Textbooks: Textbook:
Starr, Cecie, Christine A. Evers and Lisa
Starr. 2007. Biology Today and Tomorrow. Thompson -
Brooks/Cole (New York).
You are also required to buy the laboratory manual which is available at the
bookstore. It is entitled Biology 101 Lab Manual and is by Dr. Betty Lou
Smith and Dr. Joan Maloof.
Course
Description: This course is designed to acquaint
students with the processes and properties of living organisms. An
attempt will be made to provide information from a wide variety of biological
areas to covey an understanding of life and life processes. This course
meets General Education requirements for Natural Sciences Group IIIA
Laboratory:
The laboratory is
designed to provide you with a working knowledge of several lecture
topics. Your laboratory grade will be a total of 200 points and will be
one-third of your final grade for the course. You are required to attend
your scheduled laboratory session. If you do not attend lab during the
week, you will not be able to receive credit for that lab. There will be
no make-ups on the lab quizzes. Your lab instructor will discuss the
policies concerning grading and missed sessions.
Goals:
As a result of this
course, students will be able to ask scientific questions of their world, construct
reasonable hypotheses, develop laboratory skills and perform procedures using
basic equipment, demonstrate awareness of specific technology that is used to
carry-out biological investigations and recognize the limitations of the
scientific method.
Assessments
(Exams): There will be a total of four (4) examinations given as
indicated on the course schedule. The final exam will be the fourth exam
and will be non-cumulative. Test questions will be derived from the
lectures, textbook, lab, and class activities. Each exam will consist of
50 multiple-choice test items. In compliance with Salisbury University
regulations, the Provost’s Office will be notified at mid-term of those
students doing less than C work.
Laboratory
Syllabus: Grading Policies: The lab grades
will count as 33.3% of your BIOL 101 grade. Your lab instructor will
discuss with you the specifics of how your lab grade will be determined.
Attendance at lab is mandatory and unexcused absences from lab will result in
lowering your grade.
Laboratory Exercises: The laboratory exercises for each week are listed
in the course schedule.
Determination
of Your Final Grade:
For Lecture:
1. Three
(3) examinations as scheduled, each worth 100 points for a total of 300 points
2. One
(1) final examination worth 100 points
For Laboratory:
1. The lab portion of the course is worth 200 points. The
format of the laboratory quizzes is determined by the lab instructor.
For Entire
Course:
Lecture exams (300 points) + Final Exam (100 points) + Lab (200 points) = 600 points
Grade
Calculation:
A
=
540 to 600 points
B
=
480 to 539 points
C
=
420 to 479 points
D
=
360 to 419 points
F
=
359 points and below.
Attendance
Policy: You are
expected to attend every class. Keep in mind that it is a proven fact
that successful students attend all classes. The ultimate decision for your
education rests on your shoulders, so decide for success. All the
material covered in the text will not be presented in class, so please read the
assigned chapters and be prepared for class.
Make-Up
Exams: Lecture
exams will be made-up only in emergencies due to illness or other appropriate
excuse. In the event that you miss an exam, for whatever reason, notify
the instructor as soon as possible. Make-up exams will be given at a time
and place suitable for both the student and the instructor. A student
missing an exam without an appropriate excuse will receive a grade of zero (0)
for that exam. In any case, see the instructor if you
miss an exam to determine the suitability of the reasons for missing the test.
Academic
Honesty Policy:
The official Salisbury University policy on academic honesty will be strictly
enforced. See the undergraduate catalog for details of the policy.
Assistance:
Each instructor has office hours. Be aware of the announcements for study
sessions. Visit your instructor at the first sign of any
difficulty. We are available to help you. Please be at ease in
asking for assistance. We want you to succeed.
