3.00 Credits
(Fall odd numbered years) A course that delves into the role of women in science throughout history. Students will examine the relationships of women to society in general and to science as it evolved through changing societies. The lives of an assortment of women who contributed to scientific advance will be examined. Three lecture hours per week. Prerequisites: any Laboratory science.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall, Spring, and Summer, Course Offered Every Year) Recent advances in biology and medicine are creating many new and complex social issues and conflicts. Developing a community of concerned responsibility to resolve these issues requires an understanding of the underlying biological principles involved and of the various potential solutions. Through a series of selected topics Biology and Society will present the pertinent basic biological concepts and will foster discussion of values and issues involved in making personal decisions about each topic. Prerequisite: Any lab science course.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall and Summer- course offered every year) A lecture course on the functional anatomy of human cells and tissues, organization of the body, the integument, the skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system and sensory structures. The perspective of the course is on the relationship between structure and function, adaptation through evolution, and homeostasis. Three lectures per week. Corequisites: BIO 248
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring and Summer - course offered every year) A lecture course on the functional anatomy of the endocrine system, reproductive system, digestive system, respiratory system, excretory system, and circulatory system. The perspective of the course is on the relationship between structure and function, adaptation through evolution, and homeostasis. Three lectures per week. Prerequisite: BIO 208, BIO 248. Corequisite: BIO 249
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall, Even-Numbered Years Only) Emphasizes seed plant anatomy, morphology, physiology, and systematics, but surveys all other plant groups as well as fungi and algae. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: BIO-110, BIO-151. Corequisite courses: BIO-241.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
(Summer - odd numbered years) An interdisciplinary field biology course with focus on tropical ecosystems, natural history, and conservation. The ecological complexity of the tropics, the patterns of species diversity and the types of species interactions that characterize these systems are discussed, as well as how these ecological processes are affected by human activities. The approach is experiential, with emphasis on developing scientific skills of observation, analysis, and critical thinking, and applying them to field research. Study abroad course. Prerequisites: BIO 110 and BIO 151; or other Lab Science upon permission by instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall and Spring, Course Offered Every Year) A comparative phylogenetic study of protozoans and animalians. For each taxon structural and functional consideration will be given to the systems of maintenance, activity, and continuity. The course will also emphasize the ecology, behavior, and evolution of each group. Prerequisites: BIO- 110, 151. Corequisite: BIO-242. Three lecture hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
(Fall - course offered every year) Application of scientific principles to the study, conservation, and management of the environment with emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving used to study this broad field. Three class hours and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite courses: Any lab science course.
-
1.00 Credits
(Fall, Even-Numbered Years Only) Laboratory study of plants to illustrate and supplement lecture material presented in BIO-211. Laboratory exercises will deal with life cycles and morphology of the major groups of the plant kingdom, anatomy and morphology of higher plants, and experiments in plant physiology. Three laboratory or field trip hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 151 Corequisite courses: BIO-211.
-
1.00 Credits
(Fall and Spring, Course Offered Every Year) Laboratory studies include specific reference to classification, structure, function, ecology and phylogeny of the major animalians. Special emphasis is placed on the observation of living animals. Three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 151. Corequisite: BIO-222.
