Hours
Course Information
Credit Hours: Biology 2010 (lecture) = 3, Biology 2011 (lab) =
1. You must register for lecture and lab if this is the first
time you are taking the course. If you are registering for
the evening sections you must register for both the evening
lecture and lab sections.
Course Description: : Designed for students in health and
human performance, psychology, nursing, and allied health
programs. Structure and function of the human body with
emphasis on cellular structure and function, tissues, and the
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine
systems.
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all lectures and
laboratories. Information which is not in the text or lab
manuals may be introduced in class for which students will
be responsible on exams. Laboratory instruction may
include material that augments lecture topics but which is
not explicitly required by your lecture instructor.
Electronic Devices: All beepers, cell phones, iPods and other
electronic media and outside communication devices must
be turned off during class. Their use during class is
disruptive to the conduct of the lecture and to the learning
process for fellow students. You may have a laptop
computer in class to be used only for purposes associated
with lab.
Students with Disabilities: Visit the Coordinator of
Disability Services if you a disability that may affect your
academic performance and need special accomadations
(221-6230, details in 2010 syllabus).
Academic and Classroom
Misconduct
I. Students are expected to conduct themselves
appropriately at all times. Academic and
classroom misconduct will not be tolerated.
II.Students must read the Code of Student
Conduct in the new Student Handbook for an
understanding of what will be expected of
them within the academic setting.
Policy on Minors
According to APSU policy #3:032, minors (defined as those under
the age of 18) are not allowed in classrooms. While I
recognize that extenuating circumstances occur and make it
difficult for some students to attend without bringing children
with them on occasion, I must enforce University policy and
thus will deny any request for a child in my classroom. You
should also be aware that minors are not allowed in academic
labs, computer labs, science labs, or the library. Further,
children cannot be left in halls outside classrooms. Please be
aware that the policy on unattended minors is for the purpose
of ensuring that our classrooms are conducive to learning and
for the safety and protection of minors. For additional
information on minors on campus, contact the Office of
Student Affairs in the Morgan University Center.
Course Objectives/Goals
1. To learn basic human anatomy and physiology in
preparation for careers in health professions.
2. To provide clinical material required for predicting and
understanding problems that arise when normal anatomy
and physiology fail.
3. To present and identify the concept of health and wellness.
4. To stimulate skills of inquiry and logical thinking.
5. To develop literacy in writing, reading, listening, and
arithmetic skills.
6. To understand the scientific method.
Grading
Lab Grade = Weekly lab reports ave. (25%) +
Weekly lab quiz ave. (25%) + Mid-term practical
(25%) + Final practical (25%)
Grading Scale: A > 90%, B > 80%, C > 70%, D >
60%, F < 60%
Make-Up Exams: Advance notice, if possible, and a
valid reason must be provided for an official
excused absence in order to qualify for a make-up
exam. Practical exams are difficult to make-up, so
avoid missing them if at all possible.

Mastering A&P
You must create an account
using the Access code
purchased with your books
Once you have created your
account you then register in
your lab section course using
this course ID: ?
Note: you will use a different
course ID to register in your
lecture course
Computer Assisted Learning
Most of the course learning software is in the
MasteringAandP on-line portion of the course.
You will find additional course review material and useful

Student Responsibilities
1. Read the contents of the Lab Manual for the
week so you will know what activities are
planned for lab before coming to lab.
2. There will be a weekly quiz at the beginning of
each week’s lab to assess your preparedness
for completing that week’s lab activities
3. Study during any free lab time and at least a
couple hours each week in the open labs to
assimilate the material upon which you will be
tested
Additional Responsibilities
•
•
•
•
Follow lab safety procedures
Leave your work area clean and organized
Turn in your completed homework on time
Paper assignments should be stapled with the
sheets in the correct order, and with your
name, your instructor’s name, and the day
and time of your lab on each page as
indicated in the lab assignment
Tutoring
Free tutoring is available for all students for a variety
of classes including Anatomy and Physiology in
the Academic Support Center, Marks - Room 122,
(931) 221-6553. Call to check tutoring schedules.
