system assignments and r e l at edcoursework for each section of lecture material you will complete an online activity within masteringa&p called a system assignment that you will complete and submit for a grade the purpose of the system assignment to ensure that you are working diligently to keep up with the material and to give you practice both researching answers and answering questions specifically and succinctly these are the types of questions you will see on lecture exams and/or lab exams system assignments will generally be due in class the day after we finish the lecture material for that section these due dates will be announced in class and it is your responsibility to adhere to them some laboratory activities may have an associated handout that will be due at the end of the lab session you may not turn in the laboratory handouts if you have not attended the lab session academic integrity from the l at eassignments late assignments will not be accepted the system assignments will automatically close at a predetermined time and date they will remain available afterwards for you to practice on but they will not count for credit if you are absent on the day a paper assignment is due you must turn it in on your next appearance in lecture or lab unless you ve made an arrangement with me previous to your return college catalog students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity in this course violations of academic honesty will usually fall in one of two categories cheating or plagiarism cheating includes for example copying or buying the work of others hiring or persuading others to do work under a false name concealing notes or other helpful materials during a exam communicating with your classmates during an exam plagiarism is the use of another person s work or ideas as one s own without giving appropriate credit in short plagiarism is intellectual theft and is therefore taken seriously consequently using the ideas or language of others in an oral written technical or artistic work must be properly acknowledged and documented students are responsible for understanding what constitutes plagiarism in their classes and should note that these offenses are often very easy for the instructor to catch in this class the penalty for cheating or plagiarism will be a grade of zero 0 for the work in question and possibly a failing grade for the course please note that copying either text or drawings out of textbooks course materials and websites is also prohibited all work conducted in this course is to be yours and yours only safety notes this course includes some dissection of preserved materials dissections in anatomy and physiology i include the sheep brain and cow eye while we try to order materials in the safest preservatives available it is not advisable for pregnant women to be present in the lab during dissections if you are pregnant or become pregnant during the course please notify the instructor immediately at tendance your attendance is expected at all class meetings there are no make-up lecture exams your grade on your final exam will be substituted for one 1 missed lecture exam if a serious illness or family emergency prevents you from taking a lab exam please notify me on or before the day of the exam if possible and documented proof of the reason for the absence must be presented if requested when you return to class at that time the problem will be dealt with on an individual basis failure to comply with these procedures will result in a grade of 0 for the missed lab exam time to time throughout the semester i am asked by the registrar to provide a list of students who have stopped participating in the course nonparticipating students may be withdrawn from the course and may be billed for repayment of financial aid students with disabilities students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in the classroom are encouraged to contact a disability counselor as soon as possible students at the brockton campus with learning disabilities should contact andrea henry ext 1805 students with physical disabilities at the brockton campus should contact mary berg ext 1425 3[close]

course outcomes by the end of this course you should be able to 1 use the general steps of the scientific method to form hypotheses collect and evaluate data and draw conclusions in order to learn to distinguish between science and pseudoscience and to evaluate scientific information in both professional journals and the popular press use anatomical vocabulary correctly in order to be able to read and understand the text and laboratory instructions and communicate effectively in a professional setting observe and describe differences in basic tissue types in order to be able to predict tissue and organ function based on structure list the eleven organ systems the organs they include and their basic function in order to carry out a systematic as opposed to regional study of the human body apply the basic principles of biology to the functions of cells and the plasma membrane in the human body in order to be able to predict the nature of processes involving membrane transport receptors surface area and energy thus learning from understanding rather than memorization relate structure to the function of cells tissues and selected organs in order to demonstrate an understanding of the physiology of the integumentary skeletal muscular and nervous systems 7 describe the homeostatic condition and control systems for important variables in order to understand the nature of the normal or healthy condition describe the results of homeostatic imbalance of the same important variables in order to relate changes to the underlying causes of disease present and interpret data from charts and graphs in order to develop skills in using charts and graphs to convey information to be able to read and understand professional journals and to understand data used in the workplace and presented at meetings and conferences communicate accurately and clearly both in writing and orally in order to educate patients for students entering allied health fields and communicate with professional colleagues 8 2 3 9 4 5 10 work safely in the laboratory and follow simple laboratory protocols in order to work cooperatively to complete laboratory exercises and conduct experiments using the scientific method 11 use appropriate study skills to ensure success in the course 12 to strengthen core competencies including critical thinking technology skills oral communications quantitative skills reading and writing in order to increase success in this and other courses and in the workplace 6 6[close]
