_____________________________________________________________
PURPOSE
of COURSE:
As described in the college catalog, BI 122 is the second half of a two
semester course. It is a
structural and functional approach to the human organism with an emphasis on
circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and
reproductive systems. This course
content also includes water, electrolyte,
and acid-base balance, as
well as human growth and development.
It meets most general education requirements for biology and is required
for medically related fields such as nursing, dental hygiene, physical therapy,
occupational therapy, physician assistant, etc. Three hours lecture, two hours of lab per week in a regular
semester. Lab fee is
required.
PREREQUISITES:
As described in the college catalog, students must have
earned a grade of ÒCÓ or better in BI 121.
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance
will be recorded every day. I
expect you to come to class on time.
There is no such thing as an EXCUSED absence. No matter what the reason,
if you are absent, you are marked absent.
Please do not phone me to tell me why you were absent. If you are absent, it is your responsibility
to make up any material we covered from one of your classmates. After being absent for more than
twice the number of class meetings per week in lecture OR lab, you may be
dropped from the course. For
example, in a lecture that meets 3 days per week, you may be dropped on your
7th absence. In a lab that meets 2
days per week, you may be dropped on your 3rd absence. Finally, I have no responsibility whatsoever to anyone who
chooses to take a personal vacation at any time during the term.
TESTING:
Testing will take place at regular intervals throughout
the course. Tests may vary in
length and a variety of questions may be used such as fill in the blank,
multiple choice, short answer, and essay.
Tests will be graded and returned in class for review. After review, all grades are final - no
regrading. Your instructor retains
tests and answer sheets. No
electronic dictionaries of any kind are allowed to be used during tests.
My expectations for your performance on written tests are
as follows:
Fill
in the Blank.
Write clearly.
If I can not read it, then it will be marked wrong. Misspelled terms receive half
credit.
Short
Answer.
One or two word answers receive no
credit. Your responses must be in
complete sentences. A good answer
is short, focused, and directly answers the question.
Multiple Choice.
Using a no.2 pencil, you must fill in the correct bubble
on your computer graded sheet. It
should be filled in lightly in case you want to erase
If your answer is incorrect because you filled it out
incorrectly or did not erase properly, then it remains wrong and will not be
regarded.
Essay.
Each
essay is worth a total of 15 points.
A well written essay will typically take up the length of one full
page. Even so, focus on quality rather than quantity. All essays will typically focus on physiological
mechanism. You will be asked to explain this
mechanism in detail. Be very
complete and very thorough. Organize your thoughts before you start writing. In addition to the proper structure,
you will be graded most heavily on the content of your essay. Write it was if you are explaining it
to another student for the first time.
Essays
must be in the following proper format:
¥ Paragraph format, complete sentences.
¥ Indent each paragraph.
¥ Minimum
of three paragraphs in length.
Essays will
be graded as either +0, +5, +10, or +15.
In order to earn 15 points you must:
¥ follow the proper format described above.
¥ write an organized, complete,
descriptive analytical essay that goes beyond merelylisting steps in a process.
¥ explain all the ÒhowÓ and the ÒwhyÓ questions in the mechanism
¥ use the correct terminology (as needed).
A reduction to 10 points means you probably failed
to do one or more of the following:
¥ use the proper format.
¥ use the correct terminology (as
needed).
¥ describe the physiological
mechanism in sufficient detail
¥ explain all of the how and the why questions clearly
¥ correctly respond to everything
asked of you in the essay
A reduction to 5 points means you probably failed
to do one or more of the items listed above (10 point category) AND:
¥ write at least one fully
completed paragraph.
¥ poor effort.
A reduction to 0 points means you:
¥ wrote nothing more than a few
sentences at most and gave a very poor effort.
The last test in lecture is a partial final exam. Approximately 50% of the material will
be new while the other 50% will be comprehensive in CONCEPTUAL THEMES
that laced themselves throughout the course. You already have a study guide for this at the front of your
lecture outline.
