What is a Student Learning Outcome?
Student Learning Outcomes are statements of knowledge, skills and abilities individual students should possess and can demonstrate upon completion of a learning experience or sequence of learning experiences. This course will provide you with information to think and act intelligently with respect to contemporary issues in biology.
Upon completing this course successfully, Student Learning Outcomes state that you should be able to:
Upon completing this course successfully, Student Learning Outcomes state that you should be able to:
1: APPLY PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS TO HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
demonstrate knowledge of basic organic and inorganic chemistry as it relates to human cells, tissues, and organs
apply principles of electricity to membrane potentials, nervous system transmission, and muscle contraction physiology
illustrate how pH, ions, concentration gradients, and electrical gradients influence physiological processes
apply principles of force and load to muscle physiology
2: DEMONSTRATE A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOMEOSTASIS AND FEEDBACK LOOPS
describe the mechanisms by which the human can self-regulate
compare and contrast positive and negative feedback loops
explain how homeostatic mechanisms can involve multiple organ systems
assess the impact of pathologies on the maintenance of homeostasis
evaluate clinical examples and deduce physiological mechanisms involved
3: IDENTIFY ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES
utilize proper anatomical vocabulary to identify structures in the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems
demonstrate the use of a light microscope to distinguish cells and tissues
analyze three dimensional relationships between anatomical structures (using models, cadaver prosections, and organ dissection)
integrate lab experiences and anatomical understanding to apply knowledge of specific organ systems to human physiology
4: DETERMINE GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY OF A STRUCTURE BASED ON ANATOMICAL OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION
analyze structural distinctions and apply concepts of cellular physiology to organs and organ systems
determine functional relationships among various organ systems based upon their anatomical proximity or similarity
use the scientific method to develop hypotheses that can be tested in the laboratory, collect and analyze data, and apply the concepts to course content, broader physiological principles, and real-world applications
Don't let this list of student objectives intimidate you. You can do this! By the end of this course all those terms will make sense :) And don't forget: I am here to help you!
