SYLLABUS FOR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
BIO 1361 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Brown Mackie College
Dr. Dave Menke, Instructor
February Session 2010: Feb 1 – Feb 25
Mondays, Tuesdays, & Thursdays 9 AM to 12:50 PM
Building C, Room 322
Course Syllabus
Title: Anatomy and Physiology
Textbook: Human Body, in Health and Disease, by Thibodeau and Patton
Supplies and Equipment That Are Helpful
1. Note pad & scratch paper to take notes and scribble or laptop
2. Scientific calculator
3. Computer (or access to a computer)
4. Textbook
All of the above are sold somewhere.
Website for this course: http://drdhmenkebmc2.blogspot.com/
Each Student must learn how to log on to the Course Website
Purpose: To Understand the basics of human anatomy and the function thereof
Grading:
Students will be graded on a percentage scale from points earned. There are 1000 points available. Students may earn points from tests, homework, in-class lab exercises, “mind challenge” games, and weekly essays. The total points that a student earns, divided by the total number of required points available, will yield a percentage, and the grades will be as such: 90% A; 80% B; 70% C; 60% D.
Tests There will be three (3) tests and one (1) final exam this session. Each test will be on the following Thursdays: February 4, February 11, and February 18. Each test is approximately one hour (1 h) long and will have 25 questions, taken directly from the homework and lecture material that we are studying that week. Each test is worth 100 points. All test questions will short answer questions and/or multiple choice questions. 3 x 100 = 300 points.
Final Exam There will be one (1) comprehensive Final Exam on Thursday, February 25. The Final Exam is about two hours (2 h) long and worth 500 points. All final exam questions will be short answer questions and/or multiple choice questions.
1 x 500 = 500 points.
Homework: There are four (4) homework sets. All homework sets are listed in the “Weekly Work” file. Each Homework Set has a series of problems or questions at the end of the chapters in the book. Each Homework Set is worth twenty (20) points. Research has shown if you do the homework, then you do well on the tests. If you don’t do the homework, most of the time you fail the tests. To get credit for homework, it is due each Thursday before the test; a hard copy - either hand written or printed – is fine. For the Final Exam, it is due on that Thursday, February 25. Total credit: 4 x 20 = 80 points.
In-Class Lab Exercises – There will be five (5) “In Class Lab Exercises” related to the subject at hand. Each is worth up to 10 points. The dates are listed in “Weekly Work.” Total credit: 5 x 10 = 50 points.
Challenging Mind Games Following each test (but not after the Final Exam), a challenging “mind game” will be offered, worth up to 10 points. Examples include solving class-related crossword puzzles. Total credit: 3 x 10 = 30 points.
Weekly Essays* Once a week a topic related to the course will be required. The topic is listed in the “Weekly Work.” It will also be announced in class. To earn up to 10 points, you must write an ORIGINAL essay about the topic. Length? About 300 words is fine. However, plagiarism is not acceptable -- you must not cut and paste from
electronic media sources or from an Encyclopedia on CD. Nor can you copy another student’s description. A hard copy of the essay is due each Thursday. You may also turn in your essay via email – to dmenke@brownmackie.edu – and then it is due at midnight on Friday. Total credit: 4 x 10 = 40 points.
If you email it, you MUST place in the Subject Heading “SA1” for the first week (it stands for “essay number 1”), SA2 for the 2nd week, etc. If the subject heading is wrong, or mislabeled, or missing, your essay may be deleted as if you had never done it at all.
*Credit for essays will be a function of content only. This is not a writing class, literature class, or spelling class. You may think, “I can’t write.” So what? It’s okay. Can’t spell? As long as I can understand it, your essay will be acceptable.