___________________________________________________________
MAKE-UP TESTS:
There will be no make-up test given except in proven
emergency situations. In the event of such an emergency, you
MUST contact me the SAME DAY that the test has been given to schedule
arrangements for a make-up time or you forfeit your opportunity to get a
make-up. In order to do this, call my office
phone (234-4250)
and leave a message on my voicemail if I am not in at that time. If the test is missed without excuse,
you will be given a zero (0). The format
of the make-up test is left to instructor's discretion. It could be the same format as a
regular exam or it could be all essay or even an oral exam. All make-up tests will be given
the last week of classes at the end of the semester. No test re-takes are allowed.
COMPLAINT PROCEDURE:
In the event that you have a problem in this course,
please make every effort to resolve the problem with your instructor
first. If you are unable to
resolve it at this level, you should follow the proper protocol in the order
given below:
1) Mr. Paul Krieger, Professor of Biology, 234-4250.
2) Dr. Jerome Drain, Department Head of Biological Sciences, 234-3983
3) Ms. Cindy Martin, Assistant Dean, Arts &
Sciences, 234-4406
4) Dr. Rick Olsen, Dean of Arts & Sciences,
234-3804
OFFICE VISIT:
All
students are encouraged to come to my office. Office hours are intended to help you get your questions
answered and/or for us to get to know each other better. Feel free to come with one or two other
classmates if this makes you feel more comfortable. Please take advantage of this since it will make your
educational experience more enjoyable!
LETTERS
of RECOMMENDATION:
These are
only given to those I would hire myself.
You need not be an "A+"
student but you need to be an exemplary student in every other way. The serious student has excellent
attendance, does more than the minimum, positively participates in class,
studies on a regular basis, and is always willing to help classmates. She is also responsible, dependable,
ethical, and displays a positive attitude toward learning. These are just a just a few of the
characteristics of a good student.
I am sure you could list many more yourself. In short, do not hesitate to ask me as long as you are a good
student.
EVALUATION:
Your
final grade will be determined as follows:
lecture average (60%) + lab average (40%) = FINAL GRADE.
You will be graded on a point system. At any point in the semester if you
would like to calculate your grade, simply use the following procedure:
1) Add up
your total points earned (E) ex: 160
2) Add up
total points possible (P) ex. 200
3) Divide (E) by (P). ex: 160/200 = 0.8
4)
Multiply the answer in
step #3 by 100 ex. 0.8 x 100 = 80%
5)
Reference grading scale for
letter
grade. ex. 80% = B-
NOTE: SPELLING terms correctly is important. Partial points WILL be deducted on tests for terribly
misspelled terms. Spelling
correctly is especially important in anatomy because one wrong letter can create another term with a
different meaning. For example, ÔabductÕ is the opposite of ÔadductÕ
yet they only
differ by one letter.
_________________________________________
Grading
Scale is as follows for all tests, quizzes, and final grades:
A 100-94 B+ 89-87 C+ 79-77 D+ 69-67 E 59-0
A- 93-90 B 86-83 C 76-73 D
66-63
B- 82-80 C-
72-70 D- 62-60

DROPS/NO SHOWS:
Students
can and will be dropped for poor attendance. At the end of the third week of the semester, the roster
will be cleared of those students who have not attended class. Following this initial drop by the
instructor, students who decide to stop attending class must drop
themselves. If you fail to
drop yourself from the course, the college requires that you be assigned a
grade. If you do not drop
yourself by the withdrawal date, the instructor will be forced to assign you a
final letter grade which will be posted on your permanent college transcript.
CHEATING:
You are
considered to be cheating if you engage in any of the following activities:
¥ Looking at anyone's notes or another student's exam
during a test
¥ Talking during a test
¥ Sharing information with another student about a test
after taking it
Cheating is wrong and will not be tolerated. If you are caught cheating you
automatically receive an "E" (0%) for that test and it will be
recommended that you be expelled from the course.
STUDENT CONDUCT:
¥ Do not be rude.
¥ Turn off cell phones before entering the room
¥ Follow the Ôgolden ruleÕ: treat others the same way you would like to be treated.
