Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives
Course Rationale:
This course is designed for students entering professional programs. 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 A&P II (BIOL 2402) and is intended to adequately prepare students for these courses and for health sciences programs.
Anatomy & Physiology I and II prepares students applying to one of the following ACC Allied Health Science programs:
-
- Sonography
- Dental Hygiene
- Nursing – ADN
- Nursing – MOBT
- Personal Fitness Trainer (AAS)
- Physical Therapist Asst/PTA
Student Learning Outcomes:
Course-Level:
Specific skills and competencies expected of students who complete this course include:
- Use anatomical terminology to identify and describe locations of major organs of each system covered.
- Explain interrelationships among molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ functions in each system.
- Describe the interdependency and interactions of the systems.
- Explain contributions of organs and systems to the maintenance of homeostasis.
- Identify causes and effects of homeostatic imbalances.
- Describe modern technology and tools used to study anatomy and physiology.
- Apply appropriate safety and ethical standards.
- Locate and identify anatomical structures.
- Appropriately utilize laboratory equipment such as microscopes, dissection tools, general lab ware, physiology data acquisition systems, and virtual simulations.
- Work collaboratively to perform experiments.
- Demonstrate the steps involved in the scientific method.
- Communicate results of scientific investigations, analyze data and formulate conclusions.
- Use critical thinking and scientific problem-solving skills, including but not limited to, inferring, integrating, synthesizing, and summarizing, to make decisions, recommendations and predictions.
General Education:
As a Core Curriculum course, students completing this course will demonstrate competence in:
- Demonstrating higher level critical thinking skills, solving problems, and following directions.
- Directing their own learning activities to meet course objectives.
Departmental Common Course Objectives:
