-
4.00 Credits
This course examines the structure and function of cells and their components. (1 two-hour lecture period and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 2410 and BIO 3431;. BIO 3446 is strongly recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
This course deals with the application of basic molecular biology techniques and protocols to study and manipulate DNA molecules. The course emphasis is on restriction analysis and mapping of DNA, construction and screening of recombinant plasmids, transformation of bacteria with plasmids, and miniprep of plasmids through organized laboratory activities and lectures. Each student is expected to actively and consistently take part in all laboratories. (1 one-hour lecture period and 3 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 3442 and BIO 3446 or CHE 3446.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers laboratory methodologies of recombinant DNA technology, the theoretical basis for the analysis of protein, RNA and recombinant DNA molecules, and interpretation of results. Recombinant DNA methods include gene cloning, polymerase chain reaction, chemical and electro-transformation procedures, immuno-detection of specific proteins, identification of specific messenger RNA by RT-PCR, specific DNA sequence by Southern blotting mini-prep of plasmids, and DNA sequencing. (1 one-hour lecture and 3 twohour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 4467.
-
4.00 Credits
This course acquaints the student with various kinds of plant communities and the interrelationships of the organisms found therein. (2 lecture periods and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 1401
-
4.00 Credits
This course offers a study of fungi in general and the diseases of plants caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and some other agents. (2 lecture periods and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 1401.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides students with the fundamental considerations that affect the cells at a molecular level that create the circumstances from which abnormal cells arise. Lectures and demonstrations will be used to explain the role of nutrients, toxins, free radicals, DNA repair enzymes, growth factors, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, angiogenesis, signal transduction mechanisms in tumor formation, the role of the white blood cell system, macrophages, the role of rare proteins involved in tumor necrosis, apoptosis, and the role of natural killer cells and how they can be neutralized. In addition, this course will cover cancer epidemiology, prevention, and principles of drug action in reference to a cancer diagnosis.
-
3.00 Credits
This seminar provides an introduction to the early childhood profession, including its history, foundation philosophies, and current issues, among them developmentally appropriate curricula and environment. The course addresses the professional characteristics and ethics of early childhood teachers; early childhood professional organization policies and emphasis; and current and future trends in early childhood and early childhood special education. An early field experience is required. Students spend 20 hours observing birth through kindergarten typical and atypical children and the settings in which care is provided for them.
-
3.00 Credits
This course studies various cultural contexts of families with typical and atypical birth-to-kindergarten children. Students examine culture-specific child-rearing practices, family configuration, complex and differential interactions that are culture-based and their relationship to child and family perceptions, attitudes and behaviors. The complexities of family structure and individual uniqueness are examined. Students study how individual children develop in response to different family cultural contexts.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines areas of infant and toddler, typical and atypical development, with close attention to motor, social, emotional and cognitive behaviors and the theoretical and research-based rationales for each. The distinct stages of development through which infants and toddlers develop and the factors that influence typical and atypical development are examined. A 10-hour field experience is required in which students observe and participate in reflective analysis of typical and atypical preschool and kindergarten settings serving children and their families. Students must demonstrate the ability to understand preschool and kindergarten children's development and the ability to recognize and respect the varying cultural contexts of children.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with opportunities to investigate theories and current research in the development of preschool and kindergarten, typical and atypical children. Major cultural differences regarding views of the child and child-rearing practices are examined. Students examine and use research methods terminology and techniques to describe the interrelatedness of the domains of human development for both typical and atypical children. In a 10-hour field experience, students observe and participate in reflective analysis of typical and atypical preschool and kindergarten settings serving children and their families. Students must also demonstrate the ability to understand preschool and kindergarten children's development and the ability to recognize and respect the varying cultural contexts of children and families.
