Course Requirements

BIOL 2402 Anatomy and Physiology II is the second part of a two course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology. Systems to be studied include endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive.

This course will be a combination of synchronous and asynchronous methods. Lecture will be held virtually through Blackboard Collaborate & Zoom during the listed lecture time. Lecture materials will be available on Blackboard. Students will join live lecture sessions in a synchronous virtual classroom by video on Blackboard & Zoom. Lab will be set up synchronously/asynchronously through Blackboard. Lecture Exams will be online. Lab practicals will be set up synchronously through Blackboard & Zoom. You will be required to have the textbook with Mastering A&P in order to complete the course assignments. The course requires access to the internet. ACC can assist you in obtaining iPad (has a webcam) or financial aid. That type of info can be found through https://www.austincc.edu/coronavirus

Skills Requirements:

Reading, writing, and mathematics proficiency as determined by the COMPASS or ASSET test, or by the statewide THEA test, or by providing an official transcript from another college.

Course Prerequisite:

BIOL 2401 Anatomy & Physiology I.

Instructional Methodology:

This course is a modified flipped classroom, requiring internet access. Students review content online before class and then during class work with other students to complete hands-on activities, case studies, assignments, and receive guided instruction. This approach allows students to spend more time interacting with instructors and their peers. Students are expected to actively engage in collaborative learning.

Fundamental concepts will be re-emphasized throughout the course. Critical thinking skills will be taught and tested throughout the entire semester.

In general, the course will proceed as follows:

BEFORE LECTURE CLASS

Students take notes while going through a lecture module (online and/or powerpoint). Students use a set of objectives and an outline to work through the module. Students may repeat a module as many times as they want.

DURING LECTURE CLASS

Students provide feedback using a class response system. Based on the feedback, the instructors review material and explain concepts. Students also work individually and in groups to complete hands-on activities, concept maps, case-studies, tables, etc. During class time, students will have the opportunity to ask questions over a topic they are having difficulty with.

AFTER LECTURE CLASS

Students review and master the objectives for the module covered during the class. Mandatory review activities available on Modified Mastering A&P and on Blackboard should be completed in order to master the material. Learning activities available at the Open Lab should also be completed on a weekly basis

Students take a timed, graded, single-attempt, online "GRADED Lecture Quiz" over a given module. The dates for these graded quizzes are indicated online on the Modified Mastering A&P course home.

Lab Class:

You will be using Blackboard extensively in this course. Some lab activities will require the use of PhysioEx and/or a computer outside of the classroom. If you do not have access to a computer at home, here is the info about Wifi in certain ACC parking lots. https://www.austincc.edu/coronavirus/drive-up-wifi.

BEFORE LAB

Students must actively read over the lab handout. They may also review Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL) on Modified Mastering A&P.

DURING LAB

The lab will consists of self-directed learning activities. All equipment and materials you need to complete the exercises will be supplied. You will prepare before coming to class and will work cooperatively to complete the exercises in the time allowed. Lab reports for each lab are posted in Blackboard. You will need to have your lab printout and textbook for each class. If safety equipment is necessary for the lab, bring that with you.

AFTER LAB

To master the lab objectives, students MUST attend Open Lab, and use the practice activities on Modified Mastering A&P and on Blackboard. Tutors are available to assist the students during Open Lab.

Students complete a timed, single-attempt online “GRADED Lab Quiz” on Mastering A&P.

Readings

Textbooks and Supplies:

Required Book:

Human Anatomy and Physiology by Amerman 1st or 2nd ed. WITH Modified Mastering A&P and eText Access Card,

IMPORTANT: At the ACC bookstore, make sure you buy the textbook that is wrapped with a “card” that gives you access to an excellent and REQUIRED online website called Modified Mastering A&P. This website contains an electronic version of your textbook, outstanding videos and tutoring materials, and assignments that you will be required to complete as part of the course.

If you have an older edition of the textbook or you already bought the textbook online, you must buy access to the Mastering A&P at www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com.
