  • BIOL 472: Molecular Evolution

    3.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    Molecular evolution encompasses two basic areas: 1 ) the study of the rates and patterns of change that occur in DNA and proteins over evolutionary time, and 2) the study of the evolutionary history of genes and organisms. In this course we will examine these two broad areas by focusing on gene structure and mutation, population genetics, change in nucleotide sequences, molecular systematics, and evolution by genome organization. Laboratory will reflect topics covered in lecture; students will become skilled in molecular methods, such as DNA sequencing, and various computational methods for analyzing molecular data (for example, PAUP, Maclade, etc.). Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 271.

  • BIOL 480: Topics in Biology

    2.00 - 4.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    An investigation of a specialized area of biology not normally covered in the biology curriculum. Topics will be selected by the biology faculty according to student interest. Students are encouraged to suggest topics for this course. May be repeated for credit if the topic is not repetitive. Lecture, or lecture and laboratory. Taught according to student demand and staff availability.

  • BIOL 485: Practicum in Biology Laboratory Instruction

    3.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    Supervised experience in organizing, preparing, and teaching biology laboratories. Students are assigned to a specific biology course and will assist the instructor in one laboratory section each week. Grade evaluation will be based on attendance, preparation, teaching ability and specific tasks assigned by the instructor, such as designing a demonstration or experiment to illustrate a biological principle. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: Students must be 3rd- or 4th-year biology or natural science majors and/or must obtain consent of the instructor.

  • BIOL 493/494: St.Mary's Project in Biology

    1.00 - 3.00 Credits
    St Mary's College of Maryland

    The project, which may take many forms, draws on and extends knowledge, skills of analysis, and creative achievement developed through previous academic work. In consultation with a faculty mentor, the student initiates the project, identifies an area to be explored, and proposes a method of inquiry appropriate to the topic. Although the project may be within this discipline, across disciplines, or in established cross-disciplinary studies programs, students will be responsible for proposing a project that can gain the approval and support of the biology program and faculty. The project should include a reflection on the body of literature, or the conceptual framework to which it is a contribution. It must be shared with the College community through posters, presentations, or other means. This course is repeatable for up to 8 semester-hours and fulfills four of the sixteen semester-hours of upper-division biology courses required to earn a degree in biology. Prerequisite: Approval of faculty mentor Majors, Minors, Other Programs of Study, Course Descriptions and department chair of the student's major(s). Consult faculty mentor for project guidelines.
