Course Description (NCTC Catalog):

Anatomy and Physiology I is the first part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses.

Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis.

Course Prerequisite(s):

Required or Recommended Course Materials:

  • Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, 11th ed., Martini ISBN 9780134396026
  • Access code for Mastering A&P-must be compatible with CANVAS

 

RECOMMENDED

  • Gloves for dissections-gloves will not be provided for students in the lab; students must bring their own gloves if they wish to wear gloves during dissections; students will be required to participate in dissections.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

 

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unaut horized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member.

Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examinatio n missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instr uctor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instru ctor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course' s objectives.           Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)

Last day to withdraw from a course with a " W" is        April 4, 2019    _


 

 
 

DISABILITY SERVICES (Office for Students with Disabilities)

 

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides support services for students with disabilities, students enrolled in technical areas of study, and students who are classified as special populations (i.e. single parents).

Support services for students with disabilities might include appropriate and reasonable accommodations, or they may be in the form of personal counseling, academic counseling, career counseling, etc. Furthermore, OSD Counselors work with students to encourage self­ advocacy and promote empowerment. The Counselors also provides resource information, disability-related information, and adaptive technology for students who qualify.

If you feel you have needs for services that the institution provides, please reach out to either Wayne Smith (940) 498-6207 or Yvonne Sandman (940) 668-3300.  Alternative students may stop by Room 170 in Corinth or Room 111in Gainesville.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Students are expected to follow all rules and regulations found in the student handbook and published online.

 

 
 


ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Scholastic dishonesty shall include, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, academic falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, academic dishonesty facilitation and collusion. Faculty members may document and bring charges against a student who is engaged in or is suspected to be engaged in academic dishonesty. See Student Handbook, "Stu dent Rights & Responsibilities: Student Conduct ([FLB(LOCAL)]".

 

Consequences for academic dishonesty may include:

  1. The student will receive a failing grade of "O" on the assignment. If the assignment is within a group in which the lowest assignment is dropped, the assignment will not be able to count as a dropped score. It will count as part ofthe grade.
  2. A "Scholastic Dishonesty Report Form" will be submitted regarding the incident
  3. Student may be dropped from the course with a failing grade (letter grade of "F" )
