Midlands Technical College edition Additional Textbooks/Readings: Photo Atlas for Anatomy and Physiology 6 th edition, Morton Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to enable the student to develop an integrated concept of the structure and function of the human body. A detailed list of course objectives are listed on the science department web site: Program and course assessment activities are deployed and results collected in accordance with the College s assessment schedule. Please refer to the information in the syllabus regarding the applicability of the assessment activity for the current semester. Course Outcomes and Competencies: Intended Course Outcome: Students will learn and be able to use scientific reasoning and principles through the study of basic Human Anatomy and Physiology. Course Competency: Students will learn and demonstrate their ability to use scientific reasoning and principles by answering examination questions based on learning objectives. They will demonstrate an understanding of: 1. Using scientific reasoning to describe the role of negative feedback mechanisms and how they control homeostatic controls mechanisms in the body. 2. Using scientific reasoning describe the role of acids, bases and buffers in maintaining homeostasis. 3. Using scientific reasoning describe the levels of organization of the human body. 4. Using scientific reasoning compare the building blocks (monomers) of the four macromolecules of the body.

2 5. Using scientific reasoning compare mitosis and meiosis and their role in human development. 6. Using scientific reasoning describe how calcium levels are controlled in bones. 7. Using scientific reasoning describe the steps of an action potential during a nerve impulse. 8. Using scientific reasoning compare the ABO blood types. 9. Using scientific reasoning describe the pathway of blood through the heart. 10. Using scientific reasoning compare inhalation and exhalation and the role of atmospheric pressure in breathing. 11. Using scientific reasoning describe the steps of urine formation in nephrons. 12. Using scientific reasoning describe the role of pituitary gland hormones in the reproductive cycle of males and females. Performance Measurement Instrument: Students will complete a set of examination questions prepared by faculty based on the course learning objectives listed above. The success criterion is that 80% of the students will answer 75% of the questions correctly. Course Attendance: Students will be allowed to miss twice the number of times a lecture or laboratory section meets per week. Lecture attendance will be recorded after each lecture test is taken in the testing center. If the laboratory meets once a week, 2 absences are allowed. If the student misses more than 10 minutes of class by either arriving late or leaving early, then the student will be counted as absent, missing fewer than 10 minutes is a tardy. Three tardies count as one absence. Students adding courses after classes begin are responsible for work covered from the first day of class. All classes missed count as absences. Please note the following: You are responsible for all material and announcements presented, whether you are present or absent. Withdrawal: Students may withdraw from a course anytime before the last week of classes (see the current semester college calendar, available on the MTC web site, for official dates). Students who wish to withdraw from a course must submit a withdrawal form to Records. The date of withdrawal may affect a number of things, including financial aid/ tuition reimbursement, tuition refunds, and course grades. The effective date of withdrawal depends upon the date the withdrawal form is submitted to records. It is the student s responsibility to be aware of relevant dates, to make an informed decision, and if necessary, to submit withdrawal forms in a timely fashion. For questions regarding the effect of withdrawal on financial aid or tuition reimbursement students should contact Student Financial Services. Deadlines for tuition refunds may be found on the current semester college calendar, available on the MTC web site, or by calling the cashier s office. Students who withdraw before midterm will receive a grade of W. Students who withdraw after midterm and have an overall class average of 60% or greater will receive a grade of W. Students who withdraw after midterm and have an overall class average below 60% will receive a grade of WF, which is calculated as an F.

3 Grades of W or WF are also assigned when a student exceeds the maximum number of absences allowed in a course. These grades are entered on the final grade roster along with the last date of attendance (LDA). Students should understand that the LDA does not constitute an effective date of withdrawal and should not consider a decision to stop attending class to be equivalent to withdrawal. No Shows: If you register for a course and decide not to attend for any reason, you must complete a drop form and process it through the student Records Office. You will not be automatically purged for non-attendance. If you do not submit a drop form, you will be responsible for course tuition and fees. By not officially dropping the course, you will incur a bill with the college that can only be addressed through the College s Finance Office. The college s refund policy and dates are posted each semester. Effective Spring 2015, the Student Ombudsman s office will no longer be the initial point of contact for requesting No Shows to be processed. Students who incur a bill must contact the Finance Office. Administrative Drop Requests: A student requesting an Administrative Drop resulting from medical event, death of family member, and other extenuating circumstances experienced while enrolled at Midlands Technical College should be directed to the Student Ombudsman s office. Our policy dictates a request must be made no later than 30 days after the affected term. Supporting documentation is required and must be received before the request can be processed. Once the request form is received along with supporting documentation, it takes approximately three weeks for processing. As a result of an approved Administrative Drop Request, the student may be granted a refund of tuition and fees. Military Withdrawal: According to College Procedure , students having to withdraw from college because of Military Deployment (active duty personnel) while enrolled must complete a withdrawal form and submit to the Records Office along with a copy of military orders. Disabilities Statement: The staff of Counseling and Career Services works to ensure that all educational programming and services are accessible to otherwise qualified students with disabilities. If you have a concern regarding the accessibility of websites, instructional materials, online courses and other electronic or information technology please contact Counseling and Career Services. It is the student's responsibility to self-disclose as a student with a disability and to request accommodations prior to beginning a program or course. Please contact the staff of Counseling and Career Services at (AC) or (BC) or via at disability@midlandstech.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

