ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
BIOLOGY 221
BAKER/RUSSELL
SUMMER 2015
THIS SYLLABUS
You are responsible for knowing all the contents of this syllabus. It
provides information on the organization of the course, schedules for the lecture
and the laboratory, and reading assignments from assigned texts. Any changes
to the syllabus will be announced in lecture and/or posted on my website.
CLASS HOURS:
LECTURE:
MTWTh 9:00 – 11:05 A.M., BioSci 102
Lecture exams will be administered in this facility during regular class
hours as scheduled.
LAB CLASS:
MTW 11:30 A.M. - 2:30 P.M., BioSci 106
Periodically, the lab is open for independent work; refer to the lab schedule and
the Instructor for availability. Do not expect assistance during these open hours,
or expect the open lab to always be available.
NOTE: Students must be concurrently enrolled in both lecture and lab.
TEXTBOOKS
The lecture and lab text is a custom edition for Orange Coast College entitled
Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology (11th edition) by Elaine Marieb
(ISBN 13: 9781269752862). Reading assignments are listed in the lecture
schedule. Lecture tests will focus on lecture material, but a small percentage
may come directly from the reading or from online resources and may not be
covered during lecture. You must bring the online lab handouts and
Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology to lab each time it meets
(except on lab exams days).
MASTERING A&P
This is an online learning system required for this course. Bundled with your
Marieb textbook (if you purchased it new), you will find a cardboard envelope.
Inside the envelope (simply “unzip” the tab) is a student access code you must
use to register online for Mastering A&P. The course ID for this semester is
BIOL221SUM15. Please select 11e as the e-text. Registration instructions are
found on the first page of your textbook, and will be provided in lecture and on
the instructor’s website. If you purchased a used lecture textbook, you will have
to follow separate instructions for the purchase of Mastering A&P (they may be
posted on the instructor’s website).

All Mastering A&P assignments for lecture and for lab have specific and inflexible
due dates. Should you wait until the last day to complete online assignments and
run into any type of difficulty, no accommodations will be extended to you. There
are extra lecture and lab online assignments built-in to the course that allow for
occasional student or technical challenges. Up to 30 points of extra credit may be
earned though the completion of online lecture quizzes.
ADDITIONAL REQUIRED MATERIALS
For lecture exams, you will need a packet of “Scantron” answer sheets #882-ELOVAS. These are green and have 50 answers per side.
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADES
You will be assigned a single grade for this class. Lecture points and lab points
will be totaled to determine your final grade. Grading is based on total points
earned. Grades will be assigned on a standard 90% - A (and no academic
dishonesty), 80% = B, 70% = C scale. The following are the source and weight
of points:
4 Lecture Exams @ 100 points each
3 Lab Exams @ 100 points each
Lab Quizzes (5 @ 10 points each)

Refer to your Lecture and Lab Schedules for the dates of the exams. These are
objective tests. For lecture, you will need a packet of “Scantron” answer sheets
#882-E-LOVAS (they are green and have 50 answers per side).
MAKE UP EXAMS
Lecture:
Make-up lecture exams will be given ONLY if you notify the instructor
prior to the exam or within 24 hours of the exam and if the absence is
due to a college-recognized emergency (refer to your student
handbook, The Chart, for a listing of recognized emergencies).
Lab:
Laboratory exams cannot be made up for any reason.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance in class is very important. It is your responsibility to keep up with the
reading assignments, changes in the schedules and any other activities outlined
by the instructor during class meetings. You may be dropped due to excessive
absenteeism. However, your enrollment status is YOUR responsibility; do not
expect your instructors to automatically drop you if you stop attending.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will be able to:
1. Identify gross and microscopic anatomical structures of the human body
on illustrations, models, and on human skeletal and cadaver specimens.
2. Show the interrelated nature of organs and organ systems by describing
or illustrating the relationship between anatomical structures and
physiological processes.
3. Evaluate the results of physiological tests including: electromyogram,
electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, spirometry, and urinalysis.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
The Chart contains information regarding academic honesty. That information
should be read carefully. I DO NOT TOLERATE dishonesty from students. This
includes, but is not limited to, copying the work of another student, submitting
someone else’s work as your own, copying test answers from another student,
allowing another student to copy your test answers, informing other students of
material to be found on exams, using a cell phone or other digital/electronic, etc.
device during an exam, and possessing cheat sheets or cheat notes during
exams. I will report any student exhibiting dishonesty to the Dean of Students for
a disciplinary hearing. I will assign zero points for the exam or assignment in
question. Any student caught cheating may be removed from the class, or
assigned a final grade of “F” for the course. Any questions regarding this policy
should be referred to the Dean of Students.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
• Check the websites regularly for changes and announcements
• Keep all of your exams and quizzes
• Keep track of your own points & grade to date
• Stay on top of the workload; don’t fall behind
• Print the lecture notes (if available) & read the relevant material in the
assigned chapter in the Marieb text before you come to lecture
• Form a study group and meet frequently
• Study lecture notes & related reading to prepare for lecture exams
• Study the lab handouts & assigned specimens to prepare for lab exams
• Review frequently
• Attend open labs
• Consider taking photos of lab specimens either toward the end of lab or
during open lab, print the photos, cover with a transparency, then practice
labeling assigned structures.
• Spelling counts on lab exams, so practice writing out the names of
structures
• Sources of help include me and the lab teaching assistant(s). Free tutors
may be available through the Student Success Center.

CELL PHONE/ TEXT MESSAGING ALERT
• The use of cell phones or text messaging is not allowed during class
unless it is being used at the direction of the Instructor.
• If your cell phone, etc. goes off during class, you may be asked to leave
class for the remainder of the class period that day. A second offense
may result in you being dropped from the course.
