Description:

This introductory course is made up of a series of multi-week research modules taught in a studio format. Module subjects in this course will focus on organismal biology, form and function, biological diversity, evolution, and ecology. There will be two three-hour sessions per week during which talking about biology and doing biology are seamlessly integrated. The course is designed to encourage students to develop the values, habits, and practices of a scientist. Students will learn the scientific method and how it is employed including: how to make scientific observations and form hypotheses, how to plan and conduct experiments, and how to display and interpret data and communicate scientific results. The course is designed for both science majors and non-majors and can be used to partially fulfill the Natural Science Areas of Knowledge Requirement. A minimum grade of C- in both BIOL 121 and 122 is prerequisite to all biology courses numbered 200 and above; however the courses do not have to be taken in sequence. Four hours. Staff.
