Catalog Description
BIOL 2107. Biological Principles I. 3-3-4. Prerequisite: CHEM 1211/1211L.
A cellular approach to biology. Topics include cell chemistry, cell structure and function, energy
metabolism and cell differentiation, and techniques used to study them. Laboratories employ
principles of spectrophotometry and differential centrifugation to examine enzyme kinetics,
quantification of protein and subcellular fractionation. For science majors. (Formerly BIOL
2201/2201L).
Academic Integrity Statement
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct,
as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of
Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty, including provisions regarding
plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will
be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or
a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimum
one semester suspension requirement.

Lecture Policies
1.
Regular lecture attendance is essential for success in this class. If you
must miss class, it is your responsibility to get the notes you miss from
another student.
2.
You must study assigned chapters in the textbook and other assigned
readings before the lecture in which they are discussed. At the beginning of each new chapter (starting with chapter 2), a 10-point “prelecture quiz” on the chapter will be given.
3.
Be on time for class. Students who are chronically late may be refused
admission.
4.
Cellular telephones, pagers, and similar devices must be turned off during class.
5.
During lecture, avoid conversation and other disruptions that distract
other students from listening and learning. If you have a question or
comment, direct it to the professor.
Laboratory Policies
1.
Laboratory attendance is required. Unexcused absence from more
than one laboratory period will result in a final grade of “F” for the
quarter, regardless of other work. Approval of absence must be given
by the instructor prior to the lab time. There is no make up for lab work
missed due to unexcused absence. Lab notebooks will not be accepted
for lab exercises not completed.
2.
You must attend the laboratory section in which you are registered.
3.
You must plan to attend laboratory for the full period each week. Students who arrive in lab late or leave lab before being dismissed may not
receive credit for the lab.
4.
Students are required to obey all safety regulations during laboratory, as
published in the laboratory safety handout and posted in the laboratory.
In particular, students are required to purchase and wear safety glasses.
Shorts and sandals are prohibited. Failure to obey safety regulations will
result in a 1 pt deduction from the lab report sheet per offense.
5.
You must prepare for laboratory each week by reading the scheduled exercises. At the beginning of each new lab exercise, a 5-point “pre-lab
quiz” on the exercise will be given.
6.
During the lab exercises, you will record your observations and answer
the questions in the lab workbook. The lab books will be graded for 5
points per lab exercise.

7.
There are two lab exams, each worth 25 points.
Examination and Grading Policies
1.
The grade in this class is determined by the total number of points
earned on examinations and other assigned work as listed below in
“Grade Determination.”
2.
Examinations are closed book. They consist of a combination of multiple
choice, short answer, and essay questions. The material covered on each
exam is listed in the outline below. Exam questions include content from
lectures and textbook readings.
3.
The dates for examinations and other activities are listed below. Please
mark them on your calendar.
4.
The final examination is comprehensive and counts for 100 points for
each student in the class. In addition, if the final examination grade is
higher than one of your midterm lecture exam grades, then the final exam grade will be substituted for the low grade. The final exam will substitute for only one of your midterm grades and only if it is to your advantage in your final grade.
Missed Work (Makeup Policy)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
In general, there is no makeup of missed work, including examinations, laboratory activities, laboratory quizzes, or pre-lecture quizzes.
Absences due to illness or accident (requiring a physician’s care) or
a death in the family: A written request for a makeup, together with a
signed note from the physician or funeral director, must be presented to
the instructor within 24 hours of the missed work.
Absences due to all other reasons, including employment-related absences (such as job or school interviews) or school-related absences
(such as activities in other classes), must be approved at least seven
days in advance by the instructor.
The instructor will verify the reason for the absence. A falsified request
for a makeup will result in full prosecution through the academic court
system and could likely result in suspension or expulsion from the university.
The appropriate format of approved makeup work will be determined by
the instructor and may include a makeup examination, written assignments, or a prorated grade point scaling.
