Student Learning Outcomes

• Explain why evolution is the most all-encompassing scientific explanation for the history of life and the similarities in biochemistry and physiological processes among living things.
• Can students answer general questions about community and population ecology and natural selection after completing a related activity in lab?
• Students will be able to analyze data and construct a graph of their results in a scientifically appropriate manner.
• Students' developmental learning will be addressed through tailored instruction using clicker technology such that students who are taught in courses using clicker technology will have a greater ability to solve metric problems.
• Students' developmental learning will be addressed through tailored instruction using clicker technology such that students who are taught in courses using clicker technology will have greater abilities to understand new terminology through recognizing the meanings of prefixes, suffixes and word roots.
• An advisory prereq of READ 100 has been added to Bio 1 course outline. It is currently in the queue for review by Ed Design.
• Students completing relevant assignments in Area B courses will evaluate the impact of science on their daily lives
• Classify the molecules of living systems and apply basic principles of chemistry to their interaction.
• Relate cell structure and physiology.
• Compare and contrast the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of energy transformation in cells.
• Evaluate how life forms duplicate, maintain control, and exhibit hereditary patterns.
• Summarize the various types of evidence used to examine evolutionary principles.
• Assess how population and community dynamics are affected by ecological interactions.
• Describe how the systems of the human body interact to maintain homeostasis.
