for
increasing
number of
BIOL210A
and 210B
offered
sections.
Explain how the
Action will support
your Program Goals
and your Program/
Course Learning
Increase the course offerings
of both BIOL 210A and 210B
with adequate sequencing to
increase the number of
conferred Biology Studies
awards and the upcoming
Biology-ADT awards, to meet
our current and future
student needs and the
institutional benchmark for
conferred awards. This will
require an increase in supply
budget to match the increase
in sections. (see Goal 2

Provide
laboratory adequate
instruction budget for
instruction
al
supplies
In Spring 2016, we have
increased our BIOL 210A
and 210B offerings despite
the decrease of our
laboratory supplies budgets
and without any additional
increases for the new offered
sections. We need adequate
supplies budget per section
to maintain and improve
laboratory instruction.
- Increase supplies budget to
match the current increase in
course offerings for the Fall,
Spring and Summer –
Spring 2016 : 10 BIOL 210A
and 6 210B offered sections
Summer 2016: 4 BIOL 210A
and 2 210B offered sections
- Laboratory supplies
budget for 2016/2017
BIOL 210A and 210B
course offerings for
the Fall, Spring and
Summer –
approximately 40
total sections at
$500/per section
- BIOL210A lab
instruction needs:
Mitosis slides (Onion
Root Tip) (24) and
(Blastula) (24). Fresh
pre-stained slides
Mitosis slides to
replace old washed
out ones are needed.
- Maintenance:
- Increase supplies budget to Vernier O2 probes
match any future projected
recalibration $300
