Course Description: This course is an introduction to human anatomy and physiology which includes both a lecture and lab. The lab includes histology, the skeleton, a cat dissection, and a physiologically oriented small project.

Exams: There will be three midterm exams (100 pts. each) and a comprehensive final exam (200 pts.). There will be a 5-10 page term paper that will cover a topic within either pathophysiology or human performance (100 pts.). For the lab there will be two practical exams worth 100 pts. each. There will be no make-up exams given except for cases of extreme illness or family emergencies, which must be documented by a physician. The last month of the lab will devoted to a small project(s) that may (but does not have to) use the computer-based equipment in the lab (100 pts.).

Grades : Marks will be assigned such that: > 90% of the highest score in the class = A; 80-89% = B; 70-79% = C; 60-69% = D; and <60%= F.

Your Responsibilities: You are expected to attend lectures & labs, & do the reading. I strongly suggest that you get to know a few people in the class, so that you can study together. The best way to learn something is to have to explain it to somebody else. You are welcome to come into the lab after hours and study on your own. You are responsible for cleaning up your lab space at all times. No food or drink is allowed in the lab.

Academic Honesty: As responsible adults, you are expected to do your own work on exams and make sure that your classmates do likewise. Violations of the above are contrary to the pledge you took at Matriculation.
