COURSE DESCRIPTION:

BIO 151 is the second of a three part Human Anatomy & Physiology course (BIO 150/151/152). Students must first pass the lecture and lab section of BIO 150 before registering for BIO 151. This three sequence Anatomy & Physiology course is geared for Nursing students and other students wishing to complete their Anatomy & Physiology requirement in three semesters. This course identifies the 11 organ systems in the body and then goes on to present in detail the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems as well as their functional interactions with each other and the other systems.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Prerequisite: BIO150
Students who register for BIO 151 must also register for BIOL 151which is the laboratory part of the course. The course carries 4 credits and meets six hours a week (3 hours lecture and 3 hours lab).

GRADING: The student's final grade for BIO 151 will be deteremined as follows:

LECTURE GRADE: 60% of course grade

Instructor's classroom exams* 25%

Uniform departmental midterm 15%

Uniform departmental final 20%

*Besides the two departmental exams, there will be AT LEAST two lecture exams given by the instructor.

LAB GRADE	40% of course grade
Instructor's contribution towards lab grade*	20%
Departmental written lab midterm	10%
Departmental written lab final	10%

*Besides the two dept. lab exams, there will be AT LEAST two practical lab exams given by the lab instructor.

THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UPS FOR ANY OF THE DEPARTMENTAL EXAMS

At the end of the semester, the marks for the lecture, lab and all departmental exams will be added up to determine the student’s final grade for the course. A letter grade will be assigned to BIO 151 and a “P” or “F” will be assigned to BIOL 151. Students earning an “F” grade for BIO 151 will automatically be assigned an “F” grade for BIOL 151.
