Note: This proposal is only to change the course number from BIOL 201 to BIOL 322:
- This will reflect content and depth added since the course was originally designed and taught more than 25 years ago
- This will align it with other 300-level courses with the same prerequisites (e.g. BIOL 308, 310, 312)
- This will align it with other electives for Biology majors and minor (it is currently the only 200-level elective)
No other changes in title, credits, majors/minors, USP/GEP, prerequisites, grading, or frequency are proposed

3.a Instructional delivery methods utilized:
Until 2010 this course was taught only as a traditional lecture / lab course
Starting in 2010 some sections have also been taught in a “web enhanced” format with traditional labs but with
the lecture material presented online.
3.b. MnSCU Course media codes: (Please check all that apply).
Until 2010 this course was taught only as a traditional lecture / lab course and thus had no media code
Starting in 2010 it has also been taught in a “web enhanced” format with traditional labs but with the lecture material
presented online and thus has media code #9 for those sections
4.
Course requirements (papers, lab work, projects, etc.) and means of evaluation.
This has not changed significantly in the past fifteen years. I do not know what it was before that.
Weekly reading assignments
3 to 4 lecture exams
Laboratory exercises
4 to 5 laboratory exams
Group discussions
Cumulative final exam
B. Rationale for each of the changes proposed.
This course was designed with its current title and number sometime prior to 1982 (that’s the earliest documentation I can find)
for majors in many different areas including Biology, Nursing, and what has now become HERS, PESS,and CLS. There was
also a separate physiology course. When a combined Anatomy and Physiology sequence (Biology 211& 212) was introduced
in 1992 for Nursing, [HERS], [PESS], and [CLS], this course continued to be offered primarily for Biology majors. In
subsequent years, prerequisites and content were modified to increase the content and depth of the course, but it’s number was
never changed to reflect this.
For at least the past fifteen years this course has been taught at the 300-level despite its number, which this change will correct.
It will also align this course with other 300-level courses with the same prerequisites (e.g. BIOL 308, 310, 312), and it will
no longer be the only 200-level elective for Biology majors and the Biology minor.
C. Impact of this Course on other Departments, Programs, Majors, or Minors
1. Does this course increase or decrease the total credits required by a major or minor of any other department? If
so, which department(s)?
No. The number of credits will not change, and its application to majors and minor will not change.
2. List the department(s), if any, which have been consulted about this proposal.
This course is an elective for the Biochemistry (CHBC) major. The department of Chemistry has been consulted about this
change.
D. Describe impacts of this proposal on the University Studies Program.
This course is, and will remain, part of the Natural Science category of the University Studies Program. Because of its multiple
prerequisites, it is not part of the General Education Program.
Attach an Approval Form with appropriate signatures.

FINANCIAL AND STAFFING DATA SHEET
(yes, we know that this sheet is technically not necessary for a revised course)
Course _BIOL 201 to BIOL 322_____
Include a Financial and Staffing Data Sheet with any proposal for a new course, new program, or revised program.
Please answer the following questions completely. Provide supporting data.
1.
Would this course or program be taught with existing staff or with new or additional staff? If this course would be taught by
adjunct faculty, include a rationale.
This course will continue to be taught with existing staff, as it has been for at least the past 20 years.
2.
What impact would approval of this course/program have on current course offerings? Please discuss number of sections of
current offerings, dropping of courses, etc.
This change in course number will not impact any other course offerings. It will continue to be offered at the
same intervals as it was with the old number and will be required or elective in the same programs.
3.
What effect would approval of this course/program have on the department supplies? Include data to support expenditures for
staffing, equipment, supplies, instructional resources, etc.
Since this course has been offered for more than twenty years, changing its number will not have any
effect on department staffing, equipment, supplies, or other resources.
