I. Welcome!

Welcome to Anatomy & Physiology I – This is a basic core course for most health professional careers. You should be

excited to learn about the human body. Its detail and precision should astound and amaze you with each body system

we cover!

II. Course Catalog Description

This course provides the student with knowledge of the structure and function of the human body. The general organization of the body and the structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems will be covered. The Lab extends the concepts of the lecture concepts. Anatomy & Physiology I (BI 24003) must be taken concurrently with Anatomy & Physiology I Lab (BI 24011). STUDENTS MUST TAKE THE SAME INSTRUCTOR FOR LECTURE AND LAB.

III. Course Rationale: The natural sciences provide the opportunity for the development of independent, creative, and logical thinking while they enhance one’s understanding of the effects of the sciences upon the individual, society and the environment. The information gained from studies in the biological and physical sciences is based upon acute observations, experimentation, and arriving ad logical conclusions. The decision-making processes that are used daily in coping with life in a modern society are basically those practiced in all science classes. The historical development of this logical process is an integral part of each science class, and as such, provides the individual with a foundation for continued personal growth.

IV. Course Objectives

By the end of the course, students will have Implement a substantial vocabulary in anatomical terminology and physiological processes through written

and oral communications. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the scientific method and apply acute observational skills. Differentiate diseases based on structural abnormalities and identify their physiological consequences. Implement and use proper techniques in using a compound light microscope.

V. Course Prerequisites

C or better in CP 02023 Fundamentals of Language, or the appropriate placement test score in reading (19 or above on ACT, 82 or above on COMPASS) or a C or better in English Composition I.

IX. Basis for Final Grade

Assessment for Anatomy and Physiology I and Lab will focus on both lecture and lab portions of the course. The student

will receive the same final grade in lecture and the lab portion of the course. The grading is based on the 100% scale

and is broken down as follows:

Assessment Percent of Final Grade

Lecture 45%

Lecture Exams 35%

Lecture Quizzes 5%

Study Questions 2.5%

Discussion Topics 2.5%

Lab 35%

Lab practical exams 35%

Final Exam

20%

100%

There will be 7 lecture exam grades. 6 seventy-five minute written lecture exams will be given. (Chapters 1-2B, 3, 4-5, 6-8, 9-10, and 11) These exams will consist of fill in the blank, matching, multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions. This highest lecture exam grade will be doubled. The lowest lecture exam grade will be dropped. The only exception to this will be if the lowest lecture exam grade was received for cheating. Attendance will count as lecture exam #7 but may not be doubled or dropped. Please refer to the attendance policy (section XIII) of this handout.

Lab exams will be practical lab exams with 50 questions from the material covered. Some questions will also be taken from the review sheets in your lab manual (Lab Exams from labs 1-4, 6-8, 9-11 bone names, 10-11 bone markings, 15, and 19) No lab exam grades will be dropped or doubled. There will be 6 practical lab exam grades. Your seventh lab exam grade is an attendance grade in lab and it will not be dropped or doubled.

It is not possible to complete all of the necessary work for one lab in one three-hour laboratory session. Some lab exercises can be completed in large part at home using your textbook and laboratory manual; others will require that you come in and spend extra time in the laboratory. In order to make the best use of the assigned lab period you must study the assigned lab exercise(s) prior to coming to lab. READ, READ, READ! There are review sheets following each lab exercise in the laboratory manual. These review sheets are assigned. Copies of completed review sheets will be made available. Please use these for the intended purpose – to check your answers. Just copying answers yields little benefit. Lecture quizzes will be administered online for every chapter (1, 2B, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11). Due dates are posted on the portal. Once a quiz has been opened then you must take the quiz. Quizzes may be taken late but ten points will be deducted for each day it is late. Quizzes may be taken as many as 5 days late (except the last week of class when days are limited). Study questions for each chapter (1, 2B, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11) are posted on the portal under the lecture page of the course. Directions for the study questions are listed in the appendix section of this handout and the portal. There are three discussion topics due this semester in this course. Directions are posted on the portal and below. The grading rubric is listed in the appendix section of this handout. The requirements for the Discussion Papers and the grading rubric are as follows:

