Course Description

Continuation
of BIO 230 (Anatomy and Physiology I).  Covers
fundamental mechanisms governing the function of blood cell formation, immune
function, respiration, digestion, and endocrinology.  Laboratory exercises focus on selective
physiological function. Students cannot receive credit from this course if they
have taken BIO 331.

Prerequisites: BIO 230 (Absolute
requirement) or equilibrant

Credit hours: 4 (Lecture 3 hours,
laboratory 2 hours.)

Teaching philosophy and
Instructor’s Responsibilities:

My teaching philosophy is to challenge students to learn
beyond their expectations and help them develop problem-solving skills through
independent learning and thinking.
My goal is to do the best possible job of teaching this course. The
laboratory sessions have been designed to provide as much hands-on experience as
possible. I expect to come to each class well prepared and to clearly
communicate information that is relevant to this course. I strongly encourage
and welcome classroom discussion about the topics being presented. I am also
eager to answer any questions you may have during the lecture or laboratory sessions.

Student’s
Responsibilities:

I expect you to come to each lecture and laboratory
session with a desire to learn. You are also expected to complete the reading
assignments, study the material thoroughly outside of class, and come to class
prepared to ask questions about subjects that are unclear to you. Remember,
learning is an active process and requires a significant amount of time and
effort!

Grading

Based upon hourly examinations (5), Case studies (4 per semester), a
Community Engagement project, and weekly quizzes.

Hourly
exams: 500 pts (100 pts per exam)

Laboratory
Practical: 200 pts (50 pts per, 4 per semester)

Community
Engagement Project: 200 pts

Quizzes:
100 pts

Assignments:
100

Total
= 1000 pts

Grading Scale: >90 % = A, 80-89 % = B,
70-79 % = C, 60-69 % = D, <60 % = F

Exams

There
will be four hourly examinations plus one final examination.  Dates of the exams will be announced at
least one week before the anticipated exam date.  Each exam consists of multiple
choice-type questions and written questions.  Questions on the exam are designed not
only to evaluate your ability to acquire and recite information presented in
the lectures but also to think critically and solve problems.  At least 50 % of questions on any given
exam will be application questions that require you to use information
presented in the lectures to answer them.
Final exam is another hourly test and worth 100 points.  The University of Mississippi Medical
College policy will be applied on the day of the exam.  You are allowed to take only writing
utensils and a scientific calculator to your chair.  Your books, notes, cell phones, and
other electronic devises, as well as backpack and purses must be placed on the
tables located in front of the room as you enter the room during the
examination.

Case Studies

There
will be four case studies throughout this course.  You will be asked to make diagnosis of
the condition, identification of causes, and possible treatment options based
on the conditions presented in each case.
I will try to identify actual cases presented in scientific and medical
journals that are relevant to the subject being covered in the lecture and
laboratory.

Quizzes:

There
will be a weekly open-book, open-note quiz (10 pts per quiz).  The questions on the quizzes will come
from the review material from previous courses including BIO 100, current
lecture material, and selective questions on the Medical Collage Admission Test
(MCAT) and Nursing program entrance examination.  There will not be a quiz on the week of
examination.

Community Engagement Project

There
will be a community engagement project that is worth 200 points.  The
objective of this project is to educate Delta State
University students and
others about and those who commute about relationship between eating habits and
blood level of cholesterol and glucose and how they affect person’s
health.  Your goal is to introduce
your audience (your choice) about healthy eating habits and life style by using
what you learned from the community engagement project that you did in BIO 230
(Anatomy and Physiology I).    Moreover, we would like to assess
whether choice of food being available on-campus provide enough alternatives
for students to maintain healthy lifestyle.  Data collected in this study will be
analyzed to determine whether students at Delta State
University are aware of
their eating habits and their effects on their blood cholesterol level.

Make-up exams and quizzes:

There
will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS OR QUIZZES.  If you know that you are going to miss
the exam class, you must do the following:

1)
Complete request
for changing examination date form (available in Walters 150)

2)
Have the form signed
by Dean of
College of Arts and Sciences (Mr. Collier Parker, Kethley
113) and Chairman of the Division of Biological and Physical Sciences (Dr, Barry Campbell, Walters 150)

3)      In addition, have the form signed by the
Chairperson of the respective department (Nursing: Dr. Carlson, Family and
Consumer Sciences: Dr. Jan Haynes, Athletic Training: Dr. Tim Colbert) if you
are not in the science program.

