Rules and Attendance

 

Your performance depends heavily on your class and lab attendance. Regular attendance will improve your chances for success.  You are responsible for all materials, activities, assignments or announcements covered in class, regardless of your reason for being absent. All materials covered in lectures, textbook, handouts and assigned readings are “fair game” for lecture exams.  The exact dates of exams can be changed to accommodate changes in the syllabus or wishes of the majority of students.   Any changes will be announced ahead of time.  Keep your syllabus updated as changes are made.  There is no excuse for forgetting an important date.

 

Lecture attendance is important but will not be regularly checked or graded but will be informally monitored.  If your percent grade is within 1 point of a letter grade, your final letter grade will be determined by your attendance and participation in lecture and lab.  Experience has proven over and over again that poor attendance results in poor grades!

 

 

Preparation and Study Time

 

The course schedule indicates reading assignments for each lecture and lab period.  You are

expected to read the assigned material before coming to that day’s class or lab. 

If you want to get a good grade in this course, expect to spend about two hours studying and

reading outside of class for every hour in class.  Since you are in class 5 hour per week (lecture and lab) then you should expect to spend at least 10 to 15 hours per week studying and preparing for this class.  The most common cause of poor grades is not being able, or willing, to schedule enough study time outside of class.

 

      

                 

Lecture (70% of course grade)

 

 

There will be 4 - 5, 100 point lecture/lab exams. These tests will include material over the topics from the lecture, textbook, handouts and assigned readings. The exam may include true and false, multiple-choice, essay, fill-in-the-blank and cross-matching types of questions. All exams must be taken.  A final comprehensive exam can be taken to substitute for a test that was missed or to improve one of the tests taken.  The lecture will count for 70% of your grade.

 

Note: the Scantron machine sometimes makes mistakes, particularly when you change an            answer and do not completely erase the other choice. In order to verify these mistakes you must also write the correct answer in the space provided on the question sheet. Challenges to the machine's accuracy will not be accepted if you did not do so. You have until the next class period, after the Scantron is returned, to challenge its accuracy. 

 

 

Extra Credit

 

 

Extra Credit: A total of 10 extra points are possible for the semester: A 5 – 10 page research paper may be written to obtain a maximum of 10 lecture test points. The maximum credit per page is 1 point. The paper must have at least 5 pages. The topic must be approved by the instructor. The requirements for paper are available on Bb.

 

Lab (30% of course grade)

 

 

Lab Tests: There will be 3 - 5 lab tests.  They will be announced and may include short answer, matching, fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice or essay.  Except for the final, the lowest grade will be dropped. If you miss an exam, for any reason, this will count as the one you drop. The lab exams count for 60% of your lab grade.  The lab exams can not be made up.

 

 

Lab Assignments: During the semester there will be approximately 3 - 10 lab assignments to complete.  These consist of a take home lab exercises using Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory simulations. The lab assignments count for 20% of your lab grade.  Lab Assignments are due one week after the assignment is given. 

 

           

Lab Book and Data Sheets: The lab book data sheets and questions should be filled during lab class time and if needed, completed at home.  The lab book will be collected at the end of the semester and will be graded. If it is not turned an Incomplete will be given for the course.  The lab book data sheets count for 20% of your lab grade.  A sample lab book is available in lab class and specific instructions for making your lab book are available in Course Documents, Lab Book, Bb.

 

 

Grading:

            

COURSE GRADE: your grade for this course will be based upon your combined performance in the lecture and lab. Your lecture exam average will constitute 70% of your overall course grade; your laboratory exam average will comprise the remaining 30%.Your approximate grade can be determined at any time using the chart below and the following formula: Current grade = (current             lecture  average x 0.70) + (current lab average x 0.30)

Course Policies

 

Attendance/Class Participation

Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students.  If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.

 

Withdrawal Policy

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he or she decide to withdraw from the class.  The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary.  If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date.  The student is also strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records.

 

Students who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall, 2002, may be charged a higher tuition rate, for that course.

 

State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire

undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities.  With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count towards this limit.  Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog.  The last day to withdraw from a class this semester is Monday, April 22.

 

 

 

Incompletes

An instructor may award a grade of “I” (Incomplete) if a student was unable to complete all of the objectives for the passing grade in a course.  An incomplete grade cannot be carried beyond the established date in the following semester. The completion date is determined by the instructor but may not be later than the final deadline for withdrawal in the subsequent semester.

 

Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty

A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution.  Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression.  Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations.  Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, and falsifying documents.    Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the college.  See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies at http://www.austincc.edu/current/needtoknow

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Opportunity for students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student. As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures.

Statement on Students with Disabilities

Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities.  Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD).   Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may be delayed.  

Students who have received approval for accommodations from OSD for this course must provide the instructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from OSD before accommodations will be provided.   Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from the student.  

Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.   

Additional information about the Office for Students with Disabilities is available athttp://www.austincc.edu/support/osd/

Official Biology Department Policy Concerning Student Useof Organisms in the Classroom and Laboratory:

 

 Most ACC biology classes, particularly those with laboratory components, use actual organisms during instruction in addition to images and models. ACC students generally are             preparing for real-world careers requiring workers with hands-on experience. These careers include health care, veterinary work, horticultural and agricultural work. Other students plan to transfer to four-year colleges and will be participating in biological research where hands-on experience is equally important.

 

   Organisms used at ACC are fundamental in biology instruction and they are utilized to teach specific             skills and knowledge. Their condition and usage varies from course to course. Students will be expected to actively participate in these activities. Students with particular concerns in this matter should consult with their instructor and/or departmental officials before enrolling in a laboratory course so that they can know what will be required of them.

