Numerous local field trips will be a major part of the course. PREREQUISITES: DSPW 0800 and DSPR 0800 or acceptable placement scores. Three lecture, three field/ laboratory hours per week.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
A course designed to teach critical thinking skills through the application of scientific methods and values. Students will research some of the more controversial topics of the late twentieth century and write short papers on each. Class time will largely be spent discussing these topics. Two or three lecture hours per week. (Same as PSCI 110D).
-
4.00 Credits
A comprehensive course emphasizing cellular structure, function and metabolism; molecular form and functioning of life; reproductive and genetic patterns. Taxonomy is introduced and applied to a taxonomic and morphologic survey of Monera, Protista, and Fungi Kingdoms. (This course is designed for the biology major/minor and satisfies the science requirement in pre-dentistry, engineering, premedical technology, pre-medicine, pre-nursing, or prepharmacy curricula.) PREREQUISITE: High school Biology, or BIOL 1030; high school Chemistry, or CHEM 1030; an acceptable placement score, or DSPR 0800; an acceptable placement score, or DSPW 0800. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week. (Same as RODP BIOL 1110)
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIOL 1110 with emphasis on Kingdoms Animalia and Plantae in terms of tissue structure, comparative morphology and physiology, life patterns, and taxonomy. Consideration will also be given to the evolutionary and ecological interrelationships between these and all life forms. PREREQUISITE: BIOL 1110. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
A course primarily designed for students in nursing, allied health, and those interested in biological sciences.

-
4.00 Credits
Provides a broad introduction to biotechnology including the scientific basis of technologies and historical development with an emphasis on current applications in the areas of agriculture, medicine, forensics, and the environment. The importance of quality regulations and standards and the role of the technician in producing quality results are emphasized. Topics in biosafety will survey potential hazards and safety procedures associated with biohazards including lab animals and pathogens. Students learn basic techniques including: measuring, weighing, mixing solutions, following and writing procedures, keeping records, making observations, and using instrument manuals and catalogues. Students will practice using, calibrating, and verifying the performance of instruments. PREREQUISITES: Placement beyond developmental reading, writing, and mathematics. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
-
