3.00 Credits
A practical experience for students seeking licensure as a secondary school biology teacher. Topics will include the presentation of lessons, assessment techniques, use of computers, planning the laboratory experience and inquiry teaching. Thirty hours of pre-practicum experience in a secondary school biology classroom is a requirement in this course. This course may be used to satisfy biology elective requirements but does not count toward 0200-level course requirements. Prerequisites: EDUC 0353 and completion of 20 hours of the biology courses needed for teacher licensure, or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Directed research in biology with the student conducting a research project under supervision of an instructor. Research projects should involve investigation of a biological problem using the scientific method. The results of the study should be reported in the form of a scientific research paper and presented in an oral presentation to the department. Three or more credits of BIOL 0399 may be applied toward the biology major. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the nature and function of computers, with emphasis on the social, intellectual, legal and ethical issues involved with their use in contemporary society. Includes a survey of computing technology to the extent necessary to enable the student to identify, understand and evaluate computer-related issues such as privacy and databases, data matching, automation and dehumanization, worker displacement and computer security, fraud and evolving moral and legal concerns associated with modern technological society.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an overview of the fundamental principles of computer science. Topics covered include data representation, storage and manipulation techniques; an introduction to computer architectures and operations; an investigation of useful data structures; and a review of file organization and database models. The development and analysis of elementary algorithms, employing modular design programming language techniques, are used to demonstrate a number of the course concepts. Prerequisite: High school math through Algebra II or MATH 0104.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to basic concepts of procedural computer programming. Topics covered include the syntax and semantics of the BASIC programming language, structured programming techniques, and fundamental data structures. Problem-solving tools and techniques, along with common, elementary algorithms are introduced, and applied to the solution of a variety of problem types.
-
4.00 Credits
A theoretical introduction to computer science and program design for computer science and computer information systems majors. A current high-level programming language is utilized. Topics include software design techniques, object-oriented programming, procedural abstraction, event-driven programming, and graphical user interfaces.
