Scheduled Exams Making-up Policy: Any missed scheduled exam means a zero grade unless a legitimate excuse is provided with a written explanation from a knowledgeable person (such as a parent or physician). For an absence to be excused, students also must notify the instructor (by email only) before missing class or within 24 hours of a missed class/activity. If not, the missed exam would result in a zero grade automatically. The instructor will determine if a student’s excuse is valid. Students CAN NOT make up missed exams. Any student with a valid excuse, the percentage of the final exam score will replace the missed scheduled exam. Missing beyond 1 scheduled exam will automatically result in a zero grade. Missing the final exam will result in a zero grade on the final exam. 12. Other Required Activities: Other required activities may include in-class activities, take-home assignments, pop- up quizzes and so forth. Total points of these activities are approximately 100-300 points. Often these activities may be administered in class without advanced notices; they also serve as records for students’ attendance. Students CAN NOT make up these activities if missed; however, if a student missed an activity due to a legitimate reason, email the instructor within 24 hours of that activity and his/her total possible points will be automatically adjusted (for example, John was too sick to participate in an in-class activity of 20 points one day and he emailed the instructor on the same day; therefore, his total possible points, in lecture portion, would be 980 instead of say 1,000 points.). However, some forms of a written document must be provided by email to the instructor to prove your legitimate excuse. Other required activities may include take-home assignments. The due dates for take-home assignments, if any, will be announced in class. All late take-home assignments will receive zero grades. Zoology 251 (Human Anatomy & Physiology I) course syllabus (by Dr. Shaw, SP 2014)—3 of 3 13. Grading Policy, Attendance and Grades Discrepancy, and Enticements: Students must enroll in lecture and lab in the same semester to receive a grade for this course. All activities in lecture portion will determine 70% of students’ overall course grade; the remaining 30% of the overall course grade will come from students’ laboratory grade. If questions or discrepancy on any activities arise, students must talk to the instructor within a week after activities (exams or others) have been returned back to students. In-progress grades will also be given to students (or posted on Blackboard) approximately once a month when an exam is given back to students. When discrepancy on attendance records arise, students must also talk to the instructor within a week after a latest in-progress grade sheet has been distributed (or posted on Blackboard) to the students. When one-week period had been passed, it is deemed that students have agreed that all grades and attendance records are accurate to the date the latest in-progress grade sheet is given. The final exam is the only exam that will not be returned to students; however, students who wish to look at their final exams must contact the instructor with an email and then look over his/her the final exam by the end of the final exam week. Award to top scorer(s) of each of the four regular exams— Each top scorer(s) of all four scheduled exams will be given a gift card ($20 each) purchased from a local store. This is to encourage students to study diligently. 14. The Overall Course Grade, Attendance Policy, and Optional Projects: IMPORTANT: The adoption of the attendance policy and optional projects is to encourage faithful attendance, to make learning in this course more dynamic, and to provide some grade cushion for students.

    Buzzle – Zoology Terms – Glossary of Biology Terms and Definitions http://www.buzzle.com/articles/biology-terms-glossary-of-biology-terms-and- definitions.html#ZoologyGlossary Biology is the branch of science concerned with the study of life: structure, growth, functioning and evolution of living things. This discipline of science comprises three sub-disciplines that are botany (study of plants), Zoology (study of animals) and Microbiology (study of microorganisms). This vast subject of science involves the usage of myriads of biology terms, which are essential to be comprehended correctly. People involved in the science field encounter innumerable jargons during their study, research or work. Moreover, since science is a part of everybody's life, it is something that is important to all individuals. A Abdomen: Abdomen in mammals is the portion of the body which is located below the rib cage, and in arthropods below the thorax. It is the cavity that contains stomach, intestines, etc. Abscission: Abscission is a process of shedding or separating part of an organism from the rest of it. Common examples are that of, plant parts like leaves, fruits, flowers and bark being separated from the plant. Accidental: Accidental refers to the occurrences or existence of all those species that would not be found in a particular region under normal circumstances. Acclimation: Acclimation refers to the morphological and/or physiological changes experienced by various organisms to adapt or accustom themselves to a new climate or environment. Active Transport: The movement of cellular substances like ions or molecules by traveling across the membrane, towards a higher level of concentration while consuming energy.

