TRANSCRIPT
• These are for non-science majors.– Meet transfer and program requirements for a science
with lab.– Some nursing programs require BI102.
• Science majors (Biology, Zoology, Botany, Wildlife Management, etc.), Pre-med (planning on med school) and Pre-Pharmacy should be in BI211, 212, 213.– Pre/co-requisite: Must have completed CH121 or 221
with a C or better or be currently enrolled.– Also recommend some background in Biology (like H.S.
Bio or at least one 100 level Bio here.)
BI101, 102 & 103

Syllabus
Access to the Internet BI103 Lab Packet
At bookstore or on class website• Make sure you have it before class on Thursday
this week.• Bring the entire packet to class every day.• It includes Pre-labs which will be graded and must
be completed before you come to lab. Text: Discover Biology, by Singh-Cundy et. al., 5th ed.
Will be used for all three terms this school year.

Here you can find study plans, audio glossary, flashcards, animations and quizzes to help you learn!
Identify basic animal tissue types and give their functions. Diagram and label the parts of the following several systems in
humans (other animals covered in less depth). Use an example to explain how organ systems and tissues interact
to sustain internal homeostasis in the face of a variable environment.
Relate the structure of the parts of several animals systems to the overall function of those systems.
Describe the sequence of changes in embryonic and fetal development of animals with emphasis on humans.
Diagram and label the basic structure of a vascular plant List and describe the structure and function of basic plant tissue
types. Relate the structure of plants and plant tissue to the overall
function of a plant. Correlate observations made in natural settings (field trips) with
the structure and function of evolutionary adaptations that allow plants and animals to maintain homeostasis.
Objectives of the Class
Your grade will be determined by your overall performance on a series of assessments including laboratory work, class activities, exams, reports, projects, and presentations.
These assessments will evaluate your mastery of course content but also your ability to use the scientific method of inquiry and critical thinking skills.
Evaluation
90-100% A 80-89.9% B 70-79.9% C 60-69.9% D Less than 59.9% F
The grading scale is a standard, firm scale as follows
Grading and Accessing your Grade
ACCESSING YOUR GRADE THROUGHOUT THE TERM:When you would like to see your grade email me and ask to see your grade report. I will reply within 1 business day with your current scores.

Course Assignments
Exams consist of multiple-choice, short answer and essay questions based on lecture material.
The exams are not cumulative with the exception of certain concepts that will be emphasized throughout the course (e.g., the scientific method).
Exams
Attendance is expected, although points are not allotted for attendance.
Attendance will be monitored, late assignments will not be accepted, and repeated absences are very likely to significantly affect your grade as well as your learning.
You are responsible for all material, announcements, and assignments provided in class whether you are present or not.
Attendance
Punctuality is crucial. Late assignments are generally not accepted with the exception of certain circumstances (e.g., illness, emergency) or with Late Pass.
Assignments are due at the beginning of the specified class session (unless otherwise noted) and are considered late thereafter.
You will be given one late pass per term, you cannot use other’s passes.
Punctuality
ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT: http://www.chemeketa.edu/earncertdegree/advising/studyskills/writing/resources/academichonesty/
Learning is built on the fundamental qualities of honesty, fairness, respect and trust. At Chemeketa Community College, academic integrity is a shared endeavor characterized by truth, personal responsibility and high academic standards.
Any violation of academic integrity devalues the individual and the community as a whole.
Academic Integrity
Examples of Plagiarism: Word-for-word copying of work written by
someone else. Failure to give proper credit for ideas, statements
of facts, or conclusions derived by another. Failure to use quotation marks when quoting
directly from another, whether a paragraph, sentence, or phrase.
Close and extended paraphrasing of another work without acknowledging the source.
Academic Integrity
Examples of Cheating Copying another’s work on a test, paper, or project. Using unauthorized materials in an exam or
collaborating on work to be turned in for credit where the instructor disallows such collaboration.
Taking an exam for another student, purposely allowing another student to copy during a test, or providing coursework for another student to turn in as his or her own effort.
Fabricating, falsifying or misrepresenting data or results from experiments, interviews or surveys.
Submitting the same work in more than one class for credit without permission from the instructor.
Academic Integrity
Expectations Student Services
Read Through
Based on exercises in the lab packet. Students will work in groups in lab and
cooperation is expected. Lab exercises will consist of
observation and / or experimental work.
Critical thinking skills will be essential and participation in lab activities is mandatory.
Preparation for lab includes reading the lab packet and bringing necessary materials (e.g. textbook, lab packet, etc).
Labs
Pre-Lab: Due before the lab begins
Post-Lab: Given to you after you have completed your lab. This will be turned in with your lab packet. You will get zero points if your lab packet is not complete!
Course project: is a chance for you to controversial biotechnologies. A detailed description of the course project will be provided in class.
