Course Objectives

This course is intended to provide an overview of human anatomy and physiology. The lecture will focus on vocabulary and the principles of physiology and the laboratory will focus on anatomy.

See Attachment (AP 2 Syllabus Cover)


Course Expectations

There will be a class participation/quiz grade, four tests and a final exam. Class participation exercises and quizzes will occur without prior announcement and the average will count as a test grade. The final exam is comprehensive. The tests and the final will cover material from lecture and the text. Bring no electronic devices to the tests or the final exam. All tests and the final must be attempted; a zero on a test or the final will result in a grade of "F" for the course.

See Attachment (AP 2 Syllabus Cover)


Grading Standards

Grading:

 Laboratory: The laboratory component of the course will be 25% of the total grade. The relative values of work done in the lab (i.e. quizzes/write ups/exams) will be determined by the lab instructor.

Submission Format PolicyNote: You may not submit a paper for a grade in this class that already has been (or will be) submitted for a grade in another course, unless you obtain the explicit written permission of me and the other instructor involved in advance.

Late Paper Policy

Arrangements for make-up tests must be made PRIOR to the test date. If a student is absent for a test without prior arrangement no make-up test will be offered. Any exception will be at the discretion of the instructor. See excused absences (below). 

See Attachment (AP 2 Syllabus Cover)


Plagiarism Policy Plagiarism is the use of someone else's thoughts, words, ideas, or lines of argument in your own work without appropriate documentation (a parenthetical citation at the end and a listing in "Works Cited")-whether you use that material in a quote, paraphrase, or summary. It is a theft of intellectual property and will not be tolerated, whether intentional or not.

Student Honor Creed

As an MSU Student, I pledge not to lie, cheat, steal, or help anyone else do so."

As students at MSU, we recognize that any great society must be composed of empowered, responsible citizens. We also recognize universities play an important role in helping mold these responsible citizens. We believe students themselves play an important part in developing responsible citizenship by maintaining a community where integrity and honorable character are the norm, not the exception. Thus, We, the Students of Midwestern State University, resolve to uphold the honor of the University by affirming our commitment to complete academic honesty. We resolve not only to be honest but also to hold our peers accountable for complete honesty in all university matters. We consider it dishonest to ask for, give, or receive help in examinations or quizzes, to use any unauthorized material in examinations, or to present, as one's own, work or ideas which are not entirely one's own. We recognize that any instructor has the right to expect that all student work is honest, original work. We accept and acknowledge that responsibility for lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty fundamentally rests within each individual student. We expect of ourselves academic integrity, personal professionalism, and ethical character. We appreciate steps taken by University officials to protect the honor of the University against any who would disgrace the MSU student body by violating the spirit of this creed. Written and adopted by the 2002-2003 MSU Student Senate.

Students with Disabilities The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Disability Support Services in Room 168 of the Clark Student Center, 397-4140.

Safe Zones Statement The professor considers this classroom to be a place where you will be treated with respect as a human being - regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, political beliefs, age, or ability. Additionally, diversity of thought is appreciated and encouraged, provided you can agree to disagree. It is the professor's expectation that ALL students consider the classroom a safe environment.

Contacting your Instructor All instructors in the Department have voicemail in their offices and MWSU e-mail addresses. Make sure you add your instructor's phone number and e-mail address to both email and cell phone lists of contacts.

Attendance Requirements

Satisfactory attendance is required. Students with excessive unexcused absences (more than 3) may be dropped from the course. See Student Conduct (below).

Excused absences: Absences will be excused for the following reasons: presenting at/attending a scientific meeting, a university sanctioned extracurricular event, attendance at the funeral of a close family member (parent, sibling, grandparent or child). Any other excused absences will be at the discretion of the instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain notes or other information covered in class during an absence.

Laboratory attendance and participation is required. Failure to participate constitutes unsatisfactory attendance. Unexcused absence for the lab midterm, unexcused absence for the lab final or more than two unexcused laboratory absences will automatically result in a grade of “F” for the course.

See Attachment (AP 2 Syllabus Cover)


Other Policies

Student Conduct: Students should refer to the current MSU handbook and activities calendar for university policy on academic dishonesty, class attendance, student rights and activities. Special attention should be given to pages 65-75. These conduct standards apply to both lecture and lab.

Students with disabilities: It is the responsibility of the student to first contact Disability Support Services and then the instructor to determine what accommodations might be made for a disability. It will be the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to acquire notes. Any requests for accommodations must be made 2 weeks prior to the first exam.

Disclaimer: No medical advice will be given. No student will be accepted as a patient.
