Survey of Anatomy and Physiology Riverside Community College Norco Instructor: Diane Olin Room ATEC 204 Winter 2009 Time: 10:00am‐12:15pm Email : [email protected] Website: http://academic.rcc.edu/olin/amy10.jsp Text: Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 9th Edition, Elaine Marieb Course Description Designed for allied health majors, the objective of this 3 unit lecture course is to survey the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology of Homo sapiens. Topics cover the structural and functional aspects human cells, tissues and systems. The total lecture time is 54 hours. Approach to the Material You should read over the material in the textbook before lecture, take careful notes during lecture, review your notes and text,and do all the assigned worksheets and problems. Student Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to: 1. Discuss the structure and function of cellular structures 2. Understand, compare and contrast the fundamentals of membrane transport, including active and passive varieties. . 3 Identify basic chemical principles as they relate to anatomy and physiology. 4. Demonstrate a basic understanding of the importance of homeostasis. 5. Use appropriate anatomical and physiological terminology. 6. Describe the characteristics of each of the four basic tissue types 7. State the major functions and organs of each system of the human body and demonstrate a basic understanding of physiology significant to each system. 8. Understand and explain abnormalities and disorders of the human body.Grades Grades will be determined by the percentage you earn of the total possible class points. Points will be based on your performance on homework, assignments and exams. Class participation counts too! Course grades will be assigned according to the following grade scale: A > 90% of the possible points B > 80 -89% of the possible points C > 65 – 79% of the possible points D > 55- 64% of the possible points F 54% and Below of possible points What successful students should expect to do in this course: Planning Time Successful students, those who get A’s, and B’s, use their time wisely. The standard formula for college coursework is that every one hour of class time will result in two to three hours of homework and/ or studying. Successful students plan their time wisely so that they keep up with assignments. This course contains an abundance of information and is somewhat detailed. You cannot “cram” the night before an exam and expect to do well in any A &P course. Attendance ATTENDANCE IS EXPECTED, and you must be present and ON TIME for all class Sessions. It is also essential to be present for the ENTIRE lecture Also, please respect scheduled class breaks. Please turn off all beepers, cell phones, and watch alarms that make noise before coming into class; they are a serious distraction in college classes. Please instruct relatives or friends to call campus security in case of an emergency. Security will look up the class in the system and then send someone to the class.Drop Procedures If you are unable to complete the course for any reason, you must complete the drop procedure by phone or on Webadvisor to be officially removed from the course. Drops are not automatic and if a student leaves the course without completing the official ‘drop procedures’ their name will appear on the final grade roster and they will receive a grade of “F” in the course. Special Needs If you have a physical, psychiatric/emotional, medical, or learning disability that may impact your ability to carry out assigned course work, I urge you to contact the staff in Disabled Student Services Office.