- normal font - separate title page required - 1" margin on all sides: use a ruler and measure it - a copy of the article attached - double-spaced - no plagiarizing allowed – see Academic Dishonesty Policy - 2 complete copies turned in for each assignment (discussion rubric, title page, your summary, and copy of article, any works cited if needed) and staple each complete copy in the upper left hand corner - professional scientific journals only: directions for finding a scientific journal are posted on the portal - no newspaper articles and no magazines - this is not a report, but a position paper... tell me your opinion about this journal article - MLA or APA style must be used for in-text citation

It is a requirement of this course that all students take the NLN Achievement Test in Anatomy & Physiology at the end of

APII. Your score is counted as a lecture exam grade, and you must take the test to receive credit for the course. The departmental, comprehensive final lecture exam will consist of only multiple-choice questions. It is mandatory and

will count 20% of your final grade for the course. If your score on the final exam (not including bonus points) is higher than your final average in the class, then the instructor will assign the higher of the two grades as your final grade in the course.

Failure to take the final exam will result in a grade of F being assigned as the final course grade. All assignments or written course work must be in blue or black ink or pencil or they will not be accepted and will receive a

grade of zero.

X. Grade Dissemination

Midterm grades will be posted on Campus Connect when the registrar requires them. Final grades will also be posted on Campus Connect once all grades, including the final exam) are received. You can access your assignment grades online by logging in to this myANC course and clicking on Coursework (http://myanc.anc.edu). Mid-tem and final grades can be accessed using Campus Connect on myANC. Please note that scores returned mid-term are unofficial grades. If you need help accessing myANC contact the ANC Helpdesk by email: [email protected]

XI. Course Policies: Grades

Late Work and Make-up Policy: Make-up work will only be considered for excused absences and will be at the discretion and convenience of the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to talk to the instructor about make-up work in a timely manner. Extra Credit Policy: Bonus points can only be earned three ways. See the potential bonus points handout in the appendix section of this handout and on the portal for details.

Grades of "Incomplete": The current College policy concerning incomplete grades will be followed in this course. Incomplete grades are given only in situations where unexpected emergencies prevent a student from completing the course and the remaining work can be completed the next semester. Your instructor is the final authority on whether you qualify for an incomplete. Incompletes must be made up by mid-term of the following semester or the “I” will automatically be recorded as an “F” on your transcript. Rewrite Policy: This course does not offer a rewrite policy. Essay Commentary Policy: This course does not have an essay commentary policy. Group Work Policy: There is no group work for the lecture. Study groups are highly encouraged and recommended, but they are not required. All lab components will be group work. Students will rely on their lab partners for data determined by experimental procedures. However, lab exams are individual scores, not group scores.

XII. Course Policies: Technology and Media

Email: Arkansas Northeastern College has partnered with Google to host email addresses for ANC students. myANCmail accounts are created for each student enrolled in the current semester and is the email address your instructor will use to communicate with you. Access your email account by going to http://mail.google.com/a/smail.anc.edu and using your first and last names, separated by a period for your username. Your default password is your Student ID. If you cannot access your student email, contact the MITS department at 762-1020 ext 1150 or ext 1207 or send an email to [email protected]. E-mail will be used as a means of communication when I am not available (after office hours / weekends). Student emails will be written using this format: firstname.lastname.AP1.daytime.termyear example: lance.morris.AP1.MW925.sp15 Students that do not use this format will not receive a prompt reply due to the lack of information. E-mail is checked on a regular basis throughout the school day and will be checked prior to 8:00 p.m. through the school week. Response time will be relatively short if the email is sent M-F. Response time on the weekends will fluctuate throughout the day, but again, email will be checked before 8:00 pm. Internet: This course has a web component on myANC. MyANC is the web component for this course. Online lectures are presented through Camtasia. If a student misses one or more lectures, the material may be viewed through these lectures. They can be watched as many times as the student needs. Lecture handouts, study guides, and other supplemental material is on the MyANC Portal homepage of the Anatomy & Physiology I course. Laptop Usage: If a student so chooses to use a laptop, it is acceptable for note taking. Classroom Devices:

