Learning Outcomes: 1.) Communicate effectively using listening, speaking, reading and writing skills: Students will be attending lectures 2 times a week and they should be able to follow them and take their own class notes. Also, they have to read from the textbook and other sources and extract the information they need. During the lectures, the instructor will ask questions that the students will answer orally, developing their speaking skills. For answering the written tests that will be applied, the students have to develop their reading skills. All the tests will be applied during 60 minutes, thus students will have to understand quickly the fundamentals of each question before answering it. 2.) Solve problems using critical and creative thinking and scientific reasoning: During the lectures the instructor will formulate questions and propose problems. Students will have to use critical and creative thinking and scientific reasoning to answer these questions and solve the problems. 3.) Formulate strategies to locate, evaluate, and apply information: Students will have to locate, evaluate, and apply information obtained from different sources, including diverse textbooks, websites, and tutorials. They will have to compare the information and extract what is required from them in this class. 4.) Describe how natural systems function and recognize the impact of humans on the environment: The content of this class correspond to the biological sciences, thus describing how certain natural systems function. This class describes the anatomy and physiology of various systems in humans, giving the opportunity to describe how these natural systems function, from the level of biological molecules to that of the organism. Several examples of the effects of different environmental factors on the human organism are described.

Reading Assignments: The lecture schedule lists the discussion topics for each week's meetings as well as the textbook and study guide reading assignments that support the lecture. Students are responsible for all readings that relate to the course objectives.

Grading Scale: 250 points 5 tests at 50 points each. 100 points Mid-Term Exam. 100 points Final Exam. _______________________________ 450 points Total. A B C D F 400 - 450 350 - 399 300 - 349 250 - 299 < 249

Tests/Exams: 1.) Tests will be given at the beginning of the scheduled class. They will include vocabulary identification, multiple choice, matching, short answer, true/false, and diagram/model identifications. 2.) All students are required to bring a green Scantron answer sheet and at least one #2 pencil/eraser to each test. 3.) Five tests, a mid-term exam and a final exam will be given. There will be no makeup tests/exams. Students will be responsible for attending all tests/exams on their scheduled date. There will be no exceptions.

Attendance: 1.) Students are expected to attend each scheduled class meeting. 2.) The instructor reserves the right to drop any student who has missed 3 classes. 3.) An Incomplete (I) will not be given, except in the case of hospitalization or a similar problem on the day of the final exam. In order to be considered for an Incomplete (I) grade a student must have successfully completed a minimum of one-half the work in the course with a minimum grade of C or better. Note: the Incomplete (I) grade must be completed in a time agreed upon between the professor and the student. If not completed by the agreed time, the Incomplete (I) becomes an F. Last day to drop this class with a grade of W is Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Students are reminded that it is their responsibility to withdraw if they wish to receive a W for the course.

4.) Students are expected to arrive to class on time. Tests/Exams distributed at the beginning of class will not be given to students are writing 10 minutes late. Classroom will be locked and no students will be allowed in after start of test/exam.

Student Responsibility and Conduct: Professional students are responsible for taking charge of their own education by being prepared before every lecture session and conducting themselves appropriately during all learning activities. Class disruptions that prevent other students from benefiting from the learning process will not be tolerated by the instructor. These include unwarranted noises, talking among students while the instructor explains important concepts or answers questions posed by another student, unacceptable gestures and the operation of electronic devices (beepers and cell phones) during regular lecture sessions.

CELLULAR PHONE REGULATIONS

The following regulations concerning cellular phone usage will be strictly enforced in all classrooms and laboratories. STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE CLASS. All cellular phones must be turned off or placed in silent mode prior to entering the classroom or laboratory. Use of cellular phones during lecture and lab is strictly prohibited. In the laboratory, use of the cell phone will be considered a safety violation and the student will be asked to leave the lab immediately. All cellular phones must be stored in your purse, book-bag, or pocket during lecture or lab. Hands-free earpieces must also be stored and cannot be worn during lecture or lab. In addition to phone conversations, the cellular phone may not be used for text messaging, picture messaging, web browsing, etc. during lectures and labs.

Your professor gives you his/her undivided attention during class. Please have the courtesy to do the same in return.

MIAMI DADE COLLEGE Test Taking Procedures Policy on Cheating

On test day, the students must comply with the following procedures: Students must be at least 2 to 3 seats apart during an exam. There will be no talking or communication of any kind during an exam. All cell phones, beepers, or other electronic devices must be turned off during an exam. If you need assistance, raise your hand and the instructor will assist you. All documents (scantron sheets) must contain the students full name and I.D. number. All exams will be numbered, as to check for any missing tests. When a student has finished his/her test, it must be handed in immediately and the student is to step out of the class until all other students have finished. The instructor will call everyone back into the classroom when exam time is complete.

What is considered cheating and what parameters will be taken if caught cheating: If a student is talking during an exam, it will be assumed that the student is cheating. If the student is caught with open notes, written answers, or an old exam with written answers, it will be assumed that the student is cheating. If the student is caught passing information to another student, either verbally or written, it will be assumed that those students are cheating. If a student is caught doing any of the above, that students full name and I.D. number will be acquired, and the student will be asked to turn in the test and leave the class. Students caught cheating will obtain an automatic grade of F (failure) for the semester. The names and I.D. numbers of students caught cheating will be handed over to the appropriate department head person and to the dean of the corresponding campus. A student, who has been caught cheating, might be asked to present his/herself to the department head person or campus dean. A student might face up to a severe penalty as complete expulsion from Miami Dade College.
