All freshmen and some transfer students are required to take placement tests in English and Mathematics and, if necessary, foreign languages. The results of these tests are used to help plan each student's course of study.
two to three yearsMost college degree programs typically have certain general course requirements. These courses may include life and physical sciences, history, humanities, math and English, and foreign language. Known as general education or core requirements, these courses can take two to three years to complete.
The Biological Sciences B.S. degree is more oriented toward science and math courses, with fewer General Education requirements. The Biological Sciences B.A. degree allows students to pursue a typical liberal arts education while still receiving excellent training in biology.
Biochemists and biophysicists study the chemical and physical principles of living things and of biological processes, such as cell development, growth, heredity, and disease.
A biology major studies the science behind living organisms. This includes the origin and history of animal and plant life, and their characteristics, function, processes and habits.
This semester, students in BIO 1111 are eligible to participate in a research study that aims to understand how combinations of supports for learning and motivation can help learning and achievement in the course. Participants will receive extra course credit – up to 5% to the final grade when completing all study assignments, or percentage that is commensurate with the rate and timeliness of completion of assignments. The research team will present the study in lecture during the first week of the semester, and students can ask clarification questions and enroll during that time. To contact the research team with any questions, please email: [email protected]
INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY I is an undergraduate survey course designed for students who are interested in biology-related careers. The course will cover a broad range of topics including: biological evolution, biological diversity (microbes, plants, and animals), animal physiology, and general ecology. We will begin our study by defining evolution, examining how it is studied, how new species are defined, and how lifeforms are classified. We will then examine a number of different life forms at increasing levels of complexity. This will proceed from the microbes (excepting viruses) with their incredible metabolic diversity that sustains life on earth, through the “higher” eukaryotes including their structure-function, reproduction, feeding strategies and distribution as well as strategies used by different organisms to adapt to their environments. We then examine aspects of animal anatomy and physiology and how animals interact with their environment. Moving on and finishing with ecology and biodiversity, we will examine the interactions among all of these forms of life and how biological communities are organized.
A borderline-case is any student whose final grades falls less than a predetermined percentage away from a higher letter grade (i.e. C- to a C), this is usually 0.05% but not guaranteed every semester. Once the borderline student has been identified the Bio-1111 faculty will evaluate all non-graded assignments associated with the course, this includes but is not limited to: non-graded quizzes, supplemental material completion, lecture attendance, diamond peer tutor attendance, office hour visits. The criteria for determining assistance is predetermined and different from semester-to-semester. Some students will qualify and be granted a higher letter grade and some will not. These decisions are final and not open for debate.
The final 10% of your lecture grade will come from the required electronic quizzes through MasteringBiology.com and SOAR recitation quizzes. Both MasteringBiology quizzes and tutorial along with SOAR recitation quizzes will be averaged together to give you an overall quiz grade to count as 10% of your final grade.
When available, lecture notes will be posted shortly before or after each lecture.
If you are late, enter as quietly as possible. Find a seat near the back or sides, do not make a scene and try to sit in the middle of row if you are late. Never enter through the doors located at the bottom of the lecture hall, as it interrupts the lecture instructor. Late and disruptive students may not receive any credit for attending lecture.
