CHECK this site often, as I will try to upload a PDF file of my PowerPoint slides
before each class.
Timeliness: On exams dates do NOT arrive late!! You will not be allowed to
take the exam if you arrive after the first student has finished the exam and left
the room (and some students finish in less than 15 min). Assuming you sit for
the exam, no additional time will be provided.
If the University is officially closed on an exam day, the exam will be held on the
next regularly scheduled class day.
Any specific issue not covered by this syllabus will be resolved using University
policies.
Disputes that cannot be resolved following the guidelines present in this syllabus will
be resolved by following the guidelines of the University “Student Due Process”.

Old exams on Blackboard, NOT section 3
Final: FRIDAY Dec.
The FINAL Exam is CUMULATIVE, worth 200 points
17, 2010 AT 1:20 pm
scheduled FRIDAY Dec. 17 starting at 1:20 am (NOTE TIME AND DAY).
DO NOT be late, as no extra time is provided.
Make-up exam: REQUIRE documented reason (e.g. illness, or family emergency)
signed by a non-family professional person (e.g. doctor, police officer, funeral director
etc.):
travel plans will NOT be used as a reason to take a make up.
Without a note you do NOT write a make up AND you get a zero
a make-up exam may not occur until January.
Grade Calculation:
93-100% A
A letter grade is calculated after total score normalized
(averaged) to the score of the second highest
90-92 A-
student. 86-89 B+
82-85 B
This number converted to percentage and assigned a
letter grade according to the table at right.
80-81 B-
76-79 C+
72-75 C
Exam I 100 points top 3 scores
Exam II 100 points = 300 points
70-71 C-
Exam III 100 points 67-69 D+
Exam IV 100 points 63-66 D
Final Ex = 200 points
TOTAL = 500 points
60-62 D-
+ clicker bonus points 25 59 or less F
Clicker Bonus Points:
starts for points AFTER Exam 1 (although Qs will be
used sooner)

Read & understand the section on graphs and how to “read” them (i.e. convert
them into a sentence describing the relationship between dependent and
independent variables -- the text is full of them!

Cell Communication: Recap from 2600
Signal Transduction - conversion of one type of signal to another
ions
2600:
In Bio2600: we used
concept of
hydrophilic
(= lipophobic)
vs
hydrophobic
(= lipophilic)

Ligand-Receptor interaction: key communication step
KINETICS:
degrees of specificity
saturation
maximum conductance rate
regulated (gated)
inhibitable (biologically &/or
pharmacologically)

Homeostasis: maintain a relatively stable environment
Canon’s Postulates:
1. nervous system plays role in
organism fitness
2. tonic control is often used
- set at a mid-point so can go UP & DOWN
and integration
