Note that Early Reporting Grades reflect performance on both
the 1st lecture test AND the miniquizes. It is critical to take the
latter seriously to maintain a satisfactory grade.

Instructor:
Dr. Claudia Bailey, SCEN ?, 575-6365. cfbailey@uark.edu

a meeting.

Recommended Preparation for Human Physiology:
Since we will draw heavily on principles of biology and chemistry, the
prerequisites listed in the catalog description should be considered
minimal requirements. Physics and anatomy are useful, but not required.
All written work is expected to be grammatically correct and should
contain appropriate scientific terminology. Reports will be required for
laboratory; written responses on tests and assignments will occur
regularly [tentative dates on class schedule].
Course Materials:
Lecture: Vander, A. J., J. A. Sherman, and D. S. Luciano. 1998. Human
Physiology: The Mechanisms of Body Function. 8 th Edition, McGraw-Hill,
New York.
Text Link: Vander et al. web site
Most useful features: Chapter Summaries, Key Term Flashcards, Quizzes
and Critical Thinking Activities
Laboratory: Woodring J. and T. H. Dietz. 1992. Laboratory Manual for Human
Physiology. 2nd Edition. Saunders College Publishing, New York.
Supplemental materials: Lab supplements, etc. will be made
available throughout the semester. Some material may be available
through the book store. Other information will be posted via links on
this web site and announced in class. Failure to check the web for these
materials or to attend class for announcements are not excuses.
Web materials: Lecture, review and supplemental material will be posted at
appropriate times at this web site
[http://comp.uark.edu/~cfbailey/hup.html] or on your TA's site [TBA].

Course Description and Objectives:
Physiology is the integrative study of how organisms, and their parts,
function. Physiologists concern themselves with processes that span levels
of function from molecular interactions to integrative whole organism
function. These processes are best described within the context of a
hierarchical system (molecules - organelles - cells - tissues - organs -
organ systems - individuals). We will make use of this organization to
study and increase our understanding of the interactive activities within
the human body. This course is designed to give you a broad and
fundamental survey of human function. Scientific and medical literacy is
crucial for your ability to understand biomedical and other technological
advances in both your chosen profession and our society. You should find
the concepts and information presented in this course to be useful both in
your professional development and in your personal understanding of health
issues.
Course format:
The course will use a combination of lecture and laboratory. You must be
enrolled in both the Lecture and one Laboratory section to participate in
this course. Lectures will provide basic information that will be required
to perform well on examinations. Laboratory exercises will provide
practical "hands on" experience with fundamental processes and phenomena
discussed in lecture.
Assessment:
Examinations will include objective questions (multiple choice, matching)
and problems/questions requiring a written response. Please note the
timing of exams during the course on the attached schedule - plan ahead!
There will be three semester exams (aprox. 100 points each) administered
in lecture during the semester. A final exam (200 points), part of which
will be cumulative (i.e. will test knowledge from the entire semester),
will be given during the scheduled time during Final Examination Week.
Material covered after the third semester exam will be covered on the
final.
The Laboratory grade will be ~25% of the total grade, and will be
determined by quizzes, assignments (including lab reports), and
attendance. Although the laboratory is listed as a separate course, the
grades will be integrated between lecture and laboratory, thus the grade
reported for the laboratory will be identical to the grade reported for
lecture.
This final course grade will be based on the total points you earn divided
by the total points offered.
Laboratory: 250
Lecture Exam 1: 90
Lecture Exam 2: 100
Lecture Exam 3: 110
Assignments: 50
In-class quizes: 50
Final Exam: 200
Total: 850
It is well established that students who attend class, take notes [topical
-minimal], utilize office hours and ask questions, consistently perform at
a higher level than those who do not!
Statement on Academic Integrity:
High standards of integrity and ethical conduct are expected from you. Do
not allow yourself to become "forced" into unethical conduct. If you are
having difficulty please seek help. Cheating on any aspect of a graded
activity will not be tolerated and will be handled as outlined in the
catalogue.
Important Dates:
See Lecture schedule for miniquiz, exam and assignment due dates
Final Exam: December 12th, TH, 12:30pm
