RELATIONSHIP TO ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND TRANSFERABILITY:
BIOL 182 fulfills 4 of the 7(A.A.) or 8(A.S.) semester hours of credit in the Life/Physical Sciences required for
the A.A. or A.S. degree. BIOL 182 should transfer as part of the General Education Core Curriculum described
in the Illinois Articulation Initiative to other Illinois colleges and universities participating in the IAI. However,
students should consult an academic advisor for transfer information regarding particular institutions. Refer to
the IAI web page for information as well at the www.itransfer.org
COURSE OBJECTIVES:

METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
Instruction will take the form of lecture, discussion, and lab work. Lectures and labs will make extensive use of
visual aids to aid student learning. Lab activities will include use of the microscope, models, animal dissection,
and interactive CD-ROM exercises. While some overlap will naturally occur, lectures will primarily focus on
physiology, while labs will be concerned with anatomical terminology and identification.
METHOD OF EVALUATION:
Lecture exams, lab reports, reading summaries, quizzes and exams
The final grade will be based on the following percentages:
75% of the final grade will be based on the lecture percentage
25% of the final grade will be based on the lab percentage
POLICIES ON PARTICIPATION AND ATTENDANCE:
GRADING
The following is taken from the HCC Catalog and Student Handbook (p.168).
Heartland Community College - Philosophy of Grades
The Heartland Community College grading philosophy grows out of our vision of educational excellence. This common
philosophy provides a framework for each academic division and instructor as they establish their own individual course
grading system, evaluation methods, and course policies using the shared general rubrics for letter grades given below.
Letter grades serve as a vehicle to promote meaningful evaluation of student achievement, to inform students of
academic progress, and, as necessary, to improve student performance, habits, and practices. Using a letter grade as a
prerequisite for subsequent courses means we believe that the grade was assigned through a conscious judgment about
a student's readiness to proceed to more advanced study.
At Heartland, students' academic achievement is measured by their mastery of course objectives and content. We
challenge students to meet these recognized standards of achievement and we assign grades based on their success in
doing so. Simply stated, we believe that the responsibility for academic achievement rests with the student and that
holding students responsible for their learning promotes their academic growth.
Letter Grade Category
A (4.0) This grade represents consistently outstanding performance that demonstrates superior understanding and skillful
use of important course concepts. Performance at this level signifies that the student is extremely well prepared to
continue with more advanced study of the subject.
B (3.0) This grade represents performance significantly beyond the level necessary to achieve the course objectives.
Work is of high quality but not consistently at an outstanding level. Performance at this level signifies that the
student is well prepared to continue with more advanced study of the subject.
C (2.0) This grade represents an acceptable achievement of the course objectives. Performance at this level signifies that
the student is reasonably well prepared to continue with more advanced study of the subject.
D (1.0) This grade represents less than adequate performance. It signifies questionable readiness to proceed with more
advanced study of the subject.
F (0.0) This grade reflects unacceptable performance. The student is not yet ready to proceed with more advanced study
of the subject, and must repeat the course successfully to receive credit.
REQUIRED WRITING AND READING:
In addition to reading the textbook, students are required to read and summarize articles written for health
professionals.
INCOMPLETES:
An incomplete grade may be given to a student who, by the withdrawal date, can reasonably be expected to pass
the course. Incompletes may be granted only when justified by extreme circumstances (e.g., serious illness,
accident, death or serious illness in the immediate family). Incomplete grades are not given for such reasons as
unjustified failure to appear for the final examination. A written agreement, outline the requirements to be met,
must be signed by the instructor and the student. The agreed upon requirements must be completed no later than
the end of the following semester (spring semester for incompletes granted during the fall, and
the following fall for incompletes given during the spring and summer semesters). The instructor will assign a
grade by the agreed upon date, or the incomplete will be changed to an “F” if the requirements are not
completed. (From HCC Syllabus Guidelines)
STUDENT CONDUCT:
Once again, as a courtesy, students should take care not to disrupt the class or distract the teacher with
inappropriate behavior, students who do so will be asked to leave. Students are expected to comply with the
“Student Code of Conduct” printed on p. 168-169 of the Student Handbook. Misconduct by a student is subject
to Student Disciplinary Procedures stated within the Student Handbook.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & PLAGIARISM:
The Heartland Community college policies on academic integrity and/or plagiarism from HCC syllabus
guidelines are quoted below. In this course violations of the policy will automatically result in a “0" on the
assignment and may result in an F for the course.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a fundamental principle of collegial life at Heartland Community College and is essential to the
credibility of the College’s educational programs. Moreover, because grading may be competitive, students who
misrepresent their academic work violate the right of their fellow students. The College, therefore, views any act of
academic dishonest as a serious offense requiring disciplinary measures, including course failure, suspension, and even
expulsion from the College. In addition, an act of academic dishonesty may have unforeseen effects far beyond any
officially imposed penalties.
Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to cheating, aiding or suborning cheating or other acts of
academic dishonesty, plagiarism, misrepresentation of data, falsification of academic records or documents and
unauthorized access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems. Definitions of these violations may
be found in the college catalog.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the presenting of others’ ideas as if they were your own. When you write a paper, create a
project, do a presentation or create anything original, it is assumed that all the work, except for that which is attributed to
another author or creator, is your own. Plagiarism is considered a serious academic offense and may take the following
forms:
 Copying word-for-word from another source and not giving that source credit.
 Paraphrasing the work of another and not giving that source credit.
 Adopting a particularly apt phrase as your own.
 Using an image or a copy of an image without crediting its source.
 Paraphrasing someone else’s line of thinking in the development of a topic as if it were your own.
 Receiving excessive help from a friend or elsewhere, or using another project as if it were your own.
[Adapted from the Modern Language Association’s MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. New York: MLA,
1995: 26]
Note that word-for-word copying is not the only form of plagiarism. The penalties for plagiarism may be severe, ranging
from failure on the particular piece of work, failure in the course or expulsion from school in extreme cases.