4)
Obtain the note from the coach,
band director, etc. if you are going to miss the exam due to the
University-sanctioned events.

You
must provide the instructor with completed request form and other additional
documents at least three days before the anticipated exam.  Only then, you may take the make-up
examination.  Other emergencies such
as illness, family emergency, and car problems must be substantiated by written
documents.  Otherwise, you will
receive ZERO on your missed exams.  REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION, YOU MUST
INFORM THE INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE GOING TO MISS EXAMS.  ANY TYPE OF EXCUSES,
LEGITIMATE OR NOT, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED 48 HOURS AFTER THE EXAM IS DISTRIBUTED.

Class Attendance and Tardiness

Students
are expected to follow all University Policies.  Class attendance will be taken at the
beginning of each class.  It is YOUR responsibility to attend all class
and laboratory meetings.  Although I
am not very strict on class attendance as many other instructors are, I WILL NOT TOLERATE TARDINESS!  YOU WILL BE MARKED AS LATE ONCE I close the door.   If you are late for the day of the
exam, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER
THE ROOM IF YOU ARE LATE, AND YOU WILL RECEIVE ZERO (0) ON THE EXAM.

Class
attendance will be used as the X-factor on your final grade as follow:

1)      Greater than 95 % = Maximum
3 % added. Most likely one letter grade if on the border line (87 %, 77 %, 67
%, etc)

2)      90-94 % = Maximum 1.5 % added

3)      Below 90 % = 0 % added

Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devises

All
cell phones and other electronic devises such as i-pod
must be turned off and must remain inactive during lecture and laboratory.  Please turn them off before entering the
classroom or laboratory.  You will
be asked to leave the room if these devises become activated during lecture and
laboratory. IF YOU LEAVE THE ROOM TO
ANSWER YOUR CELL PHONE, YOU WILL BE MARKED AS ABSENT AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO
RE-ENTER THE LECTURE.  Activation of these devises, as well as departure from the room to
answer the phone, during examination will result in automatic “F”
on the exam.

Extra Credits:

I
will provide some opportunities for you to earn extra credits (up to 45 points,
which is half of the letter grade).
I often give assignments and homeworks to
replace quizzes or supplement your exam scores.  You should also keep all the record from
each lab exercise meticulously in your notes (separate from
your lecture notes).  You may turn
in your laboratory notes at the end of semester for extra credit.
However, YOU MUST HAVE A
PASSING GRADE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE EXTRA CREDITS FROM THE LABORATORY NOTES.  FURTHERMORE, SLOPPY LAB NOTES WILL NOT
BE COUNTED FOR EXTRA CREDITS.

Disability Services at Delta
State University

Americans
with Disability Act is designed to provide necessary accommodations to ensure
equal opportunity for learning and prevent discrimination of students with
disability.   If you need
accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the
building must be evacuated, please inform Disability Service (Dr. Richard
Houston, coordinator) at Reilly
Student Health
Center  (846-4690, [email-masked]) immediately.
It is the campus office responsible for reviewing documentation provided by
students requesting academic accommodations, and for accommodations planning in
cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and consistent with course
requirements.

Academic Dishonesty:

As
a member of academic community, you are expected to complete your own work
honorably.  Any
effort to gain unfair advantages over others, whether it is successful or not,
is considered as academic dishonesty.  We regard academic dishonesty as an
extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation
to expulsion. Cheating on exams and quizzes, as well as copying other’s
laboratory assignments, homeworks, and other works will
not be tolerated.  Those who are
caught cheating will be penalized as follow:

First
offense: Automatically receive Zero (0) on the exam and assignment. Your action
will be reported to the chairperson of the Division of Biological and Physical
Sciences and chairperson of your academic program (if not science)

Subsequent
offenses: Automatically receive a failing grade (F) on the course and dismissal
from the course as well as suspension and possible expulsion from the
university.  Your action will be
reported to the chairperson of the Division of Biological and Physical
Sciences, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Chairperson of your
academic program (if not science), and Vise-President of Academic Affairs (Dr.
Wayne Blansett).
