STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME:

Successful completion of this course will allow you to confidently identify the histology, major organs, and

body/organ regions of the eleven body systems.  This identification will include nerves, blood vessels, superficial body regions, skeletal structures and bones (including specific bone landmarks).  You will also be able to identify major muscles, including many muscle origins, insertions, and actions.  You will also be able to comfortably communicate using anatomical language. Using the anatomical language, you will be able to apply the anatomical knowledge that you have gained over the semester toward specific and limited clinical situations presented in this course.  Friends and family will turn to you for the answers to the mysteries of the human body!

 

 

PREREQUISITES:     This is a DIFFICULT and TIME-CONSUMING COURSE!!   NO Whining L

You are about to enter the world of the human body!  It is a large and complex area of study that will require a great deal of dedicated energy and time by you.  This course requires a commitment from you that you may not have experienced in your education thus far.  The payoff for your hard work, however, can be tremendous! 

 

Students are expected to have successfully completed Bio. 100, (or an equivalent course). If you have not completed the required prerequisites, you should take action to drop this course.  Your continued attendance in this course demonstrates completion of the required prerequisite.  If you do not comply with the prerequisite requirement, you will be given an "F" in the course (SDSU General Catalog).

 

It is YOUR responsibility to make the necessary arrangements (limit work schedule, limit home schedule, limit class load, etc.) that you personally need to allow YOU to be successful in this course.  You should make sure that you are educationally equipped and educationally mature enough to handle this type of course!  It is NOT my responsibility to sacrifice the integrity of the course to allow you to pass.  This is one of those courses that will help you to fully understand the phrase, "earning a degree"!

ParSCOREä FORMS:  Red ParSCORE forms will be used for all quizzes, homework and

 exams.  You must buy 1 “Enrollment Form” ParSCORE (6” x 11”, # F-288-ERI) for

official enrollment in this class.  You must also buy 20 narrow ParSCORE forms

(# F-289-ERI) for quizzes, homework and exams.  They are available at the bookstore and

must be used with a #2 pencil.  You will need the Enrollment ParSCORE by the

second lab meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

LECTURES:   It is very important that you attend all lectures.  Some of the material covered in

lecture is also covered in the text or lab.  On certain topics, however, I will be covering

material that is NOT in the text. These topics are likely to be on the exam. In addition, much of

the quiz material is covered in lecture.  I will also randomly choose a day from each unit to display possible essay questions for the exam.  You will only receive this added benefit if you attend.   If, on rare occasion, you are unable to attend lecture, make sure you get notes and all pertinent material from a fellow student.  If the lecture seems to go to fast, please feel free to tape the lecture.

 

* While in lecture, please TURN OFF CELL PHONES, and BEEPERS.  Also, please do not talk!  It is disruptive to me and to others.  If you need to occasionally leave lecture early, please make sure you sit near the exits. *

 

LABORATORY DAY:  Human Anatomy can only truly be learned by working with the

specimens (models, charts, cadavers, etc.) with your own hands and mind.  It is in the labs

that students have the opportunity to ask direct questions!  Attendance will be taken regularly

to assess student attendance.  If you are unable to attend lab, YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR

LAB INSTRUCTOR!  Each lab instructor will be giving BONUS LAB POINTS

to each student (worth up to 20 points) at the end of the semester.  These

points are based on attendance, participation, and overall effort in lab.

 

You may only have 3 excused absences (doctor's note & prior notification to lab instructor required).  For 1-3 unexcused absences, or any excused absence in excess of 3, 1 point is deducted.  3 points will be deduced for more than 3 unexcused absences. If you are late to lab, or if you leave early from lab, 1/2 point is deducted.  Lack of student participation (i.e. sleeping in lab, or major disruption of students) during lab may also lead to deductions in points.

 

 

READING:   The text chosen for this course is an excellent source of information and graphics. 

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE ASSIGNED READING MATERIAL IN

YOUR BOOK!  You will be quizzed on the reading material, as well as lecture/lab material,

assigned up to (but not including) quiz day (see lecture / reading schedule).   Plan to spend

approximately 1-2 hours or more reading and note-taking most nights (not including lab

material).

 

 

FRIDAY REVIEW-LAB:  Laboratory Learning Centers will be set-up on most Fridays (see schedule

on bulletin board outside labs).  It is staffed by UTAs (undergraduate teaching assistants)

to help with basic anatomy questions.  The Review-lab, however, is not used for FORMAL

INSTRUCTION.   All Anatomy material is available for self-learning and review.  Please

make sure you come prepared with the appropriate books and materials to help you study.   

