3.00 Credits
3.00 credits (1.00 lec/2.00 lab) In this course, students will use digital transcription software in transcribing dictated material for a legal office into usable documents. They will experience working with a wide variety of legal documents, develop speed and accuracy in transcribing, as well as acquire proofreading and correcting skills. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 0200 or placement into ESOL 0052 or completion of READ 0100 or ESOL 0042 with faculty recommendation into ESOL 0052.
-
4.00 Credits
4.00 credits (3.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course presents biology as a series of fundamental concepts, all focusing on the theme of the unity and diversity of life. It examines four broad topics: genetics (including Mendelian inheritance, mitosis, meiosis and molecular genetics), evolution (Darwin's theory, evidence of evolution and the history of life including humans), organismal biology (the classification, diversity, and evolutionary history of prokaryotes and eukaryotes), and ecology (energy flow, nutrient cycling, ecosystems and biogeography), and conservation biology. The course includes two hours of laboratory instruction per week. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.

3.00 Credits
3.00 credits (3.00 lec) This one-semester course is designed to introduce concepts needed to study the complexity of humans in a biological world. The body systems are investigated and understood in a pattern of wellness. Ecological and genetic topics are also studied. This course does not satisfy the anatomy and physiology requirement of the Nursing Program or replace BIOL 2200 as a prerequisite to BIOL 2224: Anatomy and BIOL 2225: Physiology. Completion of the optional lab (BIOL 1128) is necessary for transfer as a lab science and to satisfy some Natural Science competencies. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
-
1.00 Credits
1.00 credit (1.00 lab) Laboratory examination of topics covered in BIOL 1127. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051. Prerequisite/Corequisite: BIOL 1127.

3.00 Credits
3.00 credits (3.00 lec) This course provides an introduction to the relationships between people and the environment in the past, present, and future. Students explore these relationships from an interdisciplinary persepective, including a solid foundation in the natural sciences, and topics ranging from history, economics, and politics to philosophy. The goal is to help students think critically about the local and global impacts of our increasing demand for natural resources. Pollution, landscape destruction, and loss of species, with effects on environmental and human health, force us to explore alternatives for more sustainable relationships with the Earth. Offered as a both an on-campus and Web course. Completion of the optional on-campus laboratory course (BIOL 1137) is necessary for transfer as a lab science and to satisfy some Natural Science competencies. Fulfills MnTC Goal Areas 3 and 10. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
-
1.00 Credits
1.00 credit (1.00 lab) This on-campus laboratory course examines topics raised in BIOL 1136 through lab experiments and fieldwork. Examples are assessment of water quality, the use of a GIS, biodiversity and acid rain, among others. Fulfills MnTC Goal Areas 3 and 10. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051. Prerequisite/Corequisite: BIOL 1136.

3.00 Credits
3.00 credits (3.00 lec) This course is designed to give students an opportunity to explore aspects of biology that apply specifically to women. Within the context of body image, the course examines the biological principles, concepts and vocabulary associated with the following topics: the skin; the female reproductive system; menstruation and menopause; pregnancy and fetal development; infertility; genetics and biological sex differentiation. No previous coursework in biology is required. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
-
2.00 Credits
2.00 credits These courses examine a current issue or problem in biology, or provide a field or lab experience not included in the scope of the traditional biology curriculum. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
-
2.00 Credits
2.00 credits (2.00 lec) This course develops a standard base of commonly used Greek and Latin stem words, prefixes and suffixes from which a working technical vocabulary can be constructed for those in nursing, natural sciences, preprofessional fields and other allied health fields. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
-
4.00 Credits
4.00 credits (3.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course presents the principles of genetics at the molecular, cellular and population levels. Chromosome structure and function, gene mapping, mutation and selection, variation, and regulation of gene expression are covered. This course includes two hours of required lab per week. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisites: BIOL 2200; placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
