Description:

In place of traditional laboratory work, this course offers a new and innovative program of interactive computer-generated labs. The virtual laboratory will enable the student to study the principles of biology and work according to the scientific process while performing lab exercises through the use of computer simulations. This course will focus on a variety of biological topics as well as their interdisciplinary applications. Among the areas to be explored are genetics (classical to modern genetic engineering), biotechnology, evolution, bioethics, scientific problem-solving, immunology and contemporary problems with disease, diversity and organization of living organisms and their populations, comparative study of a body system, and animal behavior. (Students are to register for the lecture section and one computer laboratory section.) There is no prerequisite. This course can be used as a science or liberal arts elective or as an all-college elective.
