Sommers Smith The anatomy and physiology of human tissues, organs, and organ systems will be the focus of this course, intended for non-majors or those students seeking to fulfill natural/physical science requirements. The course will be structured around four week-long units. Each unit will consist of four lecture/discussions and one computer laboratory module (Weblab). Weblabs will consist of medical case studies fo-cused on the lecture and discussion material for that week. Prerequisite: None. Not open to students who have taken BISC 109. Distribution: Natural and Physical Sciences Semester: Summer Unit: 1.0

K niger This course will examine the scientific facts behind phenomena portrayed in a variety of Hollywood and foreign movies. We will cover top-ics ranging from the definition and recreation of life, genetics, behavior to evolution and environmental issues. The course will include weekly screenings of movies outside of class time as well as lectures, assigned readings and discussions. While obtaining an introduction to key concepts in biology, students will also explore misconceptions about science and scientists that are perpetuated by these movies. Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

O'Donnell The exciting area of stem cell research has led to many recent discoveries. As researchers have learned more about the properties of these amazing cells, many potential biomedical applications have been envisioned. In this course, we will focus on understanding the unique biological properties of stem cells, and how these cells might lead to novel patient therapies. Questions to be addressed include: How were stem cells discovered Where do stem cells come from, and what are stem cell lines What are the similarities and differences between embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, and recently discovered ?induced pluripotent stem cells? We will also discuss the bioethi-cal issues and scientific controversies associated with recent stem cell discoveries. Promising areas of current research will be described . Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0

3.00 Credits
K niger This course focuses on applications of recently developed biological techniques, including recombinant DNA, antibody techniques and reproductive technology. The social and ethical issues surrounding these techniques are also discussed. No prior knowledge of biology is expected, as all necessary background information will be discussed. Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0

Griffith, McDonough, Thomas This course will examine how plants function, both as individual organisms and as critical members of ecological communities, with special emphasis on human uses of plants. Topics will include plant adaptations, reproduction, environmentally sound landscape practices, urban horticulture, and the use of medicinal plants. The laboratory involves extensive use of the greenhouses, experimental design, data collec-tion and analysis, and field trips. Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Spring Unit: 1.25

Ellerby, McDonough, Skow In this class, we will explore human biology through case studies, lectures, and laboratories. Lecture topics will include: the structure and function of the major physiological systems; recent developments in health care; human genetics; and the impacts of human activity on the environment. Laboratories involve data collection using computers, physiological test equipment, limited animal dissection, a personal nutrition study and field trips. Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores. Not open to students who have taken BISC 103 in Summer School. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science. Fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning overlay course requirement. Semester: Fall Unit: 1.25

3.00 Credits
Staff Introduction to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell structure, chemistry, and function. Topics include: cell metabolism, molecular genetics, cellu-lar interactions and mechanisms of growth and differentiation. Laboratories focus on experimental approaches to these topics. Either 110 or 111 may be taken first. Prerequisite: Fulfillment of the basic skills component of the Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Distribution: Natural and Physical Science Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.25
