Points for Participation will be earned through participating on at least 3 out of 4 Opportunities for Points for
Participation. These are NOT extra credit points. Not participating will earn you 0 points which will reduce your
% points at the end of the quarter. Details will be posted on Canvas.
3 BONUS POINT OPPORTUNITIES! J Up to 20 Bonus Points can be earned:
• If you submit Part 1 & Part 2 by the deadlines you will earn 10 Bonus Points. Submissions must be complete.
• There will be a brief task to complete in the last week of the quarter that will earn 5 bonus points
• If you’ve participate on Opportunity #1, 2 & 3 for Points for Participation and earn 15/15 points from those,
if you also participate on Opportunity #4, 5 additional points will be added, giving you 20/15 Points for
Participation. Thus, you will have 5 more Bonus Points!THE DIET ASSIGNMENT
§ This assignment is divided into 3 parts: Keeping a Food Record for 3 days and collecting labels/nutrition
information about foods eaten out (Part 1), analyzing the foods on a nutrient analysis program and getting
reports with data about your food intake (Part 2), and evaluating and assessing your diet (Part 3).
§ Students repeating Bio 45 must keep a current Food Record--they may not use a Food Record from before.
§ The assignement—all 3 parts--is graded once towards the end of the quarter. All 3 parts must be submitted
to receive a Diet Assignment score.
§ You are strongly encouraged to complete Parts 1 and 2 of the Diet Assignment earlier in the quarter and not
try to do all 3 parts right before it is due. Leaving it to late in the quarter is a recipe for receiving a low score.
§ If you DO submit Part 1 and Part 2 by the deadlines (listed on the last page of the syllabus), and your
submissions are complete (ie nothing is missing, each component of Parts 1 & 2 is complete), each
submission will earn 5 Bonus Points. J (Thus, it’s possible to earn more than 100 points on this assignment!)
§ The assignment will be accepted late, up to 4 days past the due date (Wed March 16th at 11:59 pm). No
assignments will be accepted after that date. Assignments submitted late will have 10 points deducted
from the score. This drops your grade 1 full grade. ADVICE: If getting an A is your goal plan to finish the Diet
Assignment by the due date.
NOTE: The point deduction is the same regardless of when it is submitted during that week post due date.
This assignment is a big part of your grade and requires significant effort and time in order to do well on it.
PKnow This!
Student Success in this class requires TIME
• Sometimes the process of learning is frustrating and difficult. Oftentimes it is satisfying. Learning
requires considerable effort and patience. With appropriate strategies, that effort brings you results:
mastering the material.
• If you need to receive an “A” or a “B” in this class read the the Strategies for Doing Well in Biology 45,
on Canvas. (You’ll see it when you go through the Orientation Module). Plan to put the time and effort
into the class to help you to be successful. Do not wait until the end of the quarter to act if it becomes
evident that you are not earning the grade that you need or want.
• Student Success in this class requires TIME. Be prepared to spend at least 15 hours a week using and
studying the course materials. Remember, you are not sitting in class for nearly 4 hours a week, which
the students in the face-to-face class format are, in addition to out-of-class time studying.
• BE SURE you check out the DeAnza Online Education Website: https://www.deanza.edu/online-
ed/index.html. Bookmark the Student Resource Hub: https://www.deanza.edu/online-
ed/students/remotelearning.html If you have questions or run into problems, start here for finding
answers.
• Time Management skills are essential for staying on top of the material in this course. Evaluate your
priorities. Do not attempt to take this class this quarter if you are stretched too thin. Be realistic as to
what you can accomplish with what time and energy you have to devote to this class. Countless
students have reported to me – at the end of the quarter – “I didn’t believe what you said at the
beginning of the quarter, but…you were right!”
• Read the Biology/Chemistry Review on Canvas (You’ll see it when you go through the Orientation
Module). You should be comfortable with this material. If not, update your knowledge in those areas at
the beginning of the quarter.
Learning takes TIME. There are no shortcuts to learning and mastering skills.OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
§ Tom Nguyen is the Biology Division counselor. He is a great resource available to you. He can be
reached through e-mail: nguyentom@fhda.edu
§ Check out the Student Success Center on campus: https://www.deanza.edu/studentsuccess/ It offers
many resources to help students succeed in their academic pursuits.
§ If you are or have ever battled an eating disorder and this course/the diet assignment has the potential
of setting you back in your recovery process, please feel free to discuss your situation with me. Some
accommodations are possible.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Any student found taking part in any form of academic dishonesty will receive no points or grade for what
they cheated on. Some examples of academic dishonesty are:
Having someone other than yourself take an exam or quiz ¨ Any form of plagiarism ¨ Giving your academic
work to another student to plagiarize ¨ Communicating with anyone other than your instructor during an
exam: Talking, text message, e-mail, etc. ¨ Looking at material (books, papers, websites) other than what is
permitted during an exam ¨ Turning in another person's Diet Assignment (or any part of it), representing it as
your own ¨ Copying parts of the Diet Assignment from another person’s work ¨ For students who are
repeating Bio 45: Turning in your Diet Assignment from a previous quarter ¨ Lying to an instructor or college
official to improve your grade¨ NOTE: The Office of the Dean of Student Affairs & Activities maintains a record
of students who have engaged in academic dishonesty.
SYLLABUS CHANGE POLICY
Information contained in this course syllabus may be subject to change with reasonable advance notice, as
deemed appropriate by the instructor. Updates to the syllabus will be posted on Canvas.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. How do I contact my instructor?
A. The fastest way is to e-mail me: Milleranna@fhda.edu. Write “Bio 45” in the subject of your email.
Q. What happens if I miss an exam?
A. One midterm exam score is dropped (the lowest of the 3) so that will be the one that is dropped. If
something unavoidable prevents you from taking a second exam, contact your instructor before the
exam, or in the case of an emergency, as soon as possible after the exam.
Q. Do I have to eat a healthy diet to do well in this class?
A. No! Your grade in this class is not at all based on how well you eat. You don’t need to change your diet
while taking this course. (But many students do, as a result of things they learn J )
Q. Can I use an earlier edition of the textbook?
A. It is ideal to use the current edition. You will be at a disadvantage if you use an older edition. It’s possible
to use an edition one earlier, but be aware that there are changes from edition to edition. I’m sorry the
textbook is very expensive. The textbook is available for rent, and can be found in an e-format, too.
Q. Are there ways I can boost my points in this class?
A. Yes! You can earn up to 20 Bonus Points. Read about this on Page 3 of this syllabus. FYI: There are other
ways your instructor helps you out:
• It’s easy to get 100% on the Orientation Quiz and the Points for Participation. Those are 30 points
total. Getting 30/30 points for those helps your % standing in the class at the end of the quarter.
• The lowest midterm exam and quiz scores get dropped JTextbook Reading Assignments from the 15th Edition of the textbook
