-There are 2 REQUIRED items for the Bio 2301 (A&P1) :

1)"Human Anatomy & Physiology", 2nd ed by Erin Amerman, Pearson Publishing, ISBN: 978-0134-754239

2)Modified Mastering A&P Access code that goes with the lecture textbook by Amerman. This MAP access code is ABSOLUTELY required. This is the same access code that is required for the A&P lab and you can use the same one...i.e. you do not have to purchase it twice.

A functioning computer with a webcam is required to take all online exams and quizzes.  It is the student's responsibility to have both. Alternatively, exams may be taken at one of the computer labs on the LSCPA campus.
 
Required Software (available free of charge)

• Microsoft Office
  • This software package contains MSWord which you’ll need in this course & other useful programs.  Office 365 suite is available to students Free of Charge.

Calculating your Lecture Average: 

Extra Credit (maximum of 16 total points) = Group Project (12 points) + Exam Bonus Questions (4 points)

Lecture Average = (Ex1 + Ex2 + Ex3 + Ex4 + Final Exam + MAP average + Extra Credit) / 6
