Course Description: This is the first semester of a two-semester course in human anatomy and physiology designed to meet the requirements for nursing students, physical education majors, and students preparing for any of the careers in the allied health sciences. Topics covered include animal cell structure and function, cell chemistry, cell division, metabolism, tissues, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, and the nervous system. Course Objectives: 1. To acquaint the student with the basic attributes of life, including cell structure and function, metabolism, and homeostasis. 2. To allow the students to relate cellular form and function to that of tissues, organs, organ systems and finally the entire human body. 3. To explore the form and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems of the body. 4. To prepare students for further training in the allied health professions. Required text: Marieb, E.N. and Hoehn, K. Human Anatomy and Physiology (with Mastering A&P), 8 th edition Pearson Benjamin Cummings Publishing, 2009 Anatomy & Physiology Coloring Workbook A Complete Study Guide, 10 th Edition Elaine N. Marieb Pearson Benjamin/Cummings Publishing (2012) Exams: Four hourly exams will be given. The exam with the lowest score will be dropped. Each exam will be approximately 70% multiple choice and 30% essay-type questions. Answers will require not only memory skills, but will also require the student to organize and correlate information. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL EXCUSE, (a doctor s note, a police report, etc). Make-ups are all essay in format. Tests will be reviewed in class but must be returned at the end 1

2 of the review. You may view your exam again during office hours. The final exam is comprehensive and must be taken in order to pass the class. The final cannot be dropped. The final exam consists of multiple choice questions. It will contain some departmental questions. CELL PHONES MUST BE TURNED OFF DURING AN EXAM. Failure to follow this rule will result in an automatic zero on the exam. Assignments: The following outline gives the chapters of the text that will be covered. These chapters must be read, with special attention given to the specific topics discussed in class. One term paper will be written and turned into to check for plagiarism. (See pages 7 and 8 for instructions.) A hard copy will be turned into me on, or before, the last day of lecture. No late papers will be accepted. You must include a copy of your reference article(s). A paper handed in without a copy of the reference article(s) or with a similarity report >35% will automatically receive a grade of zero. No paper will be read that has not been turned into turnitin.com by the due date. Nine on-line homework assignments will be completed. These assignments can be found on the Mastering A & P website. (See page 9 for registration instructions.) A Coloring Book activity will be completed for each chapter. (See table below.) These assignments will be torn out of the book and turned in on the day of the exam that covers that chapter.

Important Dates: Aug 22 First Day of Class Sept 5 No class; Labor Day Sept 14 Test 1* Oct 12 Test 2* Oct 18 Semester Midpoint Nov 9 Test 3* Nov 23 No class; Student Study Day Nov 30 Test 4* Dec 5 Last day of class; PAPERS ARE DUE BY 6:45 PM Dec 7 Final Exam: 5:30-7:30 PM *Exams are subject to change. Any changes will be announced in class. STUDENTS ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES ANNOUNCED IN CLASS. Attendance Policy: Regular class attendance is an important part of learning. Therefore, students are expected to attend every class and are responsible for all announcements made in class. To ensure a grade of W, rather than an F, the student must file for withdrawal him/herself on or prior to the midpoint. Please note that you will not be withdrawn from the class merely by not showing up to class. Student Initiated Withdrawal: A student who officially withdraws for any reason before the midpoint of the semester will receive a grade of W. Any student, who withdraws after the midpoint, will receive a WF unless approved as a hardship withdrawal by the appropriate department head, division dean or campus administrative dean. Hardship withdrawals are not allowed as an attempt to avoid an unsatisfactory grade and are not possible after the end of the semester. Documentation of hardship must be presented. Withdrawal from either lecture or lab will result in automatic withdrawal from the other. It is your responsibility to complete 5

6 withdrawal forms. They may be obtained in the registrar's office. Withdrawal Option for Students with Increased Medical Risks: All students should be aware that science laboratories contain materials, which if handled improperly, may have a hazardous effect on them. Students with special conditions, (such as pregnancy, nursing mothers, allergies, depression of the immune system, etc.), may wish to contact their physicians for advice about continuing in the laboratory. Students who wish to withdraw from a lab after consultation with their doctor will receive a full refund for the lab, provided they submit a letter from the physician within the first two weeks of the semester. The physician's letter must indicate that the student should not continue in the lab due to a health risk. THE LABORATORY MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT COURSE IN THE SEQUENCE. Information about the chemical compounds used in these science labs is available from the department head or lab coordinator. Incomplete: A grade of incomplete is assigned only when the student, for nonacademic reasons beyond his/her control, is unable to complete some specific part of the work required. The work completed up to that point must be satisfactory (passing) in order to receive an incomplete. An incomplete must be made up the following semester or will be converted to an F grade. A formal petition for the incomplete, with documentation, must be filed with the Science Department. Supplies: Scantron forms (green) and #2 pencils are required for each exam. Food or Drink in the Classroom: Due to college maintenance requirements, neither food nor drinks are allowed in carpeted areas. Academic Honesty Policy: Cheating and Plagiarism Cheating includes any attempt to defraud, deceive or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honest grade assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one's own, ideas or work of another. All portions of any test, project or final exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own work unless you have been instructed to work collaboratively. Specific requirements will be described for collaborative projects, but all work presented must be the work of members of that group. Research materials used must be properly cited. Violation of the Academic Honesty Policy will result in a score of zero for that test, project or exam. The second offense will result in a final course grade of F and a formal charge of Academic Dishonesty will be lodged with the Campus Dean for Student Services. Policies have been established by Georgia Perimeter College to insure due process in charges of cheating or plagiarism. A copy of these procedures can be found in the Student Handbook. 6
