Use terminology associated with anatomical structures. 2. Describe the structure and functions of the organ systems of the human body. 3. Explain the interrelatedness of organ systems. 4. Explain the plasticity of human structures. 5. Use a microscope to identify histological structures. 6. Locate anatomical structures through the process of dissection.
TEACHING METHODS: The lab will consist of a lecture followed by presentation of models, and/or dissections. Colored pencils are necessary as you will be required to draw, color, and label anatomical structures.
The lecture component of the class is online and will require you to read your text, and watch the powerpoints posted. You will be taking notes from these powerpoints, as audio has been added to the slides to enhance your understanding of the content. You will also be directed to helpful websites. The lecture exams and quizzes will be taken within the laboratory period.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES:
. There will be 5 lecture exams worth 100 points each for a total of 500 lecture points (these will be taken during the laboratory period). . There will be 2 lab practical exams worth 100 points each for a total of 200 Lab points. . There will be approximately 150 points possible for lecture homework.
2 . There will be approximately 150 points possible for lab activities/homework.
This gives a possibility of approximately 1000 total points.
Grading scale: 90% - 100% = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D 0% - 59% = F
MAKE-UP AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS POLICY: Missed Exams & Quizzes: A missed lecture exam and/or quiz may only be made up if arrangements are made with the instructor PRIOR to the absence. Approval to make up a missed exam and/or quiz will only be given if the instructor deems the conflict to be legitimate. The conflict must be valid and verifiable. The missed exam/quiz MUST be completed the day the student returns to class! The make-up exam/quiz may be an alternate exam.
Lab Exams cannot be made up, there are no exceptions given!
Late Homework: Late homework assignments will only be accepted one class day late and the assignment will be reduced by 50% (ie. you will receive only half credit for late homework). Please do NOT email me your homework. You must bring the homework with you to class, stapled and ready to turn in. I will only accept homework through an email for very extenuating circumstances.
In-class assignments are due during the class period unless otherwise specified. If you miss the class or leave early you may not make up the assignment.
There are no make-up laboratory exercises. If you are absent, even for a valid reason, you will receive a grade of “zero” for the exercises planned that day. It is the policy of the Science Division that a student cannot submit work for labs that the student did not attend. Even if you can answer some of the questions from the lab, you cannot receive credit unless you attended that lab.
The laboratory assignments are due before you leave the laboratory unless otherwise noted.
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Regular class attendance is not only important from the standpoint of learning, but also is a must in order to be successful in this course. If a class is missed, it is up to the student to obtain the notes and any assignments they may have missed. . Classes will be started promptly on time, therefore be courteous to fellow students by not being tardy. . Excessive absences will be reported to the college registrar’s office. . Students are held responsible for all materials covered during their absence and any changes made in the schedule.
3 CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: During class, all electronic devices must be turned off (unless special permission is granted for exceptional situations). No texting or phone calls permitted. Cell phones should be turned off and put away when you come into the classroom! Cell phones are not allowed out on your table/desk/or lap while class is in session. Violation of this policy will result in the student being asked to leave the class; any work you miss as a result may NOT be made up. When working together in the lab, it is expected that students will treat one another with respect and use common courtesy.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY : Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may: . Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test; . Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question; . Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class; . Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services. PLAGIARISM POLICY Deliberate plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the ideas, sentences, or words of another writer are your own; it includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own, copying the work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another as a guide to ideas and expression that are then presented as your own. At the instructor’s discretion, a student guilty of deliberate plagiarism may receive a zero for the assignment and an “F” in the course. Accidental plagiarism is the handling of quotations and paraphrases without a deliberate attempt to deceive; it includes failing to mark the beginning of paraphrases, failing to get away from the language of the original text when paraphrasing, failing to mark quotations with properly placed quotation marks, and failing to properly identify the source of a quotation or paraphrase. At the instructor’s discretion, a student whose paper contains accidental plagiarism may have the opportunity to rewrite the paper with a reduction in grade.
TOBACCO FREE COLLEGE: Tulsa Community College is a Tobacco Free college in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order 2012-01 and Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1-1523 which prohibits smoking or the use of any tobacco products in all public places, in any indoor workplace, and all vehicles owned by the State of Oklahoma and all of its agencies and instrumentalities.
