COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students desiring to enroll in this course must have successfully completed a
4-credit, 300 level Biology course with lab and CHM 303 or received special permission
from the chairperson. This course focuses on an analysis of the human body’s internal
environment. Topics include the nature of biological control systems, and the properties
of the major specialized cell types, which comprise these systems, and the functioning of
the organs of the body and their coordination. The lab will explore by experimental
techniques with living specimens the functioning of various cell-tissue-organ systems of
particular physiological interest.
GRADING:
The student's final grade will be determined as follows:
| LECTURE EXAMS: |
60% |
| LAB. EXAMS: |
40% |
|
100% |
The lecture will contain at least 3 exams , a final exam, quizzes and a term paper.
The lab will contain a midterm, final and quizzes. Attendance is required in both lecture
and lab. A dissection kit and lab coat are required for lab. IT IS THE POLICY OF THE
DEPARTMENT NOT TO OFFER MAKE-UP EXAMS OR QUIZZES
