4.00 Credits
Study of insects, their structure, physiology, taxonomy, development, ecology, economic importance, and their relation to other arthropods. (Three hours lecture, three hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 152. F
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to scientific communication in biology. Topics covered will include the structure of primary literature in biology and outlets for communication of new knowledge in biology, concepts of basic statistical description and inference relevant to biologists, and methods for using biological databases. Hypothesis testing and the hypotheticodeductive method also will be discussed from both the standpoints of statistics and the epistemological foundations of scientific knowledge. (2 hours lecture per week). Prereq: BIOL 141.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the basic scientific principles needed to understand the interdisciplinary and multinational (multicultural) nature of environmental issues and concerns. Through a series of lectures, discussions, and videotapes the student will be introduced to environmental issues from scientific viewpoints as well as political, economic, social, and philosophical realms. (Three hours lecture per week). F, Sp, Su
-
3.00 Credits
Structure, physiology, and general characteristics of medically important microorganisms. Included will be a study of host defense mechanisms, infections of human systems, control of infection, and development of microbiological techniques. Primarily for students in nursing, dental hygiene, and respiratory therapy. (Two hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: one college chemistry course and one college course in human anatomy and/or physiology or BIOL 152 or equivalent. F, Sp
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles of human heredity, nature, and expression of genetic material. The medical and social implications of genetics are explored. Biology majors may not enroll. (Three hours lecture per week). Prereq: BIOL 105 and chemistry recommended. F
-
3.00 Credits
Using biological studies augmented with video clips, the diversity of animal behavior will be explored in the contexts of genetics, environment, ecology, and evolution. Throughout the course, the process of science will be emphasized as a way to understand animal behavior. (Three hours lecture per week). Prereq: one college course in biology
-
4.00 Credits
Dimensions of the physical, chemical, and biological factors of lakes, streams, and estuaries; including the study of benthos and vertebrates with emphasis on identification, classification, anatomy, physiology, and ecology. Indiana species will be emphasized but other important species will be included. Laboratory will be devoted to exploring techniques for evaluation of various aquatic parameters and the identification of organisms. (Three hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 151 and BIOL 152. Sp
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture, laboratory, and field work on vertebrates; including identification, morphology, natural history, and evolution. (Three hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 152 or consent of instructor. Sp
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the natural history, classification, adaptation, life cycles, physiology, and anatomy of invertebrate animals. (Three hours lecture, three hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 152 or consent of instructor. On demand.
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth systems approach will be used to study physiological processes in vertebrate animals with an emphasis on mammals. The course will focus heavily on cellular and molecular mechanisms. Laboratories will include the use of living tissues for the purpose of demonstrating concepts covered in the lecture portion of the course. (Three hours lecture, three hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 152, CHEM 241, or CHEM 353 or concurrently, or consent of instructor. F, Sp
