Course description:
BIOL 2402 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY II: A sequel to Anatomy & Physiology I (BIOL 2401). Study of the structure and function of the human body with an emphasis on physiology. Designed for students in the ACC health science programs. Insurance:
.
Course Objective:
To acquire a basic understanding of the chemical, cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the function of living organisms and to be able to use this information to solve physiological problems.
Grading: Lecture Grade: Average of Four Tests: 75 % of course grade
25% of course gradeLab grade:
The following scale will be strictly followed to determine your letter grade (I do not curve although each lecture exam has 105 points)
I do not give grades of Incomplete.
Attendance:
I feel that it is impossible to do well (meaning D or better!!) if you do not come to class regularly. Attendance will be taken. You are required to take all tests at the scheduled time (The Jed Rule). If you miss a test, you will receive a 0 for that test. The only exceptions are if there is a death in your family of if you are seriously ill and cannot physically come to class. In this latter instance, you must present a note from your doctor stating that you were physically unable to come to class. A cold or the flu is not an acceptable illness. In any case, if you are not able to come to an exam, you must inform me of that fact before the time of the exam. A phone call or an email either to me or to the departmental office is sufficient. If a make-up exam is in order, you must make plans with me for the taking of the exam within 24 hours after the regularly scheduled exam (The Martha Rule). Failure to either inform me or to make plans for the make-up will result in a 0 for that exam. A student will not be allowed to make up more than one exam, no matter what the reason (Paige Rule). You have one week to submit a test for review if you feel that it was misgraded (Sarah Rule). Lab attendance is mandatory and there are no make-up labs. If you miss a lab, you will receive a 0 for all assignments associated with that lab. Finally, there may be handouts or assignments given out (or graded assignments returned) during classes. If you miss a class, you are responsible for obtaining these items and assignments on your own. It is your responsibility to get any material or information from other students that you did not receive due to being absent. You are responsible for all assignments and information whether you are present or not. I generally do not keep extra copies of handouts.
