BSC 2085 FALL 2006-1HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY IWOLFSON CAMPUSBSC 2085 FALL 2006-1HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY IBiology 2085, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, provides an in depth study of Human structureand Function. The course is primarily designed for students in seeking professional degrees innursing and other allied health professions. Courses in Cell and Molecular Biology, and GeneralChemistry, or CHM 1033 with a minimum grade of C, although not required, are highlyrecommended before taking this course.PROFESSOR: Dr. Edwin Ginés-CandelariaSequence No: 357391; Tuesdays, and Thursdays - 5:40-6:55 P.

All co-requisite courses are indicated in the "Wolfson Campus Schedule of Classes" with a "#" symbol.Students are responsible for material covered in the Laboratory, which emphasizes the anatomyportion of this course. Lecture and discussion sessions will emphasize the physiological aspectsof this course, with the assumption that students are learning anatomical structures during labsessions.Text: Marieb, E. N.

Menlo Park, California.You might want to bring the textbook to class because the professor will constantly refer to themduring lectures. The textbook is an essential component of your instruction in Human Anatomyand Physiology. It is very difficult to succeed in this course without it. Therefore, no one will beadmitted to class after the second week of classes without the required textbook for this course.Students will also be responsible to enroll in Course Compass; an online course managementsystem from which students will be able to download course materials and classroompresentations, and also will be able to assess themselves online.Lectures: The lecture schedule indicates the chapter reading assignments in the text for eachlecture period. The student is expected to read the assigned material before the schedule date,and should be prepared to discuss assigned material in class. Students should be aware that dueto the overwhelming amount of concepts to be learned; the professor will not lecture over alltopics covered in each chapter and it is the responsibility of each student to learn material that isnot even covered during lecture time. Presentation of lecture material will include traditionalmethods as well as more contemporary media technological applications and animations ofdifferent biological processes in Anatomy and Physiology.Attendance:Attendance to all learning activities is mandatory. You are responsible for alldeadlines, directions, discussions, materials, activities, assignments, or announcements coveredin class, regardless of your reason for being late to class or absent. Attendance will be checkedfor every lecture session. The professor reserves the right to deny entry, require withdrawal or2fail students who are constantly late or have had four undocumented absences during thesemester. If the student has an undocumented absence after the withdrawal deadline, theprofessor will assign a failing (F) grade regardless of the student's performance in the course atthe time. This will be enforced according to the rules and procedures established in the currentMiami-Dade community College catalog and the Student Handbook. Your performance in thecourse depends on your attendance, so please make every effort to attend all classes as scheduled.Students missing lecture are not participating and therefore, not learning. Therefore, make everyeffort to attend and participate in class because your performance in this course will be severelyaffected otherwise.Lecture Exams and Quizzes (400 points): Each exam is worth 100 points. Quizzes are worth25 points each. All exams and quizzes will be administered during regular scheduled classperiods. Quizzes will be administered approximately every two-three weeks. At the end of thesemester, only your 4 best quizzes (out of 5 quizzes taken) and your best 3 exams (out of 4 taken)will be counted towards your final grade. Quizzes will be administered during the first 10minutes of the scheduled class period. Therefore, if you arrive late to class, you will not beallowed to make up the quiz for that particular date. This grading system gives students theopportunity to use the Final Exam as an optional exam; providing that they have excelled on theother 3 exams and/or quiz assessments. However, any undocumented absences after the thirdexam will automatically make the final exam count for students who disregard this course afterthe third exam. No exceptions! Therefore, make sure that you complete the course even thoughyou have a satisfactory performance in it.Please note: THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS OR QUIZZES. Therefore, attendanceto each exam or quiz (on time) is absolutely mandatory. Furthermore, if you leave the classroomearly or immediately after the quiz, the professor will consider you absent for that class periodand your quiz will be graded as 0. Extenuating situations that prevent students from attending aparticular exam will be dealt on an individual basis. Make sure you contact your professorimmediately in such circumstances.The exams and quizzes consist of multiple choice and short answer questions and will covermaterial discussed in lectures and textbook reading assignments. Questions that involveapplications of learned material, logical reasoning, and critical thinking will also be included inlecture exams and quizzes. Any extra credit points will be earned through additional examquestions added to each unit exam, quiz, or in other written assignments. The
