The Lab textbooks are essential components of your instruction in Human Anatomy and
Physiology. Your textbook is equally essential because complementary reading
assignments will reinforce the instruction in this lab. It is very difficult to succeed in this
course without them. Therefore, no one will be admitted to class after the third week of
classes without the required textbooks for this class.
The laboratory portion of the Human Anatomy and Physiology course is an important
integral part of your education in Anatomy and Physiology. The lab manual presents the
basic anatomical structures of the human body in a self instructional manner. The purpose
of this approach is to encourage you to THINK for yourself, DO for yourself, TAKE the
INITIATIVE, and be RESPONSIBLE for your own learning. Planning ahead, studying
the assigned reading before class, working efficiently, and thinking about what you are
doing before you do it will pay great dividends. So do not be bashful, cooperate and do
your share of the work when working in groups, do your own work on individual tasks,
don’t be afraid to ask questions, and HAVE FUN. This course can be a very enjoyable
experience.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE.
1.- Students will learn what anatomy deals with and its different divisions, as well as new
vocabulary related with this science.
2.- Students will be able to describe anatomical position and identify anatomical
landmarks of the body, as well as the anatomical planes.
3.- Recognition of the regions in which the abdomen is divided for anatomical study and
organs related to those regions.
4.- Get a general idea about the different systems of the human body and where those
organs are located.
5.- Learn the division of the skeleton in axial and appendicular, and the bones that form
each one, as well as the main bone markings.
6.- Identification of isolated bones and bones attached to the skeleton.
7.- Study the structure of long, flat, and some irregular bones in a summarized way.
8.- Identification of muscles in groups and independently, as well as location and the
most general function.
9.- The students will review the embryonic development of the nervous system and how
it relates to the structures in the adult person.
10.- Identification of structures in the brain and the spinal cord, as well as the main
functions.
11.- Students will learn to correlate the book with the A.D.A.M. interactive program and
with the models in the lab to identify the anatomical structures.
12.- At the end of the course, the students will have a more complete and appropriate
understanding about how to correlate the structures on models with the real human body.
LABORATORY POLICY
2
Students are expected to be prepared before the lab sessions by completing all reading
assignments for that particular class date. At the beginning of the laboratory period, the
instructor will explain what you are to do so that you can complete the exercise(s) on
your own. Please pay attention and ask questions if you are confused. The instructor will
not do the exercises assigned on a particular date. Not reading your laboratory
manual/test book will waste valuable time for you, fellow students, and the instructor. Do
not waste time! The semester will be over before you know it!
Laboratory will begin on time. The instructor only has to be here during regularly
scheduled laboratory hours. Students will also be responsible for cleaning up after lab.
Therefore, make sure your schedule permits for activities occurring outside your regular
lab period.
This laboratory requires extra time and effort on your part in order to make good
progress. Be flexible and able and willing to go the extra mile to do well. You may come
to the lab to review the models if you talk with the lab manager and agree on a day and
time with him to do so.
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION
Attendance to the laboratory sessions is mandatory. Attendance will be checked
during every scheduled laboratory session. Any absence means that the student is not in
the laboratory participating, practicing, and learning. Not staying for the whole lesson is
equal to be absent that day. The effect is the same whether the student is hospitalized,
attending a funeral, or just enjoying a day that seemed too nice to be wasted on attending
lab. The only case to have an excused absence will be when the student has been
hospitalized, which MUST be proven by showing the medical document stating the fact.
Any extenuating circumstances will be dealt with on an individual basis, but the
instructor has the right either to justify or not he situation based on a personal criterion.
Being absent will result in loss of points and this fact will affect the total course grade.
Being late three times will lead to one day absence, which will also affect the total
course grade.
The instructor can request withdrawal,Drop or assign a Failing (F) grade for students
with 3 (three) undocumented absences.
-Each Undocumented absence reduces your average Score (final grades) One Point.
The student MUST keep track of his/her individual absences so that he/she knows when
he/she is about to be dropped out by the instructor.
NO EXCEPTIONS! Missed laboratory exercises can be made up by the student with the
instructor’s approval. The exercises to be used for the make up will be chosen from the
materials oriented for the course. In addition, many laboratory exercises are done in large
groups. Each student in the group is responsible to learn not only the lab activities
assigned to him/her, but also those assigned to other members of the group as well
because any part of the material studied could be assessed on quizzes or testes. Therefore,
students who show disruptive behavior, leave early, or in any way penalize the group,
will be assessed negative points at the discretion of the instructor. These points will be
3
deducted from the attendance and participation grade. Remember, if you are absent, you
are not participating. If you are disrupting the class or showing inappropriate behavior
among the members or you group, you are not participating. Your performance in this lab
course will be dependent on your attendance to all lab sessions scheduled during the
semester.
EXAMS AND LAB REPORTS.
Exames are worth 20 points each. All Exames will be administered at the beginning of
the regularly scheduled lab periods. Exames will be administered as scheduled. At the
end of the semester, 8. The Exames will be administered during the first 15-30 minutes of
the scheduled lab period. Therefore, if you arrive late to class, you will not be allowed to
make up the Exame for that particular date. Please note: THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-
UP TESTS if the student cannot prove he/she had a strong reason to justify hi/her not
taking the quiz on the scheduled day. The instructor has the right to decide if a student
may or may not make up a Test. Therefore, attendance to each exam or quiz (on time) is
absolutely mandatory. Furthermore, if you leave the classroom early or immediately after
the quiz/exam, the instructor will consider you absent for that lab period and your
quiz/exam will be graded “0”. The Exames consist of multiple choices, fill in the blanks,
matching, and/or diagram questions to identify structures, and they will assess material
covered in lab and in the lab manual. Questions that involve applications of learned
material, clinical and logical reasoning may also be included in lab quizzes. Any extra
credit points (if assigned by the instructor) will be earned through additional exam
questions added to each quiz, or in other written assignments. Any part of the text
assigned in the lab manual can be evaluated on quizzes.