Calculators are not required for lecture or lab. Digital recorders are acceptable for taping the lecture materials. CELL PHONES, BEEPERS, PAGERS, OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC OR COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE MUST BE TURNED OFF, PLACED ON SILENT OR VIBRATE AND PUT AWAY DURING CLASS. IF A PHONE, ETC., GOES OFF OR IS VISIBLE DURING CLASS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!!! If you need your phone turned on because of an emergency situation, please talk to me before class or the above policy will apply. Classroom Response Clickers: At this time, classroom response clickers are not required or used. This does not mean that they will not be utilized in future semester lectures. Course Blog or Wiki: This course does not offer a course blog or wiki. Computer Labs: In addition to general-purpose classrooms, a number of computer laboratories are provided for instructional and student use. These networked laboratories are state-of-the-art and fully equipped with computers, printers, Internet connections and the latest software. The labs are open to students enrolled in one or more credit hours at the College. Technology Support: A lab assistant is generally present in the computer lab in B202 for assistance in using the College computers. These assistants cannot help you with course assignments; specific questions regarding the technology requirements for each course should be directed to the instructor of the course. Problems with myANC or College email accounts should be addressed by email to [email protected].

XIII. Course Policies: Student Expectations

Disability Access: Arkansas Northeastern College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all persons with disabilities. This First Day Handout is available in alternate formats upon request. Students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course must contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester to discuss needed accommodations. No accommodations will be provided until the student has met with the instructor to request accommodations. Students who need accommodations must be registered with Johnny Moore in Statehouse Hall, 762-3180. Attendance Policy: In order to learn, you must be present; you must be prompt! There are no secrets or shortcuts to learning Anatomy & Physiology. The chapters should be read prior to the class discussion. It is recommended that a student with 5 or more absences at midterm (3 during summer classes) withdraw from the class. Rules of the college prohibit instructors from dropping students from the class role for any reason. The student must accept the responsibility for withdrawing from any course to avoid an unwanted grade. Attendance will be taken every class/lab period. Attendance will count as one lecture exam grade. You will begin the semester will a 100. Each class that meets 2 days a week (during Fall or Spring semesters), 5 points each class you miss will be deducted from your grade. Each class that meets 1 day a week (during Fall or Spring semesters), 10 points each class will be deducted from your grade. Each lab you miss (during Fall or Spring semesters), 10 points will be deducted from your grade. In Summer, 10 points will be deducted from each class and lab meeting time if you are absent. Each time you are tardy (in any semester), 3 points will be deducted from your grade. If you are not in class when I call roll, you are absent. If you do arrive late, you are counted as absent unless you notify me at the end of class/or break during lab on the day you are late. If you interrupt class to notify me I will deduct 10 points! Attendance for online students in lab will be just the same as a regular class. For lecture, online students will be required to email each week. I will discuss this with my online students when we meet the first time. As a courtesy, please let your instructor know if you have decided to drop the course. Unless you notify your instructor you will continue to receive emails concerning the course. Lab Safety Policy The ANC Lab Safety Policy will be adhered to. Students must sign and turn in the ANC Lab Safety Policy in order to attend lab. In doing so, students agree to abide by these policies. These policies are in the best interest of the student to keep them safe in the laboratory setting. Each specific lab may not follow all of the specifics of the policy if they do not apply to that course. These specifics will be covered in class. Students will receive 1 warning if they do not follow these safety policies. The first warning will result in the loss of attendance points for the lab and the student may still attend lab (unless the student’s safety is contraindicated by the lab content). Any other subsequent infractions will result in the student losing attendance points and leaving lab immediately. No exceptions!

