BIOL235 Human Anatomy and Physiology
Textbook
- The Biol 235 eText has been converted into a series of PDFs accompanying each Study Guide unit.
- the keywords and topics that you are required to learn are underlined and/or highlighted in green.
- You will not be tested on content that has been crossed-out, this includes missing or stricken tables, figures, or text referenced by unedited text.
- Some tables and figures have a mix of highlighted and un-highlighted sections. Only the highlighted sections are assigned.
- The 15th edition of the eText (customized PDF) is the official course textbook.
- the 16th edition of the eText in the WileyPLUS learning resources and Adaptive Practice only allow small modifications => and thus will occasionally reference unassigned material.
- ignore any details that are not included in the customized PDF textbook chapters.
- the use of WileyPlus and Adaptive Practice vital to your success in the course and their use is strongly recommended.
- Also, some of the interaction resources that are supposed to be animated may not work
Objectives
- (Adapted from HAPS Learning Outcomes Project, 2010)
- Develop a vocabulary of terminology to communicate the information effectively for topics related to human anatomy and physiology.
- Know, recognize, and explain the principle of Homeostasis and how the feedback systems control the physiological processes in the human body.
- Know, understand, and explain the connections within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body.
- Know the anatomical structures, explain physiological functions, and recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis applied to all 11 systems of the human body.
- Use knowledge of anatomy to predict physiological responses and use knowledge of physiology to predict the variations of anatomical structures.
- Synthesize ideas and understand how changes to anatomy and physiology could result in situations of homeostatic imbalances.
Evaluation
- each unit using 2 weeks
- 1% - Assignment 0
- 36% - 6 Quizzes closed-book can take a look at the notes
- 15% - 3 Assignments open book
- require you to use in-text citation for any points you've made from the textbook with page numbers, e.g. (Tortora and Derrickson, 2021, p. 199); (Tortora and Derrickson, 2021, pp. 199-200)
- Make sure you add a reference list at the end of the assignment even if you've only used the textbook (although some assignments may require more).
- Be VERY careful to write the assignments in your own words! Even if you're using the textbook extensively, you MUST re-word them so that it's not plagiarism. We are now coming down on this very specifically. I'm not looking for any specific formatting for your assignments (e.g. APA format is not necessary).
- paraphrase - rewording; present own idea
- Make sure you have enough detail in your responses to ensure high grades!
- I'd suggest at least a half page per question in your response.
- 48% - 3 Exams can be re-taken to boost grades, but not quiz/assignment
