3.00 Credits
Focus on the concept of culture, the methods of anthropological study, and some of the basic institutions of culture such as family, religion, and economic life. Particular emphasis on using the study of other cultures as a basis for understanding complex modern society. 3 Credits. Fall. Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the theories and methods for interpreting how objects provide evidence for history and express a culture's values, ideas, and attitudes. Includes examination of archaeological method and ethics, and the use of objects in a museum setting. Hands-on projects and visits to local museums and historical sites. 3 Credits. Spring. W.E. Closterman
-
4.00 Credits
Geared for non-majors. Includes basic biological and chemical principles as well as concepts from ecology, earth science, and conservation biology. Discussion of the impact of industrial society on the quality of our environment (land, air, water, and natural ecosystems). Laboratory included. 4 Credits. Fall. S.L. Cooper
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to organic molecules, cell structure and reproduction, basic genetics, energy and metabolism (photosynthesis and respiration), evolutionary theory, phylogenetics, and an overview of the kingdoms of life. Pre-requisite for biology majors and those interested in any upper level biology courses. Laboratory included. 4 Credits. Winter. A.J. Bedford, A.F. Bryntesson, and S.L. Cooper
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to classical ornithology with elements of comparative anatomy and human biology. Course topics include an introduction to anatomy, physiology, behavior, development, and ecology. Laboratory exercises focus on fundamentals of bird anatomy with comparisons to anatomy of other animals. Field trips focus on identification of local birds and introduce fundamental field techniques, especially those used in biodiversity surveys and experimental studies. Because of duplication of subject matter, students may not receive credit for both Biology 115 and Biology 125 (Biology 115 was offered in 2006/07 and 2007/08). Prerequisite: Biology 120. Laboratory included. 4 Credits. Spring. E.R. Potapov and A.F. Bryntesson
-
2.00 Credits
Short course in tropical marine ecosystems including a 7-10 day field trip to the Caribbean. The class will SCUBA dive around coral reefs and ship wrecks to investigate the organisms in these areas. Students keep a journal of their observations and provide a final report. SCUBA certification required (satisfied by Physical Eduction 140). Biology 120 recommended. Special and substantial charge to defray expenses is necessary for enrollment. 2 Credits. Course offered with sufficient student interest. Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Vertebrate form in the context of the evolutionary model. Anatomy of the human contrasted with other vertebrates, with attention to the integration of form and function at all organizational levels. Prerequisite: Biology 121. Laboratory included. 4 Credits. (Not Offered 2008/09)
-
3.00 Credits
General study of function in human systems through organizational levels from the molecular to the organismic. Particular emphasis on control mechanisms and homeostasis. Prerequisite: Biology 121. 3 Credits. (Not Offered 2008/09)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the process of heredity at a more advanced level than Biology 120. A problemsolving, seminar-oriented course integrating principles of evolution, classical Mendelian genetics, and the molecular biology of the gene. Prerequisite: Biology 120, or Biology 115 (Biology 115 was offered in 2006/07 and 2007/08). 3 Credits. (Not Offered 2008/09)
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the structure-function relationship in cells. Illustration of molecular principles upon which cellular structure and function depend. Foundation course for all other molecular biology courses. Prerequisite: Biology 120 and Chemistry 110. 3 Credits. Spring. A.F. Bryntesson
