Required Text: Anatomy & Physiology by Seeley,  Stephens & Tate
   If you have access to another anatomy/physiology textbook that was published within the past 5 years, use it.  The information will be essentially the same, and you can save some $.
Required Lab Handouts compiled by CBeck – accessed on class web page
Suggested Additional Texts: The Anatomy Coloring Book, Kapit/Elson
         The Physiology Coloring Book, Kapit/Macey/Meisami

Class meets Tuesdays & Thursdays: 5:30 – 7:30 pm    Lab I Room 1040
CLASS SCHEDULE
Course Objectives:
a) To familiarize students with structure and function of the major systems of the human body
b) To explore the human body's interrelationship of health and disease
c) To introduce basic laboratory procedures which monitor physiological function

Class Expectations:

1. Regular attendance and participation in class discussions and activities is expected
    of all students.  If an absence occurs, it is the student's responsibility to get notes /
    handouts from  the webpage or a classmate.  PLEASE - DO NOT ASK ME

2. Quizzes- Each Tuesday, there will be a short quiz on the previous week’s work.
     Missed quizzes may not be made up. BE ON TIME!!    The time allotted for quizzes is the
     first 20 minutes of class.  If you are one of those that like/need extra time to take a quiz –BE ON TIME!!  If you come in late, your time will be limited. If you miss 2 quizzes, you will lose 1 lecture credit, if you miss 3 or more quizzes you will lose 2 lecture credits.

3. Lab Journals - Each student will keep a journal of laboratory work.  These journals will be due on December 10th.  Journals should include all lab results (what happened, what did you observe, any questions to answer, charts to fill in, graphs, etc. will go here) as well as what your conclusion of the lab’s purpose was.  What do your results mean?  What did you learn?
Lab reports should be typed, or at least neatly hand written.  If you do not attend class, it will be very difficult to maintain a complete lab journal, as lab activities will be interspersed throughout the curriculum.

4. Disease research – Each student will choose a pathology related to one of the systems covered this quarter [integument, skeletal, muscular or nervous], and present a research project based on the pathology.  This project can be a traditional paper, an oral presentation, or a creative way of demonstrating knowledge acquired.  Regardless of the way information is presented, all students will also present an annotated bibliography of the sources used in research.  Finished projects will be due no later than November 21st.
4.  Self-evaluation & faculty evaluation is due on December 12th.

5. Evaluations are assessed on class progress: based on quizzes, class (seminar) participation/attendance, research project & lab participation/journal.
