The course will focus on the discussion and identification bacterial, mycobacterial, parasitic, viral and fungal human pathogens and their pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, infectious diseases and antimicrobial agents.
-
1.00 Credits
[=GEOL A490] (Prereq: Senior status; coreq: BIOL A499) A seminar series designed to introduce students to current research in biology and geology through weekly seminars by faculty, visiting scientists, and USCA biology majors. This course must be taken as a co-requisite with departmental capstone courses, BIOL A499 and GEOL A499. Students enrolled in Senior Seminar will be expected to pose a question of scientific significance and prepare a research proposal describing an appropriate experimental design to answer the question. Research proposals will be evaluated based on the student's ability to discuss the question, propose pertinent experiments to test the question, and to make proper use of the scientific literature. The course will culminate in student oral presentations of work conducted in the capstone course. "FA: 4/29/2013"
-
4.00 Credits
(Prereq: Senior status) A capstone experience designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the methodologies of biological research with emphasis on hypothesis formation, experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation through reviews of the scientific literature. Students will learn and practice techniques for data calculation, analysis, and presentation. Class times will also be dedicated to the development of the skills necessary to present scientific results to a wider audience through discussion of techniques observed in the departmental seminars. Three lecture hours per week and attendance at Friday departmental seminars. "FA: 4/29/2013"
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Departmental permission and senior status; Coreq: BIOL A490 or GEOL A490). A capstone experience designed to introduce students to the planning and execution of research and the presentation of research findings. Students will work directly with a faculty member to develop and carry out a research project of biological significance. Enrollment in this course requires an independent study contract and must be taken along with BIOL/GEOL A490, Senior Seminar. BIOL A499 is specifically designed for those who show a desire to conduct biological research. Minimum time requirement: one conference and five laboratory hours per week.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prereq: Grades of C or better in BIOL A350 or BIOL A352 or BIOL A360). A discussion of eukaryotic cell function associated with gene expression, protein processing, and signal transduction. Major topics include DNA replication and repair, eukaryotic gene structure and expression, RNA synthesis and processing, protein synthesis and processing, and cell signaling. Three lecture hours per week.
