4. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Studies the Anatomical Bases of Human Movement.
5. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
I. The student will use anatomical terminology to describe and analyze movements of the body.
II. The student will be able to identify individual bones, bony landmarks, and joints.
III. The student will be able to identify individual skeletal muscle, attachment sites, types of contraction, and actions.
IV. The student will be able to describe anatomy and function of nerves in the body.
V. The student will be able to identify movements and analyze how they occur, and what structures are involve and responsible for the identified movement.
6. EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
Grading scale:
All Health Professions certificate and degree programs will use the following grading scale:
93 - 100% = A
85 - 92% = B
77 - 84% = C
69 - 76% = D
0 - 68% = F
Evaluation for this course will be based on the following:
4 Unit Exams Individual Projects
Quizzes Group Project
Assignments Lab participation
Attendance Lab practicals
Final grade is based on the average score in each category. Each category carries a different weight and is a percentage of the final grade. Exams and major projects will carry a greater weight than other methods of assessment.
Special Remarks:
- Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog.
- Students will be expected to have lab clothes on within 5 minutes after the scheduled starting time for lab exercises.
- Students should refer to the Massage Therapy Student Handbook for details regarding attendance, tardy and make-up policies for MST curriculum courses.
4. This course is designed to introduce the student to the structures of human anatomy and explain how these structures are involved in human movement. In addition to numerous illustrations within the text, there are hands-on experiences performed on yourself or a partner to enhance the learning of human anatomy. Students will be required to participate in palpation exercises with all classmates.
- Students are required to bring all learning materials, supplies and appropriate clothing to every class meeting.
- Massage therapy classes are “no cell phone zones”. Students are instructed to turn cell phones off and keep stored away during class.
