This course is offered by the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. For more information about the college, visit our website: https://cisa.asu.edu/ . If you have questions or concerns, please send your inquiry to [email protected]. Course information Course Description BIO 201 is the study of structure and function of the human body. Topics include: Surface Anatomy; Chemistry Review; Cells; Genetics; Histology; Integumentary System; Skeletal System; Joints; Muscular System; Central, Autonomic, and Peripheral Nervous Systems; Sense Organs. Enrollment Requirements None Course Overview Course Format- BIO 201 is normally treated as a hybrid course, with nearly all aspects handled as a traditional in-person course, but with one hour of online prep required per lab period. For Spring 2021, BIO 201—lecture and lab—will be conducted primarily through ASU Sync, with optional opportunities for in-person experiences in lab. BIO 201 will cover the first half of the anatomy and physiology series offered at Arizona State University. This course will begin with the micro (building blocks of matter, atoms & molecules, basic organic and inorganic chemistry), explore the cell, tissues, and organs, and explore, in detail, several physiological

systems of the human body including the integumentary system, skeletal system, joints/articulations, the muscular system, and then the nervous system. The remaining physiological systems will be covered in both structure and function in the second half of Anatomy and Physiology (BIO 202). Student Learning Outcomes Through weekly readings, written assignments and assessments, students will be able to: 1. properly pronounce, define and utilize the terminology associated with topics covered in this course. 2. correctly identify the gross anatomical and histological structures and describe physiological functions of the cell; integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous systems, and the special senses. 3. integrate the above noted knowledge with critical thinking skills, and quantitative and qualitative reasoning skills learned in the laboratory setting. 4. use this knowledge to analyze changes in science and technology, and make informed decisions relative to the topics of this course. ASU Sync This course is scheduled as an ASU Sync course. You can find out more information about ASU Sync for students here: https://provost.asu.edu/sync/students. Unless otherwise noted, live Zoom sessions associated with the lecture portion of the course will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10:10 am (for Section #23056) and at 11:15 am (for Section #19054) each week. All course lectures will be posted as videos in Canvas. The zoom sessions will not simply be a reiteration of those lectures, but they will serve more like a recitation. You will have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with your instructor in real time, and explore concepts that you need clarification on, and ask question about your active learning exercises. So please prepare for these sessions, so we can have robust conversations that will help you in your mastery of the course content. Live lab Zoom sessions are mandatory If you cannot physically be on campus due to travel restrictions or personal health concerns, you will be able to attend your classes via ASU Sync during the fall semester. If you will not be on-campus for the fall semester, you are expected to contact your professors to make accommodations. To Summarize, note the following: REQUIRED for Lecture -All assigned readings, Powerpoints, Videos, Quizzes, Exams. Active Learning Exercises posted in Canvas. Exams will be given in Canvas at the time class is scheduled (10:10 am or 11:15 am), unless otherwise noted. ENCOURAGED (but not required) for Lecture -All live Zoom class sessions REQUIRED for Lab -All live Zoom Lab sessions ENCOURAGED (but not required) for Lab -All in-person lab rotations posted in Canvas Face Coverings Everyone is required to wear a face cover while in ASU buildings and community spaces, regardless of distance. Face covers help prevent pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals from inadvertently spreading COVID-19 to others. They are meant to protect others in case you are sick. Students will be