Under no circumstances are photos or videos of cadavers, models, charts, or

any other material in the labs allowed.  NO GUESTS!!

 

 

QUIZZES:   Ten 10-point quizzes will be administered in your lab section.  Quiz dates are marked

on the “lab schedule” and “lecture / reading schedule”.  Questions will be drawn from your

assigned reading and lecture/lab up to (but not including) the day of the quiz.  For

example, quiz #2 covers reading in chapters 2 and 3, but not chapter 4.  Chapter 4 information

will be discussed in lecture on that quiz day.  If I lecture on new material that is not in the

reading on the day of a quiz, that material will not be included on the quiz.  Your lowest quiz

score will be dropped at the end of the semester.   There are NO makeup quizzes given,

and you must take all your quizzes in your assigned lab section, or get prior approval to take

it in another lab section (excused absences only).  ParSCORE NEEDED.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXAMS:   Five unit exams will be given during the semester.  These exams cover information from

lecture, reading, and lab.  They will be administered in your lab section.  NO LECTURE ON

EXAM DAY.  The exams will be a combination of short answer, identification, essay, and multiple choice.  On exam day, you will be handed an “Exam Packet” that includes all the pages of the exam.  At the end of the

exam, you must return all pages of that “Exam Packet”.  Failure to do so will result in an “F” for the exam, and notification to the Academic Judiciary Committee for possible cheating. 

               

All answer keys will be posted in the glass case across from LS-228, or outside LS-226.  If

you feel a mistake has been made in the grading of the exam, you must re-submit your exam

stapled to a “Re-grade Request” form to your lab instructor justifying your answers (with text

page #s, or dates of lecture material) within one week.  No adjustments will be made after

this time.  You must take ALL of your exams in your assigned lab section,

unless prior approval has been arranged with your lab instructor and me!!

ParSCORE NEEDED.

 

 

HOMEWORK:   Your Lab instructor will assign one 10-point homework assignment for each of

the five units covered.  Your Lab instructor will give you more information on assignments

and deadlines. ParSCORE NEEDED.

 

 

MAKE-UP POLICY:  CHECK THE COURSE SCHEDULE NOW!!

There will be no make-ups on homework, quizzes, or the last exam.  NO EXCEPTION. 

These all will be graded as a “zero”.  

 

Students who will be missing a day due to athletics or religious holiday must contact both Sandy and your lab

instructor within the first two weeks of school.

 

Make up exams are only given to students with a written statement from your physician verifying that you

were ill at the time of the exam.  If you feel you might be absent from an exam, contact your lab instructor to

see if it is possible to take the exam in a different lab.  This must be arranged prior to your exam, and can only

occur once during the semester. If this is not possible, a make-up exam will be given at a time

convenient to the course instructor, the lab instructor & the student.  The make up exams are

not the same format (i.e. lab practical format) as the original exam, and may be considered more difficult by

some, so make every effort to attend your exams.

 

 

GRADING:  Letter grades will be calculated based on the percentage of total possible points.  There will be no curving or grade adjustments.  The grading scale is a standard 90%, 80%, 70%, etc.  Plus grades will be assigned for those within 2% points of the next highest grade.  Grade Scales are as follows:

 


                                89.45 - 100   =        A                                             67.45 - 69.44 =       D+

                                                                                                                59.45 - 67.44 =       D

                                87.45 - 89.44 =       B+

                                79.45 - 87.44 =       B                                             0 - 59.44 =              F!

 

                                77.45 - 79.44 =       C+

                                69.45 - 77.44 =       C

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TIPS ON HOW TO SUCCEED IN THIS CLASS:    

This is a very intense course, requiring a great deal of TIME and EFFORT.  There are a few common tricks

that may help, however.  Here are a few “tips” that may help you to succeed:

 

          •  Attend all lectures and labs.  If you are unable to attend lecture, make sure you get complete notes from a friend.  Labs should be made up if possible.  You can arrange this through your lab instructor.  We also offer Friday Open-Labs to allow you to review information learned in class.

 

          •  Never fall behind!!  This class moves at a very fast pace.  It is virtually impossible to catch up if you fall behind.  Keep up with all reading and lab assignments.  It is recommended that you do NOT simultaneously take anatomy with other heavy courses, such as chemistry, physiology, or other lab courses.

 

          •  Study in small groups.  Studying in groups with other students allows you to get a variety of perspectives on the topics covered.  You must know the material quite well to share your own knowledge with those other students in your group.  They are also not afraid to speak up if you’ve made a mistake!  Historically, students studying together do better in class.

