4.00 Credits
(Prerequisites; CH 123, BO 212 and BO 213, and EB 480 (Ecology)). Lectures, Laboratory, and field trips covering soil classification, determination of soil physical and chemical properties, such as bulk density, cation exchange capacity, soil-plant interrelations, including xylem pressure potential, nutrient analysis, and soil conservation.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, BO 212 and 213, ZO 214 and 215, or permission of instructor.) This course summarizes the open-ended nature of biology; students practice developing reality-based experiences in biology teaching at all levels of instruction but focus heavily on communication levels appropriate at secondary and middle schools. Includes prep-aration of biological materials; production and use of overheads, slides and other audio-visuals; use of TV camera and VCR with microscope; laboratory and field procedures and safety; and appropriate selection and use of computers and software in biology education. Review laws relevant to copyright of printed and off-air materials, metrication, sex education, and lab liability. Evaluation of classroom, laboratory and field experiences. Surveys professional journals and local and national science teaching organizations; examines national curricula and textbooks. Extensive practice in sex education delivery appropriate to various age levels. Management of controversy on animal rights, creationism, sex education, and science fraud.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, consent of instructor.) Special topics in Great Plains ecology, zoology, botany, human biology, and microbiota are examined. Although the Great Plains share some biological features with other regions, they have a distinct ecology, including species of plants and animals not found elsewhere. Emphasis is on the distinct aspects of the Great Plains, e.g., Ethnobotany. This course is designed primarily for in service teachers. Content and assignments will vary according to the number of credit hours for which the course is offered.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites, ZO 362 363 or equivalent; in service teachers only.) Studies human reproductive anatomy and physiology, sexual response, diseases and disorders, menstruation, conception, in vitro fertilization, pregnancy and childbirth, birth control, sex differentiation, sex preselection, STD¿s including AIDS, bioethical issues related to human reproductive biology, etc. Participants will practice delivering this information and utilizing appropriate labwork, media and resource personnel.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, GB 425, MC 540, or Biochemistry, or equivalents.) The factors in the continuity and modification of life through time; hereditary basis of evolution; effect of environmental change; diversity and origin of species; theories of the origin of life on earth.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic experimental and comparative design applicable to biological research. The student will gain experience in the use of statistical methods most often used by biologists and gain experience in the interpretations of results.
-
2.00 Credits
The student will be introduced to the primary literature (search methods for locating the literature as well as experience in reading and discussing the literature), the process of constructing a scientific paper (from figures and tables to the written product), writing and presenting a review article and a research proposal.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite, consent of instructor.) Courses taught on demand to provide in depth consideration of specialized topics in the various biological disciplines.
-
1.00 Credits
A practicum covering the various aspects of designing and delivering the types of presentations typical of a professional scientist. Students will be required to attend and critique presentations throughout the semester and deliver a public departmental seminar.
-
1.00 Credits
A course to inform students of the research interests of invited biologists, biology faculty and graduate students. This course is graded on a pass/no credit basis.
