3.00 Credits
This is a continuation of Cellular and Molecular Biology I that will extend and broaden the students' breadth of knowledge in Cellular and Molecular biology. This course provides a detailed understanding of the structure and function of DNA, RNA, proteins, molecular signaling, and techniques used to study molecular biology.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will reinforce principles introduced in lecture that can be utilized for a multi-dimensional approach to investigate cellular and molecular biological processes by specifically providing students with an opportunity to learn practical technical skills used to study molecular biology (PCR, western blotting, gel electrophoresis).
-
3.00 Credits
Provides capstone experience for biology majors. The primary focus is the synthesis, integration, and application of contents of key core curriculum courses including developmental biology, genetics, cellular and molecular biology, microbiology and environmental biology. Students will demonstrate cumulative abilities in these areas through examinations, research papers and presentations. Prerequisites: Senior classification, consent of Department Head or course coordinator.
-
4.00 Credits
Lectures, conferences, demostrations, and laboratory work considering man's health and physical needs in relation to his past, current, and future environmental situation. Special emphasis on the biological nature of man, healthful living, occupational and recreational conditions, environ- mental pollution, and public health organizations and functions. Prerequisite: Completion of lower division natural science requirement.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to strengthen the background of students planning careers in health related fields or graduate programs in microbiology. The course covers pathogenic microbiology, diagnostic microbiology, immunology and applied microbiology. Emphasis is on identification of unknown bacteria and students write research papers on selected topics.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a graduate level survey course that is highly interdisciplinary, integrating natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities in a broad, holistic study of the world around us. The course examines the interaction of system dynamics with local, regional, national, and global ecosystems. Emphasis is placed on the biogeochemical cycles the earth as a living organism, the atmosphere, water systens and the biosphere as students develop a general foudation. Nature reserves, national parks, and the wilderness examined as regional environmental systems that provideprotection for a particular species and/or habitat. The use of critical-thinking and problem-solving skills on environmental issues will be a focus as students become environmentally literate.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the vast array of wetland ecosystems. This course will emphasize the influence that biological, chemical and physical wetland processes have on water quality. Inland and coastal wetlands are examined, specifically addressing their geographical and hydrologic conditions. The student will acquire extensive knowledge of diverse wildlife habitants and populations in wetlands. Wetland ecosystem management practices as mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency are also covered. The course will specifically: 1) review the structure and function of the various types of wetlands; 2) discuss the biolgeochemistry of wetlands; 3) discuss the various ecological charactertistics of each wetland type; and 4) discuss how constructed wetlands/manmade wetlands can serve as water quality enhancers.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies the interpersonal relationships between a couple and among family members. Discussion will focus on development of interpersonal commitment, mate selection, types of families (singleparent, dual-career, nuclear), family crises, childrearing patterns, parents' contribution to child development, family finance, and other related topics. Emphasis will be on physical, cognitive personality, and social development of the child relationship to the family.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies the child's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development from conception through adolescence. Students study biological and environmental foundations and influences including cross-cultural issues. Emphasis is placed on research and theory in child development.
-
3.00 Credits
Includes the acquisition and application of basic observation skills regarding children's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. This course includes discussion and laboratory work. Scheduled observation in the Child Development Center is met through concurrent enrollment in CDFR 102.
