Course Description: The study of pathophysiological processes
underlying human illness. Basic principles and processes covered will include
such topics as cellular communication, genetic diseases, immune response,
mechanism of infection, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and tumor biology.
A focus on specific body systems and commone disorders will emphasize the
etiology, clinical manifestation of symptoms, the body's response to altered
health states and injury, and the management of diseases across the life
span including diagnostic procedures, preventative measures, and current
therapeutic regimes.
Lab experience provides demonstration of pathological findings of disease.
Lab required.

The college expects students to conduct themselves in class and lab in such a way as to not interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Students are to speak and act in a respectful manner toward their fellow students and the professor. Those who participate in inappropriate behavior such as, excessive talking, electronic device use, verbal altercations, or blatantly disregarding instructor’s directions will be asked to leave the class and the dean of students will be contacted. Continuance of such behavior will result in permanent removal. If you need to leave the class, do so quietly and use the appropriate exit door.
As a courtesy, please inform your instructor if you need to leave early. Please turn off any electronic device and keep them out of sight. Unapproved use of electronic devices will result in confiscation of that device for the duration of the class. The use of electronic devices for medical purposes must be addressed with the instructor prior to the start of class or lab.
Lab safety regulations will be followed at all times when in the laboratory.
You may repeat
this course only once after receiving a grade, including W.
Senate Bill 1231 states that a new first time student may not withdraw from
more than six courses from any Texas public institution of
higher education. Please contact the Academic Advising Office before you
withdraw from any course.
Academic Ethics:
The College may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree and/or the submission as one’s own work material that is not one’s own. Scholastic dishonesty may involve, but is not limited to, one or more of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion, use of annotated texts or teacher’s editions and/or falsifying academic records.
Plagiarism is the use of an author’s words or ideas as if they were ones’ own without giving credit to the source, including, but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct quotation.
Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination, illicitly obtaining examination questions in advance, copying computer or Internet files, using someone else’s work for assignments as if it were one’s own or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of a course.
Collusion is intentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to providing a paper or project to another student, providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate during an examination; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate to copy answers.
Contact the Dean of Students for the student disciplinary process and procedures or refer to the Collin County Community College Student Handbook as well as the Surgical Technology Program Student Handbook for specific policies.
ADA Statement: It is the policy of Collin County Community College to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals who are students with disabilities. This College will adhere to all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable accommodations as required affording equal educational opportunity. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the ACCESS Office (SCC-G200 or 972.881.5898; V/TTD: 972.881.5950) in a timely manner to arrange for appropriate accommodations.

Preparation outside of class:
A minimum of three (3) hours of preparation outside of class is typically expected for every hour of lecture or lab each week. Any assignments, reading, review, or studying is in addition to this preparation time. Each student is expected to have read the assigned text material prior to class for that day. Health Science course usually require more study time than the minimum previously discussed.
Specific Course Requirements:
Lecture
a) Four lecture quizzes worth 25 points each will be given during the semester. These required lecture quizzes will have a total point value of 100 points and will be counted as 30% of the lecture grade. No makeup lecture quizzes will be available.
b) Two lecture exams worth 100 points each will be counted each as 30% of the lecture grade for a total of 60% of the lecture grade. A missed lecture exam will count as zero unless the makeup exam is taken in its place. A second missed lecture exam will count as zero.
c) An optional comprehensive makeup exam will be given for a missed lecture exam or the makeup exam may be taken to replace a low lecture exam score. The makeup will only be counted if a grade is higher than the original lecture exam score. The make up exam will not count twice. The comprehensive makeup exam will be given in the CPC testing center during finals week. Students must sign up with the instructor for this exam if they plan to take it. A current Collin ID will be required for any test administered by the testing center. A second missed lecture exam will result in a grade of zero (0).
d) Participation and discussion will involve completion of in class assignments, and assessments of knowledge to evaluate preparation for class and application of concepts. Verbal, written, or additional quiz style methods may be used.
Lab
a) Quizzes will be given most every week during the semester to total to a minimum of 12 quizzes. Each quiz will count 10 points and the lowest two quiz grades will be dropped. The best 10 quiz grades will add and make up 25% of the lab grade.
b) Lab practicum exam will be given at the end of the semester. This exam is comprehensive and will count as 40% of the overall lab portion of the course grade. Students are expected to take the practical, as a missed practical will be counted as a zero. Additional information regarding the lab practical format will be given prior to the exam.
c) Lab reports will be turned in during the semester on specific dates. See the instructor website for more information about these lab reports, their format, their point value, and their due dates. On the instructor’s website homepage, http://iws.collin.edu/mweis click on the Surgical Tech photo link, go to pathophysiology section, click and find the lab section to click on lab reports. The total maximum value for all lab reports will be 100 points and will make up 35% of the overall lab grade.
The lab reports comprise the following sections:
* Late lab reports will be docked 3 points for every 12 hours late.
^ Late Pathophysiology papers will be docked 10 points for every 12 hours late.
Critical Thinking Skills
To be successful in the allied health sciences as well as on any exam, quiz, practical, or report, knowledge is expected to be learned and applied but not memorized.
For full credit on a particular question or assignment, you must be able to completely answer the question or address the problem in order to leave the reader with a thorough understanding of the material and concepts. Proper use of English grammar and medical terminology is expected.
A grading rubric will be used to determine the credit given for a particular assessment question (quiz, exam, practical) or lab report.
