Office Hours: by appointment
1. REQUIRED BOOKS:
Seeley’s Anatomy & Physiology, by Seeley, VanPutte, Regan, & Russo
McGraw Hill, 2011 (ninth edition).
Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual, by Marieb, Pearson/Benjamin Cummings, 2011 (ninth edition)
Optional CDs: MediaPhys3.0 (McGraw Hill) provides animations and explanations of much of the physiology. 1) Physio-Ex CD-ROM, supplied with Marieb lab manual; Anatomy & Physiology Revealed provides photos, pictures and animations of anatomy (including cadaver pictures), histology, and some physiology. (A copy of each of these CD’s will be in 6201 French-West so anyone who wants to give it a quick review before deciding on purchase can do so during open lab time.)
2. Course Web Site: http://blackboard.uc.edu. Note that all the lab sections linked to the evening lecture are combined into a Meta-course, meta_griffer_6303; course name - (Meta 12W Anatomy & Physiology II (901-903).. Material related to the lecture, lecture grades, and information relevant to all lab sections will be posed on this Meta-course. Your individual lab section Blackboard (Bb) course will contain lab information that is specific to your lab section and will usually be posted by your lab instructor. You should check both Bb sites regularly for announcements or new postings. Please make sure that the email address listed with your Blackboard account (under Tools, personal information), is accurate and that it is an email account that you check regularly. I will use this email address to contact you.
3. REQUIRED RF (radio frequency) KEYPAD: To receive credit for in-class questions, students will need to purchase and register a TurningPoint RF Personal Response System (PRS) Keypad, available from the UC bookstore or on line from TurningTechnologies, maker of TurningPoint software and hardware. They have established a site for the University of Cincinnati to purchase transmitters directly. The site sells transmitters at cost plus a nominal shippingcharge - providing a small savings. To visit the site, follow this link - http://store.turningtechnologies.com/. The code for the University of Cincinnati is - Jg@8. Either ResponseCard (with or without the LCD display) will work. You can also use ResponseWare (the web/phone method); a license is available only from the Turning store.
Important! The PRS keypad must be registered for this course this quarter at the Blackboard meta-course site; follow the instructions posted on the welcome announcement on this Blackboard site.
On-line quizzes: On-line quizzes will be given before each lecture based on specific reading assignments from the textbook. The deadline for completing each quiz will be the beginning of the next class (6:30 pm). The main purpose of each quizzes is to prepare you for each class.
GRADING POLICY:
One course grade will be given for each quarter of Anatomy and Physiology based on a total of 600 points; 200 points come from the lab (see lab syllabus for details). 400 points will come from the lecture, based on 2 exams (100 points for the 1st exam, 100 for the 2nd), a comprehensive final exam (150 points), on-line quizzes (30 points) and in class PRS questions (20 points).
A letter grade for the course will be assigned based on the following approximate distribution: A = 534 points or more (88.5% or higher); B = 468-533 pts (77.5-88.4%); C = 390-467 pts (64.5-77.4%); D = 330-389 pts (54.5-64.4%); F = below 330 pts 54.5%). Plus/minus grading will not be used in this course. The instructor reserves the right to reduce the number of points required for a given letter grade.
MAKE-UP EXAM POLICY: There will be no scheduled make-up exams in either lab or lecture. If you are ill the day of your scheduled lab exam, you must contact your TA, the lab director or the course instructor as soon as possible to get permission to take the exam in one of the other lab sections. If you do not take a lab exam or lab quiz, you will be assigned a failing grade for that exam or quiz. You must provide documentation from a doctor.
If you miss a lecture exam due to documented illness or a documented emergency, a make-up exam will be administered by appointment or at the time of the final exam as determined by the course instructor. If you miss both lecture exams you will not receive a course grade.
If you miss the FINAL EXAM due to documented illness or a documented emergency, a make-up final exam will be administered by appointment during exam week or early in the spring quarter as determined by the course instructor.
Cheating: Any indication of academic dishonesty during an exam or quiz will be grounds for a grade of 0 for that activity. The instructor reserves the right to assign a grade of F for the entire course if warranted. *Please read the Student Code of Conduct for a discussion of what constitutes cheating and academic dishonesty.*
Using your textbook: The Anatomy and Physiology text is encyclopedic. On line quiz questions will be based on specific pages indicated for each quiz. The schedule below, the quizzes and the lectures will provide the best guide for what specific material you will be responsible for learning; approximate pages are listed below.
Taking complete notes in lecture is an important aspect of this course. The exams are based on what is presented in class and anything that is specifically assigned (including the quiz pages). I do not post my lecture notes on line, though I will post the figures from the text that I will be discussing. To understand the lectures and take appropriate notes, it will be very helpful for you to know what material is in the text before you attend the lecture on that topic. I strongly recommend that you at least look at the headings and figures in the text on each topic before lecture. It will be helpful for note taking to print out a small version of each figure that will be discussed.
After lecture, you should use the textbook to fill in or augment your notes, and to review figures and diagrams. Your goal is to understand the lecture sufficiently so that you could present the lecture to someone else using your notes. Some students need to read whole sections to get the context; other students can extract information by reading selected paragraphs and/or studying the figures, diagrams, and charts. If you do not understand the material soon after a lecture, it is unlikely that you will understand it a few weeks later. Please come and see me as soon as possible during office hours or by appointment or by attending SI sessions to clarify any material that is not clear.

Extra Help: A supplemental instructor (SI), Mary Ann Zavertnik, has been assigned to this course. She will lead peer groups.
The information presented in this course should make sense in terms of what you have learned in other courses, previous knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and any information you have about clinical situations. If something does not seem right or make sense, please ask for help. You can ask questions before or in class, after class, via email, or by making an appointment. Do not wait until after the exam.

SUGGESTED READINGS FROM THE TEXTBOOK
The page numbers above indicate the general area of the text for each lecture. I will post the figures that we will discuss before each lecture. I strongly advise that you look over the figures and reading before the lecture on that topic; 15 – 30 minutes should be adequate to become familiar with the concepts and examples; after lecture, study specific topics in more detail, as needed, and revise and/or annotate your notes. Your notes should be good enough that you could now give the lecture, using these notes.
