make sure to add the correct section when adding our course. Please see me or send an email to me if you are havingproblems.

Test Forms: 5 Apperson Data Link 1200 forms; A0997. These forms allow for 100 multiple choice questions on either side. Threeforms will be sufficient for 4 lecture exams, 3 lab exams, and the final.

Safety Equipment:

A lab coat that extends below the waste is required for every lab session. Disposable lab coats can be purchased at the BlinnBookstore for approximately $10. Disposable lab coats will not be returned at the end of the semester. If you know you will betaking multiple science classes, it will probably be cheaper to invest in a cloth laboratory coat. Cloth lab coats will be sterilizedand returned the day of the final. These too are available from the bookstore or from other local or online sources.Safety glasses will be used in quite a few labs. You are not required to purchase them as there is a classroom set available foruse. If you have your own that can be left in the lab, you are welcome to bring and use your own.

Head Phones: As you will be using laptops in the lab for several activities that have sound, I would like you to bring a set ofheadphones or earbuds that can be kept in the pocket of your lab coat for use when needed. This way you will be sure to have themwhen needed.

Please see me ASAP if you have any difficulty obtaining the required materials. I want to make sure you have a great start to thesemester.

Course RequirementsInternet Access

Access to the Internet is REQUIRED. Internet access at home would certainly be a plus, however, all students at Blinn Collegeand/or Texas A&M have computing resources available to them. eCampus is an online course tool. It is in essence a virtual classroom through which I will be posting course related materials.You will also be able to contact me with questions and or problems you might be having and have the ability to contact yourclassmates. It will be your responsibility to check this site regularly: https://ecampusd2l.blinn.edu/

Online Homework

I will be using Launchpad to assign homework for each chapter. The online homework assignments consist of Learning Curveassignments and Summative Quizzes. These assignments are REQUIRED and constitute 10% of your grade.

Learning Curve activities represent adaptive learning exercises that are individually geared toward your understanding of the chapterreading. If you attempt these without trying to read the chapter first you could wind up spending 2 hours trying to complete theassignment. While each question provides a hyperlink to direct you to the content in the eBook that the question covers, it is alwaysbest to read the chapter first so that you are already somewhat familiar with the content. You can then link to the chapter material forhelp with the questions. This is the most efficient means of completing these assignments. Coverage in lecture should then helpsolidify your understanding of the material and allow for you to ask questions. Learning curve assignments represent 1/3 of eachchapter grade.

The summative quizzes are intended to gauge your preparedness for chapter content prior to the exam. They consist of 13-20 multiplechoice questions and represent 2/3 of each chapter grade. Two attempts are allowed with unlimited time. The final score representsan average of the two attempts.

The lowest four grades in this category will be dropped. This should take care of any missed assignments or problems associated withtechnical difficulties. Your score for this category will be the average of your Launchpad Chapter HW (and clicker participation, seebelow) % x 100.

Optional Bonus assignments are also offered through Launchpad. The number of assignments per chapter varies with a total fourpossible points per chapter [(# of Points/total points) x 4]. Total possible bonus points you can earn over the course of the semester is42 through these optional chapter assignments.

Assignment types and their weight are as follows:

3 of 14

Activities (1 point upon completion)Animated Tutorials (1 point upon completion)Animated Tutorial Quizzes (2 points, grade as scored)Media-clips (1 point upon completion)

I strongly encourage you to complete these optional assignments. They have been chosen as they relate to key content you should belearning this semester.

While I often give reminders in class, it is your responsibility to keep up with these assignments.

The deadline for all online assignments is 11:59 pm the night before your scheduled lecture exam. It will be to your advantage to workon these assignments as we progress through the material. If you leave them until the last minute you will not have time to completethem.

