Course Description
Zoology 2020 (Human Anatomy & Physiology II) is the second of a two-semester sequence. This
course includes endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary and
reproductive systems. Emphasis is focused on the functional anatomy of the human body. Laboratory
activities complement the lecture material with appropriate balance between anatomy and
physiology. (The lab component of this class contains a $35 course fee)
Active and Engaged Learning
My goal is to engage you in learning Anatomy and Physiology and for it to be a positive component
of your undergraduate experience – not only as a stepping stone to a degree, but also to enrich your
everyday life. To accomplish this goal, the class meetings will be highly interactive and based on your
participation in discussions and activities that require you to think about real-world problems. If you
follow my guidelines, you will not only enjoy the course more but also increase your likelihood of
success in this course. You must take responsibility for your own learning, which means that you
will need to read and take notes before arriving to class – a change from what you may have
experienced in previous classes. The majority of our class meetings will be devoted to activities that
assume prior knowledge from reading our textbook, articles, or watching videos. To participate fully,
it is important that you carefully prepare before each class. This syllabus describes how to do this and
is a resource for the entire semester.Learning Objectives
Through active and interactive learning, using a variety of methods targeted to multiple learning
styles during class meetings, you will:
• develop skills to work in a team
• increase your understanding and application of the process of science
• be able to relate anatomy and physiology to other subjects
• apply your acquired knowledge to new situations
• communicate and reflect on your own learning
By the end of this course you will, using written and oral communication, demonstrate broad
understanding of the following:
• the major principles and key concepts, terms and relationships of biology
• how to organize, analyze, and interpret scientific data
• the importance of science for humans and everyday life
• make connections between anatomy and physiology as a science and contemporary issues
• the homeostatic processes that ensure our survival, the means by which cells communicate,
the application of gradients as a driving force in multiple physiological systems; and the
relationship between structure and function within the human body.
Learning anatomy and physiology might expose you to material that may make you feel
uncomfortable. Expect an open and direct discussion of all aspects of human anatomy and physiology
(for example: reproductive anatomy and physiology, evolution, and heredity) A respectful discourse
is expected from all those involved. If you feel that these types of discussions will be an issue and
hinder your learning, please discuss with me or your advisor to alter your schedule during the
drop/add period.
Resources
• Text Book: No specific textbook is required, only that you have one. The text I recommend and is

Assessment
The learning objectives and your performance will be assessed based on preparation before class
meetings, class and laboratory activities and participation, laboratory dissections and reports,
laboratory project participation and presentation, and unit exams.Assignment Weight % Grading Scale
A: 90% or above
Unit Exams and Final Exam 50%
B: 80% - 89%
Homework Quizzes 20% C: 70% - 79%
D: 60% - 69%
In Class Quizzes/Readiness 15%
F: > 60%
In Class Activities /Labs 15% A grade of “incomplete” or “I” may be awarded when a
student is unable to complete all required course work for
reasons beyond the student’s control. To be considered
Unit Exams and Final Exam (50% of your overall grade)
for a grade of “I” the student must be passing the course
A total of five-unit exams will be given this semester. at the time preceding the extenuating circumstances.
Each exam will be taken either at home online or in the
class (or a combination of both). You will be timed but
can have access to your notes. Exams will consist of multiple choice, true/false, short answer, essay, and
practical based questions. You are not allowed to help each other in any way on the exam. If this is done, all parties
involved will receive zeros for the exam in question; with a repeat offense earning an F in the course. Each
successive exam will be comprehensive in nature. No make-up exams will be given, but the final exam will
replace your lowest exam score.
The final exam will be comprehensive in nature. This may include multiple choice, short answer, essay,
matching, or labeling questions. You will have two opportunities to earn the full points for this exam. You will
take a comprehensive exam in the first week of the semester. For every 3 questions you answer correctly, you
will earn 1 point towards your final exam. You will take a similar exam during finals week. I will add both of
your scores to obtain your final exam score.
Homework Quizzes (20% of your overall grade)
For each chapter, you will be given a homework assignment. We will dedicate a finite amount of class time to
these assignments. Anything not done in class is expected to be completed at home. The homework will not
be turned in but you will be required to take a quiz through Moodle. I encourage you to have a completed
copy of the homework in front of you when you complete the quiz. Some homework question will be utilized
as readiness assignments.
In Class Quizzes/Readiness (15% of your overall grade)
Through the course of the semester, different assignments or activities will be assigned to be completed before
coming to the next class. Work will be checked at the beginning of class, any student completing the
assignment during class will not receive credit for the assignment. If you are going to miss class, you should
email the completed work to the instructor before class. If classed is missed for a school sponsored event these
assignments can be made up, otherwise any absence will result in the inability to make this work up.
In addition to readiness assignments, you will be given a quiz for each unit. The quiz will cover
material from the previous weeks work and potentially contain future unit material we have yet to cover in
class. You will take the quiz individually then in your group. Your final quiz score will be 60% from your
score, 40% from the groups score.
In Class Activities/Labs (15% of your overall grade)
During class (lecture and laboratory) you will work individually, together as pairs, or in your teams, to discuss
questions, solve problems, perform dissections, and perform other activities. It is important that you come
prepared to class to be able to fully participate. I expect you to complete class activities, some but not all workwill be collected. To receive full credit, you need to be present for the full duration of class, participate, and
submit anything that is to be collected.
How to succeed in ZOO 2020
• Attend both lecture and lab. Be on time and stay for the full duration.
• During the beginning of the course you will be assigned to learning teams. You will work in
these teams for the duration of the semester. It is essential for your own success to support one
another, and to come to lecture and lab well prepared to ensure high quality of discussions
and to actively craft your overall learning experience. Collaborate, share thoughts and
contribute to your team and the whole class. If you help each other, everyone will do better
including yourself!
• Be courteous and respectful of others. Turn off the sound on your mobile devices and put
them in your bag during lecture and laboratory. Using your devices for non-class related
activities will result in unnecessary disruption. Therefore, when we use mobile devices during
activities, you will want to restrict their use to the task at hand.
• Ask questions! Asking for clarification when something is unclear is an honest inquiry.
Asking questions helps to facilitate learning for both you and others in the class, and is an
essential part of doing science.
• Visit me during my office hours, or make an appointment, to discuss questions or concerns. I
am here to help you.
• Read all course e-mails. You are responsible for all information from those sources, as well as
anything that is announced in class.
• Outside of class, Northwest College offers great resources to increase your success. Do not
hesitate to use them, they are there to help you!

