It covers structure from molecules to cells to systems and physiology from cells to systems. Professor Stan Schein: Office hours: Monday, Wednesday 4:00 – 6:00, and by appointment Franz Hall Room 8522 phone 825-0505; email [email protected] Class Website: http://www.lsic.ucla.edu/classes/fall06/ Books: Textbook (available in the UCLA Bookstore): Softback parts plus two chapters via Internet from WK Purves, D Sadava, GH Orians, HC Heller. Life, The Science of Biology, 7th Ed. Sinauer Associates, Inc.: Sunderland, MA and WH Freeman and Co.: Gordonsville, VA, 2001. ISBN # 0-71679-856-9. Study Guide, a CD that is included with the textbook.

Life Sciences 2 Cells, Tissues and Organs Winter 2004-2005 Lab Manual.Hayden McNeil: Plymouth, MI, 2003. ISBN # 0-73801-342-0. The Chemistry CD comes with the Laboratory Manual. Powerpoint slides and Lectures The slides for each lecture (in powerpoint files) are posted to the lecture on the Class Website under Course Materials. You may print them out as you wish and bring them to lecture. Barring glitches, the audio portion of the lectures will also be posted as MP3 files shortly after the lecture. Students find the recorded lectures useful for review (while looking at the slides) and for taking notes, but they report that they are less useful if they had never attended the lecture. As an experiment, the lectures will also be videotaped, and the videotaped versions will be available on the web by the day after the lecture. Important notices Exams and Reviews will be given in the evening for several reasons. First, you will be able to have more lectures. Second, you can have more time to complete your exams. Third, when it comes time to take the exams, you won't have to wait anxiously for the previous class to leave the lecture hall or feel the pressure of the students in the next class trying to get into the room. If you cannot be available during those times, you might consider taking this course in another quarter. If you must take this course now and cannot be available during those times, contact Prof. Schein by email without delay.Enrollment. If you are not enrolled but want to, you should keep trying URSA in case someone drops the course. If you have other enrollment concerns, go to the Life Science Office, Life Science Building, Rm 2305, where you can contact Lily Yanez ([email protected]) or Tracy Newman ([email protected]). Neither the professor nor the LS Core office have PTEs to distribute.

For this purpose, there is a real bulletin board outside of the LS Core office and a virtual Swap Forum available on the Discussion Board of the course website. Laboratory meetings Dr. Gaston Pfluegl (Academic Coordinator/Lecturer): Young Hall 2340, [email protected] Labs meet on week 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. Lab manuals are available at the UCLA Bookstore. Please note which laboratory room number (in Young Hall) goes with your Discussion section.

No lab switching is allowed once the labs are finalized. Only under special circumstances can students go to a different section and only after making arrangements in advance with your TA. Lab attendance and participation are mandatory.Lab Grades: Activity Assignment Points Due Lab 1 Scientific Method Group lab report* 5 Week 2 Lab Lab 2 Photosynthesis Group lab report* 4 (quiz)+25 Week 3 Discussion Lab 3 Metabolism Individual lab report 4 (quiz)+18 Week 5 Lab Lab 4 Rat dissection In class assignment 8 None Lab 5 Histology In class assignment 16 None Lab questions on final N/A 20 N/A Total 100 points *Group lab reports are produced by a team of 3 students.
