General Biology – BSC 1005. This is a completely on-line instructional course. This is an e-Learning course that does not have face-to-face meetings. The midterm and final exams will be given at the Central campus and/or North campus e-testing center. The dates for the midterm exam and final exam are listing in the course offering. To stay in the course students must complete two mandatory tasks: 1) Post an e-mail to Dr. Stouder within the on-line course and 2) complete the Syllabus quiz. These two tasks MUST be completed by the due date listed in the course offering or the student will be denied access to the course. All tests will be given at the testing center at Broward College’s Central and North campus. Faculty Introduction: Welcome to the fascinating and wonderful world of biology. I’ll be your professor, Dr. Leo B. Stouder. I’m a retired doctor of chiropractic medicine. I’m also a full time tenured professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Biology. My associate degree was in liberal arts and my bachelor was in Human Biology. So this course will take a decidedly human approach to biology. Biology is the study of life. It is the study of you. As you learn about biology, you’re learning about yourself. Course Description: This course is designed to give you an understanding of the principles of Biology, while focusing on the underlying unity of life. This course is primarily for non-science majors. If you need a science course with a lab then consider including BSC1005L. Since this is a course for non-science students I try to make the course interesting and relevant to your world. It’s ALL about you! Meets Area 4A general education requirements for the A.A. degree. Meets Areas 4 or 5 general education requirements for the A.S. degree Methods of Instruction: This is a 3-credit hour course. Normally, a 3-credit hour course would meet two times each week (during a 16 week term) for a total of 3 hours per week or 48 hours per term. In this class, we will not meet at anytime during the semester. You will engage in structured totally out-of-class or on-line activities for the entire course. Your two tests will be given at the testing center at BC Central or North campus. You will complete four on-line activities, ten quizzes and you’ll be required to view videos and listen to podcasts as part of the learning experience. You’ll have an opportunity to complete one extra credit worth ten points, please see the syllabus for more details. Learning Outcomes: 1. First we will learn what science is and what it tries to prove. In addition we will study what science doesn’t want to prove. 2. The basis of life is the cell. You’ll understand why this is and be able to converse intelligently about basic biological principles. 3. Since the cell is the basis of life, you’ll need to know where the energy comes from to run the body. 4. How does the body reproduces itself? You’ll discover that this chapter doesn’t deal with sex. 5. What is DNA? You’ll know this so well that you’ll be able to… pass it on. 6. Heredity is all around us, you’ll learn that the pea plant has a lot to teach us.
