    Course Outline

    Lecturer: Dr. K. Blaschuk Office: 421D- Biological Sciences Building Office Hours: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. E-mail: [email protected]

    Objective and description of course: To introduce students to major topics currently studied in the field of Biology. Topics introduced will include basic chemistry as it relates to life, cell biology, metabolism, reproduction, genetics and evolution.

    Important dates: September 11, 2015- First Biology class October 7, 2015- Biology Mid-term #1 October 12, 2015- Thanksgiving (no classes) November 6, 2015- Mid-term #2 November 11, 2015- Remembrance Day (no classes) November 18, 2015- Last day for voluntary withdrawal from course without academic penalty. December 9, 2015- Last Biology class December 11- 23, 2015- Fall term final examination period

    Course organization: a) Lectures

    Lectures are designed to clarify and explain essential concepts. Lectures will deal with information found primarily in the course textbook. You will be responsible for all material presented in class, in the Power Point slides, and in the textbook reading assignments. Power Point lectures will be posted on JUMP but you should be aware that these are outlines only, and that the actual lectures will be more detailed. You are strongly advised to take good notes during class. You are also strongly advised to attend lectures.

    Since we cannot possibly cover all the information found in the text, the lectures will be on selected topics. Further, though every effort to cover all the topics listed in this outline will be made, not all the topics listed in the outline may be covered. A brief lecture outline and assigned text page references are found below.

    Lectures are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. in 204 Armes.

    b) TextbookThe course text is Campbell Biology: Concepts and connections, by Reece J. B. et al., First Canadian edition, Pearson Canada Inc. (2015).

    The textbook is required.

    All of the section numbers given in the lecture outline refer to this text. The readings given contain much more information than we will cover in the lectures, but the readings will enrich your knowledge about the subjects that we will cover in class. You will also note that we are covering only a portion of the textbook. We will study Units One and Two in detail and Unit Three in less detail. Though lectures do not extend beyond Chapter 15, material from later chapters may be included to supplement lectures.

    c) Course Grading

    i. Tests and Examinations The emphasis will be on material covered in lectures, but the text readings are also important. You will be responsible for any material discussed in class (including any material presented on PowerPoint slides and any material I present, whether spoken or written on the board/over-head) and any material that is part of your assigned readings. Mid-term #1 will examine lecture and reading material covered up to the end of CH 5: Cellular function. Mid-term #2 will examine lecture and reading material covered from CH 6: How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy to the end of CH 9: Patterns of Inheritance. The final examination is cumulative and will cover all course material with emphasis on material not previously tested. All examinations will be Multiple Choice in style. Please also note that you will need an HB pencil to fill in the answer sheet. Students will be asked for identification when writing a test or examination. No cell phones, computers or other unauthorized materials are allowed during examinations. Any student found guilty of contributing to or cheating in examinations will be subject to serious academic penalty. Please see: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/science/student/webdisciplinedocuments.html,for further information. Please also note, that if you miss a test or the final exam, you will be required to provide documentation that is valid and verifiable and that supports the reason you were absent, in order to write a make-up test or deferred final exam. An example of such documentation is a physician’s note.

    ii. Schedule of Tests and Exams Mid-term #1 October 7 (Wednesday), 2015; in class 25%

    Mid-term #2 November 6 (Friday), 2015; in class 25%

    MASTERINBIOLOGY ASSESSMENT On MasteringBiology you will see a total of 11 assignments based on the lecture material. These assignments are formative and not for credit and therefore not required. However, the assignments are designed to help guide you through the material and keep you on track. Completion of these assignments will help you achieve a better grade in Biology 1010. Online assignments are a good way to test your own knowledge and understanding. You will also have 10 quizzes to complete on MasteringBiology over the term. These quizzes are mandatory and summative and will account for 10% of your final grade. Quizzes will become available ON the date indicated in the schedule below for 24 hours. Within this 24-hour window (12:00 AM – 11:59 PM), you must login to MasteringBiology and complete the quiz. Failure to do so before midnight will result in a grade of zero for that quiz. Do not begin a quiz too close to the deadline (i.e., 11:52 PM), as you may not have enough time to complete it. No extensions or make-up possibilities will be given for any quiz. Your best 8 (of 10) quizzes will be averaged and used to calculate your mark out of the possible 10% of your final grade.

    LECTURE OUTLINE & TEXTBOOK REFERENCES: During the course you will encounter topics, which the textbook covers in greater detail than the lectures, while in other areas the lecturer may expand upon the textbook. Although classes do not strictly adhere to the order of the text, I do consider it essential reading. Students who expand upon each topic by reading will understand and perform better on examinations.

    Modules in parentheses are topics covered in Biology 1000 and are very useful review. They include background information essential to the understanding of the concepts discussed in class. Very little time will be devoted to these modules in class, however, you are expected to understand this information.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

    I missed a MasteringBiology quiz, what can I do? In short, nothing. There will be no make up quizzes on MasteringBiology. To this end, only the best 8 of 10 quiz marks will be used in the calculation of your final mark. The quiz you just missed will be one of the two that isn’t counted.

    Should I read the textbook for the exam?