Lab Homework

Each lab will have an assignment and will be scored out of 10 points. Lab review worksheets are generally completed as homeworkand turned in at the beginning of the following lecture period. Your grade for the lab will either be determined by the review worksheetassigned and/or in some cases, a follow-up quiz in eCampus. No late work or make-up quizzes covering lab material will be acceptedor administered. In most cases your lab assignments will be handed back during the next class period. Please don't forget to keep upwith these. The lowest two lab grades will be dropped. Your grade for this category will be your lab work % x 75.

Participation via iClickers (REEF)

Beginning the second week of class, I will begin incorporating follow-up, discussion, and review questions, throughout the lectureperiod. I would ask that you try to answer the questions off the top of your head and not refer to your notes when attempting thesequestions. There is no penalty for a wrong answer. The feedback I get allows me to clarify a topic or concept. You are more likely toremember the explanation if you get the question wrong than if you just looked up the answer and don't know why it is correct.

Your active participation in each of these questions will result in four clicker module grades out of 10 points. These four 10 pointgrades will be included in your Online HW category. As noted above, I will be dropping a total of four grades in this category due to thenumber of grades that will be generated.

Lecture Exams

There will be four lecture exams this semester each worth 100 points. Your lowest exam score will be down-weighted 50% for a totalof 50 points. This represents 350 exam points. Exams can include multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, short answer and shortessay questions. Make-up exams are only offered to students with an excused absence. Excused absences include those officiallyrecognized by Blinn College, plus a death in the family with appropriate documentation. If you become ill or know you will be missingthat day, email me asap (if you are able to). In most cases where a make-up is allowed it is required you take the exam prior to the firstclass period following your absence. An unexcused absence from an exam will result in a grade of zero.

Laboratory Exams

There will be three lab exams each worth 75 points. These will be administered in a “practicum” format. Wherever possible examquestions will involve visual identification, interpretation, and or analysis of data or materials. Exams are multiple choice. No make-up exams will be offered for lab exams. An unexcused absence from an exam will result in a grade of zero.

Final Exam

The final exam will be comprehensive and be worth 200 points. The exam will consist of a minimum of 100 multiple choice questions.The number of questions on the exam will depend in part on how much untested material is covered prior to the exam. The maximumnumber will be 125. You will have 2 1/4 hours to complete this exam.

Virtual Collection and Group Presentation

Students will work throughout the semester to assemble a virtual collection reflecting animal diversity. While this project will beassembled and submitted individually, it will also include a group presentation component as part of your grade. Details of thisassignments can be found in Appendix I of your Lab Manual. A short in class review of this assignment will be given when timepermits (50 points).

Bonus

The only opportunity for bonus points during the course of the semester is thru the completion of optional chapter assignments inLaunchpad (maximum 42 points) and completion of the end of course evaluation offered toward the end of the semester (SPOI) for 3points.

Please do not ask for any additional individualized "extra credit" opportunities.

Expectations for Student BehaviorPlease be an active and participate in class when askedListen and respect othersBe comfortable in taking risksComplete all assignmentsCell phones use should be limited to polling or laboratory documentationBe punctual for all classesDiscuss class concerns either after class or by visiting my at my office.Be prepared for class by reading the chapter prior to class.