4 Academic Dishonesty: For more information about academic dishonesty, see the Academic Affairs Student Guidelines and Expectations attached. If you are suspected of cheating, your instructor will inform you. You may explain or refute the allegation. If your instructor still thinks the charges are founded, you will be referred to the Office of the AVP, SDS. Documentation is submitted to the Office of the AVP, SDS, by your instructor. You will then meet with either Dr. Holloway or Mr. Hayden. After the meeting, you will receive a letter with the sanction grade of zero (0) and any other sanctions deemed appropriate. You will have the right to file an appeal. Once the hearing and the notice of the right to appeal have been completed, the instructor will be notified to apply the sanction grade of zero (0). Course Requirements: Grading Scale: For Lecture: Lecture Grade: 75% Laboratory Grade: 25% A Superior Work B Good Work C Average Work D Below Average Work 0 F Unsatisfactory Work Grade for lecture test #1: Grade for lecture test #2: Grade for lecture test #3: Grade for lecture test #4: Grade for lecture test #5: Grade for lecture test #6: Grade for final exam: Lecture Grade is the 5 of the 6 lecture tests plus the final exam divided by 6. For Lab: Lab ( 1000 total points) count 25% of final grade 6 lab quizzes = 200 points, one quiz will be dropped, each remaining quiz is worth 40 points Midterm practical exam = 300 points, 75 questions, each question is worth 4 points Final practical exam = 300 points, 75 questions, each question is worth 4 points Lab book assignments/connect assignments = 150 points, each assignment is worth 25 points Oral report = 50 points If you miss a lecture exam, it will count as your drop test grade for lecture. If you take all 6 lecture exams then your lowest test grade will count as your drop grade. There is no make- up exams given in lecture or lab. The cumulative lecture final is not optional and cannot be dropped or exempted. It is 1/6 of the lecture average.

5 If all 6 lab quizzes were taken, the lowest lab quiz can be dropped by the instructor. If the student misses a lab quiz, that quiz will be counted as the dropped grade. The midterm and final lab practical cannot be dropped. For Overall Class: Multiply your lecture grade by 3 then add your lab grade to it. Divide the entire sum by 4. This is your final grade for the class. A grade of W will be assigned if the student withdraws before midterm or after midterm with a course average of at least 60. A grade of WF will be assigned if the student withdraws after midterm with a course average less than 60. Laboratory Policies and Safety Precautions: The laboratory experience is designed to supplement and complement material covered in lecture, and is an integral part of the course. Material may be presented in greater detail in lab than in lecture. The laboratory experience may include dissections, films, demonstrations, experiments, workbook exercises, research and writing assignments, and field trips. The day, time, and location of approved field trips will be held during regularly scheduled lab times. Students will provide their own transportation. The laboratory instructors will give a sufficient amount of information and guidance to allow students to complete each lab, but success in lab primarily involves the individual effort of each student. To maximize learning and to minimize the risk of accidents or injury, the following policies and rules will be observed in science labs: 1. Laboratory exercises must be completed during the assigned lab period unless otherwise designated by your instructor. 2. Students should read laboratory exercises before coming to class. 3. Do not disturb any equipment or demonstrations that have been set up until your instructor has told you how to proceed with the assignment. 4. Follow directions carefully. 5. Do not hesitate to ask your lab instructor for clarification of any instructions you do not understand. However, do not expect your lab instructor to simply give you answers to information you should be obtaining through the completion of the various lab exercises. 6. Bring all necessary materials to lab, including your text. 7. Do not bring any food or drinks into any science lab. 8. Know where the eyewash station and showers are located in each lab. Report injuries immediately. 9. Lab coats and protective eye ware are required in certain labs including microbiology and chemistry. 10. At the end of each lab, leave your lab table, returning all materials used to their proper place, and sliding your chair back under the table. 11. NO children or visitors are allowed in lab or lecture. 12. Protective eyewear must be worn for all dissections. The faculty, coordinators and Science Department Chair are here to assist you. If you are having any difficulty with your class please talk to your instructor first. You can discuss your concerns with the Science Coordinator and then with the Department Chair, if necessary, after you have addressed it with your instructor. Dr. Gregory Mancini is Beltline Science Coordinator and can be reached at Dr. Geralyne López-de-Victoria is Department Chair and can be reached through Ms. Pam McPherson, Departmental Assistant at
