Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology
NOT TEACHING Fall 2022
Welcome to BIO 106 (Fall 2021)
During this semester we will explore the fundamental principles of human anatomy and physiology. Through this integrated course, our roadmap will lead you to understand how structure determines function and to speak the universal language of medicine.
This class is being taught by remote instruction consisting of weekly modules with online lectures, discussions and labs. Weekly modules start at 10 am on Monday and end the next Monday at 10 am. For scheduling purposes, if you register for a remote section, please plan to be available at the days and times listed. Your teacher will contact you with the exact schedule prior to the beginning of class, but you will not be required to be available at any times other than what is listed.
General Course Overview (Fall 2021)
Bio 106 is usually an in-person with weekly lectures and laboratory meetings every Tuesday/Thursday from 1:10-4:00 pm. However, due to COVID-19, the entire course will be taught online. You can always meet with me online via virtual office hours. In fact, I will have virtual office hours either on Tuesday or Thursday from 1:00-2:00PM (consult the CANVAS Calendar for exact dates).
During the 1st week, I will host a REQUIRED zoom meeting during our scheduled meeting time on Tuesday 8/17 from 1:30-2:30 pm. You will access this meeting using the CANVAS calendar (or you can email me for the link). This first meeting provides the opportunity for me to orient you to this course and to answer any questions you might have. For those on the waitlist or wanting to get into the class, it will be even more important for you to join as I will note your presence and give you priority if space does open up in the class. SO, please plan on joining on Tuesday, August 17th!
Please note that anyone who does NOT participate in the “M1: Discussion Meet Your Classmates by August 20 will be considered a NO SHOW and dropped from the course so that I can add others who are interested in adding the course. As such, if you are looking to add (whether on the wait list or not), plan on attending the first meeting on August 17th! Email me for details.
BIO 106 is a 4-unit course that fulfills the Area C, Natural Science CCSF requirement and meets requirements for transfer to CSU and UC.
