Course Structure

Multiple types of courses are available based on the student’s preferred method of learning.  

Lectures

Both On-Ground classes and Interactive Online classes take place during scheduled class time and require students to meet the attendance and participation requirements set by instructors. On-Ground classes meet in person while Interactive Online classes meet on Zoom (i.e. in a synchronous format). Both formats utilize a mix of presentations and small group discussions where students learn to tie key foundational concepts to clinical practice and other real-world applications. Self-Paced Online classes are designed for students to study independently on their own schedule under the guidance of an instructor (i.e. in an asynchronous format). There are no attendance requirements in scheduled class sessions, but students must interact regularly with their instructor and meet assignment due dates to demonstrate their understanding of course content. Students can set up appointments to meet individually or in small groups with instructors as needed via Zoom.

Labs

Lab courses provide hands-on experiences that complement the lectures. Online labs simulate hands-on learning while reinforcing problem-solving skills required in healthcare settings. In On-Ground labs, students have access to dedicated lab resources at SCU’s campus, including chemistry, microbiology

Student Support

Regardless of how students choose to learn, tutoring in any subject is available to fit student schedules. SCU students can also take advantage of exclusive health sciences workshops, student events, and symposia offered by the University.

This course is typically needed for:

  • Nursing Programs
  • Physical Therapy Programs

Can you do anatomy and physiology lab online?

Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 110E/BIO 110LE) is an online, asynchronous, self-paced course that includes both a 3-credit lecture session and 1-credit laboratory session.

What is anatomy and physiology with lab?

This undergraduate-level introductory course is the first of a two-course-series on human anatomy and physiology. Using a body systems approach, we will study the anatomical structure and physiological function of the human body.

How hard is anatomy and physiology Online?

It is not as easy as it sounds. It would take me an average of 3-4 hours just to get the discussion question researched and my response written. Tests: If you think that it would be easy to cheat on a test for this online class, think again.

Does Khan Academy have anatomy?

Khan Academy: Human Anatomy & Physiology You'll learn some general anatomy (a roadmap of your body), learn how the arm bone actually connects to the shoulder bone, and how the different organs work together to keep you alive.
