Semester Start and End Dates: 02/11/19 - 06/09/19

Course Description: Microscopic, macroscopic, and dynamic view of the human physiological processes. The lecture portion includes a thorough consideration of both “cell and systems” physiology. Laboratory work includes the use of techniques used in basic research, an introduction to the use of standard medical equipment, and the performance of medical laboratory tests. Non-invasive experiments are performed on students enrolled in the class. Course is recommended or required for students who are majoring in pre-health professions (for example: Kinesiology, Nutrition, Nursing, Medical Doctor, Veterinary Doctor, Radiology, Pharmacy, Optometry, Speech Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy) and students who just want to learn more about their body.

Required Lecture Materials: Scantrons 882-E, Text:  Human Anatomy and Physiology by Marieb 10^th edition

Required Lab Materials: Students are required to purchase PPE (personal protection equipment) and lab materials. • Lab coat/Lab apron/Long sleeve shirt • Safety goggles/Safety glasses • Nitrile gloves (no latex gloves) • Closed-toed shoes. REQUIRED MATERIALS POINTS= FOR LAB: Lab Protocols (found on Blackboard), Scantrons 882-E, pencil, eraser, pants, gloves (not latex), closed-toed shoes, goggles/safety glasses, dissection kit, hair-tie to pullback long hair, lab coat/lab apron/long-sleeve shirt.

PARTICIPATION: Students are required to attend and participate (i.e. attempting the activities and participating in group discussions). They will not be graded on “right and wrong” answers unless specifically announced. Proper interpersonal skills are also necessary for future professionals to learn. Therefore, if students are disrespectful or rude to their fellow classmates, instructors or staff, then they may lose a portion of their letter grade and may be reported to the proper campus personnel.

LECTURE EXAMS: Students MUST TAKE ALL exams and practicum; if not, then they will earn an F grade. Lecture Exams will be given at the beginning of lecture on the scheduled dates. Lecture exams will be composed of multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and/or matching. Short answer questions may also be given. Students are responsible for bringing their own #882-E scantron, #2 pencil, and eraser.

LECTURE HW: YOU ARE TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR ASSESSMENTS ON YOUR OWN; YOU MAY NOT WORK IN GROUPS. Lecture homework will primarily be given online and are due on their POSTED date. Lecture homework may be composed of multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and possibly short answer questions. Lecture worksheets will be primarily given online and are due on their POSTED date. Lecture worksheets will be self-directed learning activities and will be tied to an online quiz to assess learning

Make Up Policy: If you miss an exam/practicum WITHOUT A VALID & DOCUMENTED EXCUSE, you will earn a zero on that exam/practicum. If you miss an exam/practicum WITH A VALID & DOCUMENTED EXCUSE, the points for that exam/practicum will move to the final exam/practicum. For example, if you miss one lecture midterm exam (50 points), your final exam will now be worth 100 points. The only exception to the no make-up rule is the final exam; if you have a valid and documented excuse for missing the final exam (death in the family, hospitalization, military duties, etc.), then a make-up will be possible. Official documentation will be required. Please see me ahead of time to prepare accommodations.

Academic Integrity Policy: Any student who violates the SAC Academic Honesty Policy at a minimum (limited sanctions) will receive a 0 for the assignment or assessment and an Academic Misconduct Incident Report may be filed. College-wide sanctions include any sanction that will affect a students standing with the college-at-larger. Refer to the Santa Ana College’s Academic Honesty Policy as detailed in the SAC Catalog for more information.

Grading Policy: CHECK YOUR GRADES FREQUENTLY If you don’t complete an assignment, it will be scored as a zero. If you feel an assignment needs to be re-graded, then inform your instructor as soon as possible. The ENTIRE assignments will be regraded. There is NO GUARANTEE that the grade will go up. This must be done within a WEEK of viewing the key for the assignment. Your instructor will not change any grades that were acquired prior to the final exam after final grades are turned in. This course is not curved. Official semester grades will be available one week after the final on WebAdvisor.

10 pre/post labs          – 5 points each   = 50 points total
2 Lab Practical exams  – 40 points each = 80 points total
Renal Lab Presentation – 20 points        = 20 points total
                                                            = 500 pts Possible

Disability Services: Your success in this course is important! SAC and I are committed to providing individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodations. If you have a disability that may have some impact on your ability to do well in this course, I encourage you to speak with me as soon as possible. A student with a disability, who would like to request an academic accommodation, is responsible for identifying herself/himself to the instructor and to the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS). To make arrangements for academic accommodations, contact the Learning Disabilities Program by phone (714) 564-6264, TTY (714) 564-6284 for a referral to the appropriate DSPS Department. If you would like more information, visit http://sac.edu/StudentServices/DSPS. I look forward to supporting you to meet your learning goals.

