Human Anatomy and Physiology II (BSC 1086)- A&P II
This is a blended online instructional course.

This is a 3-credit hour course. Normally, a 3-credit hour course during a session 4 would meet two times each week (during an 8 week term) for a total of 6 hours per week or 48 hours per term. In this class, we will meet twice a week for at least 1.5 hours, and you will engage in structured out-of-class or online activities for the remainder of the class time.

The dates for your four exams required in this course are listing in the course offering.

To stay in the course students must complete three mandatory tasks: 1) Post an e-mail to Dr. Stouder within Blackboard, 2) complete the Syllabus quiz and 3) post a discussion to the "course success discussion" portion of the course. These three tasks MUST be completed by the due date listed in the course offering and on the first page of the Blackboard course or the student will be denied access to the course.

Faculty Introduction

Welcome to the fascinating and wonderful world of human anatomy and physiology. I’ll be your professor, Dr. Leo B. Stouder. I’m a retired doctor of chiropractic medicine. I’m also a full time tenured professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Biology. My associate degree was in liberal arts and my bachelor was in Human Biology. So this course will take a decidedly human approach to biology.
Anatomy is the study of life. It is the study of you. As you learn about anatomy, you’re learning about yourself.
