STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES : Lenoir-Rhyne Human Anatomy and Physiology seeks to attain the goals set for by the HAPS(Human Anatomy & Physiology Society)  Curriculum & Instruction Committee.

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:

  1. Develop a vocabulary of appropriate terminology to effectively communicate information related to anatomy and physiology.

 

  1. Recognize the anatomical structures and explain the physiological functions of body systems.

 

  1. Recognize and explain the principle of homeostasis and the use of feedback loops to control physiological systems in the human body.

 

  1. Use anatomical knowledge to predict physiological consequences, and use knowledge of function to predict the features of anatomical structures.

 

  1. Recognize and explain the interrelationships within and between anatomical and physiological systems of the human body.

 

  1.  Synthesize ideas to make a connection between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and real-world situations, including healthy lifestyle decisions and homeostatic imbalances.

 

  1. Demonstrate laboratory procedures used to examine anatomical structures and evaluate physiological functions of each organ system.

 

  1. Interpret graphs of anatomical and physiological data.

 

 

EVALUATION/GRADING

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Lab Attendance is MANDATORY.  If you cannot attend your regularly scheduled lab time please attend an alternate lab section.  All lab section times are posted on the lab room door and on my.lr.  Due to space restrictions you must obtain permission IN ADVANCE from both your current lab instructor AND the Instructor of the section you wish to attend.  A Quiz or Test is given each lab period.  Absence without prior permission will result in a zero for that lab quiz.                                                                                                                                 

 

Students are expected to attend classes and laboratories as specified by the instructor, who will state his/her attendance policy in writing at the beginning of the semester. No 'allowed' number of absences is automatically granted to a student in any course. Ordinarily, a student will not receive credit if he/she misses more than 25% of the scheduled class meetings unless extenuating circumstances exist. (Lenoir-Rhyne University General Catalog).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY:

 

THE LENOIR-RHYNE STUDENT HONOR COMMITMENT

AND STATEMENT OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

 

A fundamental purpose of a liberal education is its attempt to cultivate in the student a sense of honor and high principles pertaining especially to academics, but extending to all areas of life. An inherent feature of Lenoir-Rhyne is its commitment to an atmosphere of integrity and ethical conduct. As a student of Lenoir-Rhyne, I accept as my personal responsibility the vigorous maintenance of honesty, truth, fairness, civility, and concern for others.

 

My devotion to integrity demands that I will not cheat in academic work and that I adhere to the established and required community code of conduct. I accept the responsibility for upholding the established standards against those who would violate them. And I understand and accept the consequences of infracting upon or assisting others in infracting upon this code. In addition to and beyond the requirements of any code of law, I affirm my own commitment to personal honor and integrity in all matters large and small. Even though the ideal of honor is an abstract one, by implementing this ideal, I join the men and women of Lenoir-Rhyne in making the concept of honor a reality.
