Description:

T. McCay, N. Pruitt Nearly every habitat on Earth, from thermal hot springs to the polar ice caps, is home to some form of life. Within those environments, organisms make their living in remarkable and varied ways. This course explores how organisms "work," with an emphasis on extraordinary feats of survival and navigation. The course content crosses many of the traditional hierarchical divisions in biology, integrating cellular biology, physiology, and ecology to come to a greater understanding of how organisms function within their environmental contexts. Course pedagogy includes some lecture, problem-based learning, and group problem solving. This course is an entry for students intending to major in the life sciences and is also for students in other majors with an interest in the life sciences.
