Ran in 2 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course covers the anatomy and physiology of the human body systems, with an emphasis on the relationship between a body organ's structure and its function. Topics include organization of the human body, basic chemistry, the cell, tissues, bones and muscles, the nervous system, the blood, cardiovascular system, and the urinary system. It is designed for students who have little formal knowledge of the human body but who wish to learn about the human body, or train for a career in therapeutic recreation or other social and community services.

  • Not bad for an online course. The midterms are open book and the final is not worth very much and online. May not be ideal if you want to get the highest grade ever but a pretty easy way to get a science breadth course.

  • Not as bad as the other review makes it seem. For anyone with highschool chem/bio knowledge this course isn’t too bad. Midterm and Exam are both online multiple choice, with discussions and written assignments. I found that the assignments helped me actually understand what I was learning and they were easy marks to bring up my midterm/exam grades

  • Really excessive workload with two mid-term exams AND a final exam on top of several assignments and discussion posts. Two mid-terms is a bit over-the-top. Somewhat useful course as it covers the basics of human anatomy, but not very interactive and the lectures are very boring.
