-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01204 This is a lecture/demonstration course which sudies the science that embraces the history, source, cultivation, collection, preparation, distribution, commercem identification, composition, purity and preservation of drugs of plant origin.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01100 and BIOL 01101 This laboratory course is designed for students transferring into the Biology major after having completed Biology I and Biology II at another institution. This course will review key topics covered in Biology 1, 2, and 3 (BIOL01.103, BIOL01.104, and BIOL01.203) while introducing students to a variety of scientific skills covered in those courses. Examples of skills include critical thinking, experimental design, reading of primary literature, data collection, analysis, and interpretation, and oral and written scientific presentations. Credit will not be given for both Biology 3 (BIOL01.203) and 3t (BIOL01.202).
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01104 and BIOL 01106 This laboratory course introduces students to the fundamentals of cell biology, including the cellular basis of life, cell evolution, cellular organization, cell metabolism, cell diversity, cell-cell communication, intracellular signaling and the cellular basis of disease.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01104 and BIOL 01106 and BIOL 01203 or BIOL 01100 and BIOL 01101 and BIOL 01202 This laboratory course serves as the capstone for the biology core curriculum. Students will learn integrative concepts linking topics from Biology 1, 2, and 3 together in terms of population, community, and ecosystem-level ecological processes. We will explore these concepts through case studies covering diverse topics from biodiversity patterns to anthropogenic effects on individuals to ecosystems. This course will reinforce the skills introduced in earlier core courses, and will build upon these skills with further expectations of writing, primary literature synthesis and review, and critical thinking.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 06105 Fundamental concepts and applications of biochemistry, cellular biology, microbial physiology, and environmental microbiology will be presented during this course. Emphasis will be placed on the theme that all biological systems (from the molecular level to the community level) are dynamic and interactive. Laboratory sessions will expose students to a variety of standard biological techniques from areas such as biotechnology, microbiology, and environmental biology. No credit toward biology major.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01204 This laboratory course considers the algae. It studies the relationships of these organisms as they are ordered in taxonomic schemes. Proper identification of specimens will be emphasized. May not be offered annually.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01204 This laboratory course considers organic evolution, including its conceptual basis, its historical development, the processes that produce it, and the evolutionary history of life on earth. Laboratory exercises will include simulations of evolutionary processes, demonstrations illustrating patterns of evolution in the past, and opportunities to utilize research techniques of evolutionary biology.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01204 This laboratory course explores topics such as virus origin and evolution, their physical structure and chemical composition, taxonomy, and modes of transmission. The mechanisms involved in their control of the machinery of their host cells will be studied in detail. Particular focus will be placed on important virus-associated human and animal diseases, AIDS, and the role of viruses in cancer.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01204 This lecture and laboratory course provides a comprehensive treatment of the morphology, taxonomy, physiology, and ecology of fungi, and their involvement in man's everyday life. This course may not be offered annually.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01204 This course covers anatomy, physiology, ethology and ecological parameters of the avian community. Laboratory and field investigations form a significant part of the course. May not be offered annually.
