BIOLOGY 252 FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY Fall 2009 Course Information This course is introductory but is quite difficult and comprehensive The lecture will primarily be a discussion of physiology of the human body taking a systems approach Anatomy and histology will also be included in lecture although the study of most anatomy will take place in the lab The material taught in the lecture and the lab will be tested separately but the grades combined for the final course grade Lecture TR at 12 30 1 45 in Carrington Hall Room 009 Laboratory Is a co requisite You CANNOT take the lecture without the lab Labs will be taught by Teaching Assistants coordinated by me If you have a problem with lab try to work things out with your TA before bringing it to my attention but feel free

1 3pm Mondays and Fridays in Wilson 104A I will meet anytime outside of those hours by appointment for those who cannot make it during regular office hours Lecture Textbook Anatomy Physiology by Marieb and Hoehn 3rd edition This book comes with a software study aid called InterActive Physiology that is not required but is a great study aid Lab Manual For lab you are NOT REQUIRED to purchase the lab manual Human Anatomy Lab Manual by Johnson A free version will be make available to you on Blackboard I highly recommend the manual for those of you who have trouble with or desire further exercise in visualizing bone muscle relationships The optional manual contains black and white drawings for you to color Kinesthetic learning such as this is very effective for those who are not great at memorizing lots of information and are more visual I strongly recommend purchasing access to the software Practice Anatomy Lab 2 0 available at www practiceanatomylab com Ask any former student who used it and they will tell you how happy they were with it Philosophy of grading and testing I believe strongly in offering a difficult course that challenges the student The student who receives an A will have mastery of the subject matter as is recommended by the university s guidelines The testing for this course will be based entirely on lectures That doesn t mean the textbook or the powerpoint slides are useless so use them but use them wisely Grading policy and other information Outside of lecture I will make any important information known through the announcements section of Blackboard so be sure to check it often Grades will be posted to blackboard as soon as they are available after exams Your grade for this course will be determined by 3 noncumulative exams and lab as follows Exams 75 3 exams will be given and each will comprise 25 of your final grade Lab 25 The required lab comprises 25 of your final grade There is no separate grade for lab This will work in your favor since lab grades are typically higher than lecture exam grades Your TA will explain the details of lab grading READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE I will not be dropping your lowest grade If you decide to remain enrolled in this course make sure you are willing to take the grade you deserve based on your performance You will be graded on the basis of your achievement alone not your improvement Grading
