Due to time constraints and other factors we may not cover all the topics listed above in normal lecture hours. In some cases I may do an online lecture for certain material using the Panopto program to supplement our in class lectures.All students will be asked to submit a course evaluation following completion of the course.REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:Human Anatomy and Physiology: 12ed, Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn,San Francisco, CA: Pearson Education, 2024.TEXT OPTIONS: Your instructor for NUR 0012 has chosen to include your course in Inclusive Access, a digital course material program, and a course materials charge of $74.00 was applied to your PittPay account for the digital course materials you will be using. At this point your course materials should be available to view and use in the Canvas for your course, or will be when your instructor has opened Canvas for use. You are notrequired to participate in the Inclusive Access program. You have until the end of the add/drop period to opt out of the program and the charge for these materials will be refunded to your account. By opting out, you are assuming responsibility for obtaining physical copies of the course materials. You have until the end of the add/drop period to opt back into the program, if you choose. If you opt back in the course the course materials fee will be reapplied to 3
your account. If you are having trouble with accessing the online content, please contact our e-textbook provider’s customer service team here, or view video instructions here: Access Redshelf through Canvas. Inclusive Access Opt OutPolicies and Procedurescan be found on our website. If you are having difficulty opting out, instructions can be accessed here: Opting-Out-Opting-InMY VIEW ON TEXTS:All textbooks and supplements are resources for you to use and have. My power point slides and my lecture format follow the Marieb book, however, most texts cover the same material. I do not expect you to read and memorize each chapter, and often I do not cover everything that is in every single chapter. Some of you may choose to read or skim the chapter before we cover it in class, othersmay choose to wait until after lecture so they can pick and choose what needs to be read in detail. I know we have Google but remember the text has been written and revised through multiple editions and the information in it is verified and cited. TEACHING STYLE:Lecture, in class questions, online homework assignments and online case studies. All lectures will be recorded in Zoom and available shortly after class ends.EVALUATION: The course grade will be calculated from scores obtained four in class exams and multiple onlineassignments throughout the course of the semester. Exams will be a combination of multiple choice,diagrams, and/or case scenarios. In the event of an unexcused missed exam, the makeup exam will consist of essay questionsand case scenarios. You do not want to miss exams!ONLINE ASSIGNMENTSCase Studies:The four online case studies will present you with a short description of a clinical problem. In order to answer the questions you will have to use your lecture notes, textbook, and possibly outside referencematerial (i.e. internet sources, medical journals, other texts, etc.). The case studies will be available from the following dates:Case Study 1: 10/3 - 10/10Case Study 2: 10/10 – 10/22Case Study 3: 11/14 – 11/21Case Studies will be available until 11:59pm on the due date.After the times listed above the case studies will no longer be available to complete online.If you keep and turn in the hard copy instead of the online version, 2pts will be deducted for each day that it is late.I will not accept any case study submissions more than 4 days after the posted due date. Mastering A&P:Homework assignments must be completed by 11:59 pm on the due date to receive full credit. You will lose 10% for each day the homework is late. Please read the questions slowly and carefully. You will have four attempts to answer each question and submitted answers that are incorrect will result in a 25% reduction for that point. In other words, if you submit one incorrect answer and the second attempt is correct, you will receive 0.75 points for that question. You will have a total of two attempts to complete the homework assignment before the due date and the system keeps your highest score. Any assignment listed in blue is for credit. Any assignment in pink is a dynamic study module that can be completed for that chapter. While I don’t do extra credit in my classes, for each Dynamic Study Module you complete, 1 point will be added to your final mastering score at the end of the term.

We will go over how to access MAP the first day of class via Inclusive Access. In addition to my weekly office hours, please don’t hesitate to make an individual appointment to meet with me. This will help me get to know you. Remember, this is your course – it will be what you make of it. Your active participation – coming to class prepared, thinking about the issues we discuss, asking for clarification, and pursuing interesting questions will ensure that you will have learned a lot and have had fun! STUDYING: In general, you can expect to spend about three hours studying for every hour spent in class. Thatmeans you should try to spend about 6-7 hours studying for A&P materials. Suggestedactivities include: 1) Review your notes as soon as possible after each lecture, jot down any questions or clarifications. I will do my best to answer them at the beginning of the next class. 2) Compare and contrast new information with things that you have already learned.3) Study in groups 4) Utilize the various online practice assessments available via the e-text.5) Do something active with your studying, don’t just skim notes or text. One of the best skills I ever learned was how to rewrite and condense my notes into something that I couldrecall and understand quickly. For me, there is no substitute for hand to brain learning.UNIVERSITYGRADING SCALE:Rounding Policy: 93.5=94, 93.4=93, etc. C is considered passing for School of Nursing StudentsThere is no extra credit available.GRADINGBREAKDOWN:AssessmentPercentExam 120%Exam 220%Exam 320%Exam 420%Mastering Assignments15%Case Studies5%Total100%GRADING RUBRIC:Grading for lecture is done on a weighted scale, not on a straight points scale. You will have many more points for Mastering this term than you will for your exams, so each item is calculated as a percentage of the total. This way your Mastering and case study scores will not count for a disproportionate amount of your final grade. Overall 80% of your final grade is from your performance 5GradePercentageA+97-100A94-96A-90-93B+87-89B84-86B-80-83C+77-79C74-76C-70-73D+67-69D64-66D-60-63FBelow 60
