3.00 Credits
An examination of modern concepts in biology. The scientific method will be examined and feminist criticisms of science will be discussed. The topics of reproduction and development, heredity, and ecology will be used as focal points for an in-depth discussion of the conceptual framework of biology and feminist criticism thereof. Cannot be used for Group A or B elective for biology majors. Credit given for only one of the following: BIOL 100, BIOL 250, or BIOL N200. Preparation for Course P: sophomore standing. For nonmajors. Cr. 3.
-

Major ideas in biology such as immunization, spontaneous generation, inheritance, evolution, genetic engineering, and ecology will be examined. Students will analyze the methodology and results that lead to understanding these ideas. Small-group discussion, oral presentations, and written papers will be used to study the impact of these ideas on other areas such as economics, politics, or religion. Cannot be used as a group A or B elective for biology majors. Preparation for Course P: an introductory course in biology. Cr. 3.
