Gavilan Community College
This 6 week summer course will cover the same material that is offered in the regular 16 week
semester. We are required to cover approx. three chapters and six to eight lab exercises per week.
The 3-hour laboratories have multiple lab exercises daily if we are to achieve this goal. This is a
fast paced course and requires your full participation both online and offline. Flashcards, good
note taking skills, and ‘Group-Learning’ are essential for success in this course.
This course is required for admission to the LVN program at Gavilan and other community
college nursing programs and is CSU, UC transferable. It is also required for the P.E. degree at
Gavilan and can be used to help fulfill the GE requirement for science. Principles of Biology
(Bio 10) is a highly recommended for this course.
Cadavers MAY be used in this course and it is our obligation to inform you that it is preserved in
a mutagenic. Students should protect themselves properly (use face masks, Lab coats and gloves)
when observing the cadavers and/or specimens.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. Develop a detailed understanding of the anatomical and physiological aspects of the
Human body.
2. Develop an understanding of the physiological interactions and compensatory
mechanisms used by the body’s organ system in maintaining homeostasis.
3. Develop critical thinking skills through the use of the scientific method.
4. Prepare students choosing careers in allied health professions such as nutrition,
psychology, sports medicine, and holistic health.
5. Where time permits study various pathologies, and methods by which physicians
make specific diagnosis. Some basic pharmacology may be included as well as
interactive case studies.
COURSE ORGANIZATION:
Material will be presented primarily in the form of online lectures, readings assignments from the
text/supplement, and ‘active’ group learning assignments may include interactive case studies.
Lecture presentations will cover the points to be learned and will direct your study from the text,
however some material will be presented in lab that is not in the text and thus, you are required to
attend all class labs and take good notes. Each day, you should plan on spending 4-6 hours of
study outside of our laboratory sessions to be successful.

COURSE LAB ASSIGNMENTS: 99 points (approx. 33 lab assignments at 3 pts each)
There will be approximately 6-8 lab assignments per week that come from the Hole’s
Essential Lab manual. Each laboratory assignment/exercise is worth 3 points each and
due the day of lab or otherwise noted. There are no make-ups for missed laboratory
assignments. If you miss a class you forfeit 2 laboratory assignment points! If you leave
early you will loose points.
LECTURE HOMEWORK AND HANDOUTS: 45 points (approx. 17 study outline handouts)
Approximately 16-18 lecture assignments (Study Outlines) taken from the course website and
from McKenna’s Bio 15 Supplementary Manual will be given throughout the quarter and are 3
points each. Online lecture assignments may be assigned and are collected throughout the course.
No late assignments will be accepted!- for any reason!
LECTURE TAKE HOME QUIZZES: 25 points (Best 5 out of 6 scores).
Each quiz is worth 5 points. Each quiz consists of five short answer type questions that cover the
most recent lecture topics and assignments. No make-ups will be given for any reason; if you
miss a quiz then you drop that score.
MIDTERM EXAMINATIONS: 200 points (Best 4 out of 5 Midterm scores).
There will be five Midterm exams each worth 50 points. The best 4 out of 5 will count towards
your grade. Each exam will consist of multiple choice questions, and short answer type questions.
Lecture, laboratory exercises, class assignments and reading material are all fair game.
COMPREHENSIVE FINAL: 100 points (The Final is Mandatory!)
There will be a comprehensive final given on the last day of class that will be worth 100 points.
The final is mandatory and will not be an exam that can be dropped as the lowest dropped exam.
LABORATORY QUIZZES: 100 points (Weekly! 15-20 points each)
Weekly Lab quizzes will be given throughout the session worth anywhere from 15 to 20 points
each and will consist of material learned in lab. These quizzes will typically be given on
Thursday before our lecture exam. The format of each exam will primarily be identification with
some matching and short answer concept questions.

ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION POINTS: 25 points. (5 pts deducted for each absence and
3 for each tardy).
At the end of the session, your attendance will be reviewed. Perfect attendance and punctuality
means that you keep the 25 points for class participation. Five points will be deducted for each
absence and 3 for each tardy. If your 25 points are taken up for absences and/or tardiness you are
subject to be dropped from the course. As per college policy, students missing one more class
value than the unit value of the course may be dropped. If you foresee missing more than one or
two days of class, please inform me. Please make arrangements with your schedule to be present
and on time for all labs/lectures.
SPECIAL CONCERNS:
Students with special needs such as hear and/or vision impairment should make arrangement with
the instructor.