Course Policies
• The schedule, assignments and details in this syllabus are subject to change with fair warning.
• Late work: Due dates are listed for each assignment both in the syllabus and in Moodle. I might accept late
work, but only if you communicate the reason for why it is late with me. Late submissions will be penalized
20% for each day it is late. Submitting assignments late without any communication with me or after 5 days
past-due, will result in 0 points.
• Absences: Perfect attendance should be strived for in this class. I do realize life becomes difficult at times,
for this purpose I have adopted the attendance policy of Northwest College. This policy allows for one clock
hour of unexcused absence for each credit offered (for example, our four-credit course equals for clock hours
of unexcused absences allowed). After the allowed absences have been taken, the instructor can reduce the
student’s grade by one letter grade per absence beyond the number allowed. Although, it is important to note
there will be no make-up exams for unexcused absences. Unexcused absences include any absence that does
not directly relate to a College sponsored event.
Northwest College Universal Syllabus Information
I. Northwest College ADA Statement
Northwest College is dedicated to removing barriers and opening access for students with disabilities in
compliance with ADAAA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. It is the student’s responsibility to make
an appointment with the Disability Support Services (DSS) Coordinator to provide documentation of a
disability (whether it is psychiatric, learning, mobility, health related, or sensory) and to inquire about

II. Northwest College Title IX Policies
Title IX (Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the
basis of sex or gender identity in any federally-funded education program or activity.
The law states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving
Federal financial assistance” (The United states Department of Justice).
Many people think of Title IX in terms of sports equality, but Title IX expands beyond sports. The Know Your
IX site explains that Title IX "addresses discrimination against pregnant and parenting students and women in
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programs. It also addresses sexual harassment, gender-
based discrimination, and sexual violence. Sexual violence includes attempted or completed rape or sexual
assault, as well as sexual harassment, stalking, voyeurism, exhibitionism, verbal or physical sexuality-based
threats or abuse, and intimate partner violence" (Know Your IX). You can read more about NWC’s Title IX
policies at: https://www.nwc.edu/title9/understanding-title-ix/title-ixMandatory Reporting Notice - It is important to note that all NWC employees (whether faculty, staff
[including Resident Assistants], or administrators) are required to report incidents of sexual harassment,
discrimination, or sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator if we become aware of these situations.

V. Northwest College Course Withdrawal Procedure and Schedule
If you find that you no longer wish to remain in this class, you should officially drop or withdraw from it.
Only you, the student, can initiate this process, and you are strongly encouraged to consult first with your
academic advisor with regard to the effect on your program of study, financial aid status, etc. In order to drop
or withdraw from class, you must meet certain deadlines and follow specific procedures:
• To drop: you can do this by the deadline listed below and no record will appear on
your transcript. You can drop a class by logging onto WebAdvisor through your student
portal, or your academic advisor can do it for you as well. You can also go to the
Admissions Office and complete the appropriate form.
• To withdraw: after the “drop” deadline, your remaining option is to “withdraw” from
this course. A mark of "W" will appear on your transcript, but it will not affect your GPA.
Again, you can withdraw from a class by the deadline listed below by logging onto WebAdvisor
through your student portal, or your academic advisor can do it for you as well. You can
also go to the Registration and Records Office and complete the appropriate form.
• If you merely stop logging onto this class, or cease submitting work even if you still logon,
but do not officially remove yourself from class, then you will be subject to “Administrative
Withdrawal” from the course, at the discretion of the instructor, up to the official
“Withdrawal” deadline mentioned above. Otherwise you shall definitely receive an “F.”
Drop/Add/Withdrawal deadlines are available on the Academic Calendar that can be found here:
