  • BIO 105: Human Heredity

    4.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    This course presents an introduction to the principles of human genetics. Major topics are: (1) patterns of inheritance in human families; (2) sex determination and sex-linked traits; (3) how DNA works (the explanation of some human genetic traits at the molecular level); (4) genes in human populations; and (5) interactions of genes and the environment. An historical approach is used and most genetic principles are introduced by examples from human medical genetics. Familiar human conditions such as albinism, hemophilia, sickle-cell anemia, dwar?sm, Down Syndrome, and colorblindness are discussed. Three lectures and one laboratory per week. Lab Fee: $300.00. (Fall and Spring) Kraus/ Four credits

  • BIO 140: Inquiry?biology?for Educators

    4.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    In this course, students learn fundamental concepts and models associated with three major subdisciplines of biology – genetics, ecology, and evolution. The course heavily emphasizes the use of open-ended, problem-solving methods of teaching and learning to help students develop their own functional understanding of the major concepts. A significant part of students’ problem-solving work involves the use of computer technology, including the use of concept mapping and computer simulations to facilitate concept development. The course is intended for students planning on pursuing a career in elementary or middle school education. As such, particular attention is given to understanding common misconceptions that children have concerning learning about biological phenomena and considering the ramifications of these misconceptions for the development of effective classroom instruction. At least twice during the term, students will be expected to teach “mini” lessons in the biologicalsciences to visiting elementary school children. The course meets twice weekly in a 3-hour lab session. (Spring) Howe / Four credits

  • BIO 220: Invertebrate Zoology

    4.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    A survey of invertebrate animals from protozoans through invertebrate chordates, emphasizing their functional organization, modes of reproduction, ecological roles, and evolutionary relationships. In the laboratory, we will examine representative living and preserved specimens, concentrating on their structure and behavior. Three lectures and one laboratory or ?eld trip each week. Prerequisite: BIO 160 or equivalent. Lab Fee: $300.00. (Spring) Sholes/ Four credits

  • BIO 230: Botany

    4.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    This course provides an introduction to the biology of plants. Among the topics considered are the role of plants in the biosphere, plant form and function, and the evolution of plants. In the laboratory, students examine representatives of the major groups of plants and learn the fundamentals of plant tissue culture techniques in order to study plant growth and development. Field work includes trips to a variety of local habitats. Three lectures and one laboratory or ?eld trip each week. Prerequisite: BIO 160 or equivalent. Lab Fee: $300.00.

  • BIO 291: Internship in Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    Directed study within an internship program. The student will be expected to keep a journal detailing the internship. The student will also be expected to write a paper (usually approximately 10 pages in length) summarizing an area related to the internship experience. An evaluation by the on-site supervisor will be considered when determining the grade. The student will be required to have a G.P.A. of 3.0 to enroll.

  • BIO 310: Animal Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    This course will initially approach the study of animal behavior from the physiological perspective: the neural basis of behavior (the nervous circuits responsible for sensory input and integration and motor output) will be studied in some detail. Subsequently, the emphasis will shift to the contribution of ecological, developmental, and evolutionary forces to shaping the ultimate behavior output. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory each week. Lab fee $300.00. Prerequisite: BIO 220 or BIO 240. (Fall) Cromarty/ Four credits
