III. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Bio 101 and 102 is a two semester course designed to give the student a basic
understanding of the anatomy, organization and function of the human body. To assist the
student in mastering the subject matter, there will be introductory lectures on the basic
concepts of biochemistry and cell biology before the major topics of the course are dealt
with. These topics include the basic organization of the human body; muscle and bone;
the nervous system (including the special senses); the cardiovascular system; respiration;
digestion; metabolism; excretion; fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance; the endocrine
system; reproduction and genetics. The subject matter will be related to relevant
questions of clinical or health-related importance.
IV. EXAMINATION
There will be bi-weekly exams of equal credit of 100 points. One of the seven exams
with the lowest points will be dropped. Credits earned from lecture contribute 85% of
your total credit for the class and points earned from lab section make up the other 15%.
Self-study may be assigned as extra credits. There will be no makeup tests except under
extenuating circumstances (written document needed to back up your story) and
