BIOLOGY 1010 COURSE SYLLABUS FALL 2012
COURSE DESCRIPTION
General Biology (BIO 1010) is a four credit Biological Science course developed primarily for nonscience majors. The course consists of a lecture component (three hours each week) and a laboratory
session (three hours each week). The time commitment on your part, therefore, is the same as if you had
enrolled in TWO three-credit courses. At the end of the semester, ONE GRADE IS GIVEN based on
your performance in BOTH lecture and laboratory.

STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS:
For success in the lecture portion of this course:
• BEFORE we go over the material in class, complete the assigned reading in the textbook.
• WHILE we are going over the material in class, fill in all the blanks in the Biology 101 study guide
(Human Biology: Condensed) and take comprehensive notes on three-hole punched paper.
• REVIEW all the above assigned materials and rewrite your notes in your own words, after we have
covered each topic in class.
• INSERT re-written notes into the appropriate location in the BIO 101 study guide. When preparing for
an exam, concentrate on the information presented in the study guide and your class notes.
For success in the laboratory portion of this course:
• BEFORE you come to lab, read the assigned laboratory exercise in Thinking About Biology.
• WHILE we are in lab, get checked off for all activities and take comprehensive notes.
• Complete the Self Test and review the above materials at home, after you have completed each lab
exercise. When preparing for a lab quiz, concentrate on the information presented in the lab manual and
what we did in class.
CLASS PARTICIPATION
There will be graded homework assignments, class discussions, and non-graded, optional
homework assignments. To be successful, you must keep up with the assigned readings and be prepared
to discuss them in class.
If you allow yourself to fall behind, it will be very difficult to catch up again. You are expected to read
the assigned lecture AND laboratory material BEFORE the class meets and to be prepared to discuss the
material in class.
**Note: At the end of each laboratory period, we will have a class discussion summarizing the main
points covered that day.**
Students will not be allowed to leave lab early without permission. Should you choose to do
so without permission, you will be marked absent for that laboratory session. YOU WILL NOT
BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE QUIZ OR TURN IN THE HOMEWORK ON THE
MISSED SUBJECT MATTER THE FOLLOWING LAB PERIOD.
COURSE ASSESSMENT
The final course grade is determined based on 780 possible points. The exact number of points needed
for a particular grade is listed at the bottom of the attached Grade Record Sheet.
In order to be successful in this course, you must be able to demonstrate your comprehension by
explaining course concepts in your own words and apply your knowledge to new situations. Exams will
include objective questions in a variety of formats. There will also be several essay questions and
problem solving opportunities on each examination.
All lecture and laboratory exams (except the lecture final) will be returned to you. Exams are a learning
experience. It is important to go over the exams and correct your misconceptions. The course material is
cumulative in that comprehension of subjects later in the course hinges on your understanding of earlier,
foundation concepts. If you need clarification on something you missed on the exam, or didn't understand
during your studying, please ask me about it.
LECTURE EXAMS = 400 POINTS
There will be four lecture exams, each worth 100 points. Each exam will include several essay
questions. For example, you will be required to explain basic concepts, define terms, read and draw
graphs, and demonstrate your expertise in data analysis and interpretation.
** NOTE: LECTURE AND LABORATORY MAKE-UP EXAMS ARE NOT GIVEN.**
It is YOUR responsibility to contact me within 24 hours of a missed exam. A missed exam without a
VALID DOCUMENTED EXCUSE is an AUTOMATIC FAILURE of the exam.
Since additional time is needed to formulate answers to problem solving and concept based questions, all
lecture exams (except the final exam) will be administered by the Campus Assessment Center located
in Bladen 100.
At the Campus Assessment Center, there is no time limit for exams, however, make sure you allow
yourself plenty of time to take each exam. The testing center picks papers up fifteen minutes before
closing. Make sure you check the Center hours and adjust your schedule accordingly.
Campus Assessment Center: (301) 322-0090
Operating Hours for Fall 2012:
8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Monday through Thursday
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Friday
9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Saturday
LECTURE EXAMS WILL NOT BE GIVEN DURING CLASS TIME.
YOU ARE NOT EXCUSED FROM REGULARLY SCHEDULED CLASSES TO TAKE EXAMS
AT THE CAMPUS ASSESSMENT CENTER.
