Course Information: fulfills the Pathways Life and Physical Sciences requirement Human Biology is a 3-credit course, intended for non-science majors, comprised of 2 lecture hours per week, two hours of interactive exercises on-line. Topics in this course include the scientific method, tools used in modern biology with emphasis on human systems, metabolism, genetics, physiology, and bioethics. A variety of learning activities will be used to broaden the students’ awareness of living species and biological systems, including lectures, videos, laboratory activities. This course does not carry bio-elective credit for Biology majors! Course Materials: Mader, S. and M. Windelspecht. 2016. Human Biology. 16th Edition. McGraw-Hill, NY.

Class Attendance: Regular, on-time attendance is appreciated and a key to success in Biology. Preparation is critical: you must read/perform assignments and exercises prior to lecture/lab and arrive with an understanding of the planned subject or activity.

Courses that meet the general education (core) science requirement provide students with opportunities to: • Develop and utilize critical reasoning skills, • understand and apply the scientific method, • enhance and expand their knowledge base of biological principles, with a special emphasis on human anatomy and physiology, • Recognize pseudoscience and be able to evaluate potential candidates on the basics of scientific reasoning, process, and scientific legitimacy, • explore practical and ethical issues of contemporary biology, • Be able to understand the principle of “informed consent” and improve skills in dealing with the medical community. Assessment of Student Learning: Exam 1 88 points Exam 2 88 points Exam 3 88 points Final Exam 88 points Lab Exercises 108 points Class Participation in lab 10 points Connect Assignments 30 points Total: 500 points

Lecture Exams: Exams (88 points each) will be closed book. The exams are not cumulative! Lab Format: The lab exercises can be found on-line and are to be completed prior to class meetings. Come to class prepared to discuss key terms and concepts from these exercises. In Addition, other assignments will be via Connect (118 pts). Lab Quizes : Each lab session, except the first and the last, will start with a short-answer quiz covering the material discussed in the last lab session, and key concepts from the material scheduled for the current session. Lecture quizzes on Connect: There is a quiz on Connect before each lecture exam on Blackboard. These questions are drawn from the same question bank as the exams. Each quiz will only be up for 1 week and you must do it before the next lecture. Read the book and review your notes before you take the quiz. You will only be allowed 1 hour to complete it. It is graded on a check-off basis as part of your class participation grade ( 30 points). Make-ups/Late assignments: There will be no make-up exams. Be sure to complete assignments during the designated time.