    Absolutely! The exam will be based largely on the lecture material. However, reading the text offers an alternative explanation for the concepts you are expected to know. It also includes other examples to illustrate concepts. As such, reading the indicated modules will undoubtedly help you succeed in Biology 1010.

    If I have a conflict with the midterm, what happens?

    In summer session, there is very little chance that you will have a valid conflict with the scheduled midterm date. If, however, you feel you do, see us as soon as possible. If the exam conflicts with your work schedule, we expect you to reschedule your shift to sit the exam. If this is impossible, we require a letter from your employer on company header explaining that your shift cannot be changed. Bring this to documentation to the main Biological Sciences office in 212 Biological Science Building.

    If I miss the midterm, what happens?

    If you have valid documentation the value of the midterm will be prorated to the final exam. If you do not have appropriate documentation, a mark of zero will be given for the midterm.

    If I miss the final, what can I do?

    The only thing you can do in this situation is contacting your home faculty. They are the only body that can grant a deferred exam. Be ready to present your valid documentation to them.

  • 3 VIDEOS All of the sections are taught by video. The video format is used to ensure a uniform

    presentation to all students in a very large class. Instructors can put more effort into lecture production when they don’t have to repeat the same lecture to numerous sections. This gives them the time to visit the labs to chat with students informally and answer questions about the course. It also gives students greater access to the lectures and greater flexibility in viewing them. If a lecture is missed, or if you which to watch a DVD it can be viewed individually in library. A problem with the video format is the lack of immediate student feedback or questions. You will have to jot down your questions and ask them later, either in the Instructor’s office, or when you next see him/her in the laboratory. Although the Coordinator does check the lecture rooms for problems, the lectures are largely unsupervised. You must be quiet in class so that all students can benefit from the lecture. Students found to be disruptive will be warned once and then ejected from the room. Once ejected, a student will not be allowed to continue in the course without a letter from the Dean or Director of his/hers Faculty of School.

    ATTENDANCE LECTURES: Punctual attendance is expected. Attend only in the section to which you have been assigned. LABORATORIES: Attendance at laboratories is mandatory. Attendance will be taken by the laboratory TA during each laboratory 2 hours into the class time. Students must be in attendance for a minimum of 2 hours. Students who miss more than 2 out of 8 labs, without a documented reason, during the regular session shall receive a grade of F for BIOL 1020 Biology 1.

    STUDENT EVALUATION

    The final grade in BIOL 1020 will be based on the following:

    1. Mastering Biology Quizzes Portion of course grade (best 8 out of 10) ------------------ 10% 2. In Laboratory Assignments 1 assignment, worth 1%, to be completed in each lab.

    MASTERING BIOLOGY

    QUIZ DATES

    GRADING SCHEME

    On MasteringBiology you will see a total of 5 assignments based on Dr. Stacey’s material and 5 assignments based on Mr. Shaw’s material. These assignments are not for credit and therefore not required. However, the assignments are designed to help guide you through the material and keep you on track. Completion of these assignments will help you achieve a better grade in Biology 1020. Online assignments are a good way to test your own knowledge and understanding. You will also have 10 quizzes to complete on MasteringBiology over the term (5 based on Dr. Stacey’s material and 5 based on Mr. Shaw’s material). These quizzes are mandatory and will account for 10% of your final grade. Quizzes will become available ON the date indicated in the schedule below for 24 hours. Within this 24 hour window you must login to MasteringBiology and complete the quiz. Failure to do so before midnight will result in a grade of zero for that quiz. Do not begin a quiz too close to the deadline (Monday at midnight), as you may not have enough time to complete it. No extensions or make-up possibilities will be given for any quiz. Your best 8 (of 10) quizzes will be averaged and used to calculate your mark out of the possible 10% of your final grade.

    Quiz 1 September 28, 2015 Quiz 2 October 05, 2015 Quiz 3 October 13, 2015 *Tuesday Quiz 4 October 19, 2015 Quiz 5 October 26, 2015 Quiz 6 November 9, 2015 Quiz 7 November 16, 2015 Quiz 8 November 23, 2015 Quiz 9 November 30, 2015 Quiz10 December 7, 2015

    Grades are assigned at the end of the year by converting your cumulative percentage mark into a letter grade, using the following table: 90 + - A+ 80 - 89 - A 76 - 79 - B+ 70 - 75 - B 60 - 69 - C+ 50 - 59 - C 46 - 49 - D 0 - 45 - F Very slight modifications of this scheme are sometimes made to compensate for a class average that may be judged to be too low or too high.

    LABORATORY

    MARKS Each exam has a laboratory section which contributes to the total exam mark but which will also be tabulated separately. You must achieve a "D" standard in the lab (15 correct out of 32 lab questions from the exams only for the year) to pass the course. If you score 14 or less out of the 32 lab marks you will receive a grade of F, regardless of your marks for the lecture questions.

