Course Description:
Biology is defined as ‘the
study of life’; therefore, this class will cover the fundamental concepts
relating to life. Some of the major
areas that will be covered include:
Scientific Processes; Cell Parts and Processes; Levels of Organization;
Photosynthesis; Respiration; Bacteria/Viruses; Distinguishing Plants, Animals,
and Fungus; Human Systems; DNA/RNA; Protein Synthesis; Genetics;
Classification; and Ecology.
Absences, Tardiness, and
Make-Up Work
Absences: Students are
expected to be in class. If a student
misses a class, it is their responsibility to take care of the following:
·
Present an admit slip upon return.
If you have to retrieve one from the office, then it will result in an unexcused
tardy.
·
Work that was due the day of absence, is due the day of return
·
If a student will miss a scheduled quiz or test due to an
extracurricular activity, they must take it PRIOR to leaving for the event (per
Mr. Watkins). These events are
privileges and come secondary to school.
Tardiness: Students are
expected to be on time. In order to be
successful, students should be in their seats with all materials that will be
needed for the day.
·
If a student is late due to another class, they must bring a note
signed by the teacher upon arriving.
They will not be allowed to go back and get one.
Make-Up Work: If a student is
absent, it is their responsibility to take care of the following:
·
Check the absence folders for work that was missed. DO NOT inquire about what was missed while
class is taking place.
·
You have one day to complete make-up work upon your return to
class
·
You must schedule make-up quizzes and tests during tutorials. Make-Ups will be different from the ones
taken on the scheduled day. Again, you
have one day upon your return to schedule a make-up
·
Special Circumstances can be discussed with the teacher during
tutorials or after class
·
NO late work will be accepted
Classroom Rules
1.
Give your best effort the entire class period, no matter what the
assignment may be.
2.
Conduct yourself in a manner so that everyone else is able to
abide by Rule #1.
3.
Keep feet off of seats
4.
NO food or drinks allowed
5.
Remain in your seat until you are dismissed. The bell is not the signal for you to get up
and leave.
6.
Bring your materials to class everyday and be prepared to use
them. Retrieving them after the bell
will result in an unexcused tardy.
I look forward to a wonderful year and I am
confident that your student will learn something throughout the tenure of this
course. If you have any questions,
