Objectives 1. To help the students acquire knowledge of normal development, structures, and functions of the human body. 2. To provide a foundation for the undergraduate college and university student. 3. To provide a foundation for understanding deviations from the normal in physiological function. Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 2401) is a sophomore-level class. One semester of college chemistry is required, and a general biology or zoology class is highly recommended. Much memorization as well as comprehension is required. Due to the volume of information presented in this course, you must be prepared to spend 15 hours or more per week outside of class studying the text, lecture notes and the lab materials!!! I have prepared outlines of the PowerPoint slides that you may purchase in the bookstore. You will need to take additional notes during class and lab. You must read the chapters in the text book to gain more insight and explanation of the material presented in lecture!!Required Materials Marieb, Elaine N. & Hoehn, Katja, Human Anatomy & Physiology, 8th Edition (comes bundled with A Brief Atlas of the Human Body, 2nd edition, Study Card for My A&P, And Get Ready for A&P by Lori K Garrett and Interactive Physiology) 8 Answer Sheets. These can be obtained at the SPC Bookstore. Turn these in to me during the first week of class.

Allow time to drive, find a parking place, and take care of personal business and still be in your seat a couple of minutes before class starts. Being late for class is rude behavior, shows a lack of respect for me and your fellow classmates, and should never happen. Attendance Policy Attendance at all classes and labs is mandatory. In order for you to master the material presented, it is essential that you attend every lecture and lab. A STUDENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INITIATING HIS/HER OWN WITHDRAWAL, if that becomes necessary. A student may be administratively dropped from the class after missing a total of 3 absences during the semester. If a student is administratively (i.e. instructor initiated) withdrawn from the class, the grade appearing on the transcript will be a "F". If you decide to drop before Tuesday (Nov 22nd) then your 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, as soon as possible to prevent being administratively dropped with an "F". Last day to drop is Tues., Nov 22nd. If youare receiving financial aid, it is your responsibility to visit with the financial aid advisor to determine how dropping this course will affect your present and future financial aid eligibility. Arrive to class on time. Two tardies will be equivalent to one absence. Come to class prepared by reading lecture and lab assignments and studying previous notes. Do not be late to class!! For additional information regarding the fall semester calendar, fall registration schedule and drop/withdrawal policy and procedures, refer to the Fall 2011 Class Schedule, which is available from the Admissions and Records office or online at www.southplainscollege.edu. For additional information about SPC policies regarding class attendance, drops and withdrawals, academic probation and suspension, academic integrity, student conduct, student records, etc. please refer to the SPC General Catalog, which is available from the Admissions and Records office. Exams There will be a total of 5 exams given this semester. Your final (the 5th exam) will be partly comprehensive (includes questions from the entire course) and partly over the new material since the 4th exam. The final will be given during final exam week. All exams should be taken on the scheduled day and class time (There will be a 10 point deduction from your exam score, if you take the exam with another one of my classes other than your own.) All exams will count. There will be NO make up exams. If you miss a major exam, your final exam score will be counted twice. All other missed major exams will result in a grade of zero for that exam. There will be no outside projects, papers, or assignments to replace or raise an exam average. You will need to bring a #2 pencil on the day of an exam. Do NOT wear a baseball cap with a brim on exam days or you will be asked to remove it or wear it backwards. Class Material I will use PowerPoint to present some of the lectures this semester. You will not be able to copy all the information from the screen so the outlines of the PowerPoint lectures will be made available for purchase at the bookstore. Other study aids will be made available on the web and in the A&P audio-visual tutorial lab in the library. You will need to have access to the internet. If you do not have access at home, you can use the Technology Center on campus. Class Rules
