Course Overview
Canvas: Anatomy for Healthcare Management (N222) will use the Canvas internet-based learning environment to provide you with course material and feedback on your assignments and exams. Course announcements will be posted. We will utilize many Canvas features to post lectures with PowerPoint slides and audio, to link online lab exercises, to send messages, and to explore weekly module topics and assignments while facilitating "electronic" discussions throughout the semester via one-on-one coordination with the Course Co-Directors, as needed. Exams will also be online.
This course is NOT an approved substitute for Human Anatomy N261, which is a laboratory and on-site lecture-based course for Allied Health students.
If you feel you need additional training on Canvas you may sign up for a free computer workshop through UITS Instructional Steps workshops (see www.uits.iu.edu).
Course Credit: 3 credit hours
Course Description:
The beginning of your introduction to college-level Anatomy can be an exciting adventure, yet it can pose many challenges. We have developed this course to provide you with the tools that you will need to successfully meet these challenges, and to help ensure that your career requirements regarding Anatomical knowledge are met.
Anatomy for Healthcare Management BIOL N222will focus on the study of internal and external structures, and the physical relationships between these structures. Anatomy in this course will be studied at many levels, from molecular through microscopic to gross anatomy, and will also analyze anatomical concepts from a developmental perspective. We will use models, slides, photographs, and dissections throughout the semester.

Computer Requirements:
(Additionally, see the discussion on the last page Technical Assistance for Distance Learning Students) Any messages sent through Canvas as attachments utilizing a word processing program should be saved in a Word format (*.doc or *.docx) so that the instructors may open the document.
If you are accessing materials from home utilizing your own internet provider, you will still need to log in using IUPUI’s VPN connection (or Windows Authentication). If you do not already have this installed, you may find it at UITS’ website at www.iuware.iu.edu . Any issues with this may be resolved by UITS at 274-HELP and it may take over 24 hours to fix. Please plan ahead.
Other programs you may need to view and complete course materials are Acrobat Reader, PowerPoint, Word, and Adobe Flash. Both Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash programs can be downloaded from the same website for free if you do not have them available to you (www.adobe.com). PowerPoint can be downloaded from the UITS computing website found at: http://www.iuware.iu.edu/ or purchased from the IUPUI’s bookstore within the Microsoft Office Suite. For more guidance and information, you may contact your instructor.
For general information on how to use Canvas for students, link to http://ctl.iupui.edu/Resources/Canvas/Getting-Started-with-Canvas. . Minimum computer requirements for Windows and Macs are listed along which web browsers should you use. If you have any questions, please either contact the UITS support center or your instructors.
Not having computer access at home or off campus does not excuse missed exams. Technology can be unpredictable at times. Please plan ahead for the unexpected. No late exams are accepted.
Early Alert System (FLAG):
This semester many IUPUI classes, including Anatomy N120, will be using IU’s FLAG Early Alert System to provide real-time feedback on your performance in your course. Periodically throughout the semester your instructors will be entering data reflecting success with coursework, which may be viewed by your Program Director. This information will provide feedback on how you are faring in N120, and will allow the instructors to offer you suggestions on how you might be able to improve your performance. You will be able to access this information in the One.IU student center.
IUPUI’s Administrative Withdrawal Policy (http://registrar.iupui.edu/withdrawal-policy.html)
We believe that participation is a key factor in academic success. A basic requirement of Anatomy N222 is that you will participate in the course and conscientiously complete assignments. Since this is an online course, participation is determined by completion of exams. If you do not complete the first exam within the required 24 hr window, then the instructors will reserve the right to enforce this policy, and you may be withdrawn from this course.
Note that Administrative Withdrawal may have academic, financial, and financial aid implications. Administrative withdrawal will take place after the full refund period, and if you are administratively withdrawn from the course you will not be eligible for a tuition refund. If you have questions about the administrative withdrawal policy at any point during the semester, please contact the instructors.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
All completed assignments are to be the individual student’s work. Please be aware that facilitation - assisting others in inappropriate ways - is specifically mentioned in the code of conduct and can have serious penalties. Academic and personal misconduct by students is defined and dealt with according to the procedures outlined in the IU Code of Student Ethics. These policies and procedures will be followed in this course.
The Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity:
There are five fundamental values that this academic community (your virtual classroom) expects. Honesty, Fairness, Respect, Responsibility and Trust. You can expect these traits from your team, and we will expect to see them demonstrated in your classroom behavior.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: PLAGIARISM & CHEATING:
It is important for students to be aware of the expectations of IUPUI regarding individual course work. WE have high expectations and will hold you to meet those expectations. You need to be aware of the rules which govern your behavior both on and off campus. Should you make a poor choice, you should be aware of the consequences of those actions. Lastly, you should know that WE have tools available through Canvas which enable monitoring of your activity within the virtual classroom. These tools can be used as evidence of academic misconduct.
Please consider that the information offered to you in this class will likely be important to you in some way in your future. Academic dishonesty limits the amount of actual learning you can accomplish and, therefore, may affect your job performance in the future - regardless of whether you are "caught" or not.
Our policy is as follows:
Academic Misconduct
As a student at an institution of higher learning, you must conduct yourself in an honest and trustworthy fashion both within and outside of the classroom. Any attempt to circumvent these basic requirements constitutes academic misconduct. The following is a summary of actions that are considered to be inappropriate:
(1) Cheating = any behavior that attempts to achieve something by dishonest or deceitful means:
- copying all or parts of another student’s homework, lab reports, or term papers
- Knowingly allowing any student to copy your own work
- copying another student’s answers during an exam
- using crib sheets or other unapproved materials during an exam.
(2) Plagiarism = presenting the work of someone else as if it were your own, new and original effort. In academia plagiarism commonly refers to the copying of published works or data and not to the copying of your classmates’ work (which is defined as cheating). Failure to cite the original source or omitting indications of direct quotation constitutes plagiarism.
(3) Misrepresentation = any other actions that violate the philosophical cornerstones of academia:
- fabricating or using incorrect citations to give the illusion of a comprehensive review or to support research conclusions
- submitting a lab report for work not actually performed
- faking or fabricating research data or deliberately obscuring biased methodologies
- submitting a term paper or report, which has been previously submitted to meet the requirements of another course (or the same course if it is being repeated)
- Concurrently submitting identical or essentially identical term papers or reports to two or more separate courses without the prior consent of all instructors involved
- Knowingly assisting another student who is engaged in any of the above activities or concealing your knowledge of those activities
There are occasions where it may be appropriate for the instructor to waive some of these expectations. These exceptions may include cooperative projects or further development of work previously performed for credit. In such cases, the student must consult with the instructor(s) and obtain explicit approval before submitting the assignment.
The consequences of academic misconduct may include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following:
- We will consult with the Department Chair(s), or the Dean, to determine an appropriate course of action, with or without your prior notification;
- We may require you to completely or partially rewrite or redo the assignment, with or without a late penalty;
- We may award a zero for the assignment with no opportunity for you to rewrite or redo it;
- We may place a letter of reprimand in your permanent University record;
- We may expel you from the course and give you a failing grade;
- You may be expelled from the program or from the University.
** By taking this class you are agreeing to comply with this code of behavior, and we will treat it as a contract between us. It is your responsibility to pursue these issues further if you do not understand them fully!
The university policy for academic misconduct is in effect. I will assume that you have read it and understand it.
CIVILITY:
The University has certain expectations as to the civility of our campus community. Among those values is fostering a climate of civility and mutual respect regardless of race, gender, age, or status in the institution. IUPUI has achieved much of its promise as an urban university because we work together toward common ends. Because the university is so complex and diverse, however, we will not always agree with one another. When we disagree it must be done with civility. We encourage everyone to speak and act judiciously and with respect for one another.
Also among our values are academic freedom and an open exchange of ideas and opinions. However, when there are messages displayed that promote divisiveness in our academic community; we have an obligation to condemn those messages as being antithetical to our university ideals and sense of shared responsibility for each other’s welfare. If we are to be true to our commitment to diversity and be welcoming to all, everyone must do his or her part. We know the terrible legacy of unopposed statements of racial divisiveness and diatribe. If we don’t discourage such statements, they become insidiously acceptable and poison the climate of trust and respect we strive to maintain. When apathy leads us to permit discrimination or harassment because we ourselves are not objects of such behavior, we have failed our community.
No set of rules or policies can wholly govern human conduct. Civility is a fragile construct that each of us must cherish and preserve.
Distance Education Environment
To be successful in a distance learning environment students must be proactive contacting the teaching team with questions and participating in online (virtual) office hours with instructors, as needed.
Communicating in an online environment requires a certain amount of Netiquette or online etiquette. It is very important to be aware of how communications may be perceived by the recipient or recipients involved. Inappropriate discussion responses will NOT be tolerated; disciplinary action will be taken according with the guidelines outlined in the Code of Students Rights, Responsiblities, and Conduct (http://studentaffairs.iupui.edu/student-rights/student-code/)..
Netiquette information should be reviewed from the site of Netiquette:
http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html
Review the website for the appropriate rules for utilizing web and email. General common courtesy will be expected. Respect for each individual is critical. Appropriate and professional behavior is expected in the use of informal and formal communications. IUPUI Civility statement: http://archive.inside.iupui.edu/features/from-the-desk/2015-04-21-from-the-desk.shtml
