Individual Study
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of marine and freshwater algae. Planktonic and periphytic as well as microscopic and macroscopic forms will be covered. Primary features of each group will be studied from ecological, morphological, physiological, ultra-structural, life history and evolutionary perspectives. Algal adaptations to major functional ecological units, survival strategies and distribution along ecological gradients also will be considered. Laboratory includes both field and laboratory exercises. Three lectures; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 105 and one additional course in Biology or Botany, which may be taken concurrently. P. Siver

4.00 Credits
A seminar dealing with current topics in botanical research. Student reports, papers, discussion. Open to junior and senior majors, and to others with permission of the instructor. Staff
-
4.00 Credits
This course will explore scientific, technical, social and economic issues surrounding development and use of agricultural plant biotechnology, in particular trans-genetic crop varieties. Focus will be on implications for both mechanized crop production and more traditional agriculture. Topics will include potential impacts on human nutrition and natural ecosystems. This is the same course as Biology 493I, 494I. Prerequisite: At least three courses in Biology, Botany or Environmental Studies. Also open to upper division Anthropology and Economics majors with permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 15 students. Staff

4.00 Credits
This seminar will be an overview of current topics of food production systems in both the developed and developing world. The subject matter covered will include soil salinization, desertification, soil nutrient management, fair trade, immigrant labor, pesticide issues, biological control, local food, biotechnology, and loss of agricultural biodiversity. There will also be field trips to local agricultural operations for observation and hands on learning. This is the same course as Environmental Studies 493M, 494M. Enrollment limited to 15 students.

Honors Study
-
4.00 Credits
Elementary chemical principles will be presented. This basic knowledge will be used to cover topics of interest such as chemical aspects of chemotherapy, the greenhouse effect, global warming, environmental chemistry, detergent chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Intended for nonscience majors. Students cannot receive credit for Course 101 if they have received credit for Course 103 or 107 or the equivalent courses taken elsewhere. Three lectures, no laboratory. Enrollment limited to 60 students. C. Kaczmarek, M. Zimmer

5.00 Credits
The nature and types of chemical reactions and the mass and energy relationships accompanying chemical changes will be emphasized in Course 103. Equilibrium, kinetics and electrochemistry are the primary focus of Course 104. The laboratory emphasizes basic techniques in quantitative and qualitative analysis. Five credit hours each semester. Students cannot receive credit for both Courses 103 and 107. Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory work; one hour recitation. Chemistry 103 is prerequisite to 104. Enrollment limited to 12 students per laboratory section. S. Ching, M. Zimmer, D. Cullen, V. Fontneau, C. Kaczmarek, M. Ronau, Staff
