HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY - BIOLOGY 155 Course Description: A lecture and laboratory course in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Study begins with basic terminology and cell structure; then extends to a survey of the organ systems. Laboratory study enhanced via microscopic study of tissues, preserved specimens and anatomic models, the use of interactive computer models, cat dissection, and the examination of plastinated cadaver(s). A strong biology background, Biology 132, Medical Terminology or Body Structure and Function is recommended. Prerequisites: ENG 085, MTH 110, and CEM 131, 137 or 141 Instructor: Jan Bradford - Office JM 110 - Hours MW 4-5pm; T 8-9am & 11am-2:30pm; M/Th Online office hours.

Grade: The grade you earn in this course will be based upon total points accumulated on: 1) Scheduled exams (l00 pts. each) 4) Take Home Quizzes (5 pts. each) 2) Research Paper (25 pts.) 5) Laboratory grade (25 pts.) 3) Lab Practicals (l0-50 pts. each) 6) Possible Assignments for Course Assessment Grading scale: 4.0 (A) 95-l00%; 3.5 (A-/B+) 90-94%; 3.0 (B) 85-89%; 2.5 (B-/C+) 80-84%; 2.0 (C) 75-79%; l.5 (C-/D+) 70-74%; l.0 (D) 65-69%; 0.5 (D-) 60-64%. You will be expected to keep a record of your grades. You may calculate your grade at any time. Absence Policy: You are responsible for all assignments, handouts and materials covered in lecture and in lab exercises. If you must miss a lab exercise or an exam, it is your responsibility to arrange make-up. The privilege of making-up exams and lab practicals will be extended only in the case of emergency, illness, or previously authorized business. Please let me know in advance whenever possible. All make-ups will be different; the second (and subsequent) make-ups point value will be 80% of your actual score. Lab work can be made-up by attending other lab sections, or by doing the work on your own. General Philosophy: You are an adult and a college student. As such you are expected to be able to work and learn independently, and to be responsible for all assignments and materials. This is a difficult course, and will cover a tremendous amount of material; that will require hard work and discipline. You will need to keep up, as the pace of the class is fast, and accelerates as we cover the last few chapters and get into consolidation and review. There are no quick, easy ways; what you learn here will be directly proportional to the amount of effort you have expended. You're also expected to be considerate of the rights of others and not to interfere with those who are trying to study, work and learn. Miscellaneous: 1. You are expected to keep a complete and well-organized notebook of lecture notes, assignments, grades and other material covered in lecture or lab. This will not be collected or graded but will be for your benefit since it will provide your main source of information. 2. No materials will be used during examinations of any kind, except those provided by your instructor. No electronic devices are allowed during examinations. Cell phones must be off! You will need a #2 pencil for examinations. 3. An exam score curve MAY be used for each exam. The curve is a privilege.4. It is expected that problems that occur because you feel an error has been made, or disagree with what has been done, or feel that you have been treated unfairly, will be brought to my immediate attention so that they can be resolved. 5. There will be no extra credit projects for this course, since it is felt that your time will be better allocated in studying the assigned materials. 6. Supplemental materials may be used at your home or in the JCC Computer Labs. The text’s companion website is available -- no access code required. http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=index&itemId=0471689343&bcsId=2287. 7. Student tutors may be available on a need basis, at no cost to the student being tutored. Stop by the Center for Student Success. 8. Students with documented disabilities should contact the Center for Student Success as soon as possible to ensure that accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. Contacting CSS is the first step in acquiring the appropriate accommodations to facilitate your learning. 9. A student found cheating or plagiarizing information will either receive a score of zero on that particular exam or assignment, or a grade of 0.0 in the course. In addition, the Academic Deans will be informed of any such incident. The JCC Academic Honesty Policy can be found online at: http://www.jccmi.edu/administration/deans/Policies/Academic%20Honesty%20Policy.doc LABORATORY PROCEDURE: Lab is a very important learning component of this course. Cooperation with other students and the instructor in keeping the lab orderly and clean is expected. Please observe the following laboratory guidelines, and encourage your partners to do the same. 1. Specific instructions will be given at the beginning of each lab period. You will be expected to complete all the assignments that require dissection or lab apparatus during this time. 2. You will be expected to return all materials to their proper place at the end of the lab period. Apparatus that has been used should be washed with tap water and blotted dry with paper towels. Please leave materials neatly arranged; all members of each working group will be held responsible for the condition and return of all lab materials. 3. Consult with other members of the class and the instructor concerning any part of your work. Cooperation and consultation are encouraged: however, make certain that you completely understand everything since you will be held individually accountable for all materials covered. 4. Disruptive behavior and loud conversations will not be permitted. 5. You are free to leave the lab when you have completed the assigned materials. Do not disturb others who are still working. 6. 25 points of your final
