CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTION
Introduction to the basic laws and
theories of biological inheritance and variation.
OBJECTIVES & SCOPE: Provide an
introduction to basic laws and theories of biological inheritance and
variation. To familiarize the student with the basic cellular and
molecular concepts within the science of genetics. Also included will be
a brief look into the technology used in the field.
GRADING: Grades will be based on four
hourly exams. The student will have the choice of taking the exams on
the CCC campus or at a participating institution. Prior arrangements
must be made and approved by a CCC administrator (Dean or Department
Chair) during the first week of classes. Each exam will contain 50 to 75
questions. The exams will be primarily objective being made up of
multiple choice, true or false, and matching questions. Some short essay
questions/problems will be part of Exam 1.
The first exam represents 15% of the total grade. The lower value is NOT
a reflection of the importance of the material. The material represents
the foundation for the rest of the course. The value is lower to allow
the student to "get acquainted" with the style of the author of the
exam; Exam II = 25%; Exam III = 30%; and Exam IV = 30%.
There is NO extra credit work.
