to the lecture, discussion, or questions that are
being asked and answered, and is therefore unfair to everyone. If students do not respect my request for
punctuality, I will start closing the classroom door after class begins and no one else will be admitted.
Repeated absences (in excess of three) may result in a loss of 5 points (5%) from the final grade
average.
d)
Papers:
There will be one paper assigned during this semester. The assignment will be given on the first
day of class, and the due date will be established at that time. Papers will never be accepted late. The
grade for the written assignment will be worth 10% of the overall course grade.
e)
Laboratory:
Students are expected to attend every lab and to maximize use of lab time. This is the only time
for "hands on" experiences which will be vital for learning the material presented in the course. Basic
laboratory procedure includes proper handling of equipment, careful handling of the various specimens
and models, and routine cleanup during and after dissections. Slobs will not be tolerated in lab! You
must clean up after yourself!
Laboratory homework will be assigned from the Marieb Laboratory Book, and from other
sources. Assignments will be clearly identified during lab, and will be due at the beginning of the lab the
following week.
There will be several laboratory quizzes during the semester, which will be announced one week
in advance. Grades for these laboratory quizzes will be averaged and will total 10% of the overall course
grade.
There will be two laboratory exams. These will be explained in advance of the scheduled dates.
The grades for these two exams will be averaged and will total 15% of the overall course grade.
f)
Comprehensive Final Examination
There will be a final comprehensive examination during the last week. It will cover all of the
material from the semester, and will be worth 25% of the overall course grade. This exam must be taken
when scheduled. This grade cannot be dropped. Please note that this exam will not be given early,
so do not make travel or vacation plans that will prevent your being in Paterson through the 20th
of December.
g)
Cheating
Cheating will absolutely not be tolerated in this class. Every student will have to sign a
disclaimer stating that they have not cheated, each time there is a lecture or laboratory examination. A
5
student who is caught cheating will get an automatic “0” on that exam, and may be dismissed from the
course.
XI.
Tutoring:
Tutoring as well as open-study laboratory sessions are provided for students who may be having
problems with BS 104. All students are encouraged to attend. Information about tutoring hours and services
will be established within the first two weeks of the semester.
XII.
Preparation for Class
The schedule for lectures and laboratories is provided in this document. Students are expected to
prepare for class by reading the material in advance. The only way to successfully absorb the material covered in
this semester is to prepare for every lecture and laboratory session, and to attend every lecture and laboratory
session.

XIV. Disabilities
If you have a disability and believe you need accommodations in my classroom, please see your
counselor, in the Counseling Department. If you require testing accommodations, you must notify me one week
in advance of the test.
XV. Cellular Phones
Please turn your cell phone off before you come to class. Even “vibrating” phones are extraordinarily
distracting, especially when followed by a hurried exit from the class by someone who “has to” take an
“urgent call.” I don’t even bring my phone with me. Thank you for respecting this.
XVI. Children
Children will not be permitted to come to class or laboratory sessions. Material discussed during lecture
may be inappropriate for children, children may cause a distraction during an exam, and laboratories are
completely unsafe for children.
XVII. Portal
Assignments, outlines, the course syllabus, and other information for this course are posted on the portal. With
the exception of the first lecture, hard copies of lecture outlines will not be distributed in class. Instead, students
are expected to download the outlines from the portal and make copies for themselves. Lecture outlines should
be printed ahead of time and brought to class. The information is accessed by following these simple directions:
1. go to the PCCC homepage: http://www.pccc.edu
2. click on “my PCCC account” at the bottom of the page
3. click on “log in”
4. enter your log-in ID and your password, and click “login”
5. enter the correct semester under “term”, for example “07/FA” is the Fall 2007 semester
6. click on the course name and section number
7. click on “shared files”
8. click on whatever file you need
