CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
 Lecture course dealing with the structure and functions involved in speech and the peripheral hearing mechanism. 
PURPOSE:
 The purpose of this course is to provide experiences that assist students in understanding the anatomical and physiological bases of the speech and hearing mechanisms. 
COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1
  
A.
 The student will be able to describe the structural and functional organization of the respiratory system, the phonatory system,, the articulatory system and the auditory system (8),
B.
 The student will be able to explain how these four systems contribute to the processes of speaking and hearing (8),  
C.
 The student will be able to explain the structural and functional organization of the nervous system (8),  
D.
 The student will be able to demonstrate how the nervous system coordinates the operation of the speech and hearing mechanisms (8).

INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES:
 The class format will be lecture/discussion oriented to students' integration of anatomic/physiologic principles into the knowledge base necessary for professional practice in communication disorders. Use will be made of audiovisual materials, anatomic models and laboratory instrumentation to enhance students' learning.
FIELD, CLINICAL AND/OR    LABORATORY EXPERIENCES:
 Each student must undergo an auditory screening in the Murray State University Diagnostic and Remediation Center. This evaluation must be completed prior to the last week of classes, with the results reported to the instructor by the Clinic Coordinator. Students who fail to complete this requirement will receive a grade of "I" for the course. Registration for auditory screenings will be announced in class during the term.
RESOURCES:
 Assigned readings, facilities of the MSU Diagnostic and Remediation Center, audio, video and textual resources in the Communication Disorders materials room and the Waterfield Library, College of Education ATCOM Laboratory and the speech science laboratories of the Division of Communication Disorders. 
GRADING PROCEDURES:
 
 Student learning will be evaluated through a series of scheduled and unscheduled Performance Events: Scheduled assessments will include four one-hour examinations (100 points) and a Final Examination (200 points, comprehensive). All scheduled assessment events will be objective examinations (multiple choice, T/F, fill-in-the-blank, brief sentence, etc.). The one-hour examinations will emphasize recent information, but may also include materials from earlier assessments when deemed appropriate by the instructor. Scores on scheduled performance events will constitute 90% of the student's course grade. A number of unannounced quizzes will also be given during the term, and scores on these quizzes will constitute 10% of the overall course grade. Credit for missed quizzes will not be allowed for any reason.   Supplemental Credit: With prior arrangement, students may submit an essay or an anatomical model whose score may be used to replace that of the student's lowest one-hour examination. These projects should be of appropriate quality as to meet Portfolio Expectations for the CDI program. Project preparation, submission and scoring guidelines .   Points earned in course assessments will be transformed to percentage values and the departmental grading scale will be used to determine the student's final grade.       A=90%-100%, B=80-89%, C=70-79%, D=60-69%, E=0-59% 
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
 Class attendance and participation are required and will influence the final grade. This course is a scheduled activity: Students are expected to schedule all other activities for non-class times.
ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY:
 Any instance of academic dishonesty will result in a score of zero for the task in question.
