: : : : :

Biology 22 General Zoology 5 units (3 hours lecture lecture and 6 hours laboratory laboratory per week) Chem. 14 & 14.1 An introduction to the fundamental concepts of animal biology at the cellular and organismic levels of organization. Included are treatments on cellular , tissues, and organ structure and function, organism diversity, interaction among animals, animal development, heredity, and basic concepts of evolution.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

: At the end of the course, the students should be able to: 1. Explain the fundamental principles in the study of animal life. 2. Use the scientific approach in understanding the various aspects of animal life; and 3. Demonstrate awareness of the unity that ties all life and appreciate the diversity of all life forms.

The class standing at the end of the semester (Pre-final grade) is computed by adding 60% of the lecture grade and 40% of the laboratory grade. This becomes the Final Grade if the student is exempted from the Final Exam. If the student takes the Final Exam his Final Grade is computed by adding 20% of his rating in the Final Exam and 80% of his Pre-Final Grade. The Final Exam consists of questions from both the lecture and laboratory. It is given to the student who meets any of the following conditions: a. missed any examination due to a valid reason as certified by a physician; if more than two exams are missed, the scores in the other exams will be zero.  b. has a Pre-Final grade below 70.0% (or 2.50) c. has a grade of below 60.0 (3.0) in either lecture or laboratory For a student who takes the finals: a. If his/her combined prefinal (80%) and final exam score (20%) is above 60, then he/she passes the course.  b. If his/her combined prefinal (80%) and final exam score (20%) is 54 or below, he/she fails the course c. If his/her combined prefinal (80%) and final exam score (20%) falls between 55-59: he/she gets a 4.0 and  be allowed to take removal exams only if: i. he/she has a passing mark in both lecture and laboratory (computed even before taking the final exam) ii. no excessive absences in both lecture and laboratory Alternatively, a student with 55-59 combined prefinal and final exam grade and has a failing mark (
