Course Description/ Objectives: A survey of the organization, structure, function and development of human anatomical systems. Students should become adept at identifying and describing the organization, structure and development of the human body across the hierarchy of cells, tissues, organs, and systems.

There will be no “rounding up” to the next grade no mater how close you are. There will be no extra credit assignments offered.Lecture Exams: Lecture exams will cover only the material presented since the last exam. Lecture exams can not be made up unless under extraordinary, documented circumstances. Lecture exams may be composed of a combination of multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer and essay questions. You will NOT need a scantron sheet for lecture exams. Final Exam: The final exam will be 50 points of new material (sensory and endocrine systems) as well as 100 points of material from the entire course. The format will be similar to the lecture exams. Lab Exams: Lab exams will be given in a round robin format where the students rotate between 20-25 stations with 4-5 questions at each station. Lab exam questions will address the identification of a labeled structure and be short answer. Due to the time involved in setting up a lab exam there will be no lab exam make-ups. Quizzes: Quizzes will be given in lab as noted on the calendar and will address information from the previous lab. These quizzes may be of any format including multiple choice, short answer, true/false, identification, discussion or essay. Participation: This includes good laboratory etiquette such as cleanliness and teamwork as well as participation in discussions. Paper: You will be asked to write a paper on a medical, pharmacological or exercise science aspect of the topics we cover in lecture and lab. This will hopefully help you relate the content we are learning to your chosen field of study. More information on format and possible topics will be given at a later date. Additional Comments: You are expected to follow the honor pledge on every assignment: “On my honor as a University of South Carolina at Aiken student, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on the assignment/examination. To the best of my knowledge, I am not in violation of academic dishonesty.” This includes plagiarism which will be covered in more detail when I assign papers.
