FSU Policy on Electronic Mail: Fayetteville State University provides to each student, free of charge, an electronic mail account that is easily accessible via the Internet. The university has established email as the primary mode of communicating with enrolled students about impending deadlines, upcoming events, and other information important to student progression at the university. Students are responsible for reading their email on a regular basis to remain aware of important information disseminated by the university. The university maintains open-use computer laboratories throughout the campus that can be used to access electronic mail.Students making inquiries via email to FSU faculty and staff about academic records, grades, bills, financial aid, and other matters of a confidential nature are required to use their FSU email account. Rules and regulations governing the use of FSU email may be found at:http://www.uncfsu.edu/PDFs/EmailPolicyFinal.pdfII. COURSE DESCRIPTIONBiology 130, General Biology II, is designed to acquaint Biology non-majors and majors with the science of living organisms and to familiarize them with general techniques and methods employed by scientists. The course aims to equip students with facts and skills necessary to make informed decisions in today’s scientifically complex environment. Major areas of study include structure/function relationships inplants and animals, adaptation, and homeostasis, biodiversity, relationships between organisms at the population and community level, relationships between organisms and their environments at the ecosystem level, and to evolutionary biology. Includes two (2) hours of internet laboratory (see below) exercises applying concepts learned in lecture.Prerequisite: Biology 110 or equivalent and a willingness to put in plenty of study. This course requires you to access the course website through blackboard in order to view online lectures and all other course materials. The ability to use internet technology, especially blackboard is expected. Each week you are expected view theonline lectures, complete assigned readings, complete and submit assignments, complete internet labs, and complete the discussion board. This is a considerable amount of work so you need to keep up on a weekly basis – I do not except late work.2III.
