2.00 Credits
This course builds upon the basis of the scientific method that students are exposed to as freshmen. It focuses on teaching students how to develop biological questions, search databases to obtain background information, design scientific experiments, and analyze data. The course will focus more specifically on how research data is obtained, how experimental knowledge and data are dispersed amongst the scientific community, and how these data are used as a base for correlating new data and upon which new experimentation is based. Lecture and laboratory. Offered as a Quad course. Corequisites: Mathematics 362 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of plant structure, function and diversity. Lecture and lab. Offered every year. Prerequisite: Biology 210 (Biology and Chemistry majors) or Biology 105 ( Environmental Biology minors), or consent of instructor. Mathematics 203 or Mathematics 362 recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
