Course
Description:
Human Anatomy and Physiology is a two-semester course in the systemic study
of human structure (anatomy) and function (physiology). BIOL 227 covers
integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems and BIOL 228 covers
endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary and
reproductive systems. Unifying themes of homeostasis and whole-body
functioning are emphasized. There are three hours of lecture/discussion and
three hours of laboratory each week. The laboratory sessions included cadaver
prosection. This course meets the guidelines established by the Human
Anatomy and Physiology society. Both semesters are required for a complete
survey of the human body.
Credits
Four (4) Semester Units
Prerequisites:
This course is built on the assumption that students will begin the semester with
a knowledge base commensurate with that of students who have completed
BIOL 201 (Introduction to Life Science). Students without BIOL 201 are
encouraged to take the Biology Placement Exam for Health Science Majors that
is located in the Testing Center to determine if their biology preparation is
adequate (recommended minimum score 70%). Successful completion of BIOL
227 is required before enrolling in BIOL 228.
Texts: required
Marieb, E.N. (2002) Human Anatomy and Physiology, 5th ed. Addison and
Wesley, New York.
Marieb, E.N. (2002) Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab Manual 7th ed.,
Addison and Wesley, New York.

Materials:
It is recommended that students record lectures with a portable tape recorder.

Exams, Quizzes and Wellness Project
Lecture Exams (5)
50-60 points each
Lab Exams (4)
100 points each
Lab Quizzes (weekly)
75 points
Wellness Project
Blackboard Quizzes (weekly)
50 points
No point value
Format includes multiple choice, short-answer
responses
Microscopic and macroscopic recognition of
dissected tissues, data acquisition equipment,
performance of various analytical techniques
Weekly quizzes will be given at the beginning of
each lab. To minimize disruption, lab doors will be
closed until all students have finished the quiz. Lab
quizzes cannot be made up, regardless of reason.
Each week, a quiz will be posted on Blackboard,
focusing on key points from the week’s lectures.
Although there are no points associated with these
quizzes, similar content questions will appear on
your lecture exams. 
Grading Policies
F All students will receive an F if they do not show up to class and do not drop the course by the
scheduled drop dates
NC Not given by instructors in Life Sciences Department
I
Given if a student has completed at least 80% or more of the class and is not capable of
completing the remainder of the semester due to illness or extenuating circumstances
W Received anytime the student initiates a drop prior to the end of the scheduled drop dates OR
if the instructor gives an instructor-initiated drop due to illness or other extenuating
circumstances.
Americans Disabilities Act (ADA)
The American Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act require (reasonable
accommodation” for students on college campuses who have diagnosed disabilities or believe they
have a disabling condition needing accommodation for learning access. If you have requests for
accommodations, contact the Coordinator of Disabled Student Services, CSI Counseling Center.
Attendance
Lectures – Those students who attend lectures on a regular basis have done much better than those
who demonstrated a more "casual" attendance style. If you miss class, you are very wise to contact a
fellow student about possible additional assignments or projects that may have been discussed during
class. You are responsible for all material provided in class, whether you have chosen to attend or not.
Laboratories –Biology 228 labs are offered four times per week. If you experience a schedule conflict,
contact your lab instructor and make arrangements to attend an alternate lab period during that same
week

Make-Up Exams
Make-up lecture exams will not be given unless approval is obtained from the instructor before the
scheduled exam time. Laboratory exams must be taken on the designated dates. Missed exams will
receive a score of zero. Students occasionally need to take a lab or lecture exam during a time different
from their assigned lab/lecture. This is permissible as long as the appropriate instructors have been
notified ahead of time.
Blackboard Quizzes
All students enrolled in BIOL 228 must also enroll in Blackboard BIOL 227/228. Once on the internet,
type in: blackboard.csi.edu and follow the instructions. Note: This address is not preceded by the
usual www Blackboard will be used primarily as a communication resource. However, there will be
weekly posted quizzes (15). All quizzes will be open for one week, then will close automatically. It is
important to note that once closed, it is not possible to re-open any one Blackboard quiz or case study,
so be sure you allow enough time during the week to complete them.
Cheating
If you wish to lose the respect of your course instructor and jeopardize further studies, cheating is the
quickest method to accomplish these goals. Any student(s) caught cheating in any manner will we
awarded an F for the exam. Any subsequent cheating offense will be documented by letter, with copies
being sent to the student, the department chair, the student's advisor and CSI’s Vice-president of
Academic Affairs. The student will be dropped from the course.
Additional Assistance
This is an intense and time-consuming course. There are several resources available to you as you
progress through the semester.
1. Previous outstanding Biol 227/228 are available as peer tutors. There is no charge for this
service. Required (brief) paperwork is available at the Study Skills Center located on the second
floor of the CSI library. Contact your instructor if you feel you would benefit from a friendly tutor.
2. There will be review sessions prior to each lab exam. These are intended to allow students to
review and ask questions about prior content material (per lab learning objectives).
3. In previous semesters, students found it very beneficial to study with a small group of classmates
with whom they felt comfortable. It can be a very helpful way to review.
4. CD-ROMs included with your text as well as your lab manual can be very useful in studying new
concepts.
5. Do not wait until mid-semester to utilize any of these resources. By then, you may feel you are on
the deck of the Titanic, sinking fast. Spare yourself the agony.
Learning Objectives and Methods of Assessment
Learning objectives for this course are in accordance with the standards as described by the Human
Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS). A detailed description of these is located in the BIOL 227/228
