3.00 Credits
Provides an understanding of the biological basis of infectious diseases and the social, historical and ethical consequences of these types of afflictions. Covers background material such as the germ theory of disease and the cell theory at an introductory level. Includes specific cases of emerging or reemerging infectious diseases with emphasis on current events relating to disease outbreaks.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the functional and systematic anatomy of humans. Laboratory studies focus on models of human organs and systems along with a dissected human cadaver. Also includes mammals whose anatomy is then related to the human condition.
-
2.00 Credits
Requires students to not only learn vocabulary, but also the proper pronunciation of medical terms. A class limit is requested to accommodate pedagogical approaches to developing oral pronunciation skills.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to ecology, including physiological and behavioral ecology, population and community ecology, and ecosystem and landscape ecology, and to evolution, including natural selection and population genetics, speciation, and phylogenetic history and systematics of life. Develops skills in the use of the scientific method. For science majors.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their cellular biochemistry, with emphasis on the genetic flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein and the regulatory events, including cell-cell communication, that instruct these pathways. Develops skills in the use of the scientific method. For science majors.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 111 before 2015-16.)
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the science of genetics, with an emphasis on the basic principles of Mendelian genetics, the genetics of populations, molecular genetics, and the genetics of development. For science majors.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 263 before 2015-16.)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the standard approaches for hypothesis testing in biological research, including experimental design, data collection, and data analysis. Emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of ecological data sets. Computer instruction focuses on software programs commonly used for biological data analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the diversity, form, and function of vascular and nonvascular plants. Focuses on the evolutionary innovations that distinguish different taxonomic groups of plants. Topics include plant anatomy and physiology, growth and development, plant classification, plant ecology, and genetically modified foods. Discusses ways that plants are important to humans, ranging from food and lumber to sequestering carbon dioxide. An in-depth exploration of crop plants, including the science of biotechnology.
-
3.00 Credits
The lecture-only course examines how to collect and analyze biological evidences found on clothing, bones, insects, plants, weapons, and other surfaces to help identify victims and support criminal investigations. Covers a variety of subjects intimately linked including forensic anatomy, odontology, anthropology, pathology, entomology, botany, and environmental contamination. Presents case studies for each set of biological materials like insects, plants, bones, and fluids. Features in-depth discussion and writing.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the evolution, form, and function of all major animal phyla, from sponges through chordates. Interactive lecture-laboratory sessions follow a phylogenetic approach to the animal kingdom and incorporate essentials of animal ecology, physiology, functional morphology, and behavior.
