Let’s Look at the Syllabus Enrollment A Course for Freshman Biology/Biochem Majors/Minors This is NOT an LAC course—drop then add something else You should also be registered for: (add if not transferred) Math 155, 243, 216 (or as placed by exam, not Math 135!) Chemistry 210 and 212 (unless completed already) English 100 (unless completed already) HPE 104/108 etc. - needed in 1st 60 credits On your note-card: Write in the CHE you are taking now or write NONE Write in the CHE you have completed on your transcript

Let’s Look at the Syllabus Objectives Structure and Function of Organisms Experience in Modern Phylogeny (Cladistics) Hands-on Experience with Living Organisms Study of Diverse Solutions to Common Problems Obtaining minerals and water Obtaining energy and food Exchanging Gases Transporting materials Maintaining temperature Chemical Signaling Reproduction Environmental Sensing Movement Etc.! Reinforce Experimental Approach and Writing in Biology

Let’s Look at the Syllabus Participation Variables

Let’s Look at the Syllabus Participation Variables Completion of Comp Exam THIS WEEK! In-Semester Lab Skills demonstrations Plickers questions correctly answered Attendance-reliability Attitude-positive Attention-in and out of class Staying on-task and on-topic Engaged in class discussions Effective and contributing team member Bringing required materials to class Arriving on-time always Never using a cell-phone for talking or texting during class Never leaving lecture for a bathroom break (go before class and hold it until after class!)

Let’s Look at the Syllabus Participation Eastern Catalog: Study/Work at home is expected Two hours of work at home for every one hour in class Calculations of homework expectations: 3 hours lecture per week make 6 hours of homework 3 hours laboratory per week make 6 hours of homework You are expected to do 12 hours of homework each week! YES…12 (twelve) hours per week! In particular, lab worksheets and writing projects are NOT designed to be completed within class time! Welcome to College!

Let’s Look at the Syllabus Participation Commuting Students There is no special treatment for commuting students Is your vehicle reliable? Are your tires capable of driving in snow? Is there a family member who can drive you for “Plan B” Do you have a “Plan C” carpool with other students in town? Are you a courageous driver in snow, sleet, ice, pouring rain? Parking is limited on our campus…arrive early to find a spot Plan on walking time from your parking spot to class Hand in papers before a deadline to avoid late penalties!! Especially if foul weather is forecast! 20

Let’s Look at the Schedule Headings Tentative Syllabus: subject to change: watch website! Dates: as currently planned, subject to change Writing Assignments: orange highlights Lab Pre-lab or Worksheets: yellow highlights Lecture Topics will be links to lecture notes on website Readings: Portions of the textbook you need to read before class Laboratory Exercises: Print out if you have lost yours! Note: No Hour-Exams (just weekly quizzes) Note: Laboratory Skills Final in Final Exam Week Note: Final Exam during Final Exam Week
