G. Use the tools and techniques required to complete a detailed dissection of the muscular and internal
anatomy of the cat.
H. Compare cat anatomy to the human examples.
IV. COURSE CONTENT:
(Compile a complete list of topics taught in the course. Arrange the list by topic with sub-headings. This list must be in
concordance with the topics presented in the catalog description, but should provide a greater level of detail. Some portion
of the content should relate clearly and directly to each one of the course objectives, although there need not be a one-to-
one correspondence between objectives and major topics. For a typical course, the level of detail should be such that the
list is between half a page and two pages in length.)

V. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
(Stating “lecture” as a method does not provide sufficient detail; instead, please provide instances of the types of activities
that may take place during lecture. An example of this would be: “In-class reading of dramatic texts by the instructor and
students, followed by instructor-guided interpretation and analysis.” In addition to specifying each activity, indicate how it
relates to one or more of the course objectives. Instructors have the academic freedom to choose how they will achieve
course objectives. If different instructors use different methods, each option should be described fully, including, if used,
distance learning methods. Please complete and attach a distance learning appendix form to this outline if part or all of any
offered section is taught using distance learning methods; this applies, for example, to television or Internet courses.)
METHODS MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
A. Demonstration of techniques such as: use of the microscope or muscle separation during a cat dissection.
B. Short lectures to explain procedures.
C. Use of photographic slides, overhead projection illustrations and other media to show examples of
material.

create a study guide for efficient examination preparation.
F. Use of instructor generated lists of terms, for each section of study, for which the student is responsible.
(For example, a list of all the skeletal bones and landmarks on each bone that the student must be familiar
with.)

VI. METHODS OF EVALUATION AND ASSIGNMENTS:
A. METHODS OF EVALUATION FOR DEGREE-APPLICABLE COURSES:
(Check any methods used to evaluate students in this course. At least one of these methods must be checked if
part 2, item TITLE 5, on the cover sheet is answered “ASSOCIATE DEGREE CREDIT (D).”)
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS (Examples: Short essays, term papers) x /
PROBLEM-SOLVING ASSIGNMENTS (Examples: Math-like problems, diagnosis & repair) /
PHYSICAL SKILLS DEMONSTRATIONS (Examples: Performance art, equipment operation) x /
FOR ANY COURSE, IF “WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS” ABOVE IS NOT CHECKED, EXPLAIN WHY.
Not applicable
B. TYPICAL GRADED ASSIGNMENTS (METHODS OF EVALUATION):
(Describe typical assignments. Not all assignments need be listed. “Term paper” alone is insufficient; indicate how the
selected assignments relate to the course objectives, and state the basis on which they will be graded or evaluated.
Make the list long enough so that at least one assignment addresses each course objective; some assignments may
simultaneously address more than one objective. The information presented here should make it clear that
demonstrated knowledge of required material constitutes a significant portion of the course grade.)
1. Evaluation includes student demonstration of proficiency in the use and care of the compound
microscope. Competency is monitored through the instructor’s personal observation of a student’s
hands-on ability to operate and identify the parts, functions of the parts of the microscope and of the
student’s success in finding and focusing on studied structures. Histological studies are drawn and
labeled by the student and reviewed by the instructor for accuracy.
2. Recognition of the microscopic elements of organ structure, tissue and cell types and functions is
evaluated through completion of study guides, which demand labeled drawings and response to short
answer questions. Comprehension of this material is also required for success on the practical
laboratory examinations. Practical laboratory examinations involve students in hands-on interaction
with samples and specimens.
3. Practical laboratory examinations are used to evaluate the student’s knowledge of the gross anatomy,
organ systems and the relationships between cell types, tissue types, organs, and organ systems.
Practical examinations require the student to answer short answer questions about tagged three-
dimensional structures. A student’s ability to perform an accurate dissection is also evaluated at this
time.
4. Student participation is monitored through the instructor’s personal observation and interaction with
students during lab sessions. Students are directed to work closely with each other. Cooperative,
careful, conscientious and invested lab comportment is evaluated for.
5. Oral quizzing is frequently utilized to monitor the student’s preparation and focus on task.
6. Proficiency in performing is dependent on consistent attendance. Student attendance is recorded and
incorporated with a point value into the final course grade.
C. TYPICAL OUTSIDE OF CLASSROOM ASSIGNMENTS:
(Provide evidence that the intensity of the course requires students to engage in independent study outside of class
hours. Give specifics of typical assignments, including titles of readings and topics of writing assignments.
Assignments must clearly relate to course objectives and content.)
1. READING:
Appropriate chapters from the course text are assigned as the outside reading responsibility of the
student. This reading demands intensive study of anatomical illustrations, photomicrographs and
labeled figures describing functional and organizational characteristics of the human systems. The
ability to identify Latin roots and work patterns is an essential skill demanded of students learning the
correct anatomical vocabulary. Pathologies and embryonic development of the human systems are
also discussed. Current medical and forensic events and investigations as presented in the popular
media, newspapers and scientific journals are also frequently assigned as course reading for group
discussion in class.
2. WRITING:
Students are required to compete sets of study guides outlining the functional and organizational
characteristics of the human systems. Study guides frequently direct students to compose written
descriptions of complex aspects of the human system and to discuss relationships between cell types,
tissues, and organ systems. Descriptions may include drawings, diagrams, and tables relating
structural details and functionality.
3. OTHER:
A CD-ROM titled “Essential Study Partner for Human Anatomy” accompanies the Van De Graaff text
chosen for this course. Students are directed to utilize the CD-ROM as a supplemental study aid.
Chapter examinations and quizzes are available on the CD-ROM and may be required as practice pre-
examination assignments. A database of Internet links has been compiled which support course
objectives. Students are asked to access and utilize a broad range of Internet available programs
appropriate for their study.
VII. TEXTBOOKS AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:
(Please provide author, title, publisher, and, if appropriate, publication date for all materials listed. Ensure that texts are
current and written at college level.)
