Human Anatomy Course Syllabus

Welcome to Human Anatomy!

Course Description

Human Anatomy is the fascinating study of the structures in the human

body and their functions. In this course you will learn the structures and
functions of the body systems through online interactions with resources such
as videoclips, articles, tutorials, quizzes and virtual lab experiences.

Course Goals and Expectations

The goal of this course is for you to develop a working knowledge of the
structures and functions of the following body systems: integumentary system,
skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, endocrine system, nervous
system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive
system, urinary system and reproductive system. Specific learning targets for
each system will be listed at the beginning of each lesson presentation.

My expectation is that you will complete one lesson presentation per

week. There is one lesson presentation per system. Lessons are posted on
Mondays and assignments are due the following Tuesdays at midnight.
Each lesson presentation begins with an assignment overview including the due
dates, points and grading rubrics. Specifics for completing assignments are
given at the end of each lesson presentation. Plan on several hours per week to
complete the assignments. Please check your email for announcements and
updates throughout the week. If you have questions or concerns regarding any
assignment, please contact me via email at jluepke@dist113.org or phone at
224-632-3261.

Student Conduct

It is important that all students feel comfortable working in an online

environment. You are expected to treat one another with respect in the online
world. We will practice Netiquette rules as described in the online presentation
I have put together for you, “Class Expectations for Online Communication” at
http://www.slideshare.net/judiluepke/class-expectations-for-online-
communication-1769640.

You should also follow the Internet Safety guidelines I have outlined at
http://show.zoho.com/public/gerilyn/Making%20Good%20Choices%20on%20th
e%20Internet1.

Academic Honesty

You are expected to always do your own work—no two assignments should ever
look the same from different students! If academic dishonesty is discovered,
you will receive a “0” for that assignment and a report will be filed with the
Dean’s office. It is also important to always credit your sources for information
and images in the assignments that you complete.