Page 6: Arkansas Northeastern College First Day Handout

Student ID Policy Students are provided a photo ID at the point of registration. All students must present a valid student ID when positive student identification is necessary. ANC facilities such as the Adams/Vines Library and the Briggs/Sebaugh Wellness Center require a valid student ID for use. Professionalism Policy: Per classroom etiquette: mobile phones, iPods, etc. must be silenced during all classroom and lab lectures. Those not heeding this rule will be asked to leave the classroom/lab immediately so as to not disrupt the learning environment. Please arrive on time for all class meetings. If you know ahead of time that you will be late, please contact the instructor ahead of time and provide that information. If a student is late for a lecture/lab, I have no problem with entering the class as long as it is done in a professional manner (no noise, no talking, etc). Academic Integrity Policy: Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Students are expected to do their own work. Plafiarism, using the words of others without express permission or proper citation, will not be tolerated. Any cheating (giving or receiving) or other dishonest activity will, at minimum, result in a zero on that test or assignment and may be referred, at the discretion of the instructor, to the Department Chair and/or Boce President of Instruction for further action. If you are uncertain as to what constitutes academic dishonesty, please consult ANC’s Student Handbook for further details. (http://www.anc.edu/docs/anc_handbook.pdf) In Anatomy & Physiology I, the Division of Arts & Sciences Academic Integrity Policy will be enforced. Each student will be required to sign a contract that they understand and will adhere to the policy. The policy is found on the portal and in the appendix section of this handout. Any student caught cheating on any work will automatically receive a failing grade for the lecture and lab. Also, the name (or names) of the guilty party will be turned in to the Division Chair for record.

Studying together is acceptable and encouraged because such can be helpful in learning; but each class member is expected to prepare class assignments and test alone based on his/her knowledge and individual effort. Academic & Career Enrichment Advising Center: The Academic & Career Enrichment (ACE) Advising Center is located in Statehouse Hall in room S145. The ACE Advising Center advises all new ANC students. Once a student is progressing through his/her program of study the student will be assigned an advisor in the field of study. Prospective students are provided test prep assistance through the computerized Skills Tutor system for Compass test placement. The ACE Advising Center also houses a Virtual Career Center including career placement services, as well as academic tutoring services for enrolled students. The tutoring services offered are one-on-one turoring, group tutoring, and group labs for specific classes.

Other Student Support Services: Many departments are ready to assist you reach your educational goals. Be sure to check with your advisor; the ACE Advising Center, Room L145 and Student Support Services, Room W207; to find the right type of support for you.

ARKANSAS NORTHEASTERN COLLEGE ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY Integrity: firm adherence to a code http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/integrity Arkansas Northeastern College promotes academic integrity as the only fair and ethical way to achieve your educational goals. Cheating, plagiarism, collusion, giving or receiving test questions, use of annotated texts or teacher’s editions are all violations of this code. Ultimately, you are held responsible for all college work that you do - inside and outside of class. To help you keep to the level of integrity ANC requires, the College provides the following definitions: Cheating: to practice fraud or trickery: to violate rules dishonestly http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cheat Examples: giving or receiving test questions/answers; copying computer files from another student; submitting another’s work as your own; using any method to retrieve information in violation of the instructor’s guidelines Plagiarism: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own: use (another's production) without crediting the source : to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plagiarize Examples: using the exact wording of another without the proper use of quotation marks and citations; paraphrasing another’s ideas without giving credit to the producers or writers of the source Collusion: secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/collusion Examples: assisting another in an act of academic dishonesty; providing/accepting papers, projects, computer files or test answers to/from another student; allowing another student to copy one’s work, including, but not limited to, essays, term papers, homework assignments, math problems, lab exercises and science lab manuals; working together on an assignment or take-home exam when instructed not to do so; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site; copying test questions, in any form, from the computer screen in an Internet course; allowing another student to view test/quiz items in an Internet course, whether purposefully or negligently (not logging out of myANC in a public area) Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and will not be tolerated at ANC. The following consequences are in effect for all ANC courses: 1st Offense: The instructor will determine the consequences of the academic dishonesty based on his/her policy in the First Day Handout for that course. The student’s name and documentation of the offense will be submitted to the office of the Dean/Chair of that Division. 2nd Offense: The student will be required to meet with the Division Dean/Chair and/or Vice President of Instruction. At that time, the Dean/Chair and/or VP of Instruction will decide the appropriate consequences of the academic dishonesty, possibly including a failing grade in the course. If the first and second offenses occurred in internet courses, then that student will be banned from enrolling in future internet courses at ANC. Second offense does not have to occur in the same class or same division as the first offense; this policy is in effect for all ANC courses. Instructors have additional policies in effect for their particular courses, and these are clearly stated in the First Day Handout. Consult with your instructor if you have any doubt as to what constitutes violations of academic integrity in his/her particular course.

