Course Topics:
Human Anatomy and Physiology is a science course for college-bound science students who are following an academic curriculum. This course is designed for students who want to learn about the structure and function of the human body in greater detail. A basic background in chemistry and biology is helpful in understanding many of the concepts. This course deals with the anatomy of the human body and identifies and relates the individual parts to the whole. It covers the physiology of the human body and provides an understanding of the functions of the parts. Some of the areas of discussion will be the structure and function of the cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body as well as the pathology of the human body system. The students will be required to complete extension activities.
Course Requirements:
Students will need to bring the following to class daily: class notebook, pen or pencil, colored pencils, and text. Each student will be responsible for maintaining a class notebook of discussions, reading assignments, and enrichment activities. Each student should also have a composition notebook for lab activities. There is the implied homework assignment every day to read, review, and study the notes and materials that were given in class. Chapter tests will be administered when all of the objectives have been covered and reviewed. If the textbook is lost the student will be charged a replacement fee according to School Board policy.
Grading Procedures:
Students will be assessed on all completed work, which will consist of homework, classwork, "Do-Nows", quizzes, laboratory reports, enrichment activities, special projects, and participation. Tests will count 10% each with about 4 per quarter. The daily average will count 20% and it consists of homework, classwork, quizzes, "Do-Nows", and participation. Laboratory activities count 20%, special projects and enrichment activities are 10%, and the term exam will count 10%. Each quarter grade is averaged together for the term grade and the term grades are averaged for the final grade. (Any term average lower than 50 will be computed as 50). Late projects and activities will lose 10% per day and they will not be accepted after 2 days. The student with the teacher's assistance will compute his/her weekly grade and record it in the student's agenda each Friday. This will serve as a means of communication via parent, teacher, and student and will be used in lieu of the interim report.
Each student in room 210 is expected to adhere to the rules and regulations of A.C. Flora High School. Students are expected to "mind their P's and Q's" by being Prompt, Prepared, Polite, and Quiet. The following classroom rules apply to the students of room 210.
a. Prompt: All students must be on time to class daily. This means entering quietly and sitting down in the classroom area (as opposed to lab area) before the tardy bell.
b. Prepared: All students must come to class prepared with the necessary materials: Textbook, class notebook, lab notebook, and pen and/or pencil.
c. Polite/Quiet: All students must follow directions in class. This necessitates paying close attention and not disrupting others.
d. Major tests are usually announced in advance and students are expected to take each test on time. If a student misses a test and the absence is excused, the test should be made up within five days. The only exception to this is when the student has missed several days in a row prior to and on the test date. In this case the student and I will arrange a make-up schedule as soon as possible after the student returns to school.
e. All students should be aware of the state law concerning absences. Only 8 absences are allowed. Students who exceed 8 absences will not receive credit for the course.
f. Students absent from class for any reason are personally responsible for all work they miss during the absence. The student must see me for assignments and instructions concerning any missed work. Students should take care of this on their first day back after an absence.
Violation of any class rule 1st offense Warning
Violation of any class rule 2nd offense Detention, parent contact
Violation of any class rule 3rd offense Referral
Failure to report to detention Referral
Immediate Disruption ISD-In School Detention
