1 GENERAL BIOLOGY I (MAJORS) with Lab (Title change ONLY Oct. 2013) Course Package
2 COURSE INFORMATION Is this a new course or a proposed modification to an existing course? Please check the appropriate box. New Course Course Modification to an existing course Title General Biology (majors) I Number Catalog Course Description This is the first of a two course sequence designed for science majors. This course provides a broad overview of life on earth today and how life has changed over time. The course content focuses on the basic mechanisms of life: cell structure and function, biochemistry, metabolism, energetics, genetics and evolution. The laboratory experience is designed to compliment and reinforce the lecture series. Credit hours 4 Lecture hours 3 Lab hours 3 Prerequisites Appropriate score on assessment test or successful completion of Identify any risk management issues. Explain the proposed modifications, if applicable. PCS 021, TRM 090, and TRE 089 Risk of minor physical injury due to glass and other breakable material handling in Lab Contact person(s) Jeff Kingsbury, Jan Parrott, Don Plantz, Tom McKinney, Kris Hansen Date March, 2005 Effective date of changes August, 2005 Is there a similar course in the college bank? Articulation: Is this course or an equivalent offered at other two- and four- year universities in AZ? Yes NO If yes, identify: Yes No If yes, identify the college, subject, prefix, number, and title: Writing Across the Curriculum Rationale: Mohave Community College firmly supports the idea that writing can be used to improve education; students who write in their respective content areas will learn more and retain what they learn better than those who don t. Courses in the core curriculum have been identified as Writing Across the Curriculum courses. Suggested minimum standards for the Writing Across the Curriculum component are as follows: 1. The writing assignments should total words. For example, a single report which is 1500 words in length could fulfill the requirement, or a series of 2
3 essay questions and short papers (example: four -375 word assignments) which total 1500 words could meet the requirement. 2. The writing component will represent at least 10% of a student s final grade in the course. Is this a course identified as a Writing Across the Curriculum course? Yes No Intended Course Outcomes Course Goals 1. Students will communicate orally and in written form using appropriate biology concepts and terms. 2. Students will develop an understanding of the scientific method, as demonstrated by their ability to apply it. 3. Students will be able to demonstrate a fundamental understanding of biological principals such as evolution, biochemistry, cell structure and function, energetics, metabolism, photosynthesis, and genetics. 4. Students will demonstrate appropriate behavior and protocol in the laboratory setting, and develop critical thinking skills. * 5. Students will be able to apply the material learned in this course as a foundation for further education in the biologic sciences and will recognize important developments in biology and the applications to current societal issues..
