4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. The course examines principles of molecular, cellular, and organismal biology. Topics include biomolecules, cell structure and function, and information processing and inheritance. The laboratory emphasizes the scientific method through experimentation. Q
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. The class is a continuation of BIOL 1800. The course examines principles of organismal biology. Topics include evolution, diversity, plant biology, and comparative anatomy and physiology, evolution and ecology. The laboratory emphasizes hypothesis formation and testing as well as data gathering and analysis. Q
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 3 hr. This course is an introduction to the vegetation of New England. The emphasis of this course is to become familiar with the flora and the factors that influence the different ecological associations found in New England. Laboratory is devoted to the techniques of plant identification with emphasis on the terminology and use of botanical keys. Field trips are taken for collecting representative elements of the local flora and preparation of a herbarium. Q
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. Offered in the fall semester for day students. The course studies the dynamic relationships between organisms and their environment. Field and laboratory work emphasize problem identification, formulation of hypotheses, data collection, and analysis and interpretation of results in terms of their biological implications. Prerequisite: BIOL 1000, or 1100, or 1800, or 1900 or permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 3 hr. This course is an intensive study of the functional operation of human organ systems and the interrelationships of these systems. (Intended for students who are majoring in Biology or Clinical Lab Science.) Q Prerequisite: Not open to students who have taken BIOL 1200/1300 unless permission of Instructor is granted.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. The course starts with a systematic survey of basic animal cell and tissue types, followed by in-depth microscopic study of the major organ systems. Practical work includes histological microtechnique on normal and pathological specimens. Prerequisites: BIOL 1800 or BIOL 2420 or BIOL 1200, 1300 or permission of Instructor
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. This course focuses on classical and current research exploring the mechanisms and evolution of Animal Behavior. Course topics include the genetic, ecological, evolutionary, cellular and physiological processes that shape animal behavior. Particular emphasis is placed on reviewing primary literature to understand the evolution of adaptive behaviors for communication, predator avoidance, foraging, habitat selection, courtship, mating, parental care, kin recognition, and cooperations. Weekly laboratory session will provide students with the opportunity to conduct independent experiments on animal behavior using a variety of model systems. Prerequisite: BIOL 1900 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. Offered in the spring semester for day students 2 hrs. lecture, 2 hrs. lab per week plus some additional time. The course serves as an introduction to the biology of major groups of micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Emphasis is placed on their relationship to man as agents of infectious diseases. In the laboratory principles and practices of aseptic techniques and diagnostic identification and culture of disease entities are explored. Prerequisites: BIOL 1300 and CHEM 1200 or permission of Instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. Offered in the spring semester for day students. Basic principles of biological information processing are examined including Mendelian inheritance, sex determination, chromosome cytogenetics, linkage, recombination and genetic mapping, mutagenesis, molecular genetics and gene-enzyme relationships, and quantitative inheritance. Laboratory work includes study of mutational effects and recombinational analysis in Drosophila, bacteria, and viruses. Prerequisite: Biology 1800 or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 3 hr. This course is required of all students preparing for initial license at the secondary level. It is a sophomore level course for full-time undergraduates and the first course taken by transfer students. It is taught at the local high school and is a clinical laboratory experience. This course includes a 25 hour pre-practicum requirement and is a prerequisite for other certification course requirements. Students become familiar with the complexities of secondary school teaching and its demands. The course gives faculty the opportunity to screen students and gives students the opportunity to test their commitment to teaching.