    VIDEO TAPES

    All of the sections are taught by video. The video format is used to ensure a uniform presentation to all students in a very large class. Instructors can put more effort into lecture production when they don’t have to repeat the same lecture to numerous sections. This gives them the time to visit the labs to chat with students informally and answer questions about the course. It also gives students greater access to the lectures and greater flexibility in viewing them. If a lecture is missed, or if you which to watch a DVD it can be viewed individually in library. A problem with the video format is the lack of immediate student feedback or questions. You will have to jot down your questions and ask them later, either in the Instructor’s office, or when you next see him/her in the laboratory. Although the Coordinator does check the lecture rooms for problems, the lectures are largely unsupervised. You must be quiet in class so that all students can benefit from the lecture. Students found to be disruptive will be warned once and then ejected from the room. Once ejected, a student will not be allowed to continue in the course without a letter from the Dean or Director of his/hers Faculty of School.

    ATTENDANCE

    LECTURES: Punctual attendance is expected. Attend only in the section to which you have been assigned. LABORATORIES: Attendance at laboratories is mandatory. Attendance will be taken by the laboratory TA during each laboratory 2 hours into the class time. Students must be in attendance for a minimum of 2 hours. Students who miss more than 2 out of 10- labs during the regular session shall receive a grade of F for BIOL 1030 Biology 2.

    STUDENT EVALUATION

    The final grade in BIOL 1030 will be based on 10 MasteringBiology quizzes, 10 in Laboratory assignments and two multiple choice examinations as follows:

    1. MasteringBiology Quizzes Portion of course grade (best 8 out of 10) ------------------ 10% 2. In Laboratory Assignments 1 assignment, worth 1%, to be completed in each lab.

    GRADING SCHEME

    Grades are assigned at the end of the year by converting your cumulative percentage mark into a letter grade, using the following table: 90 + - A+ 80 - 89 - A 76 - 79 - B+ 70 - 75 - B 60 - 69 - C+ 50 - 59 - C 46 - 49 - D 0 - 45 - F Very slight modifications of this scheme are sometimes made to compensate for a class average that may be judged to be too low or too high.

    LABORATORY MARKS

    Each exam has a laboratory section which contributes to the total exam mark but which will also be tabulated separately. You must achieve a "D" standard in the lab (18 correct out of 40 lab questions for the year) to pass the course. If you score 17 or less out of the 40 lab marks you will receive a grade of F, regardless of your marks for the lecture questions.

  • STUDYING ANATOMY: BIOL 1410 and PHYSIOLOGY: BIOL 1412 1. ORGANIZE YOUR TIME..... Enter into a daily minder or facsimile: i) when assignments are due ii) exam dates

    iii) times set every day for studying each subject (starting from the first day of lecture). 2. During lectures...listen to what is being said, then write notes. Write figure numbers and use the figures

    from the text as you study. 3. Studying

    i) reading the notes and text doesn’t necessarily mean that you are “studying” ii) after lecture every day--highlight the major topics in your notes. This breaks up a sea of words into more easily digestible sections! iii) read the information in each highlighted section. Use diagrams in the text as needed. Then ask yourself “what do I need to know about this?” iv) write this on scrap paper in an abbreviated form without looking at the notes. Then go back and read the notes to see if you made any mistakes or left any information out. v) you had heard the information in lecture that day, you have now read it three times that evening as you study. That’s four times in your memory! vi) try to understand the big picture of the topic– e.g. For Anatomy: What is mitosis? Then tackle the details e.g. what are the phases of mitosis? What occurs in each of these phases? For Physiology: What is the resting membrane potential? What factors produce that potential? Ask yourself these questions out loud as you study. Studying this way provides understanding which is important for anatomy and crucial for Physiology. vii) For labs, keep reviewing the material during lab and during the term.

    4. Writing Exams i) Be rested, have a meal containing carbohydrates.

    ii) Read each question carefully and completely. Read the stem of the question while covering the rest of the question with the computer sheet. Circle key words and draw simple diagrams at the side of the paper if applicable. Think about what the question is asking then slowly expose each answer. iii) Don’t second guess the question. Questions test knowledge and the ability to integrate the information

    . iv) Do not change answers, do the question carefully and right the first time. v) Do the questions you know first, then go back to those that you were not sure about.

    vi) If you don’t do well on the midterm exam, reevaluate where you might have gone wrong.

    Did you leave studying for the last week before exams? Did you spend enough time studying the correct way? Did you read the questions too quickly? Was anxiety a significant problem? (Seek Help). Were you sleep deprived? Hungry? (Brain cells need glucose).

    Help is available from the Academic Learning Centre and from the Instructors (by appointment).

    Faculty of Science Statement on Academic Dishonesty

    The Faculty of Science and The University of Manitoba regard acts of academic dishonesty in

    quizzes, tests, examinations, laboratory reports of assignments as serious offences and may

    assess a variety of penalties depending on the nature of the offence. Acts of academic dishonesty

    include, but are not limited to bringing unauthorized materials into a test or exam, copying from

    another student, plagiarism, and examination impersonation. Note: cell phones, pagers or

    electronic translators are explicitly listed as unauthorized materials, and must not be

    present during tests or examinations. Penalties that may apply, as provided for under the

    University of Manitoba’s Student Discipline By-Law, range from a grade of zero for the

    assignment or examination, failure in the course, to expulsion from the University. Suggested

    penalties assessed by the Faculty of Science for acts of academic dishones