SCIENCE SAFETY RULES AND PROCEDURES AGREEMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------

To ensure that science experiments are safe, positive learning experiences, students should read, discuss, and sign this science safety rules and procedures agreement. The student and science instructor should keep a signed, dated copy.

------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Perform the experiments as directed. Do not do anything which is not part of an approved experimental procedure.

Follow all instructions given by your teacher or adult supervisor. 2. Be properly prepared to do the experiment. Read the written procedures in advance and understand what you are

going to do. Lack of familiarity wastes your time and is a major cause of injury. Know the hazards before you do the experiment.

3. Never work without adult supervision. 4. Wear appropriate protective equipment. At appropriate times a lab coat or apron and ANSI approved eye protection

should be worn at all times. This will usually mean chemical splash goggles. In addition, gloves and face shields should be used as appropriate.

5. Learn the locations and operation of emergency equipment. This includes eyewash, safety shower, fire extinguisher, fire blanket, sinks, and first aid supplies. Know what to do in case of emergency.

6. Act in a responsible manner at all times. No horseplay or fooling around will be tolerated in the lab or experimental area.

7. Wear leather shoes which cover the entire foot. No sandals, high heels or open toed, or canvas shoes. Clothing should not be loose and floppy, especially in the sleeves. Some new fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn. Your arms and legs should be covered.

8. Tie back long hair to keep it away from flames and chemicals. 9. Never taste a chemical. Check odors only if instructed to do so, by gently wafting some of the vapor towards your nose

with your hand. Be sure your work area is adequately ventilated for your experiment. 10. Turn off your Bunsen burner or other beat source whenever you are not using it. Never let it operate unattended. 11. Read the chemical labels very carefully. Read them 3 times: when you pick it up; just before you use it; and after you

are finished. Many mistakes - some dangerous - result from mixing the wrong chemicals. Review (Material Safety Data Sheets) MDSD's for each chemical used in the laboratory experiment.

12. Smoking, eating, or drinking in the lab or experimental work area are forbidden. 13. Report all accidents, injuries, and close-calls to your instructor or adult supervisor immediately. You must seek

appropriate treatment for all injuries. 14. Dispose of chemicals properly. Nothing goes down the drain. Containers should be available for waste chemicals.

Broken glass goes in special receptacles. 15. Never return unused reagents to the reagent bottle. Be careful to take only what you actually need. Do not

contaminate the reagents. 16. Clean up all spills immediately. This includes water. 17. You must report any and all health conditions that might pose an unacceptable risk to your instructor immediately. 18. Treat all chemicals with the respect they deserve. Know the hazards before you handle the material. 19. Never take chemicals, supplies, or equipment out of the laboratory without the knowledge and consent of the science

instructor. 20. Wash off chemicals splashed or spilled on your skin or body immediately and for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated

clothing immediately. Notify your teacher or adult supervisor. 21. Clean your lab bench, put away all equipment and reagents, and wash your hands at the end of each work session. 22. Willful noncompliance will result in dismissal or suspension from the laboratory. 23. Contact lenses should not be worn. Fitted goggles are essential if, for therapeutic reasons, contact lenses must be

worn. 24. Always wash hands and arms with soap and water before leaving the work area. This applies even if one has been

wearing gloves. 25. Never perform unauthorized work, preparations, or experiments in chemical work areas. 26. Never attempt to pick up broken glassware. Always use a broom and dust pan to clean up broken glass.
