-
3.00 Credits
Study of physical cosmology models. Description of the evolution of the universe, including nucleosynthesis, cosmic background radiation, large-scale structure, galaxy formation and evolution, and high redshift phenomena.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to basic laboratory skills, including pipetting, solutions, dilutions, spectrophotometry, aseptic technique, record keeping, and similar basic laboratory activities. Work will consist of short investigative project. Recommendation: This course is recommended for students with very limited practical laboratory experience. Students wishing to take BIOS 211 will have to take this course or test out of it. See the course URL for instructions.
-
1.00 Credits
A 7-week seminar course to introduce freshmen prospective biologists to the excitement of research at Rice and the Medical Center and to provide context with which to think about facts presented in biosciences textbooks. Small groups will meet weekly with a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher to explore a published research article by a local lab, gaining background information about the subject and exposure to the research techniques. In the final session, the group will tour the lab that produced the featured article. Additional tours and activities TBA. All first-year non-transfer students are eligible to enroll in BIOC 115/FSEM 115 regardless of AP credit. This course meets in the second half of the semester and features research in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Course organizers: Dereth Phillips and Bonnie Bartel.
-
3.00 Credits
Biological topics of current interest, covering advances in biotechnology, human health, agriculture, and the environment. Topics focus on the underlying biology, but may also include the social/political/economic impact. Each session is taught by an expert in that field with the assistance of a class coordinator.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduction to scientific method, principles of experimental design, selected research strategies, record keeping, and technical communication as related to biological science. Students matriculating fall 2009 or later who wish to take BIOC 211 must take BIOC 111 (formerly BIOS 111)or test out of it. See the course URL for instructions.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Undergraduate teaching in a biosciences laboratory. Participate in weekly meetings and selected seminars; supervise up to 24 students in one or more laboratory sections. Provide group and individual instruction to undergraduates during and outside of laboratory classes.
-
1.00 Credits
In this course, undergraduates who have previously excelled in BIOS 344 or BIOC 344 will develop teaching skills by leading discussion sections for the benefit of students presently taking BIOC 344 under the guidance of the professor teaching the course.
-
3.00 Credits
The final in an integrated sequence of three courses (BIOC 201, 301, 302, formerly BIOS 201, 301, 302). Introduction to metabolism, membranes, electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and regulation. Course involves analysis of primary scientific literature.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Independent research in Rice BCB faculty laboratories (sections 3-30) or other Texas Medical Center laboratories (section 1 & 2). Students spend at least 3 hours per week in the laboratory for each semester hour of credit. If taken for 3 or more hours, counts as one required 300+ level lab course (not BIOC 311). Requires a proposal abstract, weekly reports, and a research paper (fall semester) or a proposal abstract, weekly reports, and a poster presentation (spring semester). Students wishing to perform their research in an off-campus lab must submit a completed application to the BIOC 310 instructor at least 2 weeks prior to the start of classes and may not register for fewer than 3 credit hours.
-
2.00 Credits
Advancement of biochemical laboratory methods, record keeping, technical communication skills, and research strategies. Students maintain a research quality laboratory notebook and submit a paper in the style of a journal article. Taught first half of each semester. If you find that you have a time conflict while registering for this course, please contact the instructor to inquire about Special Registration.
