I. PHILOSOPHY/GOALS:

The Biology course deals with the structure and function of thehuman body.

This course also includes common stimuli which affect thestructure and function of our bodies as well as our adaptiveresponses, which enable us to maintain a relatively constantstate.

Understanding the human body and how it reacts to variousstimuli will enable the student to relate this knowledge to thepractice of nursing.

II. STUDENT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will:

1. Describe biological adaptation in relation to the structureand function of the human body for the selected systems.

a) Describe theb) Describe thec) Describe the

human body.d) Describe specified changes that occur

2. Explain the concept of biological adaption.

a) Discuss some common biological stimuli that impinge uponthe human body.

b) Explain the concept of adaptation using examples from thebiological mode.

c) Describe some variables that influence biologicalresponses.

d) Illustrate some adaptive and/or ineffective biologicalresponses to specified stimuli.

e) Describe how an individual maintains and promotesbiological adaptation.

v. EVALUATION METHODS: (INCLUDES ASSIGNMENTS, ATTENDANCEREQUIREMENTS, ETC.)

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT (GRADING METHOD):

please note that a pass in Biologyis a "C".

If you are unable to attend class for a test, you MUST contactthe Health Sciences Office (759-2554, Ext. of teacher) beforethe test. If the test is at 0830 hours you must contact theoffice before 0900 hours. If you fail to phone in, you willreceive a mark of zero for that test.

Students who miss scheduled tests during the semester will notbe allowed to write on another day. They will be allowed totake up the test with the other students.

If the teacher has been notified of your absence for the test,the test you missed will count for the same percentage as youreceive on the final exam

Each student MUST write both the diagram test and the finalexam.

2. Excellent attendance (80% or better) will be used to improveborderline marks. (eg: 59, 69, 79, 89)

3. TERM WORK: Unit TestsDiagram Test

Final Exam

Final mark = Your mark out of a possible 400 = %4

YOUR MARK

Keep track of all your own test marks so that you may calculateyour own term mark and be constantly aware of your progress.

5. Extra handouts may be given out during class time. If you areabsent, make sure you ask someone to pick up the handout foryou. Handouts will not be available after class or on otherdays.

6. Some class hours will be designated as self-study hours. These hourswill be determined at the beginning of the school year.

7. Supplemental Examinations

A supplemental examination may be offered in this course atthe discretion of the teacher subject to the followingcriteria:

a) The student must have attended at least 60% of the biologyclasses. ---

b) The student must have received at least 50% on the diagramtest as well as the final examination. The entire semester'scourse material will be tested.

c) The student must have written at least two (2) of the four (4)tests and achieved a passing grade of 60% in each.

d) Multiple choice questions, short answer questions and diagrams tobe labelled will be used in the supplemental examination.

e) The final grade for the semester will be based solely onthe supplemental eKamination but the grade achieved willnot be higher than a "C". The term mark will not beaveraged in with the supplemental examination mark.
