Prerequisite To take this course online, you will need experience with computers working with both multimedia material and the Internet. You will need to have good organizational skills and time management skills. You will need to be able to communicate with your class within Blackboard a minimum of twice a week. 
For the lab, you will need to be able to apply the work you do in two-dimensional interactive computer models to 3 dimensional models. You will need to come to KCC's campus twice for Exams at the date and time given on the schedule. All of this is in addition to the normal course prerequisites.  Technology does not always work as we planned.  Make certain you have access to at least one other computer that can work on the internet.  Failure of your home computer to work will not excuse you from the assignment/exam due dates. 
Course prerequisites: 
Prerequisites: Compass reading score of 70, or "C" in STSK 98 or STSK 99; and a "C" or better in one year of high school biology, or BIOL 99, or other college-level biology. This course is a lecture and laboratory course which provides a detailed study of all human body systems. The primary emphasis is on anatomic structures with a fundamental understanding of physiology. It is strongly recommended that the student have successfully completed one year of high school chemistry or CHEM 100 prior to enrollment.

Curriculum Statement: This course will prepare you for health related careers
Description This anatomy course will prepare the typical learner for the medical courses that will follow.  Rigorous in nature, this course will require a tremendous amount of memorization and comprehensive retention.  For the student on-line, the lab work is on the same schedule as the theory.  You MUST use the lab guide along with your text to study and learn the structures from each unit's Course Objectives.  The models that appear in the lab guide is similar to the ones the students in the F2F(Face to Face) class will be using and ALL anatomy students will see and touch during the lab midterm and the lab final.

Course Policies/Procedures 

 

Academic Policies:  Dropping: If you wish to drop this course you may do so before the course starts for a full refund.  If you drop the course before 1/10 of the course has been completed (between the first and second session), you may get a refund minus a $5 drop fee.  It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw before the deadline.   
"I" Grades:  Incomplete ("I") is only given for the most extenuating circumstances. All "I" grades should be completed within two weeks of the end of the term the course was taken. 
Attendance: 

Lecture: The student is expected to attend all theory sessions and to take all theory exams and quizzes at the scheduled time and place.

Lab: The student is expected to attend all scheduled lab sessions listed on the lab schedule, complete the scheduled lab activities,  complete the lab quizzes, complete the midterm and final AT THE SCHEDULED TIME and PLACE.

When repeated or extended absences reach levels where successful completion of the course is jeopardized, an Excessive Absence Report will be submitted to the Academic Advising Staff.  Continued absenteeism may lead to administrative withdrawl.
Please note that "attendance" in an on-line course (other than the lab midsemester and final mentioned above) is measured by work submitted.  Students are expected to submit all assignments, including class participation, and take all quizzes according to the schedule submitted or make other arrangements in advance of the scheduled time. Failure to do so may result in academic penalty or withdrawal from the class. Missing a scheduled activity, for any reason, including illness or late registration, or computer failure in no way relieves the student of the responsibility for completing all work for credit in the course to the satisfaction of the instructor according to the approved schedule. The student is responsible for taking tests at the approved time and place, and for submitting assignments on time. Failure to meet the online time for tests will result in a penalty point per question per minute.  Most students selecting this form of instruction have busy schedules with many unexpected interruptions. PLAN AHEAD. WORK AHEAD. Allow yourself time on your schedule for problems. YOU MAY submit activities BEFORE they are due. If you anticipate any potential problems, contact your instructor ASAP and discuss those concerns.
Academic Integrity:  The Kellogg Community College policy on Academic Integrity is spelled out in the student handbook.  If it is suspected you are cheating, fabricating, facilitating academic dishonesty, or plagiarizing, there  may be serious consequences.  The incident will be documented, may be reported to the academic chair and disciplinary actions will be taken according to the KCC Student Handbook 

Disclaimer:

 Information contained in this syllabus was, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete when distributed for use at the beginning of the semester. However, this syllabus should not be considered a contract between Kellogg Community College and any student, nor between any student and the instructor. The instructor reserves the right, acting within the policies and procedures of Kellogg Community College, to make changes in course content or instructional techniques without notice or obligation.
Make-up
Policy
  1. Any scheduled LECTURE exam that is missed must be taken the day the student returns to theory. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor the day the scheduled exam is taken to make arrangements to take the make-up exam. (Make-up exams will be essay exams.) Failure to do so may result in NO MAKE-UP.
  2. Any scheduled LECTURE quiz that is missed may not be made up. During the course of the semester 5 unannounced bonus quizzes will be given.
  3.  Missed laboratory sessions must be completed within the week they are scheduled. Lack of Attendance to a lab session will result in a (0) for lab points that week.
  4. Lab mid-term and Final must be completed during the lab session in which the student is registered unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor.
Computer
Access at
KCC		 It is assumed that students enrolled in this course have at their disposal appropriate equipment and software to complete the course work and communicate with other students.  If there are problems with your equipment and/or software, it is possible to come the KCC's Campus and use the open computer lab in the LRC.  See KCC's web site for campus maps and lab times. 
on-line
Interactive
media		 The learning activities for the lab portion of this online course are accomplished by work with the lab manual and by interactive learning activities.  It is essential that you use the CD-ROM that is packaged with your text book AND that you have access to the APR CD that is packaged with your text.  You will find valuable learning activities in the CD.
on-line
Submitting
materials:		 Students Online will be expected to us e-mail attachments and the blackboard site for this class to submit materials. (Before you are registered for the course you may look at the class site using guest as the id and guest as the password.)
Classroom Management Policies
Cell phones must be on MUTE/VIBRATE during class time.  If you must take or return an emergency call, please sit by an exit door and go out in the hall to do so. 
all cell phones must be in your pack or pocket during any test. Please, DO NOT use your text phone during lecture.  It is distracting to your learning, those around you and to me.  I will deal with this by asking you to leave lecture.   Class participation is encouraged and it is expected that there be an atmosphere of respect in both the lecture and lab. " Side Bar" conversations may be important to you during lecture but PLEASE remember they distract and disturb students around you thus I would ask you to refrain from that.

 Tutoring:          Tutoring will be available this semester.  The dates, times and locations will be posted in the lecture hall and the anatomy lab.  That post will be available no later than the second week of classes.  Also please note there are anatomy models available in the LRC for your study usage.  Please take advantage of those models
