Department: Science Discipline: Biology & Environmental Sciences Subject Code: BIOL Course #: 115 Course Title: Introduction to Cells and Molecules HARRISBURG AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FORM 335 Course Form 335 must be updated at least every five years per AP 765 to include, at a minimum, the following elements. [§335.2] 1. Digital Description [§335.2] (Insert the new/revised digital description below): Credit hours: Lecture hours: Lab hours: 3.0 3.0 1.0 Approved Online/Blended Face-to-Face Instruction Ratios: [__] 25/75% [__] 33/67% [__] 50/50% [__] 67/33% [__] 75/25% (Note: The first number indicates the percentage of online instruction. The second number indicates the percentage of in-class instruction.) 2. Maximum Enrollment (Insert new/revised maximum enrollments below): In-Class Instruction: 36 Lab Instruction: 24 (Note: It is assumed that maximum enrollments for blended courses are the same as those identified for in-class instruction. Maximum enrollments for Virtual Learning courses are to be 75% of in-class instruction, as per the SGP on Maximum Class Size): 3. Catalog Description [§335.2] (Insert the description in space below): Introduces students to the molecular structure and function of the cell. This course specifically addresses the basis of scientific investigation, the chemistry of cells, the cell membrane structure and function, cellular organelles, cell metabolism, cell division, and the basic principles of genetics (both classical and molecular). This course is an introductory biology course for science majors and pre-allied health students and is recommended to be entered prior to completing BIOL 101, 121, or 221. Minimum Grade Required 4. Prerequisites [§335.2]: None Co-requisites: None Other: 5.
