3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Corequisite: Psychology 110 or 112 or Sociology 110. Behavioral Science 252 and Psychology 252 are equivalent. Credit is given for only one course. One and one-half lecture and four and one-half fieldwork hours weekly.) This course is designed to give students meaningful participation in a psychologically related community service agency in order to understand the applications of psychological principles, theories, and concepts. With the mutual consent of student and instructor each student is placed in a school, social agency, special education program, mental health agency, or community organization and works under the direct supervision of someone with a degree, credential, or demonstrated expertise in psychology or sociology. The one and one-half hour weekly seminar provides students and instructor the opportunity to present observations, discuss perceptions, and apply relevant theories and concepts to their fieldwork participation. May be taken twice for credit. (CSU)

3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Biology 99 or Geology 99. However, credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is designed for students who have not reached the level of success they desired in high school or college science courses and for individuals returning to school after an extended absence. The course covers basic scientific principles and concepts of the physical and life sciences and prepares students to move into other science classes with the information, understanding, and skills required to succeed. Introductory topics in biology, chemistry, geography, geology, meteorology, and physics are discussed. This course also provides an excellent overview of the most important topics in science today for anyone interested in learning more about the natural world.

3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course provides an in-depth study of the basic principles of nutrition in health and disease. Topics include: nutrients, vitamins, digestion, metabolism, food safety, diets, eating disorders, and changing nutritional needs throughout life. This is a general education course recommended for anyone curious or concerned about nutrition. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area E, CAN FCS 2

3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Two lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This outdoor field course is designed to give nonmajors in biology an overview of Marin's varied plant and animal communities. Most of Marin's 25 biotic community types are investigated including aquatic and terrestrial. Identification of plants, animals, and ecology are major areas of emphasis. (CSU) AA/AS Area A
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is designed for both science and nonscience majors interested in understanding the distribution and spread of infectious diseases. Emphasis is on the role that specific environments play in determining where and when epidemics will occur. Topics include the biology and ecology of microorganisms and their hosts, geographic medicine, the impact of human activity on the incidence and transmission of infectious diseases, and epidemics in human history. (CSU)

3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Astronomy 105, Biology 105, or Geology 105. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This is an interdisciplinary course that explores the origins and evolution of the cosmos from the Big Bang and the formation of the universe and Earth, to the development of life. Students will explore basic concepts and principles that bind all scientific disciplines, and the nature of science and scientific inquiry. Through the study of astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, students will discover the interrelatedness of all matter, living and nonliving in the cosmos and how physical and chemical processes eventually led to the evolution of living organisms. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B1 or B2, IGETC Area 5A
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Biology 107 or Physical Education 107. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the structure, function, and development of the human body. The course will give students the foundational concepts to explore personal and societal issues involving human biology as well as cover anatomy and physiology concepts useful in preparing for careers in wellness related fields such as personal training, group fitness instruction, and massage therapy. Topics include an introduction to scientific methods of investigation and some elementary chemistry (no previous background necessary) as a basis for understanding human functions such as movement, digestion, circulation, reproduction, and other systems. Some diseases and other causes of body malfunction will be discussed. (CSU/UC) CSU Area B-2, IGETC Area 5B
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Advisory: Biology 110. Three lecture hours weekly.) Introduction to the behavior of animals with an emphasis on the evolution and adaptive significance of these behaviors. (CSU/UC)
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. May be taken for credit as Biology 108A or Behavioral Science 103. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This is a survey course covering human sexuality from a crossdisciplinary approach. The course will examine sexuality from physiological, anatomical, behavioral, and cross-cultural perspectives. Among the topics to be discussed are conception, fetal development, labor and birth, puberty, menstruation, sexual intercourse, menopause, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual variations, masturbation, contraception, sexual anatomy, sex hormones, medical disorders, pornography, relationships, and sexuality and the life cycle. A special emphasis will be current trends in sex research and sexual behavior. (CSU/UC) AA/AS Area A, CSU Area D-7 or E, IGETC Area 4