 

          •   Ask questions and attend office hours, if confused!  Many students are reluctant to go to their Lab TA’s or professor’s office hours.  Students who come in to clear up misunderstood information invariably do better on tests and quizzes.  Sometimes a small bit of confusion can ruin an entire section covered in class.  Most lab instructors will be available for questions at some time during most “Friday Open-Labs”. 

 

          • Friday Open Hours.   In addition to the regular set office hours, I also offer "Friday Open Hours" on most Fridays.  This allows students to come by my office individually, or as study groups, to ask questions.  I will often use the labs to help answer questions, or students will drop in from the Friday Open-Labs to ask questions.  This offers a casual atmosphere for student-instructor interaction.  If I am unavailable on Friday, I will post a note on my door.

 

          • Get tutoring.   If all else fails, private tutors are available to help students in anatomy.  These tutors are former students and teaching assistants in anatomy.  Names and phone numbers are listed across the hall from

          LS-225.

 

 

 

 

CHEATING:   Cheating includes (but is not limited to):

 

        • Receiving any specific information about a specific exam or quiz prior to you taking it.                             

                Don’t discuss the exam or quiz with students who have already taken it.

 

        •  Giving specific information about a specific exam or quiz prior to someone else                                                                                  taking it.  After taking the exam or quiz, don’t discuss the exam or quiz with students who

                have not already taken it.

 

        •  Using any unauthorized information during an exam.  Don’t look at a neighbor’s exam or quiz,                                                     don’t write on yourself or any part of your clothing, don't use cheat-sheets. Unauthorized information

                includes the use of CELL PHONES, PAGERS, or PDAs.  These devises are not allowed during an exam.

 

        •  Plagiarism.  Submitting, as your own, a paper that was authored by another person.  This                                                     includes (but is not limited to) written, carbon, Xerox, and computer copies.

 

        •  Changing answers after an exam.  Don’t try it!  We take special care to grade exams

                carefully and to mark them in such a way as to detect changes made after the exams have

                been returned.

 

        •  Not returning the entire "Exam Packet" at the end of the exam.  You are not allowed to

                leave the room after an exam with ANY PART of the exam packet!!

 

 

* CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. *

 If you are caught cheating, or we even suspect it, we will report you

to the Academic Judiciary Committee.  The penalty will be stiff - in the past, this has meant an “F” in the course.

 

 

 

 

 

An Appreciation of the Anatomical Gift

 

Dissection of the human body raises questions for students and researchers who first deal with cadavers about the source of bodies, bodily trespass, invasion of privacy, death, dying, and their own mortality. Facing and expressing feelings associated with human dissection helps prepare individuals who use cadavers for the respectful use of the material. Appreciation for the anatomical gift is an important part of our continuing sensitivity for human concerns. The following points and guidelines should be communicated to all individuals who use the anatomical gift.

 

1.   Dissection and cadaver use is a privilege. The cadaver is a precious resource.

      Receiving permission to dissect or observe it is a privilege that is revocable.

 

2.   A generous, anonymous person, who intended for his/her body to impart knowledge through dissection, donated the body.

 

3.   The body donor program that received the donation, embalmed the body, and oversees its use is a critical and positive development in the history of medical education. It fosters a partnership in learning between donor, teacher, and student.

 

4.   It is perfectly natural to feel uneasy and anxious at the prospect of first dealing with cadavers. Accept this in yourself. It is a normal and healthy response. Dealing with death is not supposed to be easy. It is part of being human.  You will be dealing with those feelings all your life. We faculty never lose our sense of awe around the cadavers.

 

5.   Talk about your feelings with the faculty. Share them with your peers.

 

6.   Treat the cadavers with respect. It may be helpful to regard it as the remains of a favorite aunt or uncle. There is a tendency in some to overcompensate for anxiety by becoming flippant. Please avoid this.

 

7.   Behavior around the cadaver must be appropriate for the seriousness of the work at hand and the nature of the human remains.

 

8.      No visitors are allowed in the lab.

 

9.      No food or open drink containers are permitted in the lab.

 

10. No photos / videos or radios of any kind are permitted in the lab.

 

11. Shoes must be worn in the lab at all times. 

 

12. Gloves must be worn for all contact with any biological or cadaveric specimens.

      I have read and understand the policies and procedures regarding the appropriate behavior within the lab and around cadavers.  I agree to adhere to these policies and procedures for safety concerns and out of respect for the anatomical gift.
