I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

BSC 2085 is a course based upon “Human Anatomy & Physiology ” by Frederic H. Martíni textbook and “HUMAN ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY I. In this course, the student will learn to apply the concepts covered in BSC2085 as it pertains to structure and function of the human body from an experiential approach. The BSC 2085 consists of two 1 hour and 40 minutes weekly class sessions. The first 15 minutes of the class are dedicated to the administration of quizzes, review of previous quizzes, and to answer any of your questions should one arise. During the first 30 min. interval of class, principles of anatomy and physiology that accompany will be explained. The course will lean heavily on these references and on the Power Point Lectures/Outlines the instructor will send you via E-mail, prior to each session. These Power Point lectures/outlines are focused on the course competencies for each topic/chapter and are therefore, a good guide to study the topics and to prepare for your evaluations. Reading/reviewing the textbook is also strongly advised.

Upon successful completion of this course, the students should have a comprehensive understanding of the following topics:

1. Students will learn what anatomy deals with and its different divisions, as well as new vocabulary related with this science. 2. Students will be able to describe anatomical position and identify anatomical landmarks of the body, as well as the anatomical planes. 3. Recognition of the regions in which the abdomen is divided for anatomical study and organs related to those regions. 4. Get a general idea about the different systems of the human body and where those organs are located. 5. Learn the division of the skeleton in axial and appendicular, and the bones that form each one, as well as the main bone markings. 6. Identification of isolated bones and bones attached to the skeleton. 7. Study the structure of long, flat, and some irregular bones in a summarized way. 8. Identification of muscles in groups and independently, as well as location and the most general function. 9. The students will review the embryonic development of the nervous system and how it relates to the structures in the adult person. 10. Identification of structures in the brain and the spinal cord, as well as the main functions. 11. At the end of the course, the students will have a more complete and appropriate understanding about how to correlate the structures on models with the real human body.

III. CLASS REQUIREMENTS

Texbook Requirements - Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, 10th edition. ISBN: 9780134712307

Stephanie Barrientos / BSC 2085 Anatomy & Physiology I / Dept. Biology, Health, and Wellness Room 3285 / 305-237-2445 Attendance & Participation

Class Attendance Policy for the School of Science, Technology & Engineering Management While attendance is NOT mandatory, it will be monitored regularly at the any points during each class period. Miami-Dade College considers attendance a vital part of the learning process and, as a result, there will be a penalty for missed class. Due to the disruption caused by late arrivals, tardiness will likewise incur a penalty. A late arrival is defined as entering class more than 15 minutes after the official start time of the period (and three late arrivals equals one absence). As a result, there will be a Grade Reduction Policy for absences and late arrivals.

Number of Class Absences Effect on Final Grade Points added/subtracted to/from Grade

0 3% Reward 3 (i.e.: 87/B + 3= 90/A)

2 1 2% Reward

2 1% Reward 1

3-4 No penalty/ No reward 0 (no effect on grade)

Automatic whole letter grade 5 or more A  B reduction

Absences will be excused only with a signed note from a physician certifying illness on the missed date. Emergencies must be documented in writing and must consist of true major force reasons to miss class, such as sudden illness requiring a doctor’s emergency visit or hospitalization, death in the family, or college-excused events (which must be approved ahead of time). Students who are consistently absent and have not made attempts to communicate with the professor will be purged from the class roll in accordance to the academic and administrative calendar.

As per the Biology Health and Wellness Department policy, students are entitled to ONE OVERRIDE PER STUDENT PER CLASS PER SEMESTER, when you have been officially dropped from the class.

Stephanie Barrientos / BSC 2085 Anatomy & Physiology I / Dept. Biology, Health, and Wellness Room 3285 / 305-237-2445 IV. GRADING POLICY

Quizzes: will be given at random at any point during the lecture. Therefore, you must read, study and understand the class before coming to class. The purpose of the quizzes is to guarantee that you are prepared for the class and encourages attendance. If you miss the quiz, you will NOT be able to take it or make it up. The quizzes do not count against you, but can only help give you extra points to your final grade,

Exams: There will be three (3) exams throughout the course of the semester. The final grade will be an average of these 3 exams. Extra-credit points from the random quizzes will be applied to the OVERALL grade.

Grading Criteria: A: 90 to 100, B: 80 to 89, C: 70 to 79, D: 60 to 69, F: 59 or under.

Incomplete Grades: Incomplete (i) grades will be given in consultation with the student and upon agreement of the instructor only when extenuating circumstances have prevented the student from completing the course. In order to be considered for an “I”, a student must have successfully completed a minimum of one-half the work in the course with a minimum grade of C or better. Note: The Incomplete (I) grades must be completed in a time agreed upon between the instructor and the student. If not completed by the agreed upon time, the incomplete (I) grade becomes an F. If the student is facing problems that eventually will force him/her to have an incomplete (I) grade, the student MUST talk with the instructor in order to discuss this possibility. The instructor will analyze the situation and will make the final decision. This agreement will be made between both the student and the instructor by signing an official document.

Withdrawals: The instructor is not required to withdraw/drop students from the course. It is the student’s responsibility to determine his/her status in the course at all times.

Academic Honesty Cheating/Plagiarism or any other form of academic dishonesty will NOT be tolerated and will be dealt with to the fullest extent, according to the college regulations. You can access all the information and regulations concerning student’s rights and responsibilities going through the following link: http://www.mdc.edu/policy/student_rights_and_responsibilities.pd

Student Conduct Chewing gum, beverages and food are not allowed in the classroom. CELL PHONES MUST NOT BE ACTIVE DURING CLASS TIME; YOU MUST NOT MAKE/RECEIVE PHONE CALLS NOR SEND/RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES DURING CLASS TIME. NOTE THAT, VIOLATION OF THIS BASIC RULE WILL MOTIVATE THE STUDENT’S DISMISSAL FROM THE CLASS.

You must arrive on time for scheduled exams and quizzes. Arriving after a quiz or exam has already started will, at the instructor’s discretion, prevent a student from taking that evaluation. Quizzes and Practicum exams are timed evaluations. Quizzes can be given at the start or at the end of the session. During examinations (Quizzes, Practicum exams), cell phones and other display or communication devices MUST BE TURNED OFF AND STORED OUT OF THE REACH OF THE EXAMINING STUDENT/OWNER.

Missed Exams MAKE-UP exams will be ONLY BE PERMITTED WITH A DOCUMENTED/EXCUSED ABSENCE. If the student misses an exam due to a medical or court reason, he/she must provide legal proof of the event that prevented him/her from taking the exam. It is not possible to have an incomplete if the student is not passing the class. Social and family gatherings/events are not valid reasons to miss class sessions or examinations, absences due to these causes are considered unexcused absences. Check your course schedule and do not plan/schedule these events in conflict with your scheduled evaluations. YOU WON’T BE GRANTED A MAKE-UP/SUBSTITUTE EXAMINATION.

Drop Policy It is of the ABSOLUTE RESPONSIBILITY of the student to drop the course. Students who do not attend class on a regular basis will be purged from the class roll. Last day to withdraw from the course with a grade of W is June 27th, 2017. A student dropped after this date will be graded F. Students who remain in the final grade roll, and have not attended or taken their scheduled examinations will receive a grade of F. Please note: Biology Department Regulation regarding students that are dropped from the class roster: The Biology Department will only allow ONE override PER student, per class per semester. If you have been dropped for non-payment and overridden into the class once, you will NOT be given permission to be overridden a second time.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Statement: Students who have a disability that might affect their performance in the class are encouraged to contact Access Services, in confidence, as soon as possible.
