9). Demonstrate proficiency in microscope work
10). Demonstrate the ability to do independent laboratory work
11). Select and use appropriate tools and technology (such as computer-linked probes, spreadsheets, and graphing calculators) to
perform tests, collect data, analyze relationships, and display data
12). Identify and communicate sources of unavoidable experimental error
13). Identify possible reasons for inconsistent results, such as sources of error or uncontrolled conditions

3). Write essays related to the course content and documentation of lab procedures and observations
4). Maintain an organized notebook including all labs, lecture notes, homework, and vocabulary lists.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcome
Mode of Assessment
1. The human body consists of eleven organ systems. Students
will be able to describe how several of these organ systems
work cooperatively to meet the bodies’ need for energy
(cellular respiration).
1. Exam multiple choice, true and false, completion, short
answer, and essay questions.
2. Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain stable
internal conditions in spite of changes in external conditions.
Students will be able to describe how the body is able to
maintain this internal balance.
2. Exam multiple choice, true and false, completion, short
answer, and essay questions.

information provided in the table, graph, and/ or chart.
3. Examination short answer questions based upon a chart,
graph, or chart related to course subject matter.

course-related data
5). Participation in class discussions related to the course material and lecture topics.
REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS
Examples of typical textbooks for this course include the following:
