CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
This course is an admission requirement for the Practical Nurse program. This course gives an overview
of the structure and function of eleven body systems. It also encourages various health promotion
strategies that work toward the optimal functioning of these systems.
COURSE GOAL AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Students will build on their biology 12 knowledge, ensuring that they have a good basic knowledge and
vocabulary related to anatomy, physiology, and health promotion strategies.
ACADEMIC HONESTY AND STUDENT CONDUCT:

Students are expected to conduct themselves with academic integrity and in accordance with CNC’s
established standards of conduct. Penalties for misconduct, including plagiarism, cheating and personal
misconduct are outlined in the Standards of Conduct: Student Responsibility and Accountability
document found in the policies section of CNC’s website. All students should familiarize themselves with
this document: http://cnc.bc.ca/Visiting/CNC_Policies.htm
In addition to the policies listed in this document, some ‘common sense’ behaviours are requested, such
as students muting cell phones, attending lectures on-time, and refraining from chatting at
inappropriate times during lectures.

EVALUATION POLICIES:
Unit tests cover each segment of the course as it is completed and are not cumulative. Unit tests
must be taken on the posted dates (see timetable below); exceptions will only be considered in
extraordinary cases with proper documentation such as a doctor or counsellor’s note. In such
cases, the instructor’s discretion will dictate whether an early or late unit test is allowed, or
whether the remaining unit tests will make up for the missed unit test.
The unit tests will consist of questions based on topics covered in the lectures. Note: this does not
indicate that all material from each topic will be covered in-depth in the lectures; students are
expected to read the corresponding sections of the text book to ensure they are familiar with each
topic. Regularly posted quizzes completed on the course Moodle will help to keep students on-
pace during each unit. Quizzes will close one week after their content in the course is finished; no
late submissions will be accepted without the documentation for extraordinary circumstances
listed above.
