1 Midland College Fall 2008 Syllabus and Schedule SCIT 1408 Anatomy and Physiology II (3 credit hours, 3 hour virtual lab) Course Description: This course provides a study of the structure and function of the human body. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the working principles of anatomy and physiology and their interrelationships from the chemical and cellular levels through the organ systems. This course meets the requirements for non-science major anatomy and physiology courses. Check with your particular program/college to inquire about credit for this specific course. This course will meet one of the two courses required for anatomy and physiology for any Midland College HITT degree/certificate. Text Books: Anatomy and Physiology, 6 th Ed, Thibodeau and Patton: Text Package with ACCESS CODE. (required to access course information.) Study Guide for Anatomy and Physiology 6 th Ed.

Students will respond to discussion questions, post weekly summaries, and communicate with your instructor in the discussion board. Questions about content and assignments should be posted on the discussion board. The posts will be answered daily except for weekends. This form of communication is important in online courses. This tool will help you stay connected to other classmates and it will help students to

3 ask those questions just as if you were in an actual classroom setting. Discussion board will also be used as a participation tool, and part of the semester grade is based on participation. When posting a response to the discussion board about a topic, post your original response before reviewing other classmate s postings. Then, read the other postings and respond to at least two other students for full credit for participation. Only when the content of the question is personal in nature should the instructor be ed. When sending , use the Course Name such as Legal in your subject line so that the instructor can identify the course being addressed in the followed by the subject matter. Example: To: From: Instructor s address Your address Subject: HITT1253 Regarding Also be sure to sign your name at the end of the . Remember some addresses give instructors absolutely no clue as to who sent it. ATTENDANCE: Because this is strictly an internet course, attendance will be substituted by participating on the discussion board. You will be required to respond to 2 posts in the discussion board 4 out of 7 days of the week. Answers to the discussion questions, and weekly summaries are counted as a posting. Participation is part of your semester grade. TESTING PHILOSOPHY: Students may politely challenge the instructor on questions they feel were poorly worded. If the instructor concedes the argument, scores will be adjusted for the entire class. Assignments consist of multiple formats including multiple choice, open-ended questions and some true/false. The final examination will be comprehensive over all the material presented during the course.

Any student found cheating in this course will be removed and a letter grade of F will be posted for the course along with a letter of explanation added in the student file for the offense. Computer Requirements: Students should have access to Microsoft Word and Excel for assignment submission. Students taking online courses are responsible to have access to a computer for submission of assignments and postings. For specific computer requirements, see Blackboard System Requirements for Midland College courses at AOL, MSN, and Prodigy browsers will not work with Blackboard. These browsers will lock up or lock you out of assignments and tests. Instead, download Mozilla at or Netscape 7.0. Computer Downtime: This is an online course. Each student is required to have a functioning computer for the entirety of the semester. Having computer problems does not exempt students from completing work by the due date. If the Blackboard system goes down or is unavailable, an announcement will be posted as the due date will be extended. If your system goes down, find another computer to submit your homework/posts before the due date. It is strongly suggested that assignments are to be submitted early to avoid any technical difficulties. SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS IN BLACKBOARD: 1. Use a word document format. 2. Save assignment in a rich text file (.rtf). You will find this on your computer under File, Save As, Save Type As (under the name of your document). If you have questions about rtf files, see Course Documents for more information. 3. Each assignment should be submitted through Blackboard under View/Complete assignment as attachment. If there is more than one task due with the assignment such as CH1A (Workbook 1-1, 1-3, and 1-4), all these tasks should be submitted in one word document. DO NOT send three different files. 4. Each assignment should have a header that includes your name, date, course number, and assignment name. Failure to include this content will result in points deducted from your grade. To save: Ch1mct.rtf Chapter 1 by Melody Cheryl Thompson (rtf file) Ch2jwj.rtf Chapter 2 by James W. Johnson (rtf file) Header: Your name Example: Mary Martinez Date Course HITT1253 Assignment Name WB: 5-1

5 Individual is discouraged when it involves course assignments and questions about the reading material. These should be posted on the discussion board under the thread Questions to Instructor so that the class may also receive the information since many questions posed to the instructor are commonly asked by more than one individual. In sharing responses with the class, there is equal opportunity (or equitable responses) to receive information from the instructor. If, however, there is a need to send an to the instructor, (due to a personal nature) include in the subject line the course number and the content of the question such as HITT1253 Question on Ch1B assignment. It is also important that you sign your name at the end of the since many s give no indication of the author. COURSE SCHEDULE: The course schedule has due dates and each student is expected to submit assignments on or before the due date. There is no formal provision for make-up work or extra credit in this course. It is imperative that you keep up and submit all assignment on or before the due date. Work submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. Once the assignment date closes, assignments cannot be submitted. A zero will be placed in the grade book for late assignments. Please do not wait until the last minute to attempt assignments. Computers and computer networks have a bad habit of crashing at the very time you need them the most. **Schedule subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
