COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is the second half of a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function of the human body, (endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive systems), and use of A & P terminology and concepts. This course will also develop thinking, reading, and writing skills and problem solving abilities for students entering health or medically-related fields.
Prerequisites: "C" or higher in ZOOL 141 and ZOOL 141L.
Corequisite: ZOOL 142L

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Students who pass this course should be able to:
1. learn the required anatomical structures and use the terminology of the listed systems*
2. explain the physiology both gross and cellular of the listed systems*
3. describe the cause and effect relationship between the systems*
4. describe the functional relationship between the listed systems*
5. discuss the negative and positive feedback process in the listed systems*
6. identify the basic embryology of the listed systems*
7. discuss the maturation and aging processes involving these systems*
8. discuss and answer questions correctly to demonstrate critical thinking by:

a. apply A & P terms, concepts, and knowledge in appropriate situations
b. analyze situations clearly and precisely
c. synthesize information to distinguish relevant from irrelevant data
d. clarify key concepts and complex ideas effectively
e. evaluate and reason carefully from clearly stated premises
f. use acceptable language to state ideas clearly

9. solve problems in small groups (2-4) or individually by diagnosing clinical disease situations, answering questions about current science research articles, and writing a computer generated self assessment.

*The systems that will be studied include: endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive.

OFFICE VISITS:
Please feel free to come in and see me during the semester regarding your progress in the course at office hours or by appointment.

GRADES:

Seventy-five percent (75%) of the final grade will be determined by chapter quizzes and the final comprehensive exam. All exams will consist of multiple-choice questions, matching, and identification short answer and will be weighted equally. Questions will come from the text, lecture, assignments, vocabulary lists, and hand-outs. Make up exams may consist of essay questions.

Ten percent (10%) of the final grade will be for work and participation to include attendance, in-class group discussions and activities; research and written answers to clinical situations and newspaper or magazine articles handed out in class, class critiques, and chapter written work. Two excused absences will allow the late assignment to be accepted. All other late assignments will not be accepted. More than four absences will decrease your participation percentage by 1% per each absence over four. Ten absences will result in a grade of "F".

Ten percent (10%) of the final grade will be for a group project to include a lecture presentation, written questions,, and a care plan of a clinical problem.

Five percent (5%) of the final grade will be determined by a computer generated self-assessment.

Your  final grade is based on:PercentageGrading Scale
Test & Exam Score Average75% A = 90 - 100%
Class Work and Paricipation10%B = 80 - 89%
Group Presentation & Report10%C = 65 - 79% 
Self-Assessment5%D = 51 - 64% 
Total100%F = 0 - 50%

TEST QUESTIONS:
Seventy-five percent (75%) of your grade are taken from the material in the book, lecture material, class assignments. Therefore, regular attendance is normally required to attain a good grade. Since slides, powerpoint presentations, overheads, videos, and CD's are used in lecture and note taking is often difficult in class, audio taping of lecture is allowed. A group clinical project and presentation is also included in your test average.

Prohibited classroom activities include any disruptive behavior, late arrival or early exit, eating or drinking in class, cheating, bringing children to class, videotaping, and unregistered audit of lecture. Cheating results is an automatic zero for the test and is cause for immediate disciplinary action.

WITHDRAWALS and INCOMPLETES:
Remember that the final date for withdrawal from the course is ______________. A withdrawal ("W") grade after _______________, requires the instructor's signature and is given only in cases of extreme or unusual circumstances: 1) a certified medical reason or 2) a death in the immediate family.

An incomplete ("I") grade will be given only to students who are achieving passing grades and are very close to completing the course. The request form needs to be presented prior to the last day of instruction. In addition, the student must have a very good reason for not being able to complete all the work on time, such as those listed under withdrawal policy.

INSTRUCTION:
The method of instruction is by lecture, powerpoint presentations, video, CD's, Socratic questioning, group discussion, research, and writing. Review the course competencies and you will see such words as "explain, describe, discuss, and relate". In order to address these objectives you need to talk and write. In small groups and in the class, you will be discussing specific problem issues addressed in clinical situations and current science articles and then writing a short response explaining the problem or answering specific questions. The text, previous lecture material, and experience act as resources. The written response needs to be turned in at the end of class to get credit. These discussions and written work comprise 10 percent of your final grade.

STUDENT CONDUCT and ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
As members of the academic community students are expected to promote an atmosphere of honesty and learning, respect for others, and appropriate classroom behavior to maintain the academic integrity essential to the educational process.  "Academic dishonesty cannot be condoned by the University.  Such dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism which violate the Student Conduct Code and may result in expulsion from the University." (Kauai Community College Catalog)

STUDY SKILLS & ADVISING:
Zoology 142 is a very academically demanding course that requires highly developed study skills. Generally, 6 hours of study time/week are required to obtain a passing grade of "C" or "D". Since memory coding and retrieval are critical to success, students are usually advised to organize, summarize, and rewrite the information contained in the text (and lecture) into a set of coherent notes which can be used for review.

In addition (but not as a substitution), some students choose to use a study guide. The lab textbook has a study guide included in the back. Students who perform poorly on tests("D" or "F") should seek academic advising from the instructor first who can then suggest other resources. If a student has a complaint or concern regarding the class or teaching, that person needs to make an appointment and talk with the instructor to resolve the problem.

If you have a disability and have not voluntarily disclosed the nature of your disability and the support that you need, you are invited to contact the Student Services Office, 245-8313 or 245-8212 as soon as possible.  This is to ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
