Current Course Description: Study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Uses lecture and laboratories utilizing human cadavers to cover the following topics: nervous system, special senses, cardiovascular system, and immune system. Three one hour lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 234; offered winter and spring terms. |
New Course Description: Study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Uses lecture and laboratories utilizing human cadavers to cover the following topics: nervous system, special senses, endocrine system, and cardiovascular system. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 234; offered winter and spring terms. |
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Based on assessment data and to better prepare students for BI 318 (Microbiology for the Health Sciences), which is taught every winter/spring term, we exchanged the teaching of the immune system (currently in BI 235, often taken in winter) with the teaching of the endocrine system (currently in BI 234, often taken in fall). BI 318 is required for all pre-nursing and by the Human Biology minor, which many Community Health students are electing to pursue. This course description change involves no new FTE or space requests. |
Students/Program affected: Some Pre-Professionals (-nursing; -dental hygiene; -physical therapy; -occupational therapy) Community Health majors Exercise Science majors Physical Education Teacher Education majors Human Biology minors |
