4.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122 or departmental permission) An introduction to the structure and function of the human nervous system to include basic neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and interaction/cooperation between the nervous, sensory, muscle and endocrine systems. Emphasis will be placed on cellular processes and communication. The lab will focus on brain dissection and electrophysiological demonstrations/student designed experiments. Three lecture and three lab hours per week. "FA: 4/29/2013"
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grade of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and MATH A108, A111, A122, or A141) Introduction to the theory of adaptive strategies, population biology, and interspecific interactions of organisms. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and MATH A108, A111, A122, or A141) A survey of the mechanisms that produce changes to the patterns of allelic variation in populations over time, the conditions under which these changes within lineages result in the separation of lineages, and the resulting patterns. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grade of C or better in BIOL A370 or departmental permission) The objective of this course is to provide an overview of tropical marine ecosystems and their biological communities with a special focus on coral reefs and coral reef organisms. There will be a strong emphasis on systematics, taxonomy, and the ecology of dominant taxa and species. Each day will consist of lectures and trips to the field. A large portion of the time in the field will be spent snorkeling on near-shore patch reefs and surveying coastal and inland environments. Course is taught at a field station in the tropics. Special permission required. Additional fees assessed for travel and field station use. Students may count only BIOL A381 or BIOL A575 Topics in Ecology: Ecology of the Bahamas for major credit in Biology. Students who earned credit for BIOL A581 may not earn credit for BIOL A381.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122, and successful completion of CHEM A111) A focus on the interactions between humans and the environment. Course provides information on environmental quality and the impact of environmental degradation on human health, wildlife, and other bioreceptors in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The course will address environmental stressors and pollution, their sources in the environment, their modes of transport and transformation, and their ecological and human health effects. Three lecture hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: C or better in BIOL A121 and A122.) Selected topics in biology not covered in existing 300-level courses. Laboratory and field experiences may be included if appropriate.
-
2.00 Credits
(Prereq: Departmental permission, 12 hours of biology credit) An independent study course in which students will conduct a research project under the mentorship of a biology faculty member. This course is intended for junior or senior biology majors. To successfully complete this course, students must actively participate in lab or field activities (to include regular meetings with their mentor) and produce a written or oral report of results. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 4 hours of credit, two of which may be used towards the biology major. Must be taken with BIOL A400 Seminar in Biology. Contract required.
-
1.00 Credits
(Prereq: Declared Biology major) Biology Seminar is intended to introduce students to current research, practices, and opportunities in the biological and geological sciences. In addition, participation in the series is intended to aid in development of effective communication skills. Biology Seminar is open to all biology majors and requires attendance in departmental seminars. Biology Seminar may be taken as a standalone course or as a co-requisite with BIOL A399 Biological Research III. The course may be repeated for elective credit or used for major credit when combined with BIOL A399. One lecture hour per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Junior standing in Biology major and C or better in MATH A108, A111, A122, or A141) An introduction to fundamental statistical methods as they apply to the biological and life sciences. Topics covered include experimental design, descriptive statistics, probability, one and two-sample models for population means, analysis of frequencies, correlation, linear regression, ANOVA and Monte Carlo approaches to hypothesis testing.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A121 and A122) This is a lab-designated course designed to provide students with an illustration of the concepts of environmental science in an active learning environment. Activities will include experiments, team projects, data analyses, and scientific report writing. The course will address environmental stressors and pollution, their sources in the environment, and the potential ecological and public health effects. Three laboratory hours per week.