Expectations for Laboratory Sessions and HomeworkStudents are expected to preview laboratory activities from the lab book prior to coming to class. Whenever possible, readthe introduction to the lab and to each exercise that is listed on the calendar for that day.Students should focus on completing the hands on portion of the laboratory activities in class and leave summary questionsfor completion outside of class or after all activities for the day are complete.Free response questions should be given as complete sentences and should address all parts of the question. In manyinstances, the answers to questions come from readings in the lab or as a result of an activity you carried out. Deductionswill be made for incomplete work.Lab homework is to be turned in at the beginning of the lecture period following the completion of the activity the previousclass period unless otherwise directed. NO late work will be accepted unless accompanied by an excused absence.Missing lab is not an excuse for not completing homework assignments. It is your responsibility to contact a member of yourlab group or classmate to obtain the assignment or missed information. When the assignment involves evaluating class data,data tables will be posted in eCampus. If you are unsure of the assignment, you can also email me at lrichardson@blinn.edu.Even if you miss the in class activity, you are responsible for the content on the lab practicals.You are encouraged to work collaboratively outside of class on homework assignments to ensure your understanding of thematerial but do not copy a classmate's paper verbatim. Deductions will be made accordingly.Cell phones may be used in lab to photograph experimental results, slide images, or any specimen provided for examination.You will want to obtain a free QR scanner code app from your app store to utilize all the resources provided in your lab book.(see materials)Generating lab "reviews" by creating summaries or image libraries aligned to the lab practical content (see lab exam reviewsheets) is highly encouraged.purpose.Backpacks and bags are to be placed along the side wall as directed so as to leave the bench-tops clear and free to completelaboratory exercises.All drinks and food must be put away prior to entering the lab AND closed toed shoes MUST be worn. I will be policing thisheavily. Students must also wear a laboratory coat anytime they are working in the laboratory regardless of the activity they areinvolved in.Safety glasses and gloves are also required to be worn for any laboratory that involves the handling of chemicals orpreserved specimens.

Tips on How To Achieve SuccessLEARNING

Achieving success in any college level class generally involves higher level thinking. This is something you may not have beenexpected to do until now. To understand the levels of thinking or learning, examine the image that reflects Bloom's Taxonomy.

5 of 14

Most students when they "study" are focusing on What. This represents the lowest level of thinking and just reflects Knowledge. All too often this is achieved through memorization. I often see students working hard to generate quizlets or flash cards thatfocus on this level. Where they often go wrong however, is that they copy and paste descriptions or definitions straight fromsome resource (textbook or internet) instead of creating their own description based on their understanding of the definition; thatis, put it in their own words. When asked what it means, they are often at a loss. This is the beginning of how the second level,Comprehension, is achieved. To begin true "learning", you must be able describe How and Why, and apply it to What If scenarios.

Take a look at the Study Cycle shown in the image below. This cycle reflects the general recommendation I usually providestudents when they come to me asking what they can do to improve their success and is shown succinctly in this image puttogether by Louisiana State University's Center for Academic Success.

6 of 14

All too often students think their barrier to learning the information stems from an instructor's teaching. Classroom instruction ismeant to help with comprehension. This is your opportunity to ask questions for clarification if you have done your work ahead oftime and have previewed the material before class. No real learning comes from spending all your time furiously writing downinformation if you are not understanding what it means. Learning is the result of three major components; the instructor, thestudent, and external resources (textbooks).

Many students like to form study groups. I highly encourage this and for you to form those groups early on. In my opinion, for astudy group to be effective, you should be using the group time to help at 2 points in your study cycle; review (frequent meetingsto clarify class notes and attempt to answer questions you have) and to assess your learning (can you take turns explaining keyconcepts to members of your group). It is common knowledge in academia that the best way to learn a topic is to teach it!

MINDSET

Another key component to achieving success is mindset. All too often we pigeon whole our abilities when we say things like "I'mgood at writing but I am horrible at math". This is what leads to a closed mindset. A person with this mindset would see all thework I have outlined above as wasted time., They can't see themselves learning the material because they are "not good at it" or"don't think that way". Trying to study with this kind of mindset is definitely not productive. Unfortunately these students often seetheir only solution is to drop the class. "In contrast, those students with a growth mindset, work hard, even on work for classesthey don't like, and because they know the extra work will likely produce improved results, they see greater success. Thosestudents are not smarter, they just see themselves differently" (Doyle and Zakrajsek, The New Science of Learning).

Everyone, including you, has the potential to do well in this class. Is the material challenging at times? Yes! Is there a lot ofmaterial that you are responsible for? Yes! This makes it all the more important to set up your learning strategies early and tostick with them.

Learning Strategies Inventory

Finally, complete the following self-assessment that reflects your current study strategies. It has been adapted from McGuire andMcGuire's, 2015 book entitled Teach Student How to Learn.