The instructor will keep all Exames. Receiving a exame and looking at it on the day of
the test constitutes taking that exame. If you attend class the day of the exame, you must
take it. Students are responsible for studying every day so that they can be ready to take
quizzes when scheduled.
There will be NO justifications for not taking the exame if the student is present. If you
wish to use a calculator (when necessary) for any exame, you must bring your own one.
You will not be allowed to share calculators with your neighbor. In addition, you must
bring a #2 pencil and eraser for the exams since the instructor will not provide theses
materials. Do not use a pen to do quizzer or exams. If you use a pen and you make
corrections that make the exam dirty or improper in any way for the instructor to correct
it, you may lose several points.
Academic Honesty. Cheating will not be tolerated and will meet with the strongest
disciplinary action possible. In this class, seating in separate seats when taking a quiz or
exam will be part of the policy, so try to do it on your own as soon as the indication to
start the quiz is given. You MUST KEEP TRACK of all your grades in a personal
notebook or grade card during the course. If you are absent on that day, you have to email
the instructor asking for your grade (refer to the specific number or name of quiz or exam
in your email) and say in your email if you wish to see your quiz or exam. The instructor
4
will not bring to class all the corrected exams every single day the class meets. The
instructor is not responsible of your not keeping track of your grades. Study hard to get a
good grade from the first moment. Make-up quizzes or extra credits to improve grades
will not be part of the regular policy of the course. The instructor encourages interaction
and discussion amongst students. However, we have found that students who prepare
their lab worksheets independently tend to learn more.
Assignments: They will be taken from the books being used. The instructor will check
the completion of assignments in the student’s book. This will count for the total course
grade.
STUDENT GRADES.
Grades for this laboratory will be determined as follows:
I.- Attendance, Participation, Punctuality-------10 points.(This is not an extra credit)
II.-Assignments/Presentation/Homeworks --------------------10 points. .(This is not an
extra credit)
III.- Tests (4) -----------------------------------80 points(20 points/each )
-Non of the tests will be dropped
Final Grade: It will be generated automatically by the computer program based on a
mathematical formula after having introduced all the information about periodical
evaluations, attendance, assignments, and participation.
The final grades of the course will be available on the star system of the college.
Grades will be determined according to the following scale:
A = 90 – 100 B = 80 – 89
C = 70 – 79 D = 60 – 69 F = 50 or below.
A passing grade will be 70 % or more.
However, the performance of the class will be monitored during the semester and a curve
may be applied to calculate the final grades if applicable and only at the discretion of the
instructor.
Incomplete Grades: Incomplete (i) grades will be given in consultation with the student
and upon agreement of the instructor only when extenuating circumstances have
prevented the student from completing the course. In order to be considered for an “I”, a
student must have successfully completed a minimum of one-half the work in the course
with a minimum grade of C or better.
Note: the Incomplete (I) grades must be completed in a time agreed upon between the
instructor and the student. If not completed by the agreed upon time, the incomplete (I)
grade becomes an F.
If the student is facing problems that eventually will force him/her to have an incomplete
(I) grade, the student MUST talk with the instructor in order to discuss this possibility.
5
The instructor will analyze the situation and will make the final decision. This agreement
will be made between both the student and the instructor by signing an official document.
Withdrawals: The instructor is not required to withdraw/drop students from the course.
It is the student’s responsibility to determine his/her status in the course at all time.
STUDENT RESPONSABILITIES AND CONDUCT.
Professional students are responsible for taking charge of their own education by being
prepared before every lesson and conducting themselves appropriately during all learning
activities. The instructor will not tolerate class disruptions that prevent other students
from benefiting from the learning process. These include unwarranted noises, talking
among students while the instructor explains important concepts of answers questions
posed by another student, unacceptable gestures, and the operation of electronic artifacts
(beepers and cellular phones) during regular laboratory sessions. The instructor reserves
the right to expel disrupting students from the classroom at anytime, request disciplinary
action from the Dean of Academic Affairs, and even assign a failing grade to those who
display such anti-pedagogic behavior. If a student is not working on the assigned
activities, the instructor might ask him/her to leave the lab and assign an absence for that
day.
STUDY TIPS AND GUIDELINES FOR SUCCESS.
MAKE A COMMITMENT TO SUCCEED:
Decide to do well in the course. Spend the time. This course requires at least a minimum
of 14 hours of study per week outside of class. Be responsible for your own learning.
Except to learn more than what is covered in class. Remember this career may be your
lifelong profession or at least your permanent professional field.
GET HELP RIGHT AWAY:
Do not wait for someone to ask if you need help. Your success in this course depends on
how well you understand the concepts covered during the semester. Use the Study
Partner CD-ROM that accompanies the textbook, the PhysioEx CD-ROM that comes
with the lab manual, and the computer courtyard. Review your notes after each lab.
WORK WITH A STUDY GROUP:
Meet regularly. Be sure everyone contributes and understands.
TIE IDEAS AND CONCEPTS TOGETHER:
Connect the material to what you already know. Look for the big picture, not just isolated
details.
Be able to apply information in a new situation.
