-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to basic experimental and observational methods of biological research. The course emphasizes the principles of experimental design and graphical and statistical data analysis. In addition, students critique published studies from scientific journals. Prerequisites: C- or better in BIO 111 and MTH 211. A. Throckmorton.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles and procedures involved in transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In addition to learning to use the microscopes, each student will gain experience in related techniques, including fixation, embedding, sectioning, photography, critical point drying, and sputter coating. This is a laboratory oriented course. Offered Fall Semester 2006 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 110 or consent of instructor. J. Robertson.
-
3.00 Credits
A combination of on-campus study, with off-campus study in a natural setting to gain firsthand knowledge of biological concepts and principles that are particularly well illustrated in the region being studied. Experiential, problem-based learning is emphasized. The specific region, topics, and focus are likely to change with each offering.
-
3.00 Credits
An experience planned cooperatively with a research center, laboratory, clinic, government agency, or similar institution. The course does not replace any of the three biology elective courses for a biology major. Prerequisite: department approval after submission of an internship application.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
The first semester of a two-course sequence emphasizing biological discovery and the synthesis of knowledge and skills from previous courses in the major. Focus of the capstone is on application of the scientific method through the design, execution, analysis, and presentation of an experimental study. In the spring of their junior year, students produce a formal proposal for research to be completed in the second half of the capstone, BIO 602. Required of all biology and molecular biology majors. Prerequisite: junior standing. Offered Spring Semester. Biology faculty.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
The second semester of the capstone experience. Students in the class perform individual studies that were proposed in the prior semester, analyze their data, and present the results of their research in an appropriate forum. Required of all biology and molecular biology majors. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 601. Offered Fall Semester. Biology faculty.
-
3.00 Credits
A course with seminar format that focuses on a discipline of pure or applied biology. A laboratory may or may not be included. Prerequisite: major standing or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: department approval after submission of a prospectus.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Honors status and department approval after submission of a prospectus. ( See p. 59.) A minimum GPA of 3.500 is required in the major courses to be considered for admission to the Honors Program.
-
3.00 Credits
An investigation of a number of areas of everyday life and some chemical factors that have significant effects on our lives. Chemistry interacts with other scientific, social, political and economic factors. Examples include our use of energy, pharmaceutical drugs, water, use of non-renewable resources, and waste disposal. The laboratory emphasizes investigation of systems, collection of data and observations, and devising logical explanations. (This course cannot be used as part of a chemistry major or minor. Elementary education majors may use this course to meet the physical science requirement.)
