Lecture: Mon & Wed 11-11:50, BISC Auditorium
Laboratory (Required): Bioscience Annex, DeWolf Anatomy Laboratory. You must be concurrently enrolled in a laboratory section.
Required Texts: 1) Martini, Timmons & McKinley (2000) Human Anatomy 3rd edition. 2) Timmons & McKinley (2000) Human Anatomy Laboratory Guide and Dissection Manual 2nd ed.

 Course Description and Rationale:  Welcome to Human Anatomy! In this course, you will learn the external and internal structures of the human body and the physical relationships among body parts. The lecture and laboratory sessions are designed to complement each other, thus attendance at both is essential in order to do well in the course. Lecture sessions will focus on concepts of anatomy at the cellular, tissue, and organ system level of organization. Laboratory sessions will take a practical (hands on) approach to studying the gross anatomy of human organ systems using models and preserved organs and specimens. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of anatomy that you will use to build upon in more advanced courses in anatomy, physiology, and health care. In order for me to help you do well in this course, and even exceed your goals, I have set up a few guidelines for you:

 Courtesy: Please be courteous to your fellow students and instructor during lecture and laboratory sessions, come to class on time, remain seated for the duration and listen quietly to lectures. But do speak up when you have a question! Behavioral problems and distractions will not be tolerated. Most of the students taking this course are serious students who have a goal in mind, which includes mastering this information that they will use in their future careers.

 Self-Quizzes: In order to help you to prepare for lecture exams, I strongly suggest that you complete the End of the Chapter Reviews in your textbook and Self-Quizzes in the Basic Review Section (Self-Quiz, Fill-In-The-Blank, and Matching) of the Companion Web Site. Refer to the handout on how to access the Companion Web Site. Some of these questions and diagrams will show up on the exams.

 Exams: Exams will consist of a combination of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, and labeling figures from the textbook, lecture, and web site.

 Grades: At the end of the semester, grades from lecture and laboratory exams, quizzes, and  practicals will be combined and final grades assigned according to the following scale: 90-100% = A, 80-89% = B, 70-79% = C, 60-69% = D, and less than 60% = F. No extra credit material will be given. I reserve the right to adjust the scale if I see fit.  A total of 850 points are possible:

            4 Lecture Exams @ 100 pts each                 400 pts.
            Final Cumulative Exam                                  100 pts.
            5 Laboratory Practicals @ 60 pts. each       300 pts.
            5 Laboratory Quizzes @ 10 pts. each             50 pts.

 Cheating: Have respect for yourself and your fellow students and do not cheat. Cheating will not be tolerated and will be dealt with according to university regulations: punishment ranges from a report of academic misconduct in your record up to expulsion.

 Make-up policy: There will be no make-up exams. It is very important that you do not miss exams. If you miss an exam and you have a valid excuse, then your final cumulative exam will count double the normal amount of points. A valid excuse consists of an approved university excuse for missing the exam (e.g., illness with a physicians note; death in the family; ect.) as soon as possible for this provision. If you miss more than one exam and do not have an approved university excuse for missing the exam, then you will get a 0 for that exam

 

Study Tips: Most students find anatomy to be a very challenging subject. In order to do well in this course, you must make a serious commitment to practice good study techniques. Study habits that were sufficient in high school will not be sufficient for college level courses. It may help to remind yourself why you are taking this course and imagine yourself in your chosen profession. Here are some study suggestions that will help you to do well in this course.

 

If you practice at least the first three study tips then you should do well in this class.

 

***1 – Read the chapter before class. This way you are already familiar with the material and hearing it again in lecture reinforces your understanding and facilitates note-taking.

***2 - Anatomy is a very visual subject; therefore, you should study the figures in the text. Cover the labels on the figures and be sure that you can identify the structures. The plates at the end of your laboratory manual are particularly well laid out for this self-testing practice. The figures will help you to prepare for the lecture exams, which often require labeling and or drawing structures.

***3 – Complete the self-quizzes on the Companion Web Site. You should also do the labeling quiz under the Advanced review. Some of these will show up on the exam.

4 – Take organized notes during class. Outline formats are organized and easy to refer back to.

5 – Many students find that rewriting their lecture notes helps them to understand the material.

6 – If you learn the Latin and Greek word roots, then you will be able deduce the meaning of most anatomical terminology (i.e. osteo means bone; neuro means nerve; ect.).

7 – On average, you should devote 2-3 hours of study time per 1 hour of lecture.

8 - Use your text to study and bring it to lab, it has the same figures as your lab manual and they are in color. It is naďve to think that you can learn anatomy from class notes alone.

9 – Answer the Review questions at the end of the chapter. These will also show up on the exam

If the previous owner of the book did not activate the ID and Password then it should be valid. You can purchase an activation ID and Password on the Website, at which time you can register as described above.
 

5 – If you have already registered, then Login using your self-chosen ID and Password and select the “Log-in” button.
 

6 – Select a Chapter by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the box showing “1: An Introduction to Anatomy”, then selecting the desired chapter and selecting “Begin”.
 

7 – Select Basic Review. To the left under the Chapter number you will see a table of contents listed. Your homework is to complete all 3 Basic Review sections. Select “Basic review” and to the right you will have 3 choices: Self Quiz, Fill-In-The-Blank, and Matching. To begin, select a review type, see instructions for each type below.
 

8 – Select “Self-Quiz.” Click on the dot next to the correct answer until all questions have been answered. If necessary, use the “hint” as described in step 13 and your textbook. After you have answered all of the questions select the “Submit for Grade” button and go to Step 11.
 

9 – Select “Fill-In-The-Blank.” Enter your answer in the white box indicated in the question. Your answer must be spelled correctly and be grammatically correct (capitalize if at the beginning of a sentence). Read the question very carefully, your answer must be precise for the computer to recognize a correct answer. If necessary, use the “hint” as described in step 13.  After you have answered all of the questions select the “Submit for Grade” button and go to Step 11.
 

10 – Select “Matching.” Enter your answer by using the pull down boxes to select the letter corresponding to the correct answer on the right side that matches the statement on the left side. A letter is only used once.
 

11 – Select submit for grade. Select the “Submit for Grade” button. Submitting for a grade does NOT send an email of anything to anyone. You will then get a histogram showing the number of incorrect, correct, and unanswered questions. Following this, there will be a list showing the question number, status of answer, the question, your answer and the correct answer if your answer was incorrect on the Self-Quiz and Matching reviews. If you are not satisfied with your grade, then you may retake the review by selecting the “Back” button on your web browser. NOTE: Selecting the “Back Button” keeps your answers for the Fill-In-The-Blank and Matching reviews so that you only have to change the incorrect answers but does not keep your answers for the Self-Quiz, which you must re-enter. Selecting “Basic Review” does not keep any of your answers selected, so you must reselect or re-enter all of your answers again. You may retake the review as many times as you want until you answer the questions correctly.
 

12 – Hints. If you need help, select the “Hint” button and a hint will be presented in window box, to close the hint box select “Close window” at the lower right hand side of the window box. Your textbook may be helpful in answering questions.
 

13 – It is recommended that you complete the “Labeling” review under “Advanced Review.” The labeling review may show up on a lecture exam, as well as questions under each review type. You are strongly encouraged, but not required, to complete the “Advanced Review” as a good review before an exam to assist in your studying.
 

14 – Log off when you have completed the reviews by closing the browser, select the x in the upper right hand corner of the web box.
 

15 – Do not send the results to me or your TA, these study sessions are not graded.

The back of your lab manual, as well as your textbook, has excellent color figures of many of the models and specimens used in the lab. You may want to bring your text as well as your lab manual to the laboratory. The color plates of the models and specimens in your lab manual makes a great study guide when not in the lab.


 

LABORATORY GUIDELINES FOR BIO 121 HUMAN ANATOMY

 

1. There will be NO smoking, eating, or drinking in the laboratory at any time.

2. No persons not currently enrolled in human anatomy are permitted in the laboratory.

3. Report any injuries to the TA at once. Note the locations of the eyewash and first aid kit.

4. Most of the labs involve studying preserved organs and/or preserved pre-dissected cats. You MUST wear gloves when handling these specimens. Wash your hands thoroughly after studying the specimens before handling the human models.

5. Lab coats are recommended when handling preserved specimens. New lab coats may be purchased at the URI Bookstore. Used lab coats may be checked out from the anatomy lab, see your TA about this.

6. You will be working in groups of two. Be prepared for lab by reading the chapter and noting the structures that you are responsible for (see handouts). Do NOT fall behind, there is a lot of material to cover and if you fall behind you will have a hard time trying to catch up.

7. Labs will begin with a short lecture from your TA on the material to be studied for that session. Use the handouts, lab manual, and text to identify the required structures on the models and specimens placed out. Any model or specimen containing that particular structure is fair game; so make sure you can identify the structure on any model or specimen. After identifying the structures, go through them again but this time take turns quizzing your partner by asking him/her what a specific structure is, what its general function is, and other questions that may show up on the lab practical. Do this repeatedly, until you both can readily identify the structures. Do NOT leave lab early, this time is yours alone to study the material. You will not have the opportunity to study the models with as much freedom again before the practical. *** This is very important if you want to do well in this lab.

8. Blunt probes ONLY are to be used when pointing out structures on models and specimens. Under NO circumstances are pens to be used in the laboratory. Pencils may be used to take notes and for exams, but please do not use them to point out structures on the models. You do not want to miss a practical question due to pen or pencils marks on the model.

9. Under NO circumstances, are models or specimens to leave the laboratory.

10. Wash your hands before leaving the building.

11. Students in the last lab of the day must put their chairs on top of the table at the end of lab.

12. Make sure that your table is clean at the end of the lab session.

13. Quizzes (10 pts each) will be given in the lab period prior to a practical. Seven questions will be from the lab material and three questions will be from your TA’s lecture material for that practical.

14. Practicals (60 ps each) will consist of 30 stations containing 2 questions about the model or specimen at that station. One review session will be held prior to each practical. This is why you should study as much as you can in your lab session, with 200 fellow students reviewing at once, you may not have the opportunity to go over everything. There is a practical every 3-4 weeks, so thoroughly studying the material in your lab session is an excellent review for each practical and results in less “cramming” prior to the test. Use the color plates of the models and specimens in your lab manual when not in the lab to study for the practical. **** These are very important if you want to do well in the lab.

15. If you missed a lab session or wish to have additional time studying the material, you may ask the TA of another laboratory section if you may attend their lab. This is entirely up to the discretion of the TA of that session and you MUST allow students who are enrolled in that lab section access to the models or specimens that you may be studying when requested.
