2 Major Course Segment _ (SEE ATTACHED SHEETS) Course Outcomes: Hours Learning Outcome 1. Students will learn fundamental principles of genetics including meiosis and working genetics problems of various types. 2. Students will be able to recognize real-world examples of genetics topics and demonstrate the interaction of genetics in society. 3. Students will learn about population genetics and the complexity of human heredity vs. Mendelian genetics. 4. Students will become acquainted with the technologies that involve DNA and the applications that arise from the use of the technology. The following LLC General Education goals are met in BIO 160: Goal 1 Communication: Students will communicate professionally and effectively. In numerous class discussions regarding current events in genetics, students will be expected to professionally and effectively express their views and questions when called upon in class or when addressing the professor with questions in class or via . Goal 2 Critical Thinking: Students will apply critical thinking skills in various ways. Students will apply critical thinking to solve genetic problems. Critical thinking skills are also involved in analyzing case studies in genetics. In a case study, students must do the following: locate information, evaluate sources, analyze data and arguments, interpret results, and transfer insights to new contexts. Goal 3 Problem Solving: Students will demonstrate scientific and quantitative problemsolving skills. This goal is met through solving various genetics problems throughout the semester. Also, determining modes of inheritance requires problem solving and critical thinking skills. Goal 4 Diversity: Students will recognize the unique characteristics of others. Through the application of current events and the discussion of bioethical issues, students will realize the diversity of thoughts and cultures, along with economic, geographical, and historical perspectives regarding various issues. Goal 5 Citizenship: Students will demonstrate civic responsibility. Many of the problems in society today can be solved using biological technology. Examples of current techniques and technology used in various industries will be used to demonstrate the impact human actions have on society and the student s role in a global society. Students will look into the controversy of new techniques used in biology and discuss the ethical problems
3 which arose with the development of such techniques. Goal 6 Foundational Knowledge: Students will demonstrate knowledge of general education course content. Students will have a working knowledge of key components learned from a wide variety of general education courses taken. In the biological sciences, this may include a basic knowledge of: cells, DNA, energy systems, genetics and cancer.

19 Genetics Update Article Reviews- 1 per unit Find a relatively recent article (less than 1 year old) in the news that discusses some topic/ concept discussed in unit 1. The news article can be cited from any type of media. The article must be cited in such a way that the professor can easily access the article for further review. After reading the article, write a summary paragraph that discussing the concept and how it ties in with concepts learned in the unit at hand. Don't forget to correctly cite the article. Many correct methods of citation will be accepted. Last of all, after summarizing the article, students must add a "discussion question" regarding their article. In other words, pose a question that could stimulate some discussion or even debate. Article reviews without a discussion question listed at the end will be deducted 3 points. All submissions are graded the day after the submission deadline.
