Class Rules, Procedures, and Expectations

Required materials

	1 box colored pencils (Label it with your name and will be left in class)
	1 pair cleaning gloves with your name on it placed inside a gallon ziplock bag with your name on it - dissections is a must in the class (Choose a size that fits you)

Class Rules:

Course Description:

This course will enable students to develop a basic understanding of the normal structure and functioning of the human body. Students will start by studying cell tissues and membranes then study the structure and functions of each of the organ systems, which include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, urinary, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, reproductive, sensory, digestive, and endocrine systems.

This course contains vital information for everyone to make sound decisions regarding their own personal health. Students will also acquire team building, problem solving, communication and critical thinking skills through the group work and the assignments given.

Course Outcomes:

At the end of the year, students will be able to:

	Define anatomical and physiological terms of the human body
	Identify body systems and related structures of the human body
	Analyze the effects of abnormal functions on body systems on the body as a whole

Assessments:

You will be required to participate in all activities in this course.

This includes discussions, group work, and lab activities. PLEASE BE ADVISED that you are expected to participate in the dissections of animal organs and specimens. All activities are provided to give you the most authentic and best possible learning experience. To defray the cost of the lab materials, a $10.00 lab fee is required.
