1 South Texas College MATH AND SCIENCE DIVISION Biology Department Fall 2015 Name of Instructor: Nancy Ochoa-Garza Telephone Number: (956) Address: or Course Name: Biology for Science Majors I Course Number: BIOL 1406 Prerequisite: TSI Complete in reading Office Location & Hours: B-219; Mon. Fri. 8:00 am 4:15 pm Class Schedule: BIOL 1406 S01 Biology for Science Majors I MTWRF 8:07 am - 9:37 am BIOL 1406 Biology for Science Majors I CRT HRS:04 LEC HRS:03 LAB HRS:03 This is an in-depth study of the fundamental principles of living organisms including physical and chemical properties of life, cellular organization and function. Concepts of metabolic pathways, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, mitosis, meiosis, and molecular biology of the gene, genetics biotechnology, evolutionary adaptation and the scientific method are included. Biology Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) 1. The student will be able to apply laboratory techniques and the scientific method to perform experiments, and to collect, summarize and interpret data in the biological disciplines. 2. The student will have a broad knowledge of cells and can explain metabolism including DNA, genetics, and biotechnology. 3. The student can discuss the principles of evolution, how evolution has shaped life on earth and how the theory of evolution impacts the study of biology. 4. The student will differentiate among major classifications of organisms, understand comparative anatomy and physiology, and interpret classification schemes in terms of phylogeny. 5. The student will be able to summarize interactions of organisms with each other and with the environment and the effects of climate change on the biosphere. 6. The student can describe cellular organization in tissues and organs, and extend this knowledge to skeletal, muscle, and nervous organ systems. 7. The student will understand systemic physiology including how organ systems function to regulate homeostasis. 8. The student will differentiate microbial mechanisms of pathogenicity, understand the role of the immune system in protecting against microbes, and evaluate effectiveness of anti-microbial agents. 9. The student will be able to research and analyze the scientific literature and develop informed conclusions. 10. The student can skillfully communicate on critical issues concerned with health of individuals, communities, and ecosystems.

2 Course Learning Outcomes BIOL 1406 CLO 1 CLO 2 CLO 3 CLO 4 CLO 5 CLO 6 CLO 7 CLO 8 CLO 9 Apply steps of the scientific process and utilize laboratory equipment including microscopy to conduct biological experiments. Explain the characteristics of life, properties of biomolecules, and metabolic pathways including photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Contrast characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and summarize mitosis, cell reproduction, meiosis, and the functioning of the plasma membrane and organelles. Break down chromosome structure, DNA replication, transcription of DNA into RNA, translation of RNA into protein, and biotechnology; relate these concepts to principles of inheritance; and predict and interpret complex genetic crosses and pedigree charts. Analyze the evidence for evolution through natural selection, appraise the link between the unity and diversity of life and relatedness through common descent, and evaluate how the theory of evolution guides reasoning used by scientists to study biology. Analyze and evaluate various observations, facts and other information about a biological phenomenon through creative thinking, innovation and inquiry, and synthesize ideas consistent with the information. *Core Objective 1: Critical Thinking Skills (CT) Develop, interpret and express ideas concerning a biological topic or results of laboratory work through written, oral and/or visual communication *Core Objective 2: Communication Skills (COM) Collect, manipulate and analyze biological data, and employ scientific reasoning, resulting in informed conclusions *Core Objective 3: Empirical and Quantitative Skills (EQS) Work effectively with others including ability to lead or participate, to consider different points of view, and to assign or carry out individual tasks, to support a shared purpose or goal in a biological field *Core Objective 4: Teamwork (TW) Core Objectives Critical Thinking Skills (CT): Communication Skills (COM): Empirical and Quantitative Skills (EQS): Teamwork (TW): to include creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis, evaluation and synthesis of information. to include effective development, interpretation and expression of ideas through written, oral and visual communication. to include the manipulation and analysis of numerical data or observable facts resulting in informed conclusions. to include the ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal.
