Description:
BIOL 112, Principles of Biology II, is the second half of a year-long survey course in introductory biology. In this course, we will examine the systematics and taxonomy of animals, anatomy and physiology of eukaryotic organisms, and embryology. The course includes three lectures and one discussion section each week.
Grading:
Grading for this course will be based on the following:
Grading scale
Grading for all quizzes, reports, and exams will be based on a 4.0 grading scale, in which:
3.5 to 4.0 = A
2.75 to 3.49 = B
2.00 to 2.74 = C
1.00 to 1.99 = D
< 1.00 = F
