Course Description:
This course is designed to be a systems approach to the study of the human body. The course covers cells, histology and various organ systems of the human body, e.g., nervous system, respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive system.  Lab covers cells, tissues, bones, muscles, and other organ systems and includes dissection of selected organisms.  An introduction to the function of each system is also included. This course is designed for students who will be entering the health care professions, particularly nursing.

Required Texts and Materials: Human Anatomy, 1st Ed., by McKinley & O’Loughlin. McGraw-Hill. 2006. ISBN 0-07-319169-8.            

Hole’s Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual,11^th ed., by Terry R. Martin, et.al. McGraw-Hill. 2004. ISBN 0-07-243891-6

Latex gloves – student’s choice – for dissections.

Course Objectives: 1. To identify the significant concepts concerning the basic anatomy and structure of the human body.

2. To prepare the student adequately for continued study for an occupation in the medical field or advanced biological sciences.

3. To aid the student in becoming knowledgeable about cell structure and function, histology, the various organ systems, and some diseases and disorders related to human anatomy.

Class Attendance:
It is expected that each student will be responsible in attending class lecture sessions. Due to the great amount of subject matter normally covered in a given class session, the student who does not attend class faithfully will be at a great disadvantage.

A laboratory session will usually involve the use of normal skills along with visual perception of results obtained from experimentation, microscopic viewing and dissection. It is therefore expected that the student’s participation be 100%.

Evaluation:
Each student will be assigned a letter grade consistent with their combined success on major exams, lecture and laboratory quizzes, and class hand-ins. There will often be points awarded for various activities for which the student must be present. Students who miss class, or are tardy, or leave early will miss those points. The final course grade assigned to each student will be based on the total number of points accumulated during the semester according to the following scale:

A 90 - 100%

B 80 - 89.9%

C 70 - 79.9%

D 55 - 69.9%

F 0 - 54.9%

Each student will be allowed to drop one test score and one hand-in score or quiz score prior to the Final Exam. Class assignments that are late will receive a zero grade. A Final Exam that includes comprehensive questions will be required of all students. The instructor reserves the right to modify evaluation procedures for students who experience extensive medical problems but advance notice is required unless the student is comatose. Students hoping for consideration of make-up work must speak with the instructor in advance or leave their name and excuse on the telephone answering machine in advance at the number listed previously.

SCC Board Policy #523: Code of Academic Conduct.

Academic honesty is a fundamental attribute of higher learning. Evaluation of each student’s level of knowledge and understanding is a vital part of the teaching process, and it requires a variety of methods of assessment. Any act that interferes with the process of evaluation by misrepresenting the relationship between the work being evaluated and the student’s actual state of knowledge is an act of academic dishonesty. These acts of dishonesty include, but are not limited to:

Fraud: Acts of dishonesty, which include falsification of documents, fabrication of data and altering solutions to be resubmitted for a grade.

Cheating: Any deceptive act that involves the submission of academic work purported to be one’s own when in fact the work was obtained from someone else. These acts may include copying or attempting to copy from another person’s test or assignment, allowing someone else to copy from a test and/or assignment, attempting to use unauthorized aids to complete an assignment, and multiple submission of the same work to be graded as different assignments.

Plagiarism: Misrepresenting someone else’s words, ideas, or data as one’s own original work. Students may avoid plagiarism by fully and consistently crediting the person or person’s responsible for the original work, including paraphrasing.

Forgery: Any attempt to misrepresent another person’s signature, initials, computer login, or other identifying mark.

Facilitating Dishonesty: Actions that assist another person in committing a dishonest act.

SCC Administrative Guideline #101 will be used to deal with violations in the Code of Academic conduct.

Tentative Class Assignment Schedule: There may be adjustments to this schedule, but these will be announced in class.
