Course Description (Catalog)

This course is to provide an applied review of Anatomy and Physiology by reviewing the normal
structure and function of the human body’s organ systems along with reviewing the functional
changes that accompany particular syndromes or diseases (i.e. pathophysiology). It will require
the student to integrate the body systems and apply their knowledge of normal and abnormal
anatomy and physiology. This course is designed for allied health students, especially those
interested in direct patient care, and is also a recommended elective for those desiring increased
experience with anatomy and physiology or pathophysiology.

primary organ systems (muscular, cardiovascular, skeletal, nervous, respiratory, reproductive,
etc.), this course will introduce the student to abnormal anatomy and physiology by means of
studying pathophysiology, the abnormal functioning of diseased organs. Specifically, a focused
review of those aspects of the body’s normal structure and function required for an
understanding of pathophysiology, patterns of disease in the body’s major organ systems, and
applications to medical procedures and patient care will be covered in this eight week course.
This course is geared toward those students with a basic understanding of anatomy and
physiology who seek to expand upon such general concepts and apply such knowledge to their
selected allied health career.

Evaluation Procedures

The nature of an online course requires a significant amount of independent work. The student
will be provided with structure, resources, guidance, and instructor experience for learning the
course material. The student, however, is responsible for managing time, completing the
readings, completing assignments on time, and making inquiries as needed to complete the
course effectively. This is an 8-week course, which requires dedication and diligence on the part
of the student.

It is important for the student to check his/her e-mail and posted ―Announcements‖ area on at
least a weekly basis. Assigned readings, Internet-work, homework assignments, quizzes, and
examinations will be posted inside the electronic classroom under the ―Lessons‖ link and are also
listed in detail in the course syllabus. All assignments will have due dates of a week or more,
therefore, no extensions or last-minute exceptions are anticipated. The student is expected to
complete all work on time. For the purposes of this course, a ―week‖ is defined as the time
period between Monday and Sunday, unless otherwise notified by your professor. The first week
begins on the first day of the course and ends on 11:55 PM Eastern Time of the first Sunday
following the first day of the course. In addition, since this is a distance learning course and
students and professors are located within many different time zones and for the purpose of
keeping everyone consistent, all times listed inside the classroom (including deadlines on
assignments, quizzes, and exams) are referenced in the Eastern Time Zone.

Due to the busy schedules of the students, all work is asynchronous, meaning you are not
required to be online at a specific time with the professor or other students. If you have any
particular questions regarding the course format or material, contact your professor via e-mail. I
will be available by e-mail and will respond to e-mails within 24 hours during the week and
within 48 hours during the weekend.

The grading will be based on the following:

Forum Assignments (8) - The student will be responsible for participating in eight Forum
activities in which each student will respond to questions posed by the instructor, offer his/her
feedback to the questions posed, and respond to at least two of his/her classmates’ posts.

**Evaluation/Grading of each Forum Assignment: Postings will be evaluated on their


quality and the degree to which the postings promote discussion with classmates.
Participation on all forums is required. Points are allocated as follows based on the
original posting and replies (Total of 100 points):

textbooks, please refer to the online course description through your student portal. This syllabus is proprietary material
of APUS.
A. Original Posting – Content and Analysis (55 points possible). Due by
Wednesday of the assigned week. Your Forum entry should be pertinent to the
subject matter and demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the topics
discussed with an appropriate introduction, supporting paragraphs, and
conclusions. Forum entries should contain 300-500 words, excluding the
references. Don’t forget that your posts should be listed in your own words.
Please refer to the ―Plagiarism‖ policy located inside the APUS classroom under
the ―Policy‖ link if you have any questions.

B. Original Posting - References cited and properly listed in APA format – (10
points possible). Whenever you write a paper based on the research of someone
else’s work, you must give credit to the original author. If you do not cite and
document your sources carefully, you run the risk of plagiarism. In addition,
when you document papers correctly, you provide others with a way to find the
sources you have used. I recommend you visit the following web site (The Owl at
Purdue) to learn how to properly cite your sources in the APA format:
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

C. Spelling/Grammar/Punctuation - (15 points possible).

D. Response to classmates’ posts – (20 points possible). Due by Sunday of the


assigned week. Examples include discussing a point that you like/agree with
and/or a point that you dislike/disagree with. You also may ask your classmates
additional questions or request further clarification. Again, please be sure to be
respectful and professional when responding to your fellow classmates’ posts.
Lastly, please note that this portion of the Forum cannot be made up, so make
sure you post your responses when due. If you are away from the course for any
reason, when you return, you may submit your original post and receive up to the
80 points allowable (for your original post, spelling/grammar/punctuation, and
properly listed citations); however, you will receive no credit for responding to
another student's post because it is after the fact and will be of little value to your
classmate.

Polices

Please see the Student Handbook to reference all University policies. In addition to other
important policies, the Student Handbook will cover the:

Drop/Withdrawal Policy
Plagiarism Policy
Extension Process and Policy
Disability Accommodations

WRITING EXPECTATIONS
All written submissions should be submitted in a font and page set-up that is readable and neat. It
is recommended that students try to adhere to a consistent format, which is described below.
 Typewritten in double-spaced format with a readable style and font and submitted inside
the electronic classroom (unless classroom access is not possible and other arrangements
have been approved by the professor).
 Arial 12-point font or Times New Roman styles.
 Page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right Side = 1 inch, with reasonable
accommodation being made for special situations and online submission variances.

CITATION AND REFERENCE STYLE


Assignments completed in a narrative essay or composition format must follow APA guidelines.
This course will require students to use the citation and reference style established by the
American Psychological Association (APA), in which case students should follow the guidelines
set forth in Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). (2009).
Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association.

PLAGIARISM
All instances of plagiarism will be reported to the Registrar, and an appeals process lies therein.
Your instructor will assign a zero for the assignment and may also fail you from the course upon
repeated or egregious cases. Please see the ―Academic Honesty and Honor Pledge‖ section of
Lesson 1 inside the APUS classroom for more information.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS
Students are expected to submit classroom assignments by the posted due date and to complete
the course according to the published class schedule. As adults, students, and working
professionals, I understand you must manage competing demands on your time. Should you need
additional time to complete an assignment please contact me before the due date so we can
discuss the situation and determine an acceptable resolution. Otherwise, submission of late
assignments is unacceptable and will result as follows: written assignments submitted up to a
week beyond the due date will be awarded partial credit (a 5% penalty will be applied for each

day the assignment is tardy) and written assignments submitted one week or more beyond the
due date will not be eligible for credit. Quizzes and exams cannot be made up after the due date
unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.

NETIQUETTE
Online universities promote the advance of knowledge through positive and constructive debate-
-both inside and outside the classroom. Discussions on the Internet, however, can occasionally
degenerate into needless insults and ―flaming.‖ Such activity and the loss of good manners are
not acceptable in a university setting--basic academic rules of good behavior and proper
―Netiquette‖ must persist. Remember that you are in a place for the fun and excitement of
learning that does not include descent to personal attacks, or student attempts to stifle the
discussion of others.

 Technology Limitations: While you should feel free to explore the full-range of creative
composition in your formal papers, keep e-mail layouts simple. The Sakai classroom may
not fully support MIME or HTML encoded messages, which means that bold face, italics,
underlining, and a variety of color-coding or other visual effects will not translate in your
e-mail messages.
 Humor Note: Despite the best of intentions, jokes and--especially--satire can easily get
lost or taken seriously. If you feel the need for humor, you may wish to add ―emoticons‖
to help alert your readers: ;-), : ), 

DISCLAIMER STATEMENT
Course content may vary from the outline to meet the needs of this particular group.
