3 CODE: BIOL 126 TITLE: Exploring Biology: Cycles of Life DIVISION: Science & Health Sciences DEPARTMENT: Biology COURSE DESCRIPTION: Exploring Biology: Cycles of Life is a general study of the basic concepts of biology for the non-science major. Topics include: chemistry of life, cell structure and function, genetics, evolution, diversity of life and ecology. Topics are covered at an introductory level to provide students an overview of biological science and its relevance in the world. PREREQUISITES: MATH 012 OR MATH 015 OR PASSING SCORE IN COMPUTATION ON BASIC SKILLS TEST, READ 095 OR PASSING SCORE IN READING ON BASIC SKILLS TEST, AND ENGL 095 OR PASSING SCORE IN WRITING ON BASIC SKILLS TEST. PREREQUISITES OR COREQUISITES: None COREQUISITES: CREDITS: 3 LECTURE CREDITS: 3 LAB/STUDIO CREDITS: 0 LAB/STUDIO HOURS: 0 REQUIRED MATERIALS: CAMPBELL Essential Biology with Masteringbiology.com by Simon, Dickey & Reece; Fifth Edition, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. ADDITIONAL TIME REQUIREMENTS: COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Demonstrate application of basic biological concepts: o properties of life o chemistry of life o cell structure & function o genetics o evolution and diversity of life o ecology Use the scientific method of inquiry to explore biological phenomena. Employ appropriate technology and resources to collect and interpret biological information and data. COURSE CONTENT: Unit One: Unit Two: Unit Three: Unit Four: Unit Five: Unit Six: Introduction to Biology Chemical Basis of Life Cell Structure and Function Genetics & Reproduction Evolution and Diversity of Life Ecology 3
4 GRADING STANDARD: Upon completion of the course, grades will be assigned as follows: A = % A- = 89-91% B+ = 86-88% B = 82-85% B- = 79-81% C+ = 76-78% C = 70-75% D = 65-69% F = <65% In calculating the course grade, 0.5 will round up to the next numerical grade and 0.4 will round down to the next lower numerical grade. Students are permitted to withdraw from the course without penalty until approximately 80% of the semester is complete. Please see term schedule for the exact deadline. At the end of the semester, application for an Incomplete may be made if a student with proper documentation needs to complete no more than one exam. The granting of an Incomplete is at the discretion of the instructor. Please see Instructor s syllabus for additional policies. DEPARTMENT POLICIES: Active participation is strongly recommended for optimum performance in biology courses. Exams will be given in the Brookdale Testing Centers. Exams must be taken at the times designated by the instructor. A student who misses an exam must provide prior notification and proper documentation in order to be eligible to take the exam. The acceptance of said prior notification and proper documentation will be determined by the instructor. Documentation must be provided within one week of the student s return for a make-up exam to be scheduled. A student who is unable to provide proper documentation for a missed exam will be given a grade of zero for that exercise. Students may not re-take exams on which they perform poorly. COLLEGE POLICIES: For information regarding: Brookdale s Academic Integrity Code Student Conduct Code Student Grade Appeal Process Please refer to the STUDENT HANDBOOK, THE BCC CATALOG, and the BCC Website: NOTIFICATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Brookdale Community College offers reasonable accommodations and/or services to persons with disabilities. Students with disabilities who wish to self-identify, must contact the Disabilities Services Office at or (TTY), provide appropriate documentation of the disability, and request specific accommodations or services. If a student qualifies, reasonable accommodations and/or services, which are appropriate for the college level and are recommended in the documentation, can be approved. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT/LABS: Students enrolled in BIOL126 have access to a Computer Lab (Room MAS102 and MAS 019) and an Independent Study Lab (Room MAS041) Course Website: Biology Department information and BIOL 126 resources are available on the Brookdale website: 4
