Course I (BSC1085) introduces anatomy and physiology of thehuman body. This course includes cell structure and function and basic concepts ofA&P. The focus of this course (A&P I) is on the basic concepts, the cellular level, theintegument, as well as muscle physiology, neurophysiology and functional organizationof the brain.Remark: This course together with BSC 1086 provides the foundation for an understanding of thehuman body. The vast majority of students taking this course plan a career in healthcare. Toanyone planning to work in the health field this class will provide the background to a deeperunderstanding about yourself and your patients. A patient’s life or health may depend on whetheryou know what you are doing. Additionally, this class will provide the necessary background forother professional courses that rely on anatomy and physiology. Therefore, learn as much as youcan in this class. You will benefit from it. Also, I will maintain a high standard for this class,considering the above. Do not expect to pass unless you show proficiency.Course Outcomes: Students will be able to1. recognize and understand anatomical and physiological terminology2. apply the concept of homeostasis to human physiological activity.3. Know major organic and inorganic chemicals as they relate to the human body.4. describe cellular structure and cellular activity.5. discuss anatomical and physiological features of the integumentary, skeletal,muscular, nervous and sensory systems.6. evaluate select pathological conditions as they relate to normal functioning of theabove-named systems.Syllabus DL-BSC 1085 Dr. Germroth/ Summer Term 2012 Page 3 of 7

7. prepare for the subsequent course (BSC 1086) by paying particular emphasis togeneral features of biochemical and cellular physiology, as well as neuronalintegration of various body processes.Pre- and Co-Requirements for this course:College level reading and writing! Current enrollment in or completion of BSC 1085L(the laboratory part of this course). Note that lab and lecture complement each other.Computer literacy, which means you must be comfortableworking on the internet; watching streaming downloads,using e-mail and working in a learning management systemlike Blackboard.Required materials:1.

You will use Mastering A&P to complete GetReady for A&P, complete the IP practice assignments and to do all the chapter practice assignments. Furthermore, Mastering A&P links to a work area that offers plenty of study material and help. OPTIONS: see below Buy the Marieb package at HCC and you have: FREE access to all required online material The package = Textbook, and access code for Mastering A&P. If you own another recent edition of either SALADIN's or MARTINI's A&P textbooks you may just purchase access to Mastering A&P without the e-­‐textbook; If you own no textbook but prefer the cheaper online textbook (ebook) you need to Purchase access to Mastering A&P with the e-­textbook option Syllabus DL-BSC 1085 Dr. Germroth/ Summer Term 2012 Page 4 of 7

Expected work-sequence for each chapter:Note: not all five activities are expected in each chapter.1. Watch the narrated Power Point lectures or slides that are posted in yourweekly folders at MyHCC.2. Then study every chapter topic in the textbook in the proper manner.Focus only on topic areas covered in the lecture or slide show. Refer to“Get Ready for A&P- How to read a textbook” if you are not clear what “tostudy” means.3. For muscle physiology and neurophysiology also use InteractivePhysiology and work on all interactive exercises that are offered formuscle physiology and neurophysiology. (Access via work area tab inMastering A&P)4. Read extra materials in the respective folder and watch suggested extravideos.5. For credit complete:a. All assigned tests on time (in MyHCC)b. All chapter practice assignments (in Mastering A&P)c. The IP practice assignments (in Mastering A&P)d. The “Get-Ready for A&P” post tests (in Mastering A&P)e. Commentary on podcasts in the discussion area (in MyHCC). Payattention to quality of content and grammar since this is also yourGordon-Rule assignment.Gordon Rule Assignment: Your special writing requirement will be fulfilled bycontributing thoughtful comments to the podcasts. Since this counts as your Gordon-Rule requirement I will check spelling and grammar as well as thoughtfulness and logicof content. Deadline is 7-16-2012.Your written work will be evaluated by content and bywriting skills (grammatical correctness, correct use of terms, logical sentenceconstruction, proper use of paragraphs etc.) The evaluation for these assignments is,due to the very nature of assessing use of language, to some degree subjective. You willreceive a pass or fail grade. Note: This class (BSC1085) cannot be passed withoutsubmitting a satisfactory Gordon Rule assignment. The comments must besubmitted before the deadline or the requirement is counted as “failed”. Any workthat is not the genuine product of the student submitting it (for example a plagiarizedcomment) will receive a failing grade and lead to further disciplinary action.Gordon-­‐Rule Paper evaluation rubric: Passed Mostly standard grammar and spelling. Overall well organized with minor flaws. Ideas and opinions are communicated in a comprehensible way and the arguments can be logically followed. Failed Mostly poor grammar and frequent misspellings Confusing organization, failure to separate arguments or to have no arguments. Argumentation and organization focus or irrelevant issues or are hard to discern. Syllabus DL-BSC 1085 Dr. Germroth/ Summer Term 2012 Page 5 of 7

Commentary is at least beyond the obvious and demonstrates an understanding of topic’s implications. Commentary banal, generic or demonstrates failure to grasp topic’s implications. Grade Determination:The comprehensive final exam must be taken on the Dale Mabry campus inperson.

Online tests (11 total).2. Chapter practice (11 total)3. Podcast discussions and responses (3 total).4. Interactive Physiology assignments (2 total)5. Get Ready for A&P post tests (6 total)6. A comprehensive final exam, which consists of 100 multiple-choicequestions.Grading: The grade will be calculated from:• Multiple choice tests = 50%• Chapter practice assignments = 15%• IP assignments = 05%• Get Ready for A&P post tests = 05 %• the final exam = 25%Grade determination will be out of 100 percent!(Podcast responses provide a 5% bonus! )A=90-100%; B=80-89%; C=79-65%; D=60-65%; F= less than 60%.Your score and calculated grade will be updated weekly and shownin the Mastering A&P grades section.
