SP 229. Spanish
for Medical Personnel (2) No prior Spanish needed
Instruction and practice in Spanish phrases needed by
medical personnel, as well as basic Hispanic cultural background
important for health-care professionals. |
The 2000 Census
revealed that Alabama has experienced a 208%increase in the
Hispanic population. This population presents a growing
challenge to health care professionals to deliver culturally
and linguistically appropriate care to this ethnic group.
UWA students studying in a variety of health-related
programs such as nursing, athletic training, and other
pre-professional programs in allied health need a Spanish
course that offers phrases in Spanish related to medical
professionals’ daily activities; such a course would also
offer students basic insight into aspects of Hispanic
culture that impact medical care. While this kind of course
is already being offered in nursing schools across the
country, we believe that our students from our service area
especially can benefit from the course. |

Description
BY 101.
Introduction to
Biology I (4)
Introduction to living systems with an emphasis on biological
principles related to human biology. Includes an
introduction to cell biology, genetics, and ecology. Not
intended for majors in a scientific discipline. Three lecture
and two laboratory hours per week. |
A new two-course sequence, BY 101
and BY 102, will serve UWA students who are not science
majors. The first course in the sequence, BY 101, will
provide an introduction to living systems with particular
emphasis on the biology of the human species. |
Currently,
all students complete BY 101 as the first course in biology
in Area III of the basic curriculum. As revised, BY 101
will serve as an introductory course in biology for students
not majoring in a scientific discipline. Science majors
will not enroll in BY 101, but will instead take a more
rigorous introductory course, Principles of Biology (BY
104). The new course sequences will better serve both
science majors and students in other disciplines.
Students who complete BY 101 and
BY 102 and wish to change majors to a biological discipline
will be allowed to take General Botany and General Zoology. |

New Course |
Currently, students requiring
two courses in biology at UWA take BY 101 and then choose
from BY 112 (General Botany) or BY 122 (General Zoology).
This results in all three of these classes containing a
mixed population of majors and non-majors. |
A new course
will be created designed to function as the second of a two
course biology sequence for students not majoring in a
scientific discipline.

place in the living world. Includes an overview of ecological
and evolutionary principles. Not intended for students majoring
in a scientific discipline Three lecture and two laboratory
hours per week. Prerequisite: BY 101. |
A new two-course sequence, BY 101
and BY 102, will serve UWA students who are not science
majors. The second course in the sequence, BY 102, will
provide students with a survey of the biological world and a
perspective on man’s place in the natural world. |
Students in the Colleges of
Education and Liberal Arts currently complete BY 101 and
then choose from BY 112 (General Botany) or BY 122 (General
Zoology) to satisfy biology basic curriculum requirements in
Area III (Natural Sciences and Mathematics). The new course
sequence will allow them complete BY 101 and BY 102 to
complete this requirement. These courses will be designed
to provide non-majors with the biological background
necessary for their daily lives. Typically, majors in
scientific disciplines would complete Principles of Biology
(BY 104). However, students who complete the BY 101 and BY
102 sequence and wish to change majors to a biological
discipline will be allowed to enroll in General Botany or
General Zoology. |
None. The proposed changes can be
implemented with existing faculty. |
|
IV.
New Course |
Currently, BY 101 (General
Biology) is the introductory biology course for all
students, except for those students eligible to enroll in BY
103 (Honors Biology). |
BY 104 – Principles of Biology
(4)
The chemical aspects of living
systems; cellular structure, function and replication;
metabolism; and genetics. This course provides the preparation
needed for advanced study in biology. Designed for majors and
minors in biology and other scientific fields. Three hours of
lecture and a two hour laboratory per week. |
A new course in the Principles of
Biology will serve majors and minors in all scientific
disciplines. It will provide a strong background and will
prepare students for advanced study in the biological
sciences or other fields of science. |
The creation of a new introductory
biology course for majors and minors in scientific
disciplines and two courses designed for non-majors (BY 101
and BY 102) will allow the non-majors classes to be
structured in a way that greater benefits those students.
As a result, the Department of Biological and Environmental
Sciences will be able to more effectively prepare both
science majors/minors and non-majors alike. |
None. The proposed changes can be
implemented with existing faculty and facilities. |

Course Prerequisite
Change |
Prerequisite for BY 112 (General
Botany) is currently BY 101 (General Biology) |
Prerequisite for BY 112 (General Botany) will change to BY
103 (Honors Biology), BY 104
(Principles of Biology) OR BY 102. |
Principles of Biology (BY 104) or
Honors Biology (BY 103) will replace General Biology (BY
101) as the introductory biology class for majors or minors
in scientific fields at UWA. It will provide these students
with a more rigorous preparation for advanced classes. This
course is a more suitable prerequisite for students
enrolling in BY 112. Students who complete the two course
non-majors sequence will also be allowed to enroll in BY
112. |
Students in other disciplines who
take BY 101 as their introductory biology class will be
required to take an additional class (BY 102 or BY 104)
prior to taking upper level classes in biology. |
None |

VI.
Course Prerequisite
Change |
Prerequisite for BY 122 (General
Zoology) is currently BY 101 (General Biology) |
Prerequisite for BY 122 (General Zoology) will change to BY
103 (Honors Biology),
BY 104 (Principles of Biology), or BY 102. |
Principles of Biology (BY 104) or
Honors Biology (BY 103) will replace General Biology (BY
101) as the introductory biology class for majors or minors
in scientific disciplines at UWA. It will provide these
students with a more rigorous preparation for advanced
classes. This course is a more suitable prerequisite for BY
122. |
Students in other disciplines who
take BY 101 as their introductory biology class will be
required to take an Principles of Biology (BY 104) prior to
taking upper level classes in biology. However, students
completing the BY 101-BY 102 sequence will be allowed to
enroll in BY 122. |
None. |
|
VII.
Course Prerequisite
Change |
Prerequisite for BY 231 (Human
Anatomy and Physiology I) is currently BY 101 (General
Biology) |
Prerequisite for
BY 231 (Human Anatomy & Physiology I) will change to BY 103
(Honors Biology), BY 104 (Principles of Biology), or BY 102. |
Principles of Biology (BY 104)
will replace General Biology (BY 101) as the introductory
biology class for majors or minors in scientific disciplines
at UWA. It will provide biology students with a more
rigorous preparation for advanced classes. This course is a
more suitable prerequisite for BY 231. Students who
complete the two course sequence of BY 101 and BY 102 will
also be allowed to register in BY 231. |
Students in other disciplines who
take BY 101 as their introductory biology class will be
required to take an additional class (BY 104) prior to
taking upper level classes in biology. |

VIII.
Basic Curriculum
Requirement
Change |
Students in
the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics currently
complete BY 101 (General Biology) OR BY 103 (Honors Biology)
to satisfy the natural science requirement in Area III of
the basic curriculum. |
The natural
science requirement in Area III of the basic curriculum for
students in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics will
change to BY 101 OR BY 103 or BY 104.
Students majoring in this area should complete BY 104 as their
first biology for preparation for upper level courses in
biology. However, students who complete the Introduction to
Biology sequence (BY 101 and 102) or who transfer in with these
courses or their equivalents will be deemed to have satisfied
the basic curriculum requirements. |
The Department of Biological and
Environmental Sciences has created separate tracks for
majors/minors in the science fields and for nonmajors. The
major sequence requires BY 104 (Principles of Biology),
while the non-majors track includes a two sequence course,
Introductory Biology I (BY 101) and Introductory Biology II
(BY 102). |
Other colleges may wish to examine
their basic curriculum requirements in light of the proposed
change. |
