B. TEXT and SUPPORTIVE MATERIALS:

1. Saladin’s Human Anatomy & Physiology, 4th ed. (The 3rd and 5th editions are very
similar to the 4th)
2. BIOL 205 Lab Manual by Friar, Griffith, and Westerkamp available at Rankin

C. COURSE CONTENT & DESCRIPTION:

This course will provide you with the opportunity to study the human body beginning
with the cell and progress through tissues, organs and organ systems. The organ
systems to be studied are skeletal, muscular, integumentary, nervous, endocrine,
circulatory, respiratory, digestive, renal, and reproductive.
Course description: An integrated course in human anatomy and physiology
which emphasizes structure and function as they relate to clinical considerations. Basic
concepts of structure and function will be discussed at the cellular tissue and organ
system levels. Laboratory will utilize cadavers in anatomical studies. Designed for
students in allied health associate degree programs; and science education, medical
technology and sports medicine baccalaureate degree programs.
Prerequisites: Chem 114

D. COURSE OUTCOMES:

By the end of the semester, you will be able to:

1. define basic anatomical terms.
2. predict the relationship between structure (anatomy) and function
(physiology).
3. apply the concept of homeostasis within physiological systems.
4. distinguish the major anatomical structures of the organ systems.
5. predict the effect of changes in function of one organ system on the function
of another.
6. identify common organs and structures on gross and microscopic levels.

E. ADDITIONAL HELP:

1
1. REVIEWS: To enhance learning and retention of anatomy and physiology and to make
learning easier, we will have reviews weekly. I encourage all students to take
advantage of this additional help and instruction. It is for you, but it can't help you if
you do not participate. I will be posting brief reviews on FerrisConnect and at an agreed
upon day and time of the week there will be a weekly review

2. E-MAIL HELP: If you have questions, suggestions, comments, or personal problems

you want to discuss, email me at: westerc@ferris.edu. If I have not responded within
24 hours then the message likely did not make it through, resend. With the current use
of Gmail for student mail, you can contact me using Google Chat; my chat ID is
‘cmwesterkamp’.

3. OFFICE HOURS and personalized help are available daily. If you cannot make one of
my established office hours, request an appointment.

F. CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY:

There will be no formal attendance taken during lecture. However, exams, quizzes, and
assignments given in class (clicker) require your attendance to receive those points.
This course requires a large time commitment in order to receive a passing grade; know
that class attendance and class performance (grades) are positively correlated.

Showing up on time & being prepared is 90% of life. -Woody Allen

LAB: If you miss a lab, you must make it up during the same week by arranging to
attend another lab. If you have a special event, e.g. a field trip in another course or
other excused university event, PLAN AHEAD to attend another lab. (Call me
immediately if you miss a lab.)

1. You must get permission from me to attend another lab.

a. A lab that is missed and not made up by attending another lab will result in a
"zero" grade for that lab.

b. Missing more than one lab will result in an "I" for the course and you must take the
missed labs next semester. (Remember an "I" becomes an "F" if not removed by the
end of the following semester.)

G. TESTS and QUIZZES:

1. LECTURE EXAMS: There will be four lecture exams plus the final exam. Each lecture
exam will cover the previous lecture related material and be worth 100 points. The
Comprehensive final lecture exam will be 200 points. The questions on the final exam
will be approximately 50% from the last portion of the course and 50% cumulative.

2. Source of Questions: Questions will be taken from lecture notes, handouts, and
review questions. Note: Attendance is required to receive handouts, lecture notes,
study guides given during a lecture.

3. Types of questions: Each exam may include true/false, multiple choice, matching, fill-
in-blanks, definitions, short answers, essay questions, and/or diagrams. (NOTE: lecture
exam questions will NOT come from lab and vice versa.)

2
 (Anyone who misses a lecture exam must notify me in person, by phone, or email
as soon as possible and must arrange with me to take a make-up exam. If you are
unable to call, have someone contact me.)

Since persons who take exams late have additional time to prepare for the exam, to be
fair to the rest of the class, I will deduct 5% from the score for each day the exam is
delayed.

4. OTHER ASSIGNMENTS/CPS CLICKER: Using clickers is still new to me, but it is

something I hope to integrate into lecture and potentially lab. As of now I am planning
on in class points adding to 1 point per class period.

5. LAB QUIZZES: Each week there will be a quiz at the beginning of lab. This will
usually be over the material covered in the previous lab. If you miss a lab quiz, see me
at once and GET INTO ANOTHER LAB that week! A missed quiz becomes a zero. If you
miss more than one lab, a grade of "I" will be given and you must take that lab the next
semester. There will be a quiz at the end of some labs over that days lab.

Lab scores will make up 35% of your class grade. Lab can have a major effect on your
final class grade.

H. GRADING SYSTEM:
Grading Scale
A 93-100% B- 80-82.9% D+ 67-69.5%
A- 90-92.9% C+ 77-79.9% D 63-66.9%
B+ 87-89.9% C 73-76.9% D- 60-62.9%
B 83-86.9% C- 70-72.9% F Below 60%

This is a set scale and will NOT be changed. I do not give extra points to persons who
are ‘close’ to the next letter grade. Note: A B- is 80.0% if your final grade is 79.999%
then you have a C+.

I. COMMON COURTESIES:
Use of electronic devices during lecture is not necessary other than the clicker, but is
permissable. Any device that proves distracting to you or others will revoke this
privilege.
Food and beverages (water is okay) should NOT be consumed in lab. If anything occurs
during lecture or lab that interferes with your ability to concentrate or to learn, let me
know.
Academic dishonesty of any form will not be tolerated and will be forwarded to
the Office of Student Conduct.
