overview  location  10 Leidy Laboratories  time  MWF 11:00-11:50  syllabus  BIOL 122 Syllabus This is the second semester of a full-year introductory biology lecture and laboratory course sequence. Biology 122 picks up where Biology 121 left off, considering the evolution of organismal diversity, how cells differentiate and manifest themselves as tissues, how tissues are integrated into organisms, and the nature and consequences of organismal interactions with abiotic and biotic environmental factors. As with Biology 121, this course emphasizes modern mechanistic and experimental approaches to biology. Our goal is to provide a general understanding of how living systems work and an introduction to biological research methods. In other words, we will address not just the "what", but also the "how" and (where possible) the "why". The regular lectures will be supplemented by guest research talks on currently active areas of biological research

	course information textbook BIOLOGY, 6th edition, by Campbell and Reece (available from the Penn Bookstore). grading and exams The course will be graded on a 450 point scale. Three 100-point midterm examinations will be given during regular class periods. Each will cover one-third of the course. The lowest of your three midterm scores will be dropped in computing your course grade. No make-up exams will be offered for the midterms; if you miss a midterm, that exam will be the one that is automatically dropped. The final exam will be a comprehensive exam that all students must take, and it will count for 100 points of your course grade. The laboratory will count for 150 points of your grade. Answer keys will be posted immediately following exams. Requests for exam regrades will be considered for two weeks after the exam is returned to you, and all answers will be subject to reconsideration at that time. No exceptions will be made to these policies. lecture schedule Please refer to the BIOL122PDF talk schedule for more information on this course. academic integrity All relevant University policies regarding Academic Integrity must be followed.
