BIO201B LabsLevels of Help in BIO201BII. Computer and Webpage HelpCELL BIOLOGY, BIO201B. (Dr. Hennessey) Spring, 2007Instructor: Dr. Todd M. Hennessey Office: H610 Hochstetter Hall Phone: 645 2363 ext.194 Office Hours: M and W, 2:00 to 3:00 or contact me for an appointmentE-mail address: [email protected] BIO201B Homepage: http://www.biology.buffalo.edu/courses/bio201/Hennessey/henn_main.htmlLectures: Mon., Wed., and Fri. 11:00 to 11:50 in Knox 20. Optional copies of each week's lecturenotes will be placed on BIO201B UBLearns at the end of each weekAudio recordings at: http://its.buffalo.edu/services/audio/digirec.shtml Laboratories: There are 6 labs, one every week. BIO201B labs start on March 19. Required textbook: Cell and Molecular Biology (4th Edition) by Gerald Karp, 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. ISBN: 0-471-46580-01Required lab manual: Available at the University Bookstore, 200 Lee Entrance Course requirements: Three exams 300 points Six lab reports at 5 points each 30 points Lab Exam 70 points Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 400 pointsThis is a 4 credit course (lecture and lab grades required for everyone) Policies: No extra credit will be given. The grade is determined from the point total only.No incompletes will be given unless accompanied by a valid medical excuse (or equivalent) explaining why the work could not be completed. No make-up exams will be given unless the student produces a valid, written, excuse with a doctor's (MD) signature (or equivalent) explaining why the student missed the exam. Regrades of exams may be requested in person only up to one week after the exam is returned. Excused absences must be approved by Dr. Hennessey at least 2 weeks in advance. Exams: There will be 3 section exams (see the Course Outline for details). All exams will be multiple choice and computer scored. Every student in BIO201B must take all of these exams without exception. All of the exam grades will count towards your final grade. The first two section exams will be given during the 50 min. lecture periods. Exam I (90 points) is on Wednesday, February 14 and Exam II (100 points) is on Wednesday, March 28. The third section exam (110 points) will be given during the scheduled final exam period. The Lab Exam (70 points) will also be given during the final exam period. Previous exams (with answer keys) are available from BIO201B UBLearns. Important Dates: Spring Semester, 2006Last day to drop courses without financial penalty - Friday, January 19. Last day to drop courses without "R" - Friday, January 26. Deadline to request undergraduate S/U credit - Friday, January 26. Course registration ("R") in effect - January 27 - March 30. Last day to drop a course - Friday, March 30.1Course Repeat Policy: Any student repeating the BIO201B course must repeat all of the course,even the labs. All students must complete all of the exams and all of the labs in BIO201B.Grades: Final grades will be determined from the scale shown below. 360-400 A347-359 A-333-346 B+320-332 B307-319 B-293-306 C+280-292 C267-279 C-253-266 D+240-252 DBelow 240 FNOTE: This scale sets the minimum totals necessary to achieve the grades shown. Individual exam scores will be adjusted by applying an appropriate formula to the scores. For example, if the highest scores in the class are 33 out of 35 possible questions right and there are 100 points possible, each score could be multiplied by 100/33 = 3.0303. For example, 31 right would be 31 (3.0303) = an adjusted score of 93.9 (that’s 94% right) while 33 right would be 100 points or 100%. It is the adjusted score (not the number right) that contributes to your 400 possible points and is used to determine your final grade.

There will be six labs. The main Cell Biology experiments are in the final three labs and the preceding labs are designed to familiarize the student with the relevant procedures necessary to perform and understand the final experiments. Therefore, the first labs will provide the background techniques and concepts necessary for a complete understanding of the final experiments. Lab 1: PIPETTING and pH Lab 2: SPECTROPHOTOMETRYLab 3: A MODEL OXIDATION/REDUCTION REACTIONLab 4: THE HILL REACTION IN ISOLATED CHLOROPLASTS Lab 5: MICROSCOPY OF DIATOM STREW PREPARATIONSLab 6 HUMAN CHROMOSOME ANALYSIS Advice on How to do well in this class:What I'd do to get an “A” in BIO201 if I were taking this class :My underlying assumptions: When you see something, it goes though a specific neurological pathway (involving the optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, occipital cortex, etc.) and information is retained primarily in visual stores. This is one type of file, a visual file. When you listen, information goes through a different pathway and is stored in different (auditory) files. When you write, that experience goes through a motor pathway and some information is retained in motor stores. Speaking involves a different motor pathway, as does hearing. Thought integrates these pathways and generates files of its own. If you look, listen, write, speak and thinkyou can put the same information in 5 different files. That's like putting an important computer file (like a term paper) on your hard drive, CD, zip disc, memory stick and other backups. The more files in which you have information stored, the better chance you have of retrieving it on command. If you lose one or two files, you have backups. The
