  • BIOL 188: Medical and Veterinary Parasitology

    4.00 Credits
    Drew University

    Parasites cause many diseases in humans, farm animals and pets. Some of them, such as malaria, are among the world's most deadly diseases, and are of enormous social and economic as well as medical significance. This course examines the biology of protozoan, worm and arthropod pathogens. It places emphasis on the diseases they cause and on the scientific challenges involved in their control. Students participate in class discussion ofselected parasites, and also report individually on a variety of parasitological topics. Counts toward the organismal sub area requirement for the biology major. Prerequisite: BIOL 9. Offered spring semester.

  • BIOL 196: Research in Biology

    2.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Drew University

    An opportunity for upper-level students to design and execute an independent project in biology, including laboratory or field research, under the supervision of biology, neurosciences, or RISE faculty. A one hour weekly research seminar meeting is required, where students present work in progress and receive logistical guidance. Interested students should meet with a faculty member to plan the project and establish the amount of credit before registration. Students normally enroll for two credits, especially when beginning a new project. Students conducting honors research in biology should register for this course at the four-credit level rather than registering for HON 109 and 110. Two semesters of BIOL 196 satisfy one laboratory course requirement toward the major. Amount of credit established at time of registration. May be repeated for credit but at most eight credits of BIOL 195 and 16 may be counted toward requirements for the biology major. Signature of instructor required for registration. Signature of instructor required for registration. Prerequisite: BIOL 7, 9, and 22, and a minimum GPA of 2.00 in the major. Offered every semester.
