Fall 2011
Instructor: Karen Colson, Ph.D.
Office: 230 NMH

Office Hours: By appointment
Course Description and Objectives
The purpose of this course is to increase your knowledge of the anatomical
structures and functions involved in the processes of speech, language, and
deglutition. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
1. identify the anatomical structures associated with the aforementioned
processes,
2. describe their functions as they relate to the communication and/or
deglutition processes,
3. contrast the physiological substrates of vegetative processes with
those used for communication, and
4. demonstrate mastery of the vocabulary required to become a
competent professional in communication sciences and disorders.
Upon completion of this course, the student will have met the following
requirements for certification in speech-language pathology:


Standard III-A. Biological Sciences
Standard III-B. Basic Human Communication Processes: Biological,
neurological, and acoustic
Textbooks
Kapit, W. & Elson, L. (2002). The anatomy coloring book, 3rd ed. Harper Collins.
(recommended)
Seikel, J. A., King, D. W., & Drumright, D. G. (2010). Anatomy and physiology
for speech, language, and hearing, 4th ed. Thomson Delmar Learning.

Course Structure
The course will be lecture based with use of multimedia resources. It will be
divided into four sections as follows:
I. Introduction, Orientation and Respiration
II. Phonation
III. Articulation and Resonance
IV. The Nervous System
Course Requirements

You are responsible for reading the text and all supplemental material
assigned and/or handed out during the semester.

You are expected to attend all class sessions and to participate fully in
class discussions/activities. Attendance will be taken for each class and
credit will be given only to students who are present for the entire class. It
is the student’s responsibility to ensure he/she signs the attendance sheet.

There will be four examinations, including the final, each totaling 100
points.

Each exam will cover only the information presented in its respective
section. The exams will involve labeling, short answer and multiple choice
questions.

Six quizzes, each worth 10 points, will be given in class during the
semester. Each quiz will be given at the beginning of class. The date of
each quiz will be announced one class prior to its occurrence. The quizzes
will have a similar format as the exams and will cover only the information
presented in a specific section as follows:
o


Quiz 1 Introduction, Orientation and Respiration
Quiz 2 and 3 Phonation
Quiz 4 and 5 Articulation and Resonance
Quiz 6 The Nervous System
Make-up exams and quizzes will be given only in instances of University
excused absences. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the
instructor with written verification for an excused absence, such as a copy
of a physician’s note/excuse. (Also refer to Attendance Policy section)


Your course grade will be based upon the total points accumulated for the
four exams and six quizzes. The following scale will be used:
Grade
Percentage Range
Point Range
A
B
C
D
F
90 - 100
80 - 89
70 - 79
60 - 69
< 59
412 - 460
366 - 411
320 - 365
274 - 319
< 273

Extra credit assignments will not be available.

Personal computers brought to class should be used strictly for taking
notes. Other use, such as sending e-mail and surfing the internet, should
not take place in class as it is distracting and disrespectful to your peers
and the instructor. Likewise, texting others will not be permitted in class.
You will be asked to leave the class if you engage in these activities.

If, at any time, you have any questions that have not been adequately
addressed during regular class meetings, please do not hesitate to
schedule an appointment to meet with me in my office.
Attendance Policy:
The attendance policy of the College of Arts & Sciences states:
“To earn course credit in the College of Arts and Sciences, a student must
attend at least 75% of all scheduled class meetings. Any student who does not
meet this minimal standard will automatically receive a grade of “F” in the
course. Any University-related activity necessitating an absence from class shall
count as an absence when determining whether a student has attended the
required 75% of class meetings.”
“In the event you are unable to attend a class session, it is your
responsibility to obtain (a) class notes from another student, and (b) any changes
in the class schedule. You are also expected to take tests on time. If you are ill, it is
your responsibility to notify the instructor prior to the time of the test. If you miss a
test without prior approval from your instructor, you will be subject to receiving a
zero for the test. When returning from the illness, it is the student’s responsibility to
take the makeup exam within 3 days or the student will automatically receive a
zero for the test.”
In addition, the following will apply to your attendance:

Excessive unexcused absences (more than 6) during the semester will
result in a 50 point deduction from your total exam score for the course.
