LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this course sequence is to provide the biology major with the  level of detail in anatomy and physiology needed to enable a student to undertake further study in other majors' courses, nursing, pre‑med, physical education, physical therapy, etc.

Course activities and knowledge objectives address increasing each student's competency in reading, writing, critical thinking and analysis.  Experiential learning activities are utilized as a means of instruction in laboratory components of courses and through research, class projects, and skill building exercises with problem analysis.

The SCANS skill building philosophy of establishing a foundation of basic skills, thinking skills, and personal qualities are addressed, as reported above, in each course.  The mastery of five identified competencies; resource identification, interpersonal skills, information acquisition and use, systems understanding and use, and knowledge of current technology is necessary to complete course requirements.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

Lecture exams will be scheduled covering the text and lecture topics.

 
The instructor may choose to give an optional comprehensive final to take the place of the lowest lecture grade. 

The laboratory grade will be integrated with the lecture grade to produce the final overall course grade.

METHOD OF PRESENTATION:

Lectures will be combined with group discussions, and alternative learning methods (slides, transparencies, films, etc.) will be used to augment lecture topics.

METHOD OF EVALUATION:

Overall course grade:  Lecture 60%, lab 40%

Lecture:            4 - 5 major exams, 20 to 25% of lecture grade each

                        quizzes as determined by the instructor ~ up to 20%

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Lecture and lab attendance is mandatory for all students.  Individual conflicts with this policy are to be discussed with the instructor.  The instructor has the option of giving quizzes (announced or unannounced) in the lecture section as deemed necessary to ensure attendance and preparation of the students.  If quizzes are given, they may count up to 20% of the lecture grade, with exam grades correspondingly reduced in value.

IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES:

First see or call your instructor. If you are unable to resolve the prob­lem, contact the divisional secretary at your campus. The Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences office phone numbers are 972-548‑6880 at Central Campus, 972-881‑5880 at Spring Creek Campus, and 972-377­­-1580 at Preston Ridge Campus. The Dean of the division is Dr. Cameron Neal.  His office is located in F135 at the Spring Creek Campus.

We will all be happy to assist you.

Course Repeatabiliy:

Any course in which a grade (including W) has been received can be repeated only ONE time to replace the grade.
