Course Description: Biology 241 is the first part of a two quarter Anatomy and Physiology sequence designed to provide you with a basic
understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Topics covered include: Quick Review: Basic Cell
Structure and Function and Basic Chemistry Concepts; Structure and Function of: Tissues, Integumentary System, Skeletal
System, Articulations, Muscular System, Cardiovascular System, Blood, Lymphatic System and Respiratory System. The
course is designed to prepare students for advanced study of anatomy and physiology and clinically related subjects. In
addition, the student will gain experience problem solving, interpreting data, communicating verbally and in writing with
others. th

Course Details (Keys to Success)
Help: If you have any questions throughout the quarter please ask me in class, via email, or arrange an appointment to discuss your concerns
during my office hours. This is YOUR learning experience and I am here to support you! Tutors will be available in OPEN Lab to provide
additional support (Days/Times TBA). If you feel that you will need help, see me as soon as possible so that assistance can be arranged.
Additional resources will be added to our website throughout the quarter, so please check the website daily. Anatomical models are available in
the library.
Special Assistance: Please let me know if there are any additional areas that you will need assistance. This includes physical access to the
classroom or laboratory, ASL interpreters, or extra time to take an exam. If you are physically or learning challenged, please let me know so that
steps can be taken to make the learning environment as comfortable and successful as possible. If you need special arrangements in case the
building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible. Counselors are available to assist you and may be
contacted through the Science and Math Division Office, Room 110.
General class attendance and participation: Regular attendance in lecture and laboratory is mandatory. If you miss a class, then it is the
student’s responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, assignments, and materials handed out in class. It is difficult if not impossible to make up
labs. Please notify me ahead of time so that absences do not affect your learning and your grade.
Participation: Participation includes class attendance, lab etiquette (cleaning lab space, careful use of materials) and active participation
as a lab partner and eager learner in both class and lab including homework assignments.
Online Learning: You will have access to course resources online including PowerPoint slides from lecture. Please check our course
website daily throughout the term.
Lectures/Reading: Lectures will not cover all the material required in each study unit. Lectures are likely to include supplemental material
to the text. You are expected to read the text (at least briefly) before each topic is discussed in class and be prepared to ask and answer
questions in class.
Laboratory: You are expected to read the laboratory exercise PRIOR to each lab and complete any pre-lab activities. Laboratory exercises
must be completed during the scheduled lab session. You will be required to complete Lab Review sheets to support your lab work due
Mondays following completion of Lab Exercises for many labs (TBA). There will be open labs scheduled during the week (TBA) where
there will be a tutor to help with difficult concepts.
Commitment/Study Suggestions: This course covers a lot of material in a short period of time therefore it requires a strong commitment
in order to succeed. Plan to attend all lectures and laboratory sessions and spend at least 5 - 15 additional hours per week studying. Your
studies outside of class should include reading and studying the text, reviewing the lecture PowerPoints, answering study question and
studying laboratory materials (microscope slides, models, etc.) for lab practical exams. Many successful students (3.5 – 4.0) form study
groups and meet regularly with their teacher. Tutors will be available to help with difficult concepts during open labs.
Academic Honesty: The worst academic offenses are cheating and plagiarism. The consequences for cheating and plagiarism can be as serious as
failing the course, and in some instances, being kicked out of school. You will not increase your knowledge of anatomy and physiology by cheating
or plagiarizing.
Evaluation
General Information about Exams: THERE ARE NO MAKE UP EXAMS. Any changes in the time and/or day of an exam or quiz will be announced
in class some time before the exam date. It is the student's responsibility to find out what she/he has missed, including test dates if you are
absent. All information will be posted on our class website. No late or make up exams except in an emergency – in which case the student must
contact the instructor before the exam, and is limited to one per quarter. Documentation will be required. A penalty may be incurred for makeup
exams. No extra time is given for those arriving late.
Lecture Exams (listed as EXAM on schedule): There will be 4 lecture exams (the last exam during final exam period). The approximate
dates are listed in the lecture schedule. There are no early, late, or makeup lecture exams. The lecture exams will cover the material
covered in lecture and some material presented in the lab. The lecture exams are not comprehensive - but the material does build upon a
base from the start of the course. Lecture exams will be designed to test your understanding of the material and are likely to include a
mix of multiple choice, short answer and essay style questions.
Quizzes/Homework: Homework will be turned in the Monday following completion of each lab. For some labs, you will have a study
sheet with questions to answer for homework rather than/or in addition to the Lab Review Sheet. Late homework will not receive full
credit and may not be accepted. You will have as many as 5 quizzes to help me gauge your comprehension of material and also help keep
you on target with your studies. Quizzes will be on Mondays. You may also have additional homework assignments as needed to ensure
comprehension of the material covered in class and lab.
Final Exam: The final exam (4 th exam) is held in class on Tuesday March 23, 1-3 pm.
Lab Exams/Practicals (listed as Lab Exam on schedule): There will be 5 practical exams where you will need to locate and identify and/or
describe structures in the body (cell structure and tissue histology, sheep brain structure, organ structure (sensory, kidney, etc.). The lab
practicals will take approximately 20 minutes - 1 hour; expect to begin new lecture and/or lab material before or after the practical.
*Test re-grades: If there is a mistake on the addition of your exam, please return it to your instructor immediately for a reassessment of the
addition. If you are unsure/unhappy with the grading protocol, turn in a written explanation of the areas in question no later than one week after
the exam has been returned. The instructor will assess this within the next two weeks and return your exam with a changed grade or an
explanation as to the grading protocol. The instructor’s response may be written or oral.
PLEASE NOTE: The instructor reserves the right to alter the schedule, assignments, grading procedures, etc. at any point in time during the class
due to schedule conflicts, new/different assignments, new approaches, etc., based upon the instructor’s professional judgment.
Grading/Assessment Policy: The final grade for this course will be a combination of your assessment scores (lecture exams, lab exams, final
exam, quizzes/homework and lab activities). Dates for assessments are listed in the lecture and lab schedules but note that the instructor
reserves the right to alter the schedule, assignments, grading procedures, etc., at any point in time during the class, due to schedule conflicts,
new/different assignments, new approaches, etc., based upon the instructor’s professional judgment. Assessments
