1 THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES, ST. AUGUSTINE COURSE CODE: BIOL 2061 FACULTY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF LIFE SCIENCES COURSE DOCUMENTATION COURSE TITLE: Cell & Developmental Biology CREDITS: 3 LEVEL: II SEMESTER: I PRE-REQUISITE(S): BIOL1263 Living Organisms II or BIOL1261 Diversity of Organisms or (BIOL1065 Diversity of Plants and Animals and AGRI1012 Microbiology) and either BIOL1362 Biochemistry I and BIOL1364 Genetics I or BIOL1061 Cell Biology and Genetics COURSE DESCRIPTION The course begins with a review of the structure and function of cellular membranes and organelles and the role of the cytoskeleton in cell shape and motility. The fundamental processes operating during embryonic development and cellular differentiation of plants and animals will then be examined. The principles of development will be considered at the organismal, cellular and molecular levels for a complete understanding of developmental processes. Students will be introduced to important experiments that have led to an understanding of the basic principles of development. The application of stem cells in research and associated ethical considerations will form the basis of class discussions and debates. COURSE RATIONALE Cell and Developmental Biology is a core course for the Biology program in the Department of Life Sciences. It serves to build upon the student s basic knowledge of cell biology, and to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of developmental processes in several model organisms. Overall, this course is an essential component of the core biology degree as it examines the underling processes in a variety of model systems applicable to all major fields of biology.
2 INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Name of course coordinator: Office address and phone: address: Office hours: Preferred method of contact: Dr. Georgette Briggs Biochemistry Office, Floor 2, Old wing, Natural Sciences Building Fridays 1:00-2:00 pm Communication policy: Students should use their UWI account for communication and can expect a response within 48 hours. COURSE GOALS: On completion of this course, students should have: An understanding of the fundamental processes operating during key developmental processes An appreciation of the role of developmental processes in disease The ability to critically analyze scientific experiments and their findings Gained skills in presenting and defending a logical, scientifically supported argument. CONTENT Developmental biology overall, seeks to understand the complexity that underlies the different cell types and organs, the emergence of form and patterns, and the communication between cells to achieve these processes. Almost every disease is linked to a developmental failure. As such, a portion of this course focuses on models that examine the links between basic developmental errors and disease.

7 In-course test 1: 10 % In-course test 2: 10 % Written Paper: 10 % Ethics Debate (on-line) 10 % On-line Discussion Forums 10 % Final examination (2 hours) 50 % EVALUATION The elected Class Representative and/or Deputy will attend meetings with the course teacher(s) organized at every 4 th week, and present feedback from the students attending that course or stream. This feedback is normally provided both orally and in written form for transmission to the lecturer. Apart from that the representatives will be attending the Liaison Committee meeting, and give their feedbacks to the committee. Students may comment on any aspect of the course or facilities. Students will be encouraged to submit their feedback (oral/written) during tutorials directly to the course teacher and appropriate actions will be taken by the teacher then and there. Results of in-course tests, and feedback of online discussion forums will be presented to the class. This will help students to check their progress constantly and also helps the instructor to identify the weak areas and thereby could alert and advise students individually to alter their approach of study and completing the work. The final reflective feedback and comments about the entire course and teaching will be collected on the last day of the course. This will be saved for analysis and utilized as a base for improvement for the next offering in the following year. COURSE DELIVERY & TEACHING STRATEGIES The course will be delivered via 28 one-hour lectures and supplemented with 3 tutorial sessions In addition students will have the opportunity to gain skills in oral communication, argument formation and execution (debating) and collaborative group research and presentation. The course would be delivered via lectures and tutorials. Online forum discussions & debates, written reports, and virtual labs, would also be used to encourage student participation and collaborative learning. 7

Absence must be accompanied by a written excuse or medical submitted to the Main office, Life Sciences within 7 days of the missed session. Any student who was inexcusably absent or who does not write an in-course exam or a quiz will receive 0% for that exercise. How to study for this course Students are encouraged to work together in small cohesive groups as much as possible to go through the course content. As we go through the various topics, students should attempt to answer all the sample questions placed on myelearning and discuss the answers amongst themselves. All comments, questions and concerns provided on a particular topic will be addressed during the discussion segments of laboratories and during class time. To support the material presented in class, several texts have been recommended. These texts would also be supplemented by various scientific journal articles available to you via the myelearning platform. Use the responses and 10
11 comments for your quizzes and in-course examinations as a guide to answering the questions properly. There are several past paper questions in the library and students are encouraged to practice these questions. 11