EACH EXAM WILL BE AT THE ASSESSMENT CENTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE DATES
FOR ALL EXAMS WILL BE ANNOUNCED WELL IN ADVANCE.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS = 80 POINTS
Throughout the semester you will turn in eight lecture homework assignments to be graded. The
assignments will be done cooperatively (by small groups of students) and you can earn a total of 10
points per assignment.
LECTURE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE DONE IN GROUPS. NO INDIVIDUAL
PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED!
EACH PERSON IN YOUR GROUP SHOULD KEEP A COPY OF THE COMPLETED
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT (AND BE READY TO TURN IT IN IF NECESSARY).
ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE NEAT, CLEARLY LEGIBLE, AND STAPLED.
Homework assignments are due at the BEGINNING of the class period. Note for late-arriving students:
papers will NOT BE ACCEPTED more than FIVE MINUTES after the class period begins!
LATE PAPERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. No exceptions will be made for traffic snarls, car
breakdowns, illness, etc. To avoid late papers from last minute problems, you are encouraged to turn in
homework assignments BEFORE THE DUE DATE. Give me the papers or deliver them to my mailbox
in CHESAPEAKE HALL ROOM 100.
LABORATORY QUIZES = 300 POINTS
There will be eight laboratory quizzes, each worth 50 points. Quizzes will be given during regularly
scheduled laboratory sessions. The two lowest quiz grades will be dropped.
Lab quizzes will cover all aspects of laboratory exercises including equipment and methods used,
practical demonstrations of knowledge (such as locating and identifying body organs), and
comprehension of basic concepts (such as being able to explain the function of each organ, or how a
microscope works).
COMPLETED ASSIGNMENTS
All completed assignments (except the final exam) will be returned to you.
It is YOUR responsibility to SAVE all graded papers until you receive final grade in the course. In case
of a discrepancy between my recorded grades and your recollection of your grade, you MUST be able to
show me the graded paper before I can correct errors in my records.
Q GRADES
Students are expected to attend and participate in class activities. Students who either never attended the
class or who ceased attendance during the first 20 percent of the course will be assigned a “Q” grade by
the instructor. The Q grade is a final grade and will not be replaced with a different grade at a later time.
Although the Q grade will not impact students’ GPA, the issuance of a Q grade will likely decrease
students’ financial aid awards.
DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES
Students requesting academic accommodations are required to contact the Disability Support Services Office (M-1042) or call
(301) 322-0838 (voice) or (301) 322-0122 (TTY) to establish eligibility for services and accommodations. Students with
documented disabilities should discuss the matter privately with their instructors at the beginning of the semester and provide a
copy of their Student/Faculty Accommodation Form.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The Prince George's Community College Code of Conduct defines the rights and responsibilities of students and establishes a
system of procedures for dealing with students charged with violations of the code and other rules and regulations of the
college. A student enrolling in the college assumes an obligation to conduct himself/herself in a manner compatible with the
college's function as an educational institution. Refer to the current Student Handbook chapter on Procedures and Policies, for a
complete explanation of the code of conduct, including the procedure for dealing with disruptive student behavior.
CODE OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The college is an institution of higher learning that holds academic integrity as its highest principle. In the pursuit of
knowledge, the college community expects that all students, faculty, and staff will share responsibility for adhering to the
values of honesty and unquestionable integrity. To support a community committed to academic achievement and scholarship,
the Code of Academic Integrity advances the principle of honest representation in the work that is produced by students
seeking to engage fully in the learning process. The complete text of the Code of Academic Integrity is in the current Student
Handbook and posted on the college's website.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
The College has a strict policy on academic dishonesty (for details, see the Student Handbook). Simply
put, academic dishonesty will NOT be tolerated. AN ACT OF CHEATING WILL RESULT IN A
GRADE OF ZERO BEING ASSIGNED TO THE WORK. ANY REPEATED INCIDENT WILL
RESULT IN A COURSE GRADE OF "F."
Cheating includes putting someone's name on a group assignment when that person has not fully
participated in the group work. Cheating also includes plagiarism. Answers to all questions must be
written in your own words.
COPYING DIRECTLY OUT OF A TEXT, CLASS HANDOUT, OFF THE INTERNET, OR
FROM OTHER REFERENCES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! THIS INCLUDES SLIGHTLY
REARRANGING THE WORDS SO THAT THEY ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE
SOURCE!
PLEASE NOTE
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all lectures and laboratory classes. In the event that an
emergency occurs, you are responsible for all work assigned during your absence.
Students are not permitted to bring children into the laboratory with them. Pagers and cell phones
should be silenced while in the classroom and the lab.
