COURSE: BSC 1093 Anatomy and Physiology I – Online

Prerequisite: ENC0025 Developmental Writing II And
REA0017 Developmental Reading II
Co-requisite: BSC 1093L.

Course Description: Welcome to Anatomy and Physiology. This course will cover topics
relating to human body structure, function, and theory. This course is a 6 week course so it is
imperative that you keep yourself on track. Each week you will be assigned new materials
and have various quizzes to complete. Certain weeks will require that you complete exams
that are collectively worth 80% of your grade. You will find all the course content that you will
need in the panopto recordings which can be found under the panopto recordings tab on
canvas. These videos will serve as the primary means for your study and also where I will pull
the majority of the test/quiz questions. You should be able to find all of the materials that you
will need in the panopto videos and in the powerpoint slides, which are found at the top of
each chapter module on canvas. Please reach out with questions.

*This course will be conducted in an Online format. Understand the following technology
requirements for this course:

1. Reliable Internet Access: Internet access is Mandatory for your participation in the class. A high-
speed, uninterrupted, and reliable connection is necessary when taking an online class as all
assignments, activities, and assessments will be given online. Slow internet, internet outages, or lack
of internet in general will not be sufficient excuses for incomplete, late, unfinished, or unsubmitted
assignments, assessments, or tests.
2. Computer: Reliable and consistent access to a computer is required for your participation in the course.
If you do not have access to a device you may contact the PiratesCARE team and request a loaner
laptop for the semester, however, no due dates will be extended and no additional time will be given
due to not having access to a computer. * Chromebooks do not work with the required Respondus
 Lockdown Browser and therefore, other technological arrangements might need to be made in order
for you to take assessments. Computers are available at numerous locations on each campus.
Computer availability, malfunctions, incompatibility, or internet outages are not excuses for
missing course work in this course. Canvas supports mobile devices for basic functions. However,
students may not be able to complete all course requirements with mobile technology (phones, tablets,
iPads, etc.)
3. Access to the Respondus Lockdown Browser and lockdown browser monitor: All class Exams
will be given using the Respondus Lockdown Browser and the Respondus Lockdown Browser Monitor.
You must have access to a device that will support this platform. * Chromebooks do not work with the
required Respondus Lockdown Browser and therefore, other technological arrangements might need
to be made in order for you to take assessments. A webcam will be required for this. Technical
difficulties with the respondus lockdown browser are not valid excuses for incomplete or unfinished
assignments. As the respondus lockdown browser is a course requirement, you must have consistent
and reliable access to the program. Inability to obtain access to this program does not warrant
extensions or additional opportunities on the course assignments. NOTE: In the event that you are to
have technical difficulties during any course assessment and you are not permitted to finish, your
incomplete/unfinished score will remain as your score on that assignment.
4. Speakers/Headphones: Working headphones, either a standalone pair or the built-in speakers on
your computer, are needed to listen to the audio recordings for class.

the student, about your coursework, attendance, grades, etc. Every email sent to the
instructor should include your first and last name, the course identification (BSC 1093
and section number, not just “your anatomy class” as most instructors have many classes). Use
professional grammar and punctuation. Text “language” is not acceptable in academic
communications. IF I CANNOT UNDERSTAND YOUR MESSAGE I WILL NOT BE

Attendance: College policies require we report attendance every two weeks, beginning the
first week of classes. Attendance is mandatory and will be taken by your completion of weekly
assignments. If you have more than 2 unexcused absences or incomplete assignments, you
will be withdrawn from the course. Excused absences may be awarded at the instructor’s
discretion. The instructor retains the final decision whether or not an absence will be
considered excused. Attendance will be taken based upon the completion of your weekly
assignment. Every missed assignment will count as one unexcused absence.

homework and quiz assignments MAY differ from chapter to chapter. Quizzes for each unit
are due by 11:59pm every Sunday unless the instructor states otherwise. Assignments
submitted past the due date will NOT be accepted. There will be a weekly quiz that I will use to
assess your attendance.
