• 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.)

Syllabus

Access to the Internet BI103 Lab Packet

At bookstore or on class website• Make sure you have it before class on Thursday

this week.• Bring the entire packet to class every day.• It includes Pre-labs which will be graded and must

be completed before you come to lab. Text: Discover Biology, by Singh-Cundy et. al., 5th ed.

Will be used for all three terms this school year.

Here you can find study plans, audio glossary, flashcards, animations and quizzes to help you learn!

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

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

90-100% A 80-89.9% B 70-79.9% C 60-69.9% D Less than 59.9% F

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. I will reply within 1 business day with your current scores.

Course Assignments

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

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

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 HONESTY STATEMENT: http://www.chemeketa.edu/earncertdegree/advising/studyskills/writing/resources/academichonesty/

Learning is built on the fundamental qualities of honesty, fairness, respect and trust. At Chemeketa Community College, academic integrity is a shared endeavor characterized by truth, personal responsibility and high academic standards.

Any violation of academic integrity devalues the individual and the community as a whole.

Academic Integrity

Examples of Plagiarism: Word-for-word copying of work written by

someone else. Failure to give proper credit for ideas, statements

of facts, or conclusions derived by another. Failure to use quotation marks when quoting

directly from another, whether a paragraph, sentence, or phrase.

Close and extended paraphrasing of another work without acknowledging the source.

Academic Integrity

Examples of Cheating Copying another’s work on a test, paper, or project. Using unauthorized materials in an exam or

collaborating on work to be turned in for credit where the instructor disallows such collaboration.

Taking an exam for another student, purposely allowing another student to copy during a test, or providing coursework for another student to turn in as his or her own effort.

Fabricating, falsifying or misrepresenting data or results from experiments, interviews or surveys.

Submitting the same work in more than one class for credit without permission from the instructor.

Academic Integrity

Expectations Student Services

Read Through

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

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.
