Course Requirements
Paired course: This course is designed for students entering into professional programs, with a focus on those pursuing careers in allied health. Many community college students interested in allied health and higher medical programs can benefit from gaining a background in basic biology prior to attempting more demanding and conceptually challenging classes. This course will cover many of the topics necessary to do well in your prerequisite course work and clinical course work. It will also provide you a foundation in laboratory skills and hone your problem solving abilities. The first five weeks of the course will revolve predominantly around BIOL1308 (introductory biology) while the second eleven weeks of the course will focus predominantly on BIOL2401 (introduction to anatomy and physiology I).
Course Description BIOL1308 (Introduction to Biology): An introduction to basic biological concepts including the metric system, physical and chemical properties of life, cell structure and function, cell reproduction, and metabolism. Critical thinking skills, study skills, and basic math skills are also included. This course is designed to prepare students to take the anatomy and physiology assessment tests, anatomy and physiology courses (BIOL 2401, BIOL 2402, BIOL 2404), and general biology courses (including BIOL 1408 and BIOL 1406). This course is not part of the core curriculum.
BIOL 2401: Anatomy and Physiology I is the first 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: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. 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 integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and special senses.
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: This course has skill prerequisite R which means you must have reading skills at ACC placement skill level 5 or above or you must have passed a state-approved assessment test (TASP or COMPASS) in reading or you must be exempt from assessment through transcript hours from another college or you must have appropriate ACT, SAT, TAKS, or TASS scores. For more details see http://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.
