Date: September 2010
Course Title:
Anatomy and Physiology II w/Lab
Institution:
Rogue Community College
Type of Course:
Transfer
Length of Course:
A minimum of sixty (60) lecture/lab hours per one term.
Prerequisites:
BI231; CHEM104 highly recommended.
Department Assignment:
Science
Course Description: Discusses anatomical structure and physiological processes, including
organs, systems, tissues, bodily dysfunctions, and diseases. The laboratory component of this
course provides students with hands-on experiences, as opposed to workbook and or computergenerated activities that could be done in a non-laboratory setting. Ideally, laboratory activities
should encourage critical thinking, the understanding of scientific methodology, and the
application of scientific principles. In the laboratory setting whole animal dissection is a
valuable learning experience not achievable by other means. Hands-on dissection by students
working individually or in pairs is preferable to instructor-demonstrated dissections. There are
many other excellent teaching tools available, including models, computer simulations, and a
variety of audiovisual materials. Use of these teaching tools are valid, but not a substitute for
animal dissection. Whole animal dissection is a valuable learning experience not achievable by
other means.
Expected Course Outcomes and Assessment: On successful completion of this course, the
students will be able to:
