Course

BIOL-2402-009 Anatomy and Physiology II

Prerequisites

Prerequisite: BIOL 2401

Course Description

Anatomy and Physiology II is the second part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive (including nutrition), urinary (including fluid and electrolyte balance) and reproductive (including human development and genetics). Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.

Students Rights and Responsibilities

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Log in using the AC Connect Portal

In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .

If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".

Expected Student Behavior

AVOID ANY APPEARANCE OF CHEATING. The appearance of cheating may result in a grade of zero for the exam or quiz and possibly a failing grade for the course. Hats and earphones are not to be worn during tests. Cell phones are not allowed during exams. Cell phones should be set to silent during lecture and labs, and texting during lecture is not allowed. If you must take an important call or have an emergency text you must reply to, please inform the instructor before class begins. There will be no eating, drinking or chewing gum in the lab during dissections or any other time the instructor deems it a safety hazard. Any disruptive behavior may lead to removal from the lab or lecture.


The student will be expected to follow the safety rules and to notify the instructor immediately if any accident occurs. While the risk is minimized as much as possible, there is the potential for contact with electrical appliances, sharp instruments, chemicals, and organic materials, some of which may be biohazardous. Any student deemed to be jeopardizing the safety of others will be asked to leave the lab immediately and possibly permanently. Other safety rules are found in the Laboratory Manual and will be covered on the first day of class. Proper attire is required to participate in lab, including gloves, goggles and lab coat or apron. Improper attire may result in removal from the lab and a zero for any participation or exam grade given that day.

Grading Criteria

Grading
100-89.5% = A
89.49-79.5% = B
79.49-69.5% = C
69.49-59.5% = D
59.49% or below = F
 

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS/EXAMINATIONS: Each week, the student will have 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of laboratory. The lecture accounts for 50% of the final grade, laboratory section accounts for 25% of the final grade and a comprehensive final exam will account forl 25% of the overall grade.

Lecture exams: Lecture exams, case studies, homeworks, and quizzes make up 55% of the total grade for the semester. There will be 6 exams, covering both lecture and reading material. Each exam will be worth 100 points, the lowest exam grade will be dropped. This means each exam will be worth 9% of your overall grade for a combined 45%. Quizzes will be given once or twice a week at the beginning of class. You will have 5 minutes to complete each quiz. Late arrivals to class may miss the quiz and earn a zero for the quiz that day. The average of your 10 highest quiz grades will be equal to 10% of your overall grade. Note: the remaining class time will be lecture on the next unit of material. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS OR QUIZZES. A missed exam becomes a zero or the dropped grade, and a missed quiz becomes a zero.

Laboratory: 25% of the total grade for the semester. Lab score will be determined by laboratory quizzes
and 3 lab practicals worth 17.5% of your overall grade. The 10 highest quiz scores will be averaged and equal to a lab practical grade. The average of your 10 highest quizzes will be worth 7.5% as well for a combined 25%. Late arrivals to class may miss the quiz and earn a zero for the quiz that day. One missed practical may be made up at the instructors discretion. If the instructor deems the reasons for the missed practical permit a make up, the make up practical will be given at a time convenient to the instructor and will be different in style, but not content, from the original (May be Oral, Essay, etc).
 
Final Exam: 20% of the total grade for the semester. Comprehensive final exam, 2 hours, given during finals week which will be given in the lecture room at the regular lecture start time. Any student who arrives to the final after another student has already completed the final exam will not be allowed to take the exam and will receive a grade of zero.

 

TESTING:  Science Testing Center (STC)

All tests, excluding take-home exams and final exams, will be taken in the STC during days scheduled by the teacher within normal STC hours.  Tests will be taken outside of class lecture time. Any lecture exam taken during class time (lab or lecture) will lose 10 points. Please note:  No test may be started less than one and a half hours before the STC closes. You must present an Amarillo College student ID every time you take a test. The Science Testing Center staff will retain your ID while you take your test and will return it to you when you turn in your test. No appointments are necessary.

STC hours: 9am-10pm Mon-Fri (Last exam 8:30)

9am-7:30pm Sat (Last exam 5:00)

Closed Sunday

Warren Hall 112

MANDATORY TUTORING:  Student Tutoring and Success Center (STSC)

    In an effort to increase retention in Biology courses, any student who scores below a 70 on any exam (excluding the Final Exam week) must complete a 1 hour mandatory tutoring session in the Student Tutoring and Success Center or with his/her instructor before taking the next exam.

    Before getting mandatory tutoring, students must first make a appointment with the SEC by either calling or visiting. The STSC will do its best to accommodate a student’s schedule within the STSC hours of operation. This may require plenty of advanced notice by the student as time slots fill quickly. Upon arrival in the STSC, students must inform STSC staff that they are there for mandatory tutoring.

    Mandatory tutoring will not require remediation over a failed test.

 

Mon-Thur : 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Fri: 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Sat : 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m

Warren Hall 110

        345-5536

Withdrawal Process

Students who wish to withdraw from a class must consult with their instructor first. Students can either communicate via email or meet face-to-face with their instructor to begin the withdrawal process. If the instructor and the student both agree that withdrawal is the appropriate course of action, then the instructor will initiate a withdrawal case for the student in the Retention Alert System (AC Connect).

Dropping courses before you reach the 60% point of the semester could result in you having to pay back some of your financial aid funds. To determine this date for you specific classes login to AC Connect, click Self Service menu, click My Academic Profile, click My Important Course Section Dates. 

Students will receive confirmation that their withdrawal request has been completed. The Registrar’s Office will process the withdrawal and notify both the student and instructor via AC email.

 

Attendance

Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement.  It is therefore the responsibility of the student to attend class. Absences result in zeros for any missed quizzes, exams, presentations or participation grades. If you stop attending class and do not officially drop the course, you will receive an “F” for the course. A grade of “W” will be given for student-initiated drops or withdrawals. Texas law now mandates that students may only drop or withdraw 6 times in their entire college careers, excluding drops prior to the census date.
