* Subject to change at the instructor’s discretion
Course Objectives
1)
2)
3)
4)
To develop an understanding of the structure and function of the human body.
To develop a basic understanding of cells, tissues, the skeletal system, muscular system and
nervous system
To give the student a simulated lab experience using PhysioEx. 8.0, an interactive software
package that includes 11 modules containing 79 lab simulations.
To give the student a virtual lab experience using Practice Anatomy Lab (PAL). 3.0, an interactive
software package that includes human cadavers, anatomical models and histology.
Course Materials
Text: Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb and Katja Hoehn (9th edition)
Access code for the Mastering A&P website from Pearson Education included with purchase of new
textbook.
The KN 253 course will be held on the Mastering A&P website and Blackboard. Students will be enrolled
in the Blackboard site upon registration. The Blackboard site will primarily be used for communication
purposes (announcements, etc.). The actual course documents (assignments, exams, lab activities) will
all be located on the Mastering A&P website. To gain access to this website, students need to either use
the access code that was provided with their textbook or purchase one from Pearson Education. It is the
student’s responsibility to learn how to use both the UIC Blackboard website and the Mastering A&P
website. Both websites have excellent tutorials to help guide you through the process of online
computing. It is important that to log onto the website as soon as the course opens to ensure that your
computer is configured correctly.

Workload
Students are reminded that KN 253 is a four credit-hour course. Therefore, a commitment of 30-40
hours per week should be expected.
In order to successfully complete this course, students will be responsible for the following:



Timely completion of all assigned readings
Timely completion of all assignments
Successful completion of quizzes and exams
Attendance
Students regularly “attend” the virtual classroom at times most convenient to them, not at specific class
times. Students are expected to “attend” class by logging into the Mastering A&P website regularly (five
to seven days a week), if not daily. While convenience is an advantage in online learning, students are
responsible for completing various activities by assigned deadline dates (Central Standard Time) as
identified in the course calendar. An absence (vacation, etc.) does not excuse the student from the
responsibility of completing assignments.
Grade Dispute Policy
If you do not understand why you received a specific grade on any assignment, wait at least 24 hours
(no more than seven days) after the posting of the grade to e-mail the instructor. You must explain in an
e-mail the specific item/areas that concern you.
Students with Disabilities and Accommodation Requests
Students with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations to enable active participation in this
course. Requests for accommodation are coordinated through the UIC Disability Resource Center. More
information may be found at the DRC Website located at:
http://www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/disability_resources/index.html. Students requesting accommodation
must provide each instructor with a letter outlining the specific accommodations requested for a
specific course. These letters are developed by the DRC in coordination with the student and presented
to the instructor by the student during first week of classes.
Grading System
All grades will be posted to the “My Grades” section on the Mastering A&P website. Final grades will be
posted within ten days of the completion of the course. You will have access to the Mastering A&P
website and Blackboard until the end of the semester.
8/14/2013
Your final grade will be based upon the following:



Assignments
Quizzes
Exams
All quizzes and exams will be time limited. Time limits will be posted and points will be deducted for
exceeding posted time limits.
Final grades will be based on the following percentages:


A = 100 – 90%
B = 89 – 80%
C = 79 – 70%
D = 69 – 60%
F = 59 and below
