  • BI 323: Basic Medical Histology

    3.00 Credits
    Wagner College

    One unit. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly. This course covers light-microscopic characteristics of the four basic tissue types of the body of vertebral animals, including humans. It also focuses on microscopic anatomy of different organs. Emphasis is made on the relationship between the structure and function of cells and tissues that is fundamental for maintaining homeostasis and central to understanding histopathology, which in turn is crucial to medicine. In the lab, students familiarize themselves with the concepts of light microscopy, learn the basic procedures of tissue preparation (histotechniques), and practice light microscopic tissue and analysis. Prerequisites: The following four foundation biology courses (213, 215, 217, and 219). Students not majoring in biology should have BI 217 and permission of the instructor. Offered spring semester of even-numbered years.

  • BI 333: Animal Physiology

    6.00 Credits
    Wagner College

    One unit. Six hours combined lecture, laboratory, and seminar weekly. This course is a comprehensive study of the basic concepts, principles, and mechanisms of the function of animals. After familiarizing the students with the structure and function of different specialized animal cells and tissues (cell physiology), the course addresses the anatomy and physiology of animal organs and organ systems (systems physiology) in a comparative approach. The course involves oral and poster presentations by students about selected topics of comparative animal physiology. During laboratories the students work in groups on supervised experimental projects conducted with invertebrate animals that are collected and maintained by the students themselves. Not open to students who have successfully completed Biology 209, 210. Prerequisites include the following four foundation biology courses: Biology 213, 215, 217 and 219. Students not majoring in biology should have Biology 217 and permission of the instructor. All students are required to have completed Chemistry 112. Offered fall semester.

  • BI 397G: P,or N Internship in Biology

    0.00 Credits
    Wagner College

    One or zero units. Research or teaching experience for at least 105 hours at a research facility or in a teaching laboratory where there is supervised, hands-on involvement in daily activities. The student will maintain a log describing day-to-day activities and the times and hours worked. A fi nal paper in which the student evaluates the work experience is required. Other possible requirements will be determined by the faculty member overseeing the student's progress. The student's on-site supervisor will completea written evaluation of the student's performance and submit it to the faculty supervisor. Students registered for this course as BI 397G will receive a letter grade; those registered as BI 397P will be taking the course on a pass/fail basis; those registered as BI 397N will be taking the course for no credit ( registration fee required). This course cannot be used to meet requirements for the senior Refl ective Tutorial in Biology (BI 400) nor does it count towards completion of the requirements for the biology major. Interested students should contact the Center for Academic and Career Development. Prerequisites: BI 213 and permission of department chair. Offered as needed.

  • BI 400: Refl ective Tutorial in Biology

    1.00 Credits
    Wagner College

    One unit. This course is linked to a completed research or internship experience which includes at least 120 hours of research or internship. This course must be taken during the senior year, as part of the senior learning community, by all biology majors, as well as bio-psychology majors who have advisors in the Department of Biological Sciences. In this course the student who has completed an internship prepares a review paper on a topic related to the internship experience, while the student who has completed independent research analyzes his/her own data and completes an original research paper. Writing follows standard scientifi c journal formats. Each student is required to successfully defend his/her paper before a senior review committee. All students are also expected to present their fi ndings publicly in oral or poster form using venues that are deemed appropriate by the instructor. Cross-listed w/MI 400. Prerequisite: Completion of research or internship experience (BI 400E), as determined by the chair of the student's senior review committee, is required prior to the beginning of this course. Offered fall and spring semesters.