 

Some organisms are observed alive while others are dead and preserved in various ways. Student manipulation of organisms ranges from culturing living organisms to dissecting preserved ones. Some             examples include, but are not limited to: bacterial culturing for microbiology courses; cat, pig or rat             dissection for anatomy courses; skeleton and pelt examination for field biology; and use of frogs in physiology experiments.

 

Specific safety information for each activity will be             discussed at the beginning of the activity.  For those activities that require specific safety training, a student who is late and misses the safety training will not be able to participate in the activity.  The comprehensive science safety policy can be found at: http://www.austincc.edu/sci-safe/

 

Use of ACC email

All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACCmail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you of any college related emergencies using this account.  Students should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account.  Likewise, students should use their ACC mail account when communicating with instructors and staff.  Instructions for activating an ACCmail account can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/accmail/index.php.

 

Testing Center Policy

Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination in a testing center.  Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam.  To request an exam, one must have:

• ACC Photo ID
• Course Abbreviation (e.g., ENGL)
• Course Number (e.g.,1301)
• Course Synonym (e.g., 10123)
• Course Section (e.g., 005)
• Instructor's Name

 

Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center.  Having your cell phone in the testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing privileges for the remainder of the semester.  ACC Testing Center policies can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/

 

Student and Instructional Services

ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety of opportunities and services.  Information on these services and support systems is available at:   http://www.austincc.edu/s4/

 

Links to many student services and other information can be found at: http://www.austincc.edu/current/

 

ACC Learning Labs provide free tutoring services to all ACC students currently enrolled in the course to be tutored.  The tutor schedule for each Learning Lab may be found at:  http://www.autincc.edu/tutor/students/tutoring.php

Some             examples include, but are not limited to: bacterial culturing for microbiology courses; cat, pig or rat             dissection for anatomy courses; skeleton and pelt examination for field biology; and use of frogs in physiology experiments.

 

Specific safety information for each activity will be             discussed at the beginning of the activity.  For those activities that require specific safety training, a student who is late and misses the safety training will not be able to participate in the activity.  The comprehensive science safety policy can be found at: http://www.austincc.edu/sci-safe/

 

Use of ACC email

All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACCmail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you of any college related emergencies using this account.  Students should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account.  Likewise, students should use their ACC mail account when communicating with instructors and staff.  Instructions for activating an ACCmail account can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/accmail/index.php.

 

Testing Center Policy

Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination in a testing center.  Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam.  To request an exam, one must have:

• ACC Photo ID
• Course Abbreviation (e.g., ENGL)
• Course Number (e.g.,1301)
• Course Synonym (e.g., 10123)
• Course Section (e.g., 005)
• Instructor's Name

 

Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center.  Having your cell phone in the testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing privileges for the remainder of the semester.  ACC Testing Center policies can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/

 

Student and Instructional Services

ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety of opportunities and services.  Information on these services and support systems is available at:   http://www.austincc.edu/s4/

Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives

 

Final Version May 6, 2004 page 1

BIOLOGY 2404 INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY COMMON COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. The common course objectives for BIOL 2404 were developed by the following committee:

Bernice Speer, Committee Chair Les Albin Meg Flemming Anne Keddy-Hector

Audrey L. Mackey Sarah Strong Steve Ziser

Input into the common course objectives was provided by: Rebecca Brock

Richard Espinoza Paige Fletcher Raja (?)

2. The objectives were written in consideration of these goals:

• to define a core body of knowledge for BIOL 2404 Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology that will be covered completely in all sections of the course

• to provide a description of course content for new faculty • to use only the core body of knowledge for constructing an assessment final, if the

department decides to use one for BIOL 2404

• to emphasize that the course content for BIOL 2404 is approximately 60-70% anatomy and 30-40% physiology

• to allow instructors some flexibility in the addition of material beyond the core objectives.

• to meet the needs of the ACC Allied Health Sciences programs that require BIOL 2404

• to meet the needs of ACC students taking BIOL 2404 • to accommodate differences in student learning styles

Final Version May 6, 2004 page 2

3. The common course objectives are divided by topic.

a. This is done for the convenience of most instructors but does not mean that the topics need to be covered in this order. The order of the topics is not linked to any particular textbook.

b. Within each major topic the objectives are subdivided into “lecture topics” and “lab topics”. You will find that some subjects are listed in both sections, and some in only one. In some cases you may decide to move a topic from lecture to lab, to move it from lab to lecture, or to cover it in both. If a topic is listed in both sections you are not required to cover it in both lecture and lab if in your judgement it is best done another way.

c.

Some of the ACC Health Science programs have requested more coverage of certain physiology topics. These topics will be marked with an *.

Within the “lecture topics” lists, some items require more thorough coverage, and others only a brief overview. These suggestions are made to help instructors manage the material so that everything can be covered in one semester. Please remember this is an introductory course. If students need more thorough coverage of these topics, they should take Human Anatomy and Human Physiology.

4. All campuses will adopt whole animal dissection in lab, specifically to illustrate the individual variations between organisms and to demonstrate certain concepts that cannot be adequately seen on models (such as mesenteries and fascia between adjacent muscles).

Dissection is a skill required in subsequent classes and programs. In order to adequately prepare our students, students will do the dissections. At their discretion, instructors may provide additional dissections as demonstrations. The official Biology Department policy concerning student use of organisms in the classroom and laboratory can be found at:

http://www.austincc.edu/biology/organismspolicy.html

The following is a list of structures that students should identify on a dissected animal. The items on this list also appear along with the related lab topics below and are included here for easy reference.

List of structures that students will locate through the dissection of a whole animal (cat, fetal pig, rat):
