One semester of college chemistry is required, and a general biology or zoology class is highly recommended. NOTE: Chemistry 1406 is required as a prerequisite for pre-nursing students, so pre-nursing students should take Chem 1406 prior to enrollment in Biol 2401! A less advisable option is to take Chem 1406 concurrently with Biol 2401. For students enrolled in other health career programs such as Rad Tech, HIS, Surg Tech, etc. where Chem 1406 is not required for these programs, you are strongly urged to take Biol 0300, Chem 1301, Chem 1406 or Biol 1413 prior to enrollment in Biol 2401! A strong background in chemistry is essential for3 understanding anatomy and physiology, and will increase your chance of success in Biol 2401!!!! This course is very detail-oriented!!!! Therefore, the memorization of very detailed information, as well as comprehension of that information is required to establish a basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Due to the volume of information covered and the rapid pace of this course, you must be prepared to spend lots of time outside of class studying the text, lecture notes and the lab materials!!! You should be prepared to study in the lab outside of your regular class period (especially when we are learning bones and bone markings and skeletal muscles), and be aware that many resources (the Reese campus and Levelland SPC Libraries, A&P Labs in this building, etc.) have limited hours of operation during the semester. Because of the tremendous volume of information you need to learn and limited lecture time, you must read and study the information presented in the chapters in the textbook. I expect you to learn this material even though we may not have covered it in class. I have prepared outlines of the Power Point slides- they are not complete! They will assist you in following along in lecture and in studying the textbook. Required Materials: 1. Textbook Marieb, Elaine N. and Hoehn, Katja., Human Anatomy and Physiology, 8th Edition (NEW or USED) NEW- comes bundled with A Brief Atlas of the Human Body, 2nd Edition, Student access kit with access code for Marieb website including e- book, Get Ready for A&P by Lori K. Garrett, PAL, Benjamin Cummings Interactive Physiology 10-system tutorial program OR *Alternate Anatomy and Physiology text (see below) 2. Access to Marieb Website- NEW text comes bundled with access code OR if using USED text or different text (see below) will need to purchase access online at www.myaandp.com 3. Photographic Lab Atlas- comes bundled with NEW Marieb 8th ed text OR if using USED text or different text- several atlas’available in bookstore 4. Outline of Power Point slides - available on Blackboard 5. 4 Scantron answer sheets for exams- available in bookstore4 *If you have an anatomy and physiology text other than the Marieb 8th edition text, consult your instructor, as it may likely be acceptable for this course. However, you will need to purchase access to the Marieb website at www.myaandp.com . Access to the Marieb website will enable you to utilize the study resources on the website, including the Get Ready for A&P workbook, PAL, and the Benjamin Cummings Interactive Physiology 10-system tutorial program. You can also subscribe to receive the online version of the Marieb 8th edition textbook. Attendance Policy: Attendance at all lectures and labs is mandatory. In order for you to master the material presented, it is essential that you attend every lecture and lab. I routinely take attendance at the start of each lecture and lab period. If you are not in attendance when roll is taken but come in later, it is imperative that you notify me that you are in attendance, as my records will indicate that you are absent. A student may be administratively dropped after missing a total of 4 absences during the semester. I will closely monitor your attendance and if/when you accrue 4 absences during the semester, I may drop you from the course for non-attendance. It is your responsibility to discuss with me any situations that preclude you from attending class and cause you to accrue numerous absences, to avoid being dropped from the course for non-attendance. If a student is administratively (i.e. instructor initiated) withdrawn from the class for non-attendance, the grade on transcript will be an “X” or “F”. If absence from the class is unavoidable due to illness, funeral, official school function, etc. it is your responsibility to obtain the notes and information we covered in class from a classmate. The last day to drop classes with a “W” is Tuesday, April 26, 2011. If you drop the class before April 26, 2011, the grade on your transcript will be a “W”. If you decide to stop attending class, it is your responsibility to take the proper action to have this course officially dropped from your schedule immediately, to avoid being administratively dropped (by me for non-attendance) with an “X” or “F”. NOTE: If you are receiving financial aid, it is your responsibility to visit with your financial aid advisor to determine how dropping this course will affect your present and future financial aid eligibility. (The 60% class attendance date is ____________; if you drop the class prior to this date OR if I
