3.00 Credits
An exploration of how human activities such as food and energy production, resource extraction and waste disposal affect our natural environment and other organisms living in it. Students learn about how the earth works, how we are stressing the earth's life support systems, and how to deal with the environmental challenges humans face. Specific topics include biodiversity loss and conservation, agriculture and biotechnology, toxicology and environmental health, air and water pollution, and climate change. Not open for credit to students who have completed Biol 131. Non-laboratory course. (Credit, full course.) McGrath
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the science and natural history of birds. Students explore major themes in avian ecology, evolution, conservation, physiology, and anatomy, with an emphasis on the birds of the southeastern United States. The course includes field trips emphasizing methods used to study wild bird populations. This course fulfills the college? requirement for a non-laboratory science course. May not be taken for credit if the student has already received credit for Biology 201. (Credit, full course.) Haskell
-
3.00 Credits
A study of food and hunger from a biological perspective. The interactions among scientific, ethical, and cultural aspects of hunger are also examined. The readings, lectures, and discussions in the course are supplemented with work with local aid organizations and exploration of the contemplative practices that motivate and sustain many of those who work with the hungry. This course cannot be used in fulfillment of any general distribution requirement. (Credit, full course.) Haskell
-
3.00 Credits
A topical study of the biological nature of women and their role in the natural order. Topics include the following: women and scientific inquiry; genetics, evolutionary theory and women; social Darwinism and sociobiology; physiology and women's health; sex differentiation, hormones and a non-deterministic model of human sexuality; and biology from a feminist, ecological and third world perspective. Contributions of women to biological knowledge are included. Non-laboratory course. (Credit, full course.) Staff
-
3.00 Credits
An historical and philosophical approach to selected scientific ideas that have had a profound impact on the development of Western civilization. Emphasis is on the evidence supporting the ideas and controversies that arose during their introduction into our general store of knowledge. Class discussion is encouraged. Non-laboratory course. (Credit, full course.) Palisano
-
3.00 Credits
Phylogenetic survey of the plant kingdom and a study of flowering plant structures and functions with emphasis on the role plants play in human life. Non-laboratory course. (Credit, full course.) Evans, Jones
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the natural processes that control patterns of biological diversity in evolutionary and ecological time and a comprehensive examination of how human activity has resulted in the loss of biodiversity both regionally and globally. Non-laboratory course. (Credit, full course.) Evans
-
3.00 Credits
The course examines brain anatomy and physiology, investigates the contributions of artificial intelligence and neural networking in understanding brain function, and explores an interdisciplinary approach to understanding human creativity. This course cannot be used in fulfillment of any general distribution requirement. (Credit, full course.) Palisano
-
3.00 Credits
A study of ecology, evolution and biological diversity, with an emphasis on scientific investigations in the natural areas in and around the University. The course, which is scheduled for one afternoon each week, meets the distribution requirement for a natural science course but does not fulfill the requirement for a laboratory science course. May not be taken for credit by students who have completed Biol 131. (Credit, full course.) Staff
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of biology. Topics include evolution, Mendelian genetics, ecology, conservation biology, and a survey of the diversity, structure, and function of major groups of organisms. Laboratory class. (Credit, full course.) Evans, McGrath
