2. These are for non-science majors. – Meet transfer and program requirements for a science with lab. – Some nursing programs require BI102. Science majors (Biology, Zoology, Botany, Wildlife Management, etc.), Pre-med (planning on med school) and Pre-Pharmacy should be in BI211, 212, 213. – Pre/co-requisite: Must have completed CH121 or 221 with a C or better or be currently enrolled. – Also recommend some background in Biology (like H.S. Bio or at least one 100 level Bio here.) BI101, 102 & 103

6.  Identify basic animal tissue types and give their functions.  Diagram and label the parts of the following several systems in humans (other animals covered in less depth).  Use an example to explain how organ systems and tissues interact to sustain internal homeostasis in the face of a variable environment.  Relate the structure of the parts of several animals systems to the overall function of those systems.  Describe the sequence of changes in embryonic and fetal development of animals with emphasis on humans.  Diagram and label the basic structure of a vascular plant  List and describe the structure and function of basic plant tissue types.  Relate the structure of plants and plant tissue to the overall function of a plant.  Correlate observations made in natural settings (field trips) with the structure and function of evolutionary adaptations that allow plants and animals to maintain homeostasis. Objectives of the Class

7.  Your grade will be determined by your overall performance on a series of assessments including laboratory work, class activities, exams, reports, projects, and presentations.  These assessments will evaluate your mastery of course content but also your ability to use the scientific method of inquiry and critical thinking skills. Evaluation

8. The grading scale is a standard, firm scale as follows Grading and Accessing your Grade ACCESSING YOUR GRADE THROUGHOUT THE TERM: When you would like to see your grade email me and ask to see your grade report.

9.  A variety of assignments will be given throughout the course including homework, quizzes, and other projects related to the course. Quizzes may be announced or unannounced. http://jfriel.wikispaces.com/BI103 Course Assignments

10.  Exams consist of multiple-choice, short answer and essay questions based on lecture material.  The exams are not cumulative with the exception of certain concepts that will be emphasized throughout the course (e.g., the scientific method). Exams

11.  Attendance is expected, although points are not allotted for attendance.  Attendance will be monitored, late assignments will not be accepted, and repeated absences are very likely to significantly affect your grade as well as your learning.  You are responsible for all material, announcements, and assignments provided in class whether you are present or not. Attendance

12.  Punctuality is crucial. Late assignments are generally not accepted with the exception of certain circumstances (e.g., illness, emergency) or with Late Pass.  Assignments are due at the beginning of the specified class session (unless otherwise noted) and are considered late thereafter.  You will be given one late pass per term, you cannot use other’s passes. Punctuality

Academic Integrity

16.  Expectations  Student Services Read Through

17.  Based on exercises in the lab packet.  Students will work in groups in lab and cooperation is expected.  Lab exercises will consist of observation and / or experimental work.  Critical thinking skills will be essential and participation in lab activities is mandatory.  Preparation for lab includes reading the lab packet and bringing necessary materials (e.g. textbook, lab packet, etc). Labs

18.  Pre-Lab: Due before the lab begins  Post-Lab: Given to you after you have completed your lab. This will be turned in with your lab packet. You will get zero points if your lab packet is not complete!  Course project: is a chance for you to controversial biotechnologies. A detailed description of the course project will be provided in class. Lab Assignments

19. Field Trip!!!!!  On May 9 th we will go on a mandatory field trip to the coast  More to come  Make sure that date is saved!!