7 of 14

Answer True or False to each of the following statements with regard to one or more classes you have taken at the college level.

1. I always preview the material that will be discussed before I go to class.2. I go over my lecture notes as soon as possible after the class lecture to rework them and note problems.3. I try to do my homework without using example problems as a guide or copying answers from my notes or text book.4. I regularly go to see my instructor during office hours or to the Learning Center for tutoring to discuss problems or questions

before the exam or quiz.5. I rework all of the homework problems and questions before the exam or quiz.6. I spend some time studying for a class at least five days per week (outside of class).7. I make mnemonics for myself to help me remember facts and equations.8. I make diagrams or draw mental pictures of the concepts discussed in class.9. I participate in study groups where we do homework and quiz ourselves on the material.

10. I rework all of the quiz and exam items (questions) I have missed before the next class session.11. I realize I can still do well in this class even if I have done poorly on the quizzes and exams up to this point.

This inventory can be used to predict your grade in a class. Reflect on the classes you based your inventory on. Did you achievethe grade predicted?

Blinn College PoliciesAll policies, guidelines, and procedures in the Blinn College Catalog (http://catalog.blinn.edu/), Blinn College Board Policies(http://pol.tasb.org/Home/Index/1204), and the Blinn College Administrative Regulations (https://www.blinn.edu/administrative-regulations/) are applicable to this course.

Specific information on civility, attendance, add/drop, scholastic integrity, students with disabilities, final grade appeal, alternativeretailers, campus carry and proctoring arrangements and cost. (http://www.blinn.edu/syllabus-policies/)

Notice of any action taken under these protocol and procedures, by Blinn College or its employees, may be delivered by hand, throughthe U.S. Postal Service, or electronically to the student’s Blinn Buc e-mail account. Notice shall be deemed received upon actualreceipt, on deposit in the U.S. Mail, or upon entering the information processing system used by Blinn College for Blinn Buc e-mailaccounts, whichever first occurs.

Course PoliciesAttendance Policy: Attendance will benefit you in several ways. Primarily, your understanding of the course material is heightenedfrom double exposure to the material (text and class). Second, you are responsible for all information presented in class even on thedays that you are absent. If absences are necessary (which I understand, life happens), please attempt to contact me before class.

In 4 credit hour science classes with a lecture and lab, missing lecture, lab, or both will count as one absence. Students accumulatingtwo week’s worth of absences (4 instances) will be dropped.

Last day to drop classes w/a “Q”- Fall 2019: Tuesday, November 26

Eating and Drinking: Eating and drinking are not allowed in classrooms or laboratories.

Laboratory Safety: Students will be provided with laboratory safety training during the first week of class. Students are expected tofollow all safety rules including rules related to proper lab attire.

Dress Policy: To ensure a safe working environment in the laboratory, students must wear closed toed shoes each day, be wearingclothing that extends to the knee when seated and a lab coat, no exceptions. If you show up with open toe shoes, or inappropriateattire regardless of the activity planned for the day, you will be required to leave the lab and will be assigned an unexcused absencefor the class day. Lab coats will be stored in the laboratory so that they are always available each class period. If you choose to bringyour own safety glass, they will be stored with your lab coat.

iClickers: You will be required to bring your smart phone or device for REEF polling to class everyday. We will be using them duringlecture to gauge your understanding of material and to promote group discussion and learning. Daily participation will be used togenerate 4 grades linked to the content associated with each exam. These grades will be added to the Online Homework Category andwill be weighed the same as a chapter assignment.

Testing: During examinations, all cell phones must be turned off or placed on silent and put away (not on your person). This includessmart watches (Apple, etc.). All backpacks and bags should also be placed along the side walls of the classroom.

Problem Resolution: If you have a complaint about your class, you should first request a conference with your instructor to try andresolve the problems or issues. If the problems or issues cannot be resolved at the instructor level, you should request a conferencewith the Science Department Head.
