COURSE DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE This course extends the study of human anatomy and physiology begun in BIOL171. As in BIOL171, an integrated and systemic approach will be taken to provide the student with the background concepts to understand pathophysiology. The circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems will be covered.

Course Structure: Lectures, Laboratory sessions and tutorials will be used to enhance the students understanding of the subject matter. Outlines of class lecture notes will be available on the course Blackboard website. Students are expected to consult the course Blackboard website on a regular basis for class notes and other information related to the course. Labs and tutorials are an important part of the course. ONLY STUDENTS WHO HAVE FULLY COMPLETED THE PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT FOR A GIVEN LAB WILL BE ADMITTED TO THAT LAB SESSION. ONLY STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE PRE-TUTORIAL WORKSHEET PRIOR TO THEIR TUTORIAL WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT TUTORIAL SESSION FOR CREDIT. Both pre-Lab and pre-tutorial worksheets will be considered complete only if judged so by the facilitator. Students who have not completed the worksheet prior to the beginning of the tutorial and students who arrive late for a tutorial may remain in the classroom for the duration of the tutorial but they must sit in the audit section at the rear of the class. Students in the audit section are not permitted to ask or answer any questions during the tutorial and will not receive credit for that tutorial. To earn credit for a tutorial, students must pass the tutorial quiz. Tutorial quizzes are pass/fail tests. Students who pass the quiz get credit for that tutorial. Students who do not pass the quiz do not get credit. . NO PART MARKS ARE GIVEN FOR FAILED TUTORIAL TESTS. V. EVALUATION METHOD Type of Assignment tutorial quizzes term exam 1 term exam 2 Laboratory anatomy exam Laboratory physiology exam comprehensive final exam Date each tutorial week 5 week 10 week 14 exam period exam period Weighting 10% 15% 15% 10% 10% 40% Total 100%

A minimum overall grade of C (60%) is required to gain credit in this course. It is the students responsibility to be aware of the scheduling of examinations and Lab tests. Tests and examinations may consist of short answers, fill-in-the-blanks, matching, multiple choice questions, diagrams, and/or any combination of the above formats. All material relating to the course objectives, whether covered in lectures, tutorials, Laboratories or recommended readings, remains the responsibility of the student. Exam times will be announced in class and posted on the Bioscience bulletin board outside the Science Lab (H427). Students who arrive late for an exam may be refused admission. For those who are admitted late, no time extension will be given. It is the student's responsibility to consult the Bioscience bulletin board or Blackboard course website interim grades. Grades will NOT be given over the telephone. Examinations and tests must be written at scheduled times. Rewrites are NOT permitted.

If a student fails to write a term examination because of illness or other legitimate cause, the professor must be notified of the student's absence prior to the examination. If medical documentation for an illness is submitted to the students program co-ordinator within five school days of the date of the writing of the examination, the student will be allowed to write a special comprehensive final exam worth 55% of their final course grade. If a student misses both term tests they will receive a mark of zero on the second missed test. The special comprehensive final exam will be longer than the regular final and must be written in the test centre at the same time as the regular final exam. If a student misses the Laboratory anatomy test (bellringer) for a legitimate reason, an alternative practical exam that may or may not include a bellringer component will be administered at a time scheduled by the professor. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of all Laboratory and tutorial sessions. Writing skills are essential in your chosen profession, and you are expected to maintain a university level of proficiency in this area. Knowledge of basic human anatomy and physiology, and competence in anatomical and physiological vocabulary, spelling and terminology is also expected. VI.
