Course PoliciesIB 151 is a lab course that accompanies IB 150 “Organismal and Evolutionary Biology”.This course is designed for students in majors that require 1 semester or 1 year ofmajor’s level college biology with lab.Our goal this semester is to gain experience in doing hands-on science in the context oforganismal biology to understand how biologists can use manipulative experiments togain insights into the natural world.This lab course is meant to be an experience akin to an internship in a biologicalresearch lab that allows you to experience doing genuine scientific investigations.Through a sequence of five lab project and a semester-long independent researchproject you will be increasingly challenged to define your own research questions, andtake an active part in designing experiments in the context of physiological, genetic, andevolutionary research topics. In the process you will learn how professional biologistsset up their research questions, derive their hypotheses, design experiments, andrecord and analyze their results.IB 151 requires concurrent (or prior) enrollment in IB 150, and the lab projects generallyfollow the units of IB 150 closely: Unit 1 Ecology & Physiology; Unit 2 Genetics; Unit 3:Evolutionary Biology.Course ComponentsPre-labsAs of Week 5 (Project 3), each lab session associated with a project (other than the semesterproject) will have a pre-lab due that requires students to have read the associated backgroundsection in the lab manual, and have summarized the research question, hypotheses, and thesteps of the experimental design in their lab book notes. Detailed instructions and a rubric forthe pre-lab assignments are available in the appendix of the lab manual. Pre-labs are due andwill be checked by your TA at the beginning of your lab session in weeks where these are due,and are worth 2 points per lab.8

Lab reportsAs you conduct your experiment, you will be recording the data you collect, perform statisticalanalyses, and interpret your results in your lab book beneath your pre-lab assignments. You willturn in the complete set of pre-lab(s) and lab notes you took during your lab sessions associatedwith 5 projects at the end of the last lab session associated with a project. Lab projects rangefrom a single lab session to 3 lab sessions, and lab reports are only due once per project. Seethe course schedule for the due dates. Lab reports are worth 7 points each. A rubric for labreports is available in the appendix to the lab manualOutreach ProjectCommunicating scientific findings to the general public is becoming an ever-more pressing skill,as widespread misunderstanding and miscommunication of scientific findings, and a generalmistrust of the sciences is becoming more common. Your Project 1 will result in submission of apublic outreach project in the form of an infographic that communicates your findings to thegeneral public. The outreach project is worth 18 points, which encompass an initial and a finaldraft of your presentation.Semester ProjectThe semester project emphasizes hypothesis-based reasoning, and professional written andoral communication skills. As a professional in a science-related field (be it as a researchbiologist, a medical professional, work in biotech or other scientifically-influenced industries, oras a consultant in biologically-related fields concise, precise, and informative communication ofyour findings (both in written and oral formats) are two of the top skills that professionalschools and employers are looking for.The overall project is broken into smaller chunks, each worth 5 points that you are expected towork on both in class, as well as in your own time as a well-functioning research team. Duedates for each part are listed in the course schedule.This project results in submission of a white paper to an appropriate government agency and atalk at the IB151 Conference that represents the “final exam” of the course and is worth 20points. At this conference your team will summarize the state of the art of our understandingon the topic, and road blocks that currently hinder solutions to the problem, and avenues(proposal of directions) of research that could lead to a solution in the future.9

Late Assignments, Missed Attendance, Section ChangeLate Submissions of AssignmentsPre-lab assignments are typically due at the beginning of your lab session, unless otherwisenoted. Lab reports will always be due at the end of the last lab session of each of the fiveprojects. Semester Project components are typically due end of day Friday and are submittedonline. All assignments must be completed on time. Late submissions will NOT be graded,unless incurred due to extenuating circumstances. Proper documentation for illness, familyemergency, athletic event or other legitimate reason is required in order to receive anextension for submitting pre-lectures, and online homework assignments.Please consult the Student Code Article 1, Part 5 to check whether a particular reason for absence is eligible forlate submission of work: http://studentcode.illinois.edu/article1 part5 1-501.html.Missed Lab AttendanceYou must attend your lab to earn the points associated with each lab’s assignments. If you needto miss lab due to a legitimate, University-sanctioned emergency (see above), we stronglyencourage you to e-mail ib151-course@illinois.edu at least 3 days in advance to schedule analternate lab time for the affected week. If that is impossible, your lab score will be excused asappropriate.Section Changes, Add and Drop InformationUse the UI Enterprise System. Instructors or TAs cannot perform any registration functions foryou. Students must attend the lab sections in which they are enrolled unless they have receivedauthorization from their TA to attend a make-up section. Make-up requests may be denied if asection is full. Apply at your College Office before the deadline if you wish to elect theCredit/No Credit option. To drop the course after the drop deadline, students must petition aDean in their College Office.Late RegistrationIf you add the course late, you need to contact ib151-course@illinois.edu within 24 hours ofadding the course to have due dates extended one week following your add date to allow theopportunity to complete any missed assignments. Missed discussion periods due to a late adddo not count toward the dropped participation score but will be prorated if brought to ourattention.10

Academic IntegrityAll students are responsible for reading the University of Illinois Student Code. Pay particularattention to http://admin.illinois.edu/policy/code/article1 part4 1-402.html concerningplagiarism and cheating. Penalties for plagiarism on course assignments result in a reduced grade for theassignment and a note in your student file. Plagiarism is the copying or leaning onsources without properly citing your source. To avoid a charge of plagiarism, allsubmissions need to be your own synthesis of information, demonstrating your ownunderstanding, and any sources you used to obtain information must be properlyattributed at the end of your submissions. Copying or leaning on unauthorized student files or keys obtained from other students(downloaded from the web or sharing of physical copies) will be charged as cheatingand the use of unauthorized materials rather than a charge of plagiarism, and results ina score of zero on the assignment, and will receive a note of this academic violation inyour student record.Additional penalties may be imposed by the university, including dismissal from the university,depending on the presence of aggravating factors or if this was not your first infraction.Getting Help Only contact your instructor directly if you have a personal question. For all other questions about course content, activities, deadlines, technical problems,etc., please check the General Q & A forum at the top of the Moodle Course Webpageto see if someone else has already asked your same question and received a response. If your question isn't there yet, post your question to the General Q & A forum. Feel free to answer peers in the General Q&A Forum if you know the answer! If you still have a question, email ib151@life.illinois.edu.Disability AccommodationsTo obtain disability-related academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids, students withdisabilities must contact the course instructor and the Disability Resources and EducationalServices (DRES) as soon as possible. To contact DRES you may visit 1207 S. Oak St., Champaign,call 333-4603 (V/TTY), or e-mail a message to disability@illinois.edu11

evolutionary biology. From this point of view, some authors have tried to extend the Darwinian theory universally beyond the domain of evolutionary biology (Cf. Dawkins, 1983), using the three principles of evolutionary theory (inheritance or retention, variation, and adaptation) as a heuristic for evolutionary economic theorizing (Campbell, 1965).
