BIO 152 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN SYSTEMS II


Textbook: Seeley’s Anatomy and Physiology 9th ed By Rod Seeley, Cinnamon Van Putte, Jennifer Regan, Andrew Russo
Publisher:McGraw-Hill

Lab Book:Laboratory Manual , Seeley’s Anatomy and Physiology 9th ed By Eric Wise
Publisher McGraw-Hill

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

BIO 152 is the last of a three semester Anatomy & Physiology course (BIO 150/151/152) This course continues the study of the 11 organ systems concentrating on the Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive systems. In addition, human development from fertilization through the life stages of postnatal development is discussed.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

Prerequisite: BIO 151.
Students who have successfully completed the BIO 151 lab/lecture are allowed to enroll in Bio 252. Those students registering for BIO 152 must also register for BIOL 152 which 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 152 will be determined 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 departmental lab exams, there will be AT LEAST two practical lab exams given by the lab instructor.

THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS 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 152 and a “P” or “F” will be assigned to BIOL 152. Students earning an “F” grade for BIO 152 will automatically be assigned an “F” grade for BIOL 152.
