COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is a study of morphology, anatomy and physiology of higher plants. Emphasis is on plant structure, functions of plant parts, plant processes, plant growth and development, and plant inheritance.

TEXTBOOKS AND OTHER MATERIALS (OPTIONAL): Biology of Plants, Raven, Evert, and Eichhorn; 5th ed., 1992. Laboratory Topics in Biology, Evert and Eichhorn; 5th ed., 1992. COURSE COMPETENCIES: Upon successful completion of this course the student should be able to: 1. identify the major organs of higher plants - roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. 2. identify the issue types which make up each of the plant organs. 3. describe the function of each tissue type and of each plant organ. 4. discuss the process of photosynthesis, it’s importance to mankind and the effect of the environment on photosynthetic rates. 5. describe the flow of water through the plant and the effect of the environment on plant/water relations. 6. describe growth in plants by drawing and labeling the stages of cell division (mitosis), and describing the process of cell enlargement. 7. describe the processes of seed production in plants beginning with pollination. 8. discuss the role of plant hormones in plant growth and development.

For your safety, if you have a medical condition that results in seizures, blackouts, etc. (e.g., from epilepsy, diabetes), please inform your instructor. This information will be kept confidential. If you wish to seek accommodations due to a disability, please contact Services for Students with Disabilities, Building 410, Room 210.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:

The College will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students should notify the Counselor for Students with Disabilities (located in Counseling and Career Development, Building 410, Room 210) and their instructors of any special needs. Instructors should be notified on the first day of classes.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES IN CLASSROOMS:

To minimize classroom disruptions and protect the integrity of test-taking situations, activated electronic communication devices such as pagers and telephones are generally not permitted in classrooms at Trident Technical College. The only exception to this policy will be for on-call emergency personnel (police, fire, EMS), who will be required to notify their classroom instructor of their need for such devices at the beginning of the term and provide documentation verifying their occupation. However, on-call emergency personnel may not leave a testing situation, communicate by electronic means and return to complete an examination. In these cases, instructors should make arrangements for re-testing.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Before attending classes, students must meet all prerequisites and officially register for all courses. Prompt and regular attendance is the responsibility of the students. Students are responsible for all material covered and all assignments made in class. Any time you are absent from a class, laboratory or other scheduled events, it is your responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements for any make-up work if permitted by the instructor.

An absence is defined as nonattendance for any reason, including illness, emergency or official leave. If a student arrives late or leaves before the instructor dismisses class, the student may also be considered absent. All class sessions are important. Any time a student misses a class he/she increases the risk of making a failing grade.

If a student quits coming or participating in the course and does not officially withdraw by the withdrawal date for each semester, that student will receive a grade of F or U. The instructor cannot assign a grade of W. If a student receives financial aid or veterans’’ aid, his/her aid may be revised as a result of any changes in his his/her course schedule.

ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR STATEMENT:

Adjunct faculty do not have offices on campus. To contact an adjunct faculty member by phone, call the Industrial and Engineering Technology Division (574-6156 or 574-6115). The administrative specialists or program coordinator will contact the adjunct and request that he/she call you at the phone number you specify.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS REQUIRED OF STUDENTS FOR ADMISSION AND PROGRESSION IN THE HORTICULTURE TECHNOLOGY DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

The following is a list of essential skills and functions required to enter the courses in this program. The required functions are included but not limited to the given list. The instructor must maintain lab and class safety. To protect students, faculty, staff and property, the instructor may need to remove a student from a course if that student does not follow instructions or if a student does not demonstrate an understanding of safety or if the student's conduct is determined unsafe by the instructor. Any prescription medication directly affecting the central nervous system causing drowsiness, loss of alertness, effecting overall motor function or impeding the ability to stay focused and on task results in an unsafe lab environment for the individual and others. Applicants and students should be able to perform these essential functions or with reasonable accommodations, such as the help of compensatory techniques and/or assistive devices demonstrate the ability to become proficient in these essential functions.
