1 BIOLOGY 2401: HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY BIOL Human Anatomy and Physiology (4-3-1) A study of the basic anatomical structures and physiological functions of the systems of the human body. This course stresses coordination of the body systems for integral functioning. Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in CHEM 1411 OR CHEM 1406 OR BIOL 1406 or BIOL 2404 and no developmental requirements. F, SP, SU ( ). I. Instructor: Helena T. Mobley II. Course Rationale: This course meets the requirements for the first half of the Kilgore College Human Anatomy and Physiology requirement for the associate degree allied health programs, bachelor degree programs in nursing, and kinesiology. Biol and 2402 must be taken in sequence. III. Purpose Statement: The purpose of the natural sciences component of a core curriculum is to equip students with an understanding of how the natural world functions. Through study, students will recognize the relationships among the various disciplines within the natural sciences. The ultimate goal of such a curriculum is to provide students with a solid foundation of scientific knowledge on which to build as they move to transferring institutions. IV. Educational Materials: Textbook. Tortora. Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, current edition. Wiley, New York, New York. Lab Manual. Marieb. Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, current. Edition. Pearson. New York, New York. Supplements. Kilgore College Anatomy and Physiology Handouts.

LMOBLEY Conference/Office Hours Office hours are posted on the schedule on my office door or by appointment. I make every attempt to be available. It is best to make an appointment. Please look for me in the lab, workroom, or prep room. But never, NEVER CALL ME FOR GRADES. Electronic devices ELECTRONIC DEVICES must be absolutely quiet. If yours disrupts class, you may get a quiz grade of 0, asked to leave and not come back, or be severely embarrassed. No electronic devices are allowed in your ears unless prescribed by a physician. No electronic devices will be allowed during any quizzes or tests. Attendance Attendance is taken and counts. Lab and lecture are one course, so absences in one accumulate in the other. School policy is to drop a student after a total of about 12 total course hours of absence. This policy applies even if your lecture and lab instructors are not the same people. Instructor initiated drops are an automatic "W". I will work with any student who has attendance problems. This policy applies to summer school as well. CAVEAT: Please be aware that if you do not communicate with me about dropping, you will receive either an "F or a W. Do NOT assume I will automatically provide you with one or the other. You might get a warning. Please, try to avoid appointments during lecture and lab time. Transcript Grade GRADING: Lecture is 50%; LAB is 50%. Total == 100% Lecture and Lab Grades Lecture grades will be a minimum of six grades of EQUAL weight. These will most probably be four lecture grades, one assignment grade, and one comprehensive final. (The comprehensive final will be on a date set by the registrar.). The highest grade that can be earned on a lecture test 110. Assignment grades will include quizzes, written hand-ins, crossword puzzles, internet assignments, oral questions, and attendance. The average of all grades in this category will equal one test grade. Please bring small scantrons with you at all times. The highest grade that can be earned on a quiz/take home is 117. Lab grades will be four grades of EQUAL weight: 3 practicals (x1 each) and one assignment grade (daily work/quizzes/drawings) (x1). Practicals are one time event set ups and cannot be made up because they cannot be recreated. Biol syllabus and lecture & lab sequence updated 2011 Page 5

6 For Biol (A&P II) only The HAPS test is administered at the end of the semester. I will explain later in the semester how I factor it into your grade. Quizzes Lecture and lab quizzes/written assignments will be given ANNOUNCED OR UNANNOUNCED. Unannounced quizzes will be over material from previous or future lecture/lab or the currently assigned material. One quiz grade in lab and one in lecture may be dropped*. Quizzes are given at beginning or end of the period. Assignment deadlines are to be respected and adhered to. All work must be completed and turned in at the beginning or class or lab unless it is group work done in class/lab. * Depends on lab or lecture instructor. Tardies Tardies or leaving early means an unexcused absence and results in a zero. You will receive no credit for a daily quiz if you do not attend the entire lab or lecture. A possible exception is homework that must be turned in the day it is due. See Late Work. Late Work LATE WORK might be accepted. All late work WILL BE DOCKED ACCORDINGLY, regardless of when it is turned in. If I accept it, it must be turned in in a timely manner. My usual policy is to treat all take home quizzes as in - class quizzes. Therefore, if you are absent on a due date, it will count as a 0 quiz grade. You may turn in take home work early for full credit or send it with a classmate. If you are absent, see me about late work. There might be some slight flexibility in this area. Makeup work Makeup grades for absences other than school business or dying might be negotiated, but follow this general policy: Absences from major tests/practicals equal a zero unless you make individual arrangements with me. My policy is to require make up tests within two weeks following the test. Only one lecture major test make up is allowed. Practicals may NOT be made up, ever. For major tests and/or practicals that are missed, I count the lowest major test, final, or practical grade twice. No make ups will be given during finals. Make ups will be graded by the end of the semester. (Make ups are in their own category.) Quizzes may NOT be made up under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES -- ANY. NEVER. Extra Credit Extra credit is totally at my discretion. Generally if you have time for extra credit, you have extra time for studying the required content. How fair is it if a student passes only on extra credit and still knows no content? In reality, EC does not exist outside of regular assignments. ALSO..You must maintain a 70 average to receive credit for bonuses or wild cards. I.e. if you have a 68 or 69, bonus work DOES NOT COUNT. MATERIALS REQUIRED: Lecture Text: Tortora, Principles of Anatomy and Physiology, current edition Lab Manual: Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual. Marieb, current edition. pkt of handouts from the KC bookstore photographic atlas (optional) drawing paper 6 or 7, 100-question non-wrinkled scantrons, a pkg of 15 question scantrons, and a good eraser. The clean, long scantrons are due before the first major test. Biol syllabus and lecture & lab sequence updated 2011 Page 6

7 Classroom and Lab Etiquette 1. Do not talk when I or another student has the floor. This means do not talk to your neighbor. The people around you will appreciate this. But, you may ask questions at any time that pertain to the current topic. If you have an irrelevant question, make a note of it and ask it later. 2. Keep you cell phone and gum quiet at all times. Restrict texting. No cells phones for tests. 3. Use the restroom and get a drink BEFORE or AFTER class. Please anticipate this need. 4. Stay in your seat unless we are doing a group activity. This means keep your trash, assignments, books, etc. with you until class is over. 5. Do not wander around the class room. Lab is more flexible. 6. If you are tardy, so is your work: it is late. Once I start class, do NOT bring me your work or interrupt me to ask me about it. If you are tardy for a quiz, do not expect extra time to finish it. 7. Do not bring your children to class or lab. 8. Dress appropriately. Practice for being in the work place. It will make you feel better. 9. Please do not use any profanity. However, you may make profound remarks. 10. Tissues will be made available. 11. Others as they arise. One of my greatest challenges is to engage you in class and/or lab. Be prepared for me to call on you in class or lab about anything.
