Course Requirements

Course Description

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 the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive (including nutrition), urinary (including fluid and electrolyte balance), and reproductive (including human development and genetics). 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.

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.

PREREQUISITES:High school biology with proof of competency through ACC department exam. This course has both skill and course prerequisites. The skill prerequisite is skill “O.” This means in addition to having to pass an ACC administered department assessment test to register for the course, you must have reading and writing skills at ACC placement skill level 5 or above or you must have passed a state-approved assessment test (TASP or COMPASS) in these areas or you must be exempt from assessment through transcripthours from another college or you must have appropriate ACT, SAT, TAKS, or TASS scores. Details at www.austincc.edu/support/assessment/assessmenteligibility.php.

If you do not have the required skill and course prerequisites you must withdraw from the class. If you do not withdraw, the instructor will drop you from the class.

Course Rationale:

This course is designed for students entering professional programs such as nursing school. It provides a foundation for the clinical topics covered in those courses by requiring mastery of factual material, laboratory techniques, and problem-solving skills. This course is a prerequisite for Introduction to Microbiology (BIOL 2420) and Anatomy and Physiology II (BIOL 2402) and is intended to adequately prepare students for these courses and for health sciences programs.

Lecture Exams: There will be four unit exams during the semester and a comprehensive final (see schedule). The exam dates and lecture portions included in each exam are indicated in the Lecture/Lab Schedule. Lecture exams can be a mixture of multiple guess, yes-no, increase/decrease/no change, what would happen…/short explanations/concept checks/illustrations/ and physiological significance (or any other possibility that I invent as the semester progresses, depending on the classes’ comprehension). The chapters covered by each exam are indicated on the course schedule and the material is specified in the learning objectives for each unit. There are no retests in this course; once you have taken an exam, you may not take it again to try for a better grade.

All exams will be given in class on the days when they are scheduled unless the class and the instructor think there is a valid reason for changing the date. Before you leave the room, you must turn in the exam or you will receive a grade of 0.

There is required comprehensive final examcovering material from the entire semester during the last class meeting. To do well on the final, students need to continuously review unit information throughout the semester.

If you have a disability, you will have to bring me a letter of accommodation before I can arrange special testing. If you have a medical condition that would require you to leave the room during the exam, you are responsible for arranging to take the exam before the rest of the class takes it. Students with disabilities must provide me with a copy of their letter of accommodation before I can make any special arrangements for lecture, lab or exams.

Cell phones and pagers must be turned OFF during exams. You may not answer your cell phones or check/write text messages during exams. Thanks to a select few cheaters all watches must now be taken off during an exam… crazy peeps. In case you have a work pager (people still use pagers??) that cannot be turned off, you may leave it with me for the entire duration of the exam. You are more than allowed to leave the room during an exam; just don’t try to use the restroom more than once… I may get suspicious.

Note: I will always try to grade the exams within one week.

Conferences– You must meet with the instructor after each exam as long as your class average is below passing (70%). If you fail to attend a scheduled conference you may be dropped from the class.

Lecture Assignments: Assignments are given on Blackboard under the “Lecture Homework” button and MUST be completed and handed in on or before the due date. You will receive no points for late lecture assignmentsand each is worth a third of a unit exam! Soooo, turn them in on time for Pete’s sake!

Late Work:Latework will NOTbe accepted. Failure to hand in assignments on time will result in a “0”.

Attendance/Class Participation: Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students (see attendance policies below). If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class. However, class attendance in and of itself is not graded. FYI: I havefound a clear correlation between attendance and class grade…

Lab Practical Quizzes: There will be at least 4 lab practical quizzes during the semester. Each lab exam is worth 52 pts. The quizzes can cover anatomy, mathematical analysis, and concept understanding. Study the lab objectives, do the prelabs (on blackboard), and relate everything back to lecture material (as best as possible) to help you ace these quizzes.

Announcementswill be put up on Blackboard, and emails may also be sent to your ACC email Id. It is your responsibility to check Blackboard regularly for announcements and make sure that your email inboxes are not full. The instructor is not responsible for any bounced email messages.

Spelling: Spellin iz emportent-

Curves: No curving will be done on any of the exams or the Final Course Grade.

Tracking Your Grades: I do NOT POST GRADES ON BLACKBOARD. Communicate with me anytime during the semester to get an update on your current grade. This allows me to discuss with each student directly what I believe they can do to improve their grades. ACC policies concerning the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act(FERPA), disallow the posting of grades on bulletin boards or communicating grades by phone or e-mail. You can find a copy of FERPA at http://www.austincc.edu/business/documents/FERPA.pdf.