  • Biography (Modified, After Festetics 1983)
    Konrad Lorenz’s Biography (modified, after Festetics 1983) 1903: Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (KL) was born in Altenberg /Austria on Nov. 7 as the last of three children of Emma Lorenz and Dr. Adolf Lorenz, professor for orthopedics at the Medical branch of the University of Vienna. In the same year the representative and spacious Altenberg family home was finished. 1907: KL starts keeping animals, such as spotted newts in aquaria, raises some ducklings and is not pleased by his first experiences with a dachshound. Niko Tinbergen, his lifelong colleague and friend, is born on April 15 in Den Haag, The Netherlands. 1909: KL enters elementary school and engages in systematic studies in crustaceans. 1910: Oskar Heinroth, biologist and founder of "Vergleichende Verhaltensforschung" (comparative ethology) from Berlin and fatherlike scientific mentor of the young KL publishes his classical paper on the ethology of ducks. 1915: KL enters highschool (Schottengymnasium Wien), keeps and breeds songbirds. 1918: Wallace Craig publishes the comparative ethology of Columbidae (pigeons), a classics of late US biologist Charles O. Whitman, who was like O. Heinroth, a founding father of comparative ethology. 1921: KL excels in his final exams. Together with friend Bernhard Hellmann, he observes and experiments with aggression in a cichlid (Herichthys cyanoguttatum). This was the base for KL's psychohydraulic model of motivation. 1922: Father Adolf sends KL to New York to take 2 semesters of medicine courses at the ColumbiaUniversity, but mainly to interrupt the relationship of KL with longterm girlfriend Gretl Gebhart, his later wife. This paternal attempt to influence the mate choice of KL failed.

  • Biology Has Been Taught at Bristol – As Botany and Zoology – Since Before the University Was Founded in 1909
    Biology has been taught at Bristol – as Botany and Zoology – since before the University was founded in 1909. Bristol has made significant contributions to many fields, from animal cognition and medicinal plants to entomology, evolutionary Game Theory and bird flight – and the BBC Natural History Unit's proximity to the University has led to television careers for a number of graduates! In 1876, University College, the precursor to the University, appointed Dr. Frederick Adolph Leipner as Lecturer in Botany, Zoology and, amusingly, German. Leipner had trained at the Bristol Medical School, but taught botany and natural philosophy, later combining this with teaching in Vegetable Physiology at the Medical School. He became Professor of Botany in 1884 and was a founding member of the Bristol Naturalists' Society, becoming its President in 1893. Bristol today is proud of its interdisciplinary strengths and, among others, offers Joint Honours Degrees in Geology and Biology, and in Psychology and Zoology. A portent of these modern links is seen in one of the University's most notable early appointments, Conwy Lloyd Morgan, appointed as Professor of Zoology and Geology in 1884 and then – somehow fitting in service as Vice- Chancellor – becoming the first Chair in Psychology (and Ethics). Lloyd Morgan is most famous as a pioneer of the study of comparative animal cognition. He was a highly influential figure for the North American Behaviourist movement: “Lloyd Morgan's cannon” is a comparative psychologist's version of Occam's Razor whereby no behaviour should be ascribed to more complex cognitive mechanisms than strictly necessary. He was the first Fellow of the Royal Society to be elected for psychological work.

    Texas Education Agency Breakout Instrument Proclamation 2014 Subject Chapter 130. Career and Technical Education Course Title §130.206. Anatomy and Physiology (One Science Credit). TEKS (Knowledge and Skills) Student Expectation Breakout Element Subelement (a) General Requirements. This course is recommended for students in Grades 10-12. Recommended prerequisites: three credits of science. To receive credit in science, students must meet the 40% laboratory and fieldwork requirement identified in §74.3(b)(2)(C) of this title (relating to Description of a Required Secondary Curriculum). (b) Introduction. (1) Anatomy and Physiology. In Anatomy and Physiology, students conduct laboratory and field investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. Students in Anatomy and Physiology study a variety of topics, including the structure and function of the human body and the interaction of body systems for maintaining homeostasis. (2) Nature of science. Science, as defined by the National Academy of Sciences, is the "use of evidence to construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as the knowledge generated through this process." This vast body of changing and increasing knowledge is described by physical, mathematical, and conceptual models. Students should know that some questions are outside the realm of science because they deal with phenomena that are not scientifically testable. (3) Scientific inquiry. Scientific inquiry is the planned and deliberate investigation of the natural world. Scientific methods of investigation are experimental, descriptive, or comparative. The method chosen should be appropriate to the question being asked. (4) Science and social ethics. Scientific decision making is a way of answering questions about the natural world.

He was a very intelligent child. He graduated high school early and attended the University of Chicago at the age of fifteen. James loved birds and initially studied ornithology (the study of birds) at college. He later changed his specialty to genetics. In 1950, at the age of 22, Watson received his PhD in zoology from the University of Indiana. James Watson and Francis Crick https://www.ducksters.com/biography/scientists/watson_and_crick.php James D. Watson. Source: National Institutes of Health In 1951, Watson went to Cambridge, England to work in the Cavendish Laboratory in order to study the structure of DNA. There he met another scientist named Francis Crick. Watson and Crick found they had the same interests. They began working together. In 1953 they published the structure of the DNA molecule. This discovery became one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Watson (along with Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for the discovery of the DNA structure. He continued his research into genetics writing several textbooks as well as the bestselling book The Double Helix which chronicled the famous discovery. Watson later served as director of the Cold Spring Harbor Lab in New York where he led groundbreaking research into cancer.
