FA124 Course Syllabus
Section 1: Course Information
Faculty Information
Please see the Faculty Contact Information and Office Hours forum under the “Communications” tab for faculty contact information and office hours.
Course Description
This course provides an in-depth study of the concepts of the science of pathology for graduate nursing students. It will cover the physiological
causes and development of diseases, the functional and secondary changes they cause, their course, complications, and appropriate treatments.
Specific examples of disease states throughout the lifespan will be evaluated. The course will treat all levels of pathology, from molecular to cellular,
tissue, organ, and organ systems, emphasizing the role of homeostasis and the ensuing disturbances that lead to disease conditions.
Course Modality
Online, asynchronous
Credits
3 credit hours
Online Course Hour Requirements
Please note that federal regulation defines a credit hour as an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence
of student achievement that is an institutional established equivalence that reasonably approximates not less than:
1. One hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week for approximately 15
weeks for one semester or trimester hour of credit, or ten to 12 weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over
a different amount of time; or
2. At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the
institution including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.
16-Week Online Course
Federal regulations acknowledge the unique circumstance of “class time” in the online learning environment. This course meets the requirements
for a 3-credit graduate course delivered over a 16-week period of time.
For this 16-week course, students will engage in various weekly asynchronous activities on MyOnline Moodle (projects, videos, threaded
discussions) and cooperative peer-project activities at a minimum of 3-hours weekly asynchronous engagement (48 hours). Students should expect
to devote 6 additional hours per week reading, writing, collaborating, and preparing assignments for this 16-week course (96 hours).

Required Technology, Equipment, and Other Course Materials
Students will need regular access to a computer with an Internet connection. High speed broadband access (LAN, cable, or DSL) is highly
recommended for an optimal learning experience. You may be able to access and interact with most course elements, readings, multimedia, and
discussions through tablets and smartphones. While tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices may allow for some completion of coursework,
they are not guaranteed to work in all areas. Please ensure you have a PC or Mac-based computer available to complete coursework.
In addition, students should have the latest version of several plugins including Adobe Reader and Java. An Internet browser (Chrome, Safari,
Firefox) is required to access MyOnline Moodle, the learning management system used in this course, as well as a compatible operating system
(PC: Windows 8 or 10; Mac: OS X). In most courses, students are required to have a webcam (or external camera) and microphone to record video
for assignments and discussions. Finally, students will need word processing software (Microsoft 365 is available to all Regis students).
Many of the Nursing courses require the use of Respondus LockDown Browser and a webcam for online exams. The webcam can be built into your
computer or can be the type that plugs in with a USB cable. Watch the short LockDown Browser (2:57) video to get a basic understanding of
LockDown Browser and the webcam feature. A student Quick Start Guide (PDF) is also available.
