New York City College of TechnologyDepartment of Biological SciencesBIOLOGY I (BY 1101) COURSE INFORMATIONMATERIALSIn addition to the lecture text and the lab manual, you will need a separate notebook for lecture andlab. For the lab, you will also need pencils, a pen, and a lab coat. These supplies can all be obtainedfrom the bookstore.ATTENDANCE AND LATENESSYou must attend both lecture and lab. Absences in excess of 10% of the total lecture or lab hours willresult in a 10% drop from your grade due to an inability to meet deliverables of participation. This is inaddition to other penalties that will be imposed for failure to complete academic requirements. Nomore than 3 lecture or 2 lab absences will be tolerated. It is expected that you will be in your seat andready to work at the start of each period. Any 2 latenesses will be considered to be equal to 1 absence.GRADING POLICYYour grade for the course is computed by adding 50% of yourlecture average to 50% of your lab average. A student must passBOTH lab and lecture in order to pass. A failure in eithercomponent will result in a final grade of F for the course. Thereare 4 lecture examinations which each cover one quarter of thelecture work as indicated in the outline; these are announced atleast one week in advance by your instructor. 60% of your labgrade is derived from your quiz average (at least 5 quizzes). 10%of the grade will be derived from at least one full scientific labLetter GradeAAB BBC CDFNumerical 76.960-69.959.9 and belowreport. The remaining 30% of your lab average is based on thequality and completeness of your lab work as indicated in the Attendance policy. ALL GRADES ARECOUNTED; NONE ARE DROPPED NOR ARE THEY CURVED. NO MAKE-UPS ARE GIVEN EXCEPT AT THEDISCRETION OF THE INSTRUCTOR PENDING SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN PROOF OF REASON FORABSENCE. All medical documentation must be submitted by the student to Student Accessibility Center(SAC) in L237 (on the second floor where the Library & General Buildings meet). SAC will review thedocumentation and provide a letter for the student to share with the instructor if accommodations arewarranted.WORKLOADConsiderable effort must be expended in order to satisfactorily complete the course. It is expected thatyou will spend at least 3 hours per week in preparation for each credit hour of course work; this is atotal of 12 hours. If you are not able to devote the requisite amount of time to your studies then youshould seriously reconsider your decision to take the course at this time.

Follow the guidelines for email contact hereYou are responsible for all material, announcements, or assignments mentioned in class whether you arepresent or not. It is therefore advisable to write down the name of your instructor(s), the office, phoneextension and office hours. It is also advised to get the names and phone numbers of several classmateswho may be contacted in the event that you are absent. Check Blackboard for announcements, links andschedules from your instructor.In order to optimize your performance, it is strongly advised that you read your lecture and lab assignmentsprior to coming to class. At the end of each chapter in the text and in the lab manual review questions areavailable for you to test yourself. A Student Study Guide may be purchased along with your text book.Tutorial help in the Resource Center is usually available if additional assistance is needed.You may use the online reading guide with supplemental material athttps://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/openstax-bio/
New York City College of TechnologyDepartment of Biological SciencesSTRATEGIES FOR LEARNINGBeing a successful learner means understanding how knowledge is acquired and utilized.Credit: Jeremy Seto (CC-BY-NC-SA)1. Remember Science is a foreign language. The first thing a student needs to do is learn the basicvocabulary. Create Flash Cards to learn vocabulary This is the base for all subsequent learning2. Understand Recalling definitions is meaningless if you can't use the terms appropriately Use the words in sentences and link related terms together Create concept maps that illustrate how terms work together Use the following tutorial to learn how to do this3. Apply Can you use the newly acquired knowledge to solve new problems? Can you follow the relationships in your concept maps to use the knowledge? Use the knowledge to identify examples and problems in every day life4. Analyze Can you break down information into components to formulate generalizations? Analysis of elements Analysis of relationships Analysis of organization Most Analysis in this course comes into play in the Laboratory where observations can bediscussed in the context of the preceding levels of knowledge.
