Laboratory and field experiences are included in this course.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: one course in biology or permission of the instructor This course covers the study of the nature of genetic materials, the fundamental processes of gene replication, and the role of the gene in directing the formation of materials in the cell. Bacterial genetic processes will also be reviewed. Applications of genetic inheritance patterns and populations genetics will be studied.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Concurrent: BIOL 310 Molecular techniques of genetic study and manipulation will be explored. Restriction mapping, PCR, electrophoresis, and bacterial transformation will be several of the topics discussed and utilized in the laboratory section.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: one course in biology This course offers a study of the anatomical structure of the body as it relates to the functioning of the human body. The course begins at the cellular level and continues up to the entire organism, using the organ systems as the means of study. Various technological tools are used to encourage critical thinking in those topics that have societal impact on human health. Genetic influences on the body and its functioning are included. Special emphasis is placed on the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester hour Prerequisite: must be enrolled concurrently with BIOL 322 Microscope slides, models, dissection, various audio visual aids, and written lab exercises will be used to examine anatomical structure and function. Emphasis is placed on the integument, connective tissue, skeletal and muscular systems. Related genetic disorders, disease, and societal concerns are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: one course in biology This course provides a study in the physiological functioning of the body as it relates to structure. Special emphasis is placed on the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, and endocrine systems as these systems are influenced by genetic mechanisms as to their functioning in the development of disease. Also included as topics of discussion are the societal issues affecting the body, such as smoking, drug usage, diet, and other factors of lifestyles seen today. Laboratory exercises further clarify lecture topics. Various technologies are used to enhance class discussions.
-

1 semester hour Prerequisite: must be enrolled concurrently with BIOL 323 Microscope slides, models, dissection, various audio visual aids, and written lab exercises will be used to examine anatomical structure and function. Emphasis is placed on the nervous, endocrine, sensory, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. Related genetic disorders, disease, and societal concerns are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours This course covers the work of the interpretive naturalist with emphasis on practical application. Trail layout and design, planning of self-guided trails, presentations, and the preparation of media and displays are included. The role and occupational duties of the environmental educator and the role of natural areas in our society will be taught.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisites: 12 hours of biology and MATH 123 This course offers a study of the relationships of plants and animals to their environment. Man's influence and dependence on the earth's ecology are also explored. The field and laboratory component emphasizes the use of technology and statistics to analyze ecological data.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisite: 15 hours of biology or permission of the instructor This course is designed to introduce the student to research methods and techniques and develop an appreciation of the importance of the scientific method as applied to biological research. Through classroom discussions, assigned readings, and other activities students will gain experience in designing, conducting, and reporting scientific experiments to more fully understand the importance of scientific research and its relations to social and ethical issues.
