Instructional Materials:Biology, Raven and Johnson et al., 9th editionBiology: Concepts and Connections, Campbell, Reece et al., 5th edition

General Course Purpose:

BIO 101This course provides students with an opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge of the principles and living systems and their applications to everyday life. The course is designed for both science and non-science majors. It may serve as a prerequisite for advanced biology courses, a laboratory science (college)graduation requirement, or as transfer credit for a four-year institution.

BIO 102This course is to provide students with an opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge of the principles and living systems and their applications to everyday life. The course is designed for both science and non-science majors. The course may serve as a prerequisite for advanced biology courses, a laboratory science (college) graduation requirement, or as transfer credit for a four-year institution.

Course Credit: BIO 101- 4 credits BIO102- 4 credits

Prerequisites: Placement scores or courses required to be taken prior to this course.You may qualify for taking a DE course with your PSAT, SAT, ACT scores, OR you may need to take placement tests (VPT) at the NOVA campus.

BIO 101Prerequisites: Competency in Math Essentials Units MTT 1-3 as demonstrated through placement and diagnostic tests, or by completion through unit 3 in an MTT course. Competency in Math Essentials Units MTT 1-5 or equivalent is desirable. A student who provides official evidence of a minimum mathematics score of 520 on the SAT or a minimum score of 22 on the ACT taken within the last two years may register for these courses without taking the math placement test. Placement in ENG 111 required.

BIO 102Prerequisite is BIO 101, or division approval.

Final Exams/Semester Exams: January – TBDJune- TBD

Drop Date:September 29, 2017- If you are not proving successful in this college course due to its rigor or personal issues, the course can be dropped by the above date. With your agreement, your teacher will send an e-mail with this request to the Office of Dual Enrollment.

Withdraw Date:December 1, 2017- A withdrawal from your NOVA college course can occur before 60% of the course is completed. A 'W' will be placed on your permanent college transcript if you elect to leave the college class after the drop date and on or before the withdrawal date. A W on your college transcript does not impact your college GPA. To be withdrawn, with your permission, your DE Instructor will complete the DE withdrawal form and send to the Office of Dual Enrollment. Please note, too many withdrawals on a college transcript can impact your ability to secure financial aid in the future.

Course Objectives: BIO 101 Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Describe the fundamental importance of evolution as a unifying concept in biology 2. Describe the major taxonomic groups of living organisms 3. Apply the scientific method to investigate elementary biological problems 4. Diagram and describe the atomic structure of biologically important elements 5. Explain the principles of chemical bonding and apply those principles to the formation and

properties of both inorganic and organic molecules 6. Describe the structure and function of enzymes and their roles in metabolic pathways 7. Diagram a typical plant, animal and prokaryotic cell and label the component parts of each and

explain their function 8. Describe the processes by which materials move across the cell membrane and within the cell 9. Describe the main events of cell division and relate these to the formation of new cells 10. Apply the basic principles of inheritance and probability to the solution of genetic problems 11. Describe the molecular aspects of the storage, expression, and transmission of genetic information 12. Describe the recent developments in genetics and relate these to human welfare 13. State the Hardy-Weinberg Law and discuss its relevance to evolution 14. Describe the main features of the modern theory of evolution

BIO 102 Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

a. Describe the levels of organization of multicellular organisms b. Describe the structure and functions of the major organ systems in animals c. Describe the evolutionary development of the major organ systems in animals d. Describe the mechanisms, principles and processes involved in the maintenance of homeostasis in

animals e. Describe the main features of animal development and its regulation at the molecular level f. Describe the relationship between structure and function in plants g. Describe the evolutionary development of plants in terms of levels of complexity and life cycles h. Describe the regulation of growth and development in plants i. Relate the basic principles of ecology to the diversity and distribution of organisms on the earth

Policies:I. Grading:

a. Grading Scale i. A = 100 - 90 B = 89 - 80 C = 79 - 70 D = 69 - 60 F = 59 and below

b. This course syllabus informs students exactly what is expected, when assignments are due, and how grading will be done. Assignments are due on the date given and late work may or may not be accepted. If accepted, it is likely there will be a lower grade assigned. There will be no projects for “extra credit” and there is a firm understanding that students earn grades, and are not “given” grades.

c. In cases where district grading policies conflict with college grading policies, the high school and college grades may differ.

d. There will be minimum of 2 exams per quarter and a 1st and 2nd semester cumulative exam. All exams are equally weighted.

II. Course Policies: a. Academic Integrity

i. The College does not tolerate academic dishonesty. Students who are not honest in their academic work will face disciplinary action along with any grade penalty the instructor imposes. Procedures for disciplinary measures and appeals are outlined in the Student Handbook (http://www.nvcc.edu/students/handbook/). In extreme cases, academic dishonesty may result in dismissal from the College.

ii. Plagiarism: is the act of appropriating passages from the work of another individual, either word for word or in substance, and representing them as one's own work. This includes any submission of written work other than one's own. In short, plagiarism means using the exact words, opinions, or factual information from another person without giving that person credit.

iii. Honor code violations are reported to the school administration and honor societies for recording violations and determining consequences.

b. Attendance policy i. Attendance in college level class is extremely important. It is the student’s sole

responsibility to determine what was missed during absence and take the steps to make up any work, exams, etc in a timely manner (no more than 1 week).

c. Disabilities i. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact a NOVA Counselor for Disability

Services to discuss possible accommodations. All information is kept confidential and may increase your chances of success in the academic setting. (https://www.nvcc.edu/disability-services/)

Room 219

d. Self-Advocacy i. Students are expected to reach out to their instructor if they do not understand content or

expectations. ii. Because of federal policy laws such as FERPA, college instructors and other college

personnel will not talk with a parent without the permission of and presence of the student. The conversation is between the administrator / faculty member and the student. With college courses the parent’s role is to listen, give moral support and summarize information and agreements if needed.

iii. Dual enrollment students have access to full NOVA campus services to include tutoring, library, and counseling services.

III. Additional Course Information a. Important documents, power point presentations, and grades will be posted on the BLACKBOARD

system. Students must know and use their NOVA ID and password to verify course enrollment, grades, and request transcripts.

b. Grading practices that are in place for high school courses are not part of DE courses. For example, exams/test retakes, extended due dates and extra credit assignments are not allowed. This is a college course.