The
instructor reserves the right to permanently remove any student from class who
displays improper conduct either towards the instructor or towards other
students. Improper conduct includes (but is not
limited to): not paying attention and talking throughout the class, using
racial slurs, using profanity, or engaging in intimidating behavior. In short, any behavior that interferes with
the learning process is improper conduct.
Typically, the instructor will initially ask the student to stop the
behavior. Then, it will be up to
the student to immediately correct the behavior.
Students
need to come to class on time. If
students get in the bad habit of regularly coming late to class, the instructor
has the right to lock the door. In this
case, late students will not be allowed into the class after the class begins.

INSTRUCTOR'S
MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:
1) Come to
class prepared and on time. I should have a plan for the day's
activity worked out well in advance whether it be a lecture, group activity,
discussion or the like.
2) Return
tests in a timely fashion. A reasonable
time frame for returning tests is NO MORE than one week following the test
date. However, I will do my best
to return all tests/quizzes by the next class meeting.
3) Treat
students with the same respect I expect from them. I encourage student participation in both lecture and
lab. You will not be ridiculed for
asking sincere questions.
STUDENT'S
MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:
1) Come to
class prepared and on time. If you are late, make an effort
not to disrupt either the instructor or the class. If chronic tardiness becomes a problem, the instructor
reserves the right to lock the door. On test
days, come prepared with several no. 2 pencils, pens, erasers and whatever else you may need. If you have the sniffles, bring
tissues. Be self sufficient. I will not provide these items for you.
2) Give
me your full and undivided attention for the entire class period.
3) Be
considerate. Treat me the same way you desire others
to treat you. When you have a
dispute of any kind, be reasonable NOT demanding. If you're in an emotional state, wait until you have calmed
down before approaching me. This
method will always lead to a more successful resolution of any problem. Rude behavior will NOT be
tolerated.
4) Turn off
cell phones before entering class.
5) Accept
responsibility for your own learning. You
are expected to read the textbook and study your notes on a very regular
basis. The average student will
need to spend at least an equal number of hours studying outside class as she
spends in class each week. As
a teacher my role is to facilitate your development as an independent learner. I am not an encyclopedia of facts from
which you get quick answers. Be an
active learner. If you need help, get it EARLY. Don't fall behind.
Point the finger of blame at yourself before pointing it at others. Paying your tuition is like buying a
membership with a health club. If
you refuse to work out regularly, are you going to blame your trainer? Similarly, don't complain if you're not
doing well because you don't study.
6) Keep track
of your own grade. You never need to ask me
what your current grade is since you may access it at any time on GRCCÕs online
system called Blackboard.
For your convenience, space has been provided in this syllabus for you
to keep track of your grades.
PRETTY
GOOD
There once was a pretty good
student
Who sat in a pretty good class
And was taught by a pretty good
teacher,
Who always let pretty good pass.
He wasn't terrific at reading,
He wasn't a whiz-bang at math.
But for him, education was leading,
Straight down a pretty good path.
He didn't find school to be
exciting,
But he wanted to do pretty well,
And he did have some trouble with
writing,
And nobody taught him to spell.
When doing arithmetic problems,
Pretty good was regarded as fine.
Five plus five needn't always add
up to 10,
A pretty good answer was nine.
The pretty good class that he sat
in
Was part of a pretty good school.
And the student was not an
exception;
On the contrary, he was the rule.
The pretty good school that he went
to
Was there in a pretty good town.
And nobody there seemed to notice
He could not tell a verb from a
noun.
The pretty good student in fact was
Part of a pretty good mob.
And the first time he knew what he
lacked was
When he looked for a pretty good
job.
It was then, when he sought a
position,
He discovered that life can be
tough.
And he soon had a sneaking
suspicion
Pretty good might not be
good enough.
The pretty good town in our story
Was part of a pretty good state,
Which had pretty good aspirations
And prayed for a pretty good fate.
There once was a pretty good
nation,
Pretty proud of the greatness it
had,
Which learned much too late,
If you want to be great,
Pretty good was, in fact, pretty
bad.
