Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology
by Sylvia S. Mader (McGraw-Hill)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to acquaint students with the
structure and function of the human body. An integrated presentation of the
anatomy and physiology of organ systems is given.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
(Learning Outcomes):
After completing this course, students will be able to:
1.
Describe the major organ systems of the human body
2.
Explain how those organ systems work
3.
Explain how many disease processes interfere with normal
function
4.
Explain how the body defends against disease
5.
Identify and explain the inter-relatedness of the bodys
systems
ASSESSMENT:
The students attainment of
the learning outcomes will be assessed in the following ways:
The students understanding of
the terminology, concepts, and theory of human anatomy and physiology will be
measured through weekly quizzes, three exams, each covering
one-third of the course, weekly
written assignments, and lab projects.
ASSIGNMENTS:
IMPORTANT! Students are expected to read the
material in the text OUTSIDE OF CLASS.
Students will be expected to complete
assigned readings and written assignments by their due dates. Students will
also study the basic key terms and the clinical key terms at the end of
chapters, review the study questions, and complete the objective questions to
be turned in at the end of each chapter. These study questions as well as the
objective questions will be included on the quizzes and tests. Quizzes and exams
will be constructed on a True or False, Multiple-Choice, Matching,
Identification, Fill-In, and Short- and Long-Essay format.
IF YOU
ARE HAVING PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING THE READING OR THE MATERIAL COVERED IN CLASS
PLEASE SEE ME ASAP!! (However, I will
expect that you have made a good faith effort to attend class and read the
assigned material). J
