3.00 Credits
This course examines biological principles as they apply to the human biology and to the role of humans in nature. A study of different levels of organization leads to analysis of the structure and function of the major systems of the human body. Topics will include human heredity, evolution and ecology. Spring semester. (CNSN)
-
3.00 Credits
The principles of genetics, which are important to an understanding of the hereditary mechanism in humans are covered. Individual differences in relation to gene-environment interaction and the role of heredity in society, behavior, health and disease are discussed. This course is primarily an elective for non-science majors.
-
3.00 Credits
The development of the fetal brain, its cellular structures and organization and the functions associated with various brain regions will be discussed. Major emphasis will be devoted to neuronal cell conduction and transmission and the cellular basis for movement, sensory activity, emotions, memory and language production. In addition, students will explore a variety of brain and neurological disorders. Three hours of lecture weekly. (CNSN)
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers microorganisms (bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, and viruses) and their interactions with humans. The principles and applications of environmental, industrial and medical microbiology are discussed. Either semester. (CNSN)
-
4.00 Credits
Ecological relationships and current environmental issues are explored in class with a focus on how biological systems function and what impacts humans have had on global biodiversity. Class discussions and short video clips from Nature, CNN and CBC news explore the human impact on harvesting renewable and nonrenewable resources, biogeochemical cycles, human population growth, threats to endangered species, global climate change, sustainable use of renewable resources and local impacts on global biodiversity. Class discussions, laboratory exercises and team projects highlight examples taken from outside the United States and particularly case studies drawn from Canada and regions of Southeast Asia. Laboratory exercises emphasize making observations and using quantitative reasoning to study effects of environmental factors on organisms; using computer models to study harvest impacts on world fisheries; and case studies to examine water use and world health issues. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory weekly. (CNSL)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the biology of plants, exploring their diversity, peculiar adaptations, associations with animals, practical uses and the profound effect they have had on modern civilization. (CNSN)
-
