Grading Scale (No +/- grades)
A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
F = 59% and below
Students will receive one grade for both lecture and lab. The lecture grade will account
for 70% of the grade, while the remaining 30% will be accounted for by the lab. Lab
points will be from quizzes, lab exercises, and lab practicals.

Course Description: (From COC catalog) Prerequisite: BioSci 204 with a grade of “C”
or better. Units: 4.00 - UC:CSU 54.00 hours lecture, 54.00 hours lab. Continues the study
of the structure and function of the human body. UC credit limitation: BIOSCI-201, 202
and 204, 205, 250 combined; maximum credit 8 units.
Student Learning Outcome (Lecture): Identify, describe, and draw the anatomical
structures (organs, tissues, cells, cell products) for the sense organs, the endocrine
system, the circulatory and cardiovascular systems, the lymphatic and immune systems,
the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system, and the male and female
reproductive systems and evaluate the functions of each, describing the physiological
mechanism by which each works to maintain health and homeostasis.
Student Learning Outcome (Lab): Name, identify, and evaluate the functions of
pertinent anatomical structures (organs, tissues, cells, cell products) for each organ
system studied.
Important Information Regarding Biology Degree
http://www.canyons.edu/Divisions/MathSci/Degrees/BiologicalSciences.PDF
Many students do not realize that they qualify for an A.S. degree in Biology from College
of the Canyons. This is typically due to the student never being informed that they have
completed the courses required for the degree. Please check the link above to see if you
qualify or may soon qualify for the Biology A.S. degree. Obtaining your A.S. degree may
provide you with greater transfer opportunities to a university.

Required Materials:
• Saladin, K.S. Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, 6th ed.
McGraw Hill, 2012
• Sarikas, S.N. Laboratory Investigations in Anatomy and Physiology, 2nd ed.
Pearson Benjamin Cummings, 2010
• Gloves and a blunt probe for dissection
Recommended Materials:
• Gilbert, S.G. Pictorial Anatomy of the Cat, Rev. 76. Hopkins F
• Leboffe, M.J. Photographic Atlas of Histology, 2nd ed. Morton, 2013
Lecture Exam: There will be five lecture exams. They will not be cumulative. Exams
will consist of 30 multiple choice, true/false questions worth 2 points each for a total of
60 points, 5 short answer questions worth 4 points each for a total of 20 points and 4
written answer questions worth 5 points each. This will bring the total to 100 points per
exam. A scantron will be needed for the exams. There will be no make ups for the
exams unless there is evidence of an extreme hardship (i.e. hospitalization, death in
the family)! In the event a make-up is granted, the exam may vary from the one
given in class.
Final Exam: There will be a cumulative final exam at the end of the semester. The final
will consist of 100 multiple choice and true/false questions worth 2 points each for a total
of 200 points. A scantron will be needed for the final. If the score on the final is higher
than the lowest lecture exam score, the score on the final will be used to replace that
lecture score. There will be no make ups for the final! See above.
Lab Practicals: Lab practicals will consist of short answer fill-in questions based on the
laboratory assignments performed. The questions will be based on pictures, slides,
models, or preserved specimens. There are no make ups for the lab practicals! See
above.
Lab Reports: Lab reports will be a written description of your lab work during a specific
unit. In the report you should describe in detail the work performed in lab. You should
start by stating the purpose of the unit and follow with your description. Typed, 12 Times
New Roman font.
Attendance/Participation: You are expected to attend every lecture and lab! If you
need to miss a lecture for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible. You will
still be responsible for all materials covered in lecture during your absence. After three
unexcused absences you may be dropped from the class. Participation will consist of
the student answering questions during lecture and participating in discussions.
Academic Dishonesty: Any form of academic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, etc.)
will NOT be tolerated! Any student that is found being academically dishonest will be
subject to the highest level of discipline! This may result in a zero on the assignment, an
“F” in the course and/or dismissal from the college. See the current COC class catalog for
further clarification.

Withdrawal Policy: If a student elects to withdraw from the lecture/lab, it is their
responsibility to do so. Deadline to drop without a W: 2/21/14, with a W 5/9/14. Again,
you are responsible for withdrawing from the class.
Students with Disabilities: Any student who feels s/he may need an
accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately
to discuss your specific needs. Please contact the Disabled Students Programs
and Services office at (661) 362-3341 in room SCOH 103 to coordinate
reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
Policy on Electronic Devices: During the lecture, all electronic devices are to be shut
off. An exception is made for laptops and tablets so that the students may view the lecture
notes. If it is discovered that the students are not viewing lecture related material, that
exception will no longer be valid. During the lab I encourage the use of any and all
technologies to help you further your understanding of the material presented. That
includes smartphones, iPods, iPads, laptops and the like. Electronic devices are not
allowed during any type of assessment.
MESA: MESA is a program that supports students to excel in math, engineering, and the
sciences. MESA is based on a rigorous program that builds academic skills and
encourages cooperative solving. There is access to technology, academic advisement, and
other support services available. For more information, please contact the MESA
Program Director in ALLB-114 or call (661) 362-3448.
TLC: For tutoring in English, Math, Science, and other subjects on a walk-in basis,
please visit the state-of-the-art TLC. Call for hours of operation at 661-362-3351.
How to succeed in this class: Study! Review the notes thoroughly. Read the book to fill
any gaps that may exist in your notes. In the lab, review the specimens until you are
confident you can identify on a practical. Review pictures, diagrams, online resources,
etc. Most important, ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM! I am here to help you.