Withdrawal Policy: Sometimes you may need to withdrawal from the course. It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO DROP THEMSELVES ON WEBADVISOR. Failure to drop yourself from the course will result in an official grade assignment.

Attendance Policy: Not attending the first class meeting or 10% of the course (lecture + lab) MAY result in a drop. There are no make-ups or late assessments/assignments unless you have a documented absence (like: military duty, medical emergency). Make sure you sign in daily. No visitors.

Check Blackboard Frequently:

• Announcements/class emails • Assignments • Grades • Lab manual • Lecture outlines • Slides • Get help at the Distance Education Office http://sac.edu/AcademicAffairs /DistanceEd Technology in the classroom: • Electronic devices are permitted for appropriate classroom use (like note-taking and viewing class handouts) ONLY. Disruptive behavior will be address appropriately (warning, point deduction, removal, and/or technology ban).

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)

• Students will learn terminology that will help them understand and communicate physiological concepts. • Students will be able to interpret feedback loops and physiological mechanisms. • Students will be able to apply physiological concepts to real world health problems.

STUDENT A&P RESOURCES: ü Tutors for all students are available at the Learning Center. Call them or visit them to make an appointment: http://sac.edu/AcademicProgs/HSS/LearningC enter ü Study in the Biology Study Center (R-207) http://sac.edu/AcademicProgs/ScienceMathH ealth/Biology/Pages/Biology-StudyCenter.aspx ü EOPS students have their own A&P tutors available. Visit their office and make an appointment: http://sac.edu/StudentServices/EOPS/Pages/d efault.aspx ü Take advantage of all SAC student services: http://www.sac.edu/ContinuingEducation/StudentServices

LAB QUIZZES: Lab quizzes will be given online or in-class and are assigned on the scheduled dates. They are based on the content found in the lab manual. Lab quizzes may be composed of multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and possibly short answer questions. YOU ARE TO TAKE ALL OF YOUR LAB QUIZZES ON YOUR OWN; YOU MAY NOT WORK IN GROUPS. ANY ACADEMIC DISHONESTY CASES WILL BE HANDLED ACCORDINGLY. No late work accepted.

Lab Materials: LAB MANUAL, PRE-LABS, POST-LABS, MS EXCEL FOR GRAPHING - Students are responsible for bringing their lab manual protocols (protocols can be printed or viewed on a digital device).

Pre-lab assignments MUST BE PRINTED and completed before entering the lab and will be turned in for credit; students may be asked to leave if their pre-lab is not complete.

Post-lab assignments MUST BE PRINTED and will be turned in for credit at the beginning of the next lab meeting. All graphs must be created on MS Excel (or similar software).

Lab Expectations: Students are expected to learn all the material listed in the lab manual (posted on Bb). General lab rules Attendance is mandatory. Lateness/leaving early/absences will result in loss of points. Learning how to keep a lab clean up and organization is essential for future professionals to learn. If students are disrespectful or rude to their fellow classmates, instructors or staff, then they may lose some or all of their participation points. STUDENTS MAY LOSE POINTS FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF EQUIPMENT/MODELS/SLIDES, BEING DISRESPRECTFUL TO ANY DISSECTED SPECIMEN, NOT FOLLOWING PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT, EATING/DRINKING, NOT DRESSING PROPERLY, OR FOR DISRUPTION ISSUES. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN LAB FOR THE ENTIRE LAB TIME UNLESS EXCUSED BY THE INSTRUCTOR. Students will ask questions, collaborate, and troubleshoot. KEEP YOURSELF AND OTHERS SAFE: Bring you PPE; IT’S MANDATORY AND SAFE. Labs must be kept clean and organized. Wipe down your bench, put all models/slides/equipment back in an organized fashion, push in your chair, check all waste bins and sinks, and check all common areas before you leave. Individuals/the entire class will lose participation points if the common spaces are left unclean, waste is not properly handled, and/or the lab is left disorganized.

LAB MATERIALS, PPE Students are responsible for bringing their lab protocols, AS15 scantrons, pencil, eraser, and personal protection equipment (PPE: gloves (not latex), closed-toed shoes, goggles/safety glasses, hair-tie to pullback long hair, lab coat/lab apron/long-sleeve shirt).

LAB PRACTICUM: Your lab instructor will explain practical set-ups the week before it is given. Questions are based on the content found in the lab manual. 50 questions and it is multiple choice. Students will have 1 minute per station.
