Fall Semester Examines the impact of humans on the environment and the impact of our currently industrialized technological environment on humans and other living things. It will integrate a socio-political perspective with technical issues to gain understanding about their complex interconnected nature. This will advance us in our work toward achieving a more habitable global environment. Some of the specific topics to be discussed include population growth and species extinction, energy resources, land use, and various types of pollution. Lecture and Laboratory. Prerequisite: SCI 1010, 1020, BIOL 1055, or permission of instructor. Fee.

4.00 Credits
Offered Periodically Involves the study of plant evolution and the study and identification of different plant families. The study of plant physiology as it relates to these different plant families, and the study of the habitats in which different plants are likely to occur, also form a basis for this course. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: SCI 1010, 1020, BIOL 1065 or permission of instructor. Fee.

4.00 Credits
Alternate Fall Semesters Fall 2007 The course will consider the interrelationships of living things and their environment. Special attention will be given to the experimental demonstration of these interrelationships in various types of habitats. Specific topics to be covered will include old field succession, lake succession, species diversity, primary productivity, and tide pool ecology. Prerequisite: Any college science course, or permission of instructor. Fee.
-
4.00 Credits
Offered Periodically Marine Ecology explores the many and diverse interrelationships which exist among marine organisms and their environments. These interrelationships will be explored through classroom lectures, laboratory experiments and field trips to a variety of marine habitats. These trips may include the rocky intertidal zone at Gloucester Harbor, the salt marshes along the Neponset estuary, and mudflats and sand beaches of Cape Cod. Prerequisites: BIOL 1055-1065 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Alternate Fall Semesters Fall 2008 Covers the biology, ecology, chemistry, and physics of water. Much of the instruction in the course will be done at nearby ocean, lakes, and streams and will involve experiments such as the determination of thermal stratification and the estimation of photosynthetic rates. Prerequisite: Any college science course, or permission of the instructor. Fee. Catalog 2007-08 35
-
3.00 Credits
Alternate Fall Semesters Fall 2007 Discusses human sexuality in an integrated way, exploring biological, psychological, social, and political aspects. (Same course as PSY 2450, WS 2450). Prerequisites: One course in Science or Biology and one course in Psychology or Permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Alternate Spring Semesters Spring 2009 Examines biological and sociological research on sex and gender. Two main questions will be studied: 1) Biology is destiny: scientific fact or sociocultural bias? 2) How are men and women similar and/or different, and what are the origins of these similarities and differences? (Same course as SOC 2452, WS 2452). Prerequisites: SOC 1000 or SOC 1600, and SCI 1010 or SCI 1020, or one course in biology, or permission of instructor.

3.00 Credits
Fall Semester Introduces students to the basis of human nutrition. Nutrients are studied and their role in human physiology and wellness are discussed. The relationship between the foods we eat and the nutrients derived from them are revealed through the study of digestion. Students undertake an analysis of their own diets with regard to nutritional content. Some of the other topics covered include: food issues from the personal to the global level, food additives, and related topics in current media articles. (Same course as HE 2520). Prerequisite: Any 3- or 4-credit BIOL/CHEM, or SCI course.

3.00 Credits
Spring Semester This course will cover a variety of subjects within the field of forensic science. Topics will include: the identification and collection of evidence; the scientific methods used to identify biological and drug evidence; the use of PCR technology in evidentiary DNA testing; and the principles behind the chemical analysis of firearms and trace evidence. Lectures will focus on scientific analysis and the application of forensic techniques to actual casework. (Same course as CHEM 2700). Prerequisite: Any CLAC I science course.
