Course is listed under NROSCI 1070
Grading:
Your grade will be calculated as follows:
1070 & 2070: 20% from each of 4 exams
1070:
20% from assignments accompanying laboratories and problem-based
learning sessions.
2070:
20% from discussion of journal club articles and a written critical analysis of
one of those articles.
Exams will cover material presented in lectures and handouts. Although textbook readings
will not explicitly be covered on examinations, students are highly encouraged to at least skim
this material to provide a better understanding of information from lectures. Furthermore, the
textbook should be used as a reference while studying lecture notes and handouts and
preparing for problem based learning exercises.
It is expected that students will be fully-knowledgeable concerning basic principles of control
of cell function and membrane transport, which are covered in the prerequisites for this
course. Although this material will not be explicitly examined, students must fully understand
this information in order to comprehend the principles covered in this course. It is highly
recommended that all students review basic cell biology by studying Chapters 1-5 (pp. 2-66)
in the Guyton and Hall text.
Written assignments associated with laboratories and problem based learning sessions will be
due 1 WEEK following the lab or discussion. Although students are encouraged to use all
resources at their disposal (including the library, other students, and instructors) in completing
these assignments, answers must be written individually, without collaboration from
classmates.
If a legitimate reason (severe illness, etc.) prevents a student from taking an in-class exam or
turning in an assignment on the scheduled date, he or she must notify Dr. Yates in advance
and pre-arrange an alternate time to take the exam or turn-in the assignment. If arrangements
are not made B E F O R E H A N D , the student will receive a failing grade for the
exam/assignment.
