COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of BIO 137 & BIO 139, the student can:
1. Explain, basic principles of inorganic and organic chemistry as they apply to
physiological process
2. Describe basic cell structure and physiology,
3
Describe the structure and function of major tissue type,
4. Recognize the complementarity of structure and function,
5. Describe basic metabolic processes of organ systems,
6. Explain the interrelationships between organ systems,
7. Explain the major homeostatic mechanisms utilized in each body system in
response to internal and external environmental changes, and
8. Explain physiological and anatomical mechanisms of common dysfunctions.
GENERAL EDUCATION
COMPETENCIES:
All courses, which fulfill General Education requirements
are required to address the following competencies. The following
also provides examples of how the student will demonstrate
each competency for assessment.
Communicate Effectively
Course objective: The student will read and listen with comprehension, speak and write
clearly using standard English, interact cooperatively with others using both verbal and
non-verbal means and demonstrate information processing through basic computer skills.
Outcome Assessment: Reading skills will be assessed by reading test, quizzes, textbooks,
and scientific journals, and popular literature in preparing assignments. Writing will be
evaluated by examination of student writing assignments, including quizzes, critical
thinking exercises, lab reports and a take home exam. Effective communication will be
assessed through such activities as paired and group activities in lecture and laboratory.
Assessment of computer skills will occur in a number of laboratory exercises and report
preparation.
Think Critically
College QEP Definition: Critical thinking is the practice of the skills of inquiry: to
seek or encounter new knowledge, to analyze and synthesize in response to that
knowledge, and to draw sound conclusions based upon acceptable reasons supported by
objective evidence.
Course objective: The student will demonstrate problem solving through interpreting,
integration of knowledge, analyzing, evaluating and deduction. The student will use
mathematics to organize, analyze, and synthesize data to solve a problem or formulate a
course of treatment.
Outcome Assessment: Assessment of critical thinking will involve observation of
student’s evaluating and explaining results of various lab experiments. The information
gathered will be effectively presented using mathematics and /or various computer skills.
On the take home exam, the student’s ability to analyze information provided, draw
reasonable conclusions and propose a plan of action to correct a problem will be assessed.
Learn Independently
Course objective: The student will use appropriate search strategies and resources to
find evaluate, and use information.
Outcome Assessment: Assessment of independent learning will be measured by tests,
quizzes, writing assignments, by answering “Critical Thinking “ questions for each organ
system and by successful completion of the take home final. The student will demonstrate
making ethical choices by avoiding the penalties of plagiarism.
Examine Relationships in Diverse and Complex Environments
Course objective: The student will demonstrate an awareness of the relationship of the
individual to the biological and physical environment and develop an awareness of self as
an individual member of a multicultural global community.
Outcome Assessment: Assessment of the student’s demonstration of an awareness of the
impact of the internal and external environment upon the human body will occur through
the completion of course assignments. The student will evaluate the obligations of the
health care provider as well as the individual to the local and global community.
POLICIES & PROCEDURES -LECTURE
1.
Attendance - Regular attendance is strongly recommended! The volume of material covered daily and the
dreaded quizzes dictate regular attendance in order to maintain a satisfactory grade.
2.
Absolutely no smoking in classroom or laboratory.
3.
Withdrawal Policy - as stated in current catalog. After mid-term, October 5, 2009 the grade of W will only
be given after individual consideration. You may not withdraw after December 4, 2009.
4.
Grade Policy - Grade scale is on a ten (10) point scale as follows:
90 - 100 = A
80 - 89 = B
70 - 79 = C
60 - 69 = D
Below 60 = E An 89.4 is a B and an 89.5 is an A.
5.
Test and Examination - Make-up exams will NOT be given. You will be allowed to drop one lecture test
grade. Should you need to miss a test that will be the grade dropped. Missing a second test will result in a
grade of zero on that test. A series of quizzes will be averaged to equal a test grade. This grade may not be
used as the drop grade. You will be expected to arrive promptly to take examinations since instructions may
be given before the test that will NOT be repeated for latecomers. Quizzes will not be made up or given to
latecomers.
6.
Lecture Grade - There will be five hour exams, a final exam, and a test grade for the above mentioned
quizzes as well as a grade for the on-line lecture assignments. The final will have a value of 200 points; all
other exams will be valued at 100 points. The average of these grades will make-up seventy-five percent of
the grade for the course. The final average from the laboratory will count twenty-five percent. Lecture test
will consist primarily of objective type questions and some essay questions taken from the text and lecture
material. Reading of text chapters is essential. The student is responsible for ALL the maternal in assigned
chapters. All students must take the 200 point comprehensive final. This score may not be used as the
drop grade.
7.
On-Line Chapter Assignments – Students are required to complete specific on-line assignments from the
website provided with the textbook for each chapter covered. These grades will be averaged and will be
counted as a lecture test grade.
8.
Snow Policy – Please refer to the MCC Schedule for the Snow Policy.
9.
Student Code of Conduct – Students are expected to conform to the Student Code of Conduct. The code is
available at www.kctcs.edu/student/code.htm
POLICIES & PROCEDURES - LABORATORY
1.
You will be given a “Laboratory Safety Handout.” You will be responsible for conducting yourself
according to the procedures outlined in that handout.
2.
Lab work will consist of material taken from the Laboratory Manual and any additional information assigned.
Lab exercises must be read and all review sheets completed before lab.
3.
The student must visit www.mhhe.com/martinseries1 and complete the pre-lab questions before attending a lab.
These assignments will not be accepted if completed after the lab meets. Following the laboratory and before
the next class meeting the student must revisit the web site and complete the post-lab questions. These quiz
points along with a grade for completion of the lab report forms will be counted as a lab test grade.
4.
Lab work may only be submitted if the student attends lab.
5.
There will be five lab exams per semester. Depending on the material covered, they may be written or
practical types. No make-up exams or make-up quizzes will be given. Lab attendance is essential.
Lab grades will be computed as follows:
500 points 5 lab exams
100 points pre and post lab question points & Lab Reports
600 points
TOTAL
Your lab grade will count as 1/4 or 25% of your total BIO 137 grade.
If you have a documented disability and wish to request any type of
accommodation, you are required to register with the Disabilities
Coordinator. Contact Valerie Wolfe, Disability Resource
Coordinator.
