BSC 2011C
INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY IISYLLABUS
(2004/2006)
Biology is an exciting, dynamic, and challenging science. It is a study of life. Students are fortunate to be living at a time when insights and discoveries in almost all aspects of biology are occurring at a very rapid pace. Much of the knowledge learned in a biology course has application in improving humanity and the quality of life. An understanding of basic biology is essential in establishing a secure foundation for more advanced courses in the life sciences or health sciences. The principles learned in a basic biology course will be of immeasurable value in dealing with the ecological and bioethical problems currently facing us.

Install and Register.
Follow the steps for installation and registration outlined on the
instruction card included with your CD-ROMs.
|
| Step 2 |
Log on to the website.
Once you are logged on at
www.thinkwell.com, you will be in
"Course Home." Click on a chapter title and then topic title to get to
the review notes, exercises, and other material.
|
| Step 3 |
Print the notes for the assigned topics.
Before you watch a video
lecture, you may wish to print the review note that goes with it. You
can refer to it and make your own notes while viewing the video.
|
| Step 4 |
Watch the Video.
Each video runs 10 minute average. To launch a video, insert the
CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive then click the Thinkwell desktop
icon (this should have appeared on your desktop automatically when you
completed he CD-ROM registration). You can rewind or fast-forward the
video as needed.
|
| Step 5 |
Complete the online exercise.
After watching the video,
take the review exercise if it's been assigned.
|
| Step 6 |
Check for other assigned material.
To see all the
material available for a particular chapter, click "Chapter Checklist."
For any chapter title you select, you'll see the type of materials
available, except for custom assignments.
|
| Step 7 |
Open "Exams."
Your professor may have placed some custom exercises in the "Exams" section
of your website. Be sure to click this link to look for these
important assignments.
|
| Step 8 |
Search for a term.
Want to review a particular concept? Enter that term in "Search Index"
at the top right of the website, and you'll get a list of relevant videos,
notes, animations, and glossary terms.
|
| Step 9 |
Check out the Student's User Guide.
If you have trouble with your
computer, the CD-ROMs, or the website, check out the Student's User Guide,
available in the Help Center online. If you still have trouble,
contact Thinkwell's Technical Support at
techsupport@thinkwell.com or
toll free at (888) 416-8880, option 3.

| All Tests will be combined Lab and Lecture Exams. | ||
| Class Policy: |
| ~ | There will be NO MAKE-UP Exams or Quizzes without prior arrangements. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! | |
| ~ | Lecture Exams MAY be made up on a case by case pre-arranged basis ONLY! This means BEFORE the fact. | |
| ~ | All assignments must be in on time for full consideration. | |
| ~ | A 20% penalty will be assessed for late assignments. | |
| ~ | The "NP" Grade is NOT an option and will not be used. | |
| ~ | The "I" Grade will be reserved for emergencies. | |
| ~ | The laboratory REQUIRES a protective apron, approved eyewear and lab gloves. These MUST be supplied by the student and available at every lab/classroom session. |
|
"IW" GRADE: An instructor initiated withdrawal grade "IW" may be assigned by the instructors prior to the withdrawal deadline to students who have been absent from more than 15% of the scheduled classes in any given term. The "IW" Grade is an optional grade and ,may be assigned only after a warning has been sent to the students. Faculty who intend to use this grade option must clearly state that intention in their course syllabi. Students may appeal an instructor initiated withdrawal within 10 days of the withdrawal by contacting the campus student affairs office. It should be noted that since college prep courses have a required attendance policy, this grade may not be assigned to college prep students. |
|
FOR COLLEGE CREDIT OUTLINES: Beginning fall semester 1997, according to guidelines established by Florida House Bill (HB) 1545, all students may enroll in a specific college credit course only twice at the regular tuition rate. If the first two attempts are unsuccessful (all grades will count as an attempt including audit, IW, AW, W and NP), the third time a student enrolls in a course he/she must pay the full cost of instruction. This cost is equivalent to the out-of-state tuition rate, approximately four times the cost of regular tuition or $201.85 per semester hour. Only "drops" submitted by the advertised deadline date (during the first week of a term) will not count as being enrolled.
