Course Description: Basic concepts in human physiology will be described. An emphasis will be placed on the organ systems responsible for life processes.

Course Web Site: www.ux1.eiu.edu/~gabulla Note: the “l” in “ux1” is the number 1

Desired Learner Outcomes/Objectives:

1. Students will gain an understanding of the basic principles of human physiology.

2. Students will acquire knowledge of basic themes of organs and organ systems.

3. Students will gain an understanding of cellular processes.

Note- This course does not count toward the Biological Sciences major or minor.

Evaluation/Measurement/Assessment of Learner Outcomes:

Exam I- ............................................................................................................. 100pts

Exam 2.............................................................................................................. 100pts

Exam 3-............................................................................................................. 100pts

Exam 4- ............................................................................................................ 200pts

Laboratory Report .......................................................................................... 30pts

Homework ........................................................................................................ 120pts

Lab practicals (6 total).................................................................................... 50pts

Total possible points............................................................................................. 700 pts

Exams- Four exams will be administered during the semester. Exams 1-3 will be hourly and be worth 100 pts. each. Only the final will be cumulative and will be worth 200 pts. (for a total of 500 pts.). All exams will be based on the lectures, unless you are told otherwise. Lowest practicum grade will be disregarded.

Grading Policy: Grades are derived from an accumulated score of 100 percentage points:

A = 90 to 100 %, B = 80 to 89%, C = 70 to 79%, D = 60 to 69%, and F = less than 60%.

Academic Integrity: Students are expected to adhere to University policies regarding academic honesty. Cheating, plagiarism, lying, or falsifying of data will result in a zero for the assignment, quiz or exam. Students will also be reported to the university Judicial Affair Board, as well as possibly receive an “F” for the course and dismissal from the university.

Policy Statement on Examinations: Exam times are indicated on the course schedule. Exams missed because of documented illness may be made up.

Disability Policy: To request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact me so that we can discuss the accommodations you might need in class.

In-Class Activities: These include attendance, lab cleanliness, lab observations, and activities assigned during class time.

• Attendance Policy: Laboratory attendance is mandatory. Laboratory material is often living and not available at other times. Students are expected to be punctual. The use of cellular phones is not allowed in class or during exams.
• Lab Cleanliness: You must clean up after each experiment and be careful not to leave a mess around your lab area or shared areas of the lab.
• Lab Observations and Activities: All labs have activities and experiments you will be expected to perform and carefully observe.

Laboratory Reports and Homework Assignments: You will prepare laboratory reports at the conclusion of the experiments. Laboratory reports and assignments will be due at the beginning of the next lab period (unless indicated otherwise in class). Guidelines for preparing the lab reports and specific due dates will be provided during the semester. Lab reports and assignments must be handed in on the due date to be considered for full credit. If the lab report or homework assignment is handed in late, it will be considered for a reduced grade, i.e., if the report is late by one day (handed in Fri.), it will be considered for the highest grade of B, if handed in Monday by 4 PM, it will be considered for the highest grade of C.
