Any student with specialhealth considerations or conditions should inform the lab instructor.Course description: Biological principles and concepts from the tissue through ecosystem levels of organization.Course objectives:• To acquaint students with biological principles associated with multi-cellularity, development, phylogeny,ecology and evolution.• To acquaint students with the anatomical organization of organisms including tissues, organs, and systemsand their functions.• To trace the development or organisms.• To trace the phylogeny of organisms.• To acquaint students with the behavior, ecology, and evolution of organisms.Student competency statement: By the end of this course, the student will have demonstrated the ability to:• Discuss biological principles and topics of historical and current interest and importance.• Describe the biological processes that operate at the multi-cellular levels including histological, organismal,population, community, and ecosystem levels of organization.• Apply theoretical concepts in the laboratory by following a written procedure.Methods of presentation: This course will consist of lectures by the instructor, classroom discussion, and groupand individual laboratory exercises.Methods of evaluation: Achievement of course objectives will be evaluated by lecture exams and a comprehensivefinal, laboratory quizzes and exams, and a lab notebook.Grading: The lecture and lab graders will count equally toward the final course grade.The lecture grade will be based on 4 lecture tests equally spaced throughout thesemester and a final comprehensive lecture exam. See the course schedule for thetentative test dates. The final will count for 40% of the lecture grade.The lab grade will be based on 2 practical tests, several quizzes, a notebook(graded twice), and attendance. The 2 practicals will count for half the lab grade.The course grade will be an average of the lab and lecture grades.Please note: This is a lab course and it cannot be passed with a failing lab grade regardless of the lecture grade. Inaddition, 75% attendance in lab is mandatory.Additional comments:* This is a survey course and covers a great deal of material! I cannot cover all of the details in class and will assignsections of the text for further reading. The text is very good and can help explain lecture material you maynot fully understand. You will understand lectures better if you read the text sections beforehand and you willdo better on tests if you keep up with the reading.* I have scheduled office hours that I encourage you to use. You may make an appointment or drop in if I am notbusy with another student. If my office hours conflict with your schedule, we can make arrangements to meetat another time during the week. Dr. Bennett also welcomes student visits.Laboratory* 75% attendance in lab is required. You cannot get a passing grade in lab with more than three absences and youcannot pass the course if you do not pass the lab.* The lab is heavily scheduled and you will be expected to stay the full 3 hours. Some of the written work will beassigned as homework. You will need your notebook every week.General* You will be expected to endorse the following Honor Pledge on every test:“On my honor as a University of South Carolina Aiken student, I have neither given nor received anyunauthorized aid on this assignment/examination. To the best of my knowledge I am not in violation ofacademic honesty.”* If you have a physical, psychological, and/or learning disability which might affect you performance in this class,please contact the Office of Disability Services, 126A B&E, (803) 641-3609, as soon as possible. TheDisabilities Services Office will determine appropriate accommodations based on medical documentation.TENTATIVE LECTURE SCHEDULEWeek Date Topic ChaptersJan 11 Introduction, Science 11 Jan 16 Cell division, mitosis/meiosis 11,12Jan 18 Genes, natural selection, evolution, speciation 19,20,212 Jan 23 Population, communities 23,24Jan 25 Ecosystems, the biosphere 25,263Jan 30Exam IFeb 1 Classification, Viruses, Prokaryotes 28,294 Feb 6 Bacteria and Archaea 30,Feb 8 Eukaryotes, Protista, Fungi 31,325 Feb 13 Plant phylogeny 33Feb 15 Plant phylogeny 336Feb 20Exam IIFeb 22 Vascular plant structure, tissues, transport 34,357 Feb 27 Vascular plant structure, tissues, transport 34,35Mar 1 Reproduction and growth 37,388Mar 6SpringMar 8 Break9 Mar 13 Reproduction and growth 37,38Mar 15 Growth and regulation 38,3910 Mar 20Exam IIIMar 22 Animal phylogeny 41,4211 Mar 27 Animal phylogeny 43,44,45Mar 29 Reproduction and development 56, 5812 Apr 3Apr 5No lecture- (stay home and review)13 Apr 10 Tissues- protection, support, movement 46,47Apr 12Exam IV14 Apr 17 Digestion, circulation 48,49Apr 19 Respiration, 5015 Apr 24 Homeostasis and hormonal control 53,55Apr 26May 8Final exam: 8:00–11:00 amTENTATIVE LAB SCHEDULEWeek Date Test/quiz Survey topic Activities1 Jan 16 - 18 Microscopes Mitosis/meiosis2 Jan 23 - 25 Quiz 1 Vascular/nonvascularplantsDevelopment- Begin fast plants Plant seeds-moncot/dicots3 Jan 30 - Feb1 Monocot/dicots Fast plants – tropisms Monoco/dicot growth4 Feb 6 - 8 Quiz 2 Plant tissues Fast plants – hormones Cyclosis/osmosis – ElodeaStomatal regulation5 Feb 13 - 15 Quiz 3 Flowers/fruit/seeds Fast plants – growth6 Feb 20 - 22 Quiz 4 Fungi Fungi collection7 Feb 27-Mar 1Test I8 Mar 6 – 8No lab9 Mar 13- 15 Embryology Reproduction- Sea urchins10 Mar 20 –22 Quiz 5 Phylogeny Reproduction- Sea urchins Development – Silkworms11 Mar 27- 29 Quiz 6 Phylogeny Behavior - Isopods Development - Triops12 Apr 3 – 5 Quiz 7 Evolution* Predator/prey- owl pellets Development - finish13 Apr 10 – 12
