Course Objective:
This course is designed to present the
second half of a basic introduction to human anatomy and physiology for
those students majoring in the Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences. Topics to be covered in this course include
muscle structure and function; cardiovascular system; blood and immunity; and
the respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. A broad range of topics in anatomy and
physiology will be covered; however, the diversity of student backgrounds will
make it difficult to cover individual topics in great detail. Should you
desire further information on any of the subjects covered in lecture or the
laboratory, please see the instructor.
Course Policies and
Expectations:
1) Attendance Policy: Attendance
in lecture is REQUIRED (this policy
is described in more detail in the College
Catalog). In the event of an
authorized absence, students are expected to notify me prior to the absence, if
at all possible. Absences, whether authorized or unauthorized, in excess of 20% will result in a grade of “F”.
2) Make-up Policy: Make-up
exams will be scheduled only in the event of an authorized absence, and
only if I am notified PRIOR to the examination. The format of make-up exams will be at my
discretion, and may consist principally of short-answer and essay questions
rather than objective questions. The
student will be notified of the format of the make-up exam in advance, and the
exam will be administered at a mutually agreeable time and location. Make-up
quizzes will be given only if the absence is authorized, and only if I am
notified PRIOR to the quiz.
3)
It will be necessary for you to READ
the text chapters that complement the lectures. It will be helpful for you to read the assigned chapter prior to
coming to lecture. Reading ahead of the
lecture sessions will help you to understand the material better as it is
presented
4)
If you are having trouble with the course material, see me promptly. Please do not wait until the last weeks of
class! I want you to understand
human anatomy and physiology and succeed in this course, but you must make the
effort of coming to class, reading the text, and asking lots of questions.
1)
There will be 4 exams held during the lecture periods indicated in the
schedule. These exams will be worth 100 points each and will consist of
multiple choice, matching and/or short answer questions. The hour exams will include material since
the previous exam. Errors in grading
must be brought to the attention of the instructor within one week (7 days) of
receiving your grade or the grade will not be changed.
Hour Exams (4)
= 400 points
2)
Throughout the semester I will give 6 short quizzes. These will be announced in class during the
previous lecture period. It is
the student's responsibility to be aware of the timing of these quizzes...they may be scheduled at irregular
intervals. Each quiz will be given
during the first 5 minutes of class and each will be worth 10 points. No extra time will be given for latecomers. These quizzes will follow the objective
format described above. The lowest
score of the 6 quizzes will be dropped.
Quizzes (5 of 6) = 50 points
3) Twice during the semester, you will be given take-home
assignments. These assignments
are designed to develop your reference and resource usage in
human anatomy and physiology. Each
assignment will be worth 25 points and will be due on the date specified. Late assignments will not be accepted.
Resource Usage Assignments (2) = 50 pts.
4) On some lecture days (those without a quiz or an
exam), we will take a "time-out" about halfway through lecture. In groups of 2 or 3, you will be asked to
discuss a question relevant to the current lecture topic. Then, each individual will submit their individual
answer to the question. These answers will be collected each day. I will select about 15 names at
random each day and their answers will be graded. These individuals will receive up to 10
points for their answer. You will not
know when your answer was graded until the end of the semester, when the grade
will be posted.
Group discussions (only 5 of
about 8 graded) = 50 points
5)
A final, comprehensive exam will be given during Final Exam week. The format of this exam will be the same as
the hourly exams. The purpose of this
comprehensive exam will be to test your basic understanding of the course as a
whole, therefore the questions will tend to emphasize major concepts.
Final Exam = 150 points
6) This course is taught as an “interactive lecture”, where interjection and discussion are encouraged. As a consequence, class participation is expected and will be graded. Participation is also expected during “visible quizzes”. During most lectures, the class will be presented with a multiple choice or true/false question. In groups of two, you will answer the question, and share your answer with the class. Those who are not actively participating in lecture will have points deducted.
Participation
= 50 pts.
7) Course Grade = [4 hour exams + 5 quizzes + 5 discussion
questions + participation + final]
x 100
750 total points
8) Scale: A = 90-100%, B = 80-89%,
C = 70-79%, D = 60-69%, F = < 59%

** Last date for acceptance of bonus materials this semester is Fri., April 16, 2004 **
1. Print off all lecture outlines AND take meticulous notes the entire semester. A completed set of lecture outlines (with your own notes) is worth up to 20 points, depending upon the quality of your notes.
Note: Incomplete notes will not
receive any extra credit on this opportunity
2. Read an article (journal, magazine, newspaper) with a strong anatomical or physiological slant. Turn in a photocopy of the article along with a short (<1 page) summary of the important points. This should be an article written at a level that you can understand, not necessarily one from a scientific journal! (2-6 points each, depending on length & substance of article).
Note: Articles from the World Wide Web will not be accepted without prior approval from instructor
** Limit 3 per student.
3. Do a short report (1-2 pages) on an applied topic in anatomy and physiology. Turn in the written report and present a very brief summary to the class. (up to 10 points depending upon quality of the presentation)
** Limit 1 per student. You MUST confirm the topic with Dr. Weinstein first and it must be presented at the end of the relevant section of the course.
4. Other opportunities may be mentioned in class!
Each
student is limited to a maximum of 30 bonus points (which represents 4%
of your final grade)
