1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Emphasis is placed on the relationship between landforms and geological processes using local examples. The geologic history of the Chicago region is deciphered through field trips. Map and compass skills are also included. Course cannot be used to satisfy general education requirements. Designed as an in-service course for teachers, environmental educators, and environmental volunteers. Prerequisites: Completion of all general education science requirements.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Participants examine local forest communities using several field methods of analysis, including point-quarter transects, age classification by correlation to diameter class, variable and fixed plot sampling, and evaluating the effects of microclimate. Course cannot be used to satisfy general education requirements. Designed as an in-service course for teachers, environmental educators, and environmental volunteers. Prerequisites: Completion of all general education science requirements.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
An intensive series of field investigations in which participants investigate elements of real lentic and lotic limnological systems, including rivulets, creeks, marshes, ponds, and lakes. Emphasizes characteristic macro-invertebrates, vertebrates, and the physical/chemical properties of aquatic environments whether natural or influenced by human activities. Course cannot be used to satisfy general education requirements. Designed as an in-service course for teachers, environmental educators, and environmental volunteers. Prerequisites: Completion of all general education science requirements.
-
3.00 Credits
This course applies Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to environmental issues. The course is computer intensive, emphasizing the interrelationship and analysis of environmental spatial patterns. The lecture/computer portion of the course is complemented by fieldwork. Prerequisites: BIOL322/323 and either CPSC305 or CPSC610.
-
3.00 Credits
Through readings and discussions, the course will attempt to synthesize several ecological subdisciplines, paying particular attention to landscape ecology. The primary emphasis will then be to apply the synthesis to restoration, preserve design, and environmentally sound land use practices. Topics covered will include the restoration of prairie, woodland, and wetland; the location, size, and shape of nature preserves; and methods used for identifying and linking natural areas. Prerequisites: BIOL322/323.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasizes toxicological principles by examining biological and chemical factors that influence toxicity, the impact of natural and synthetic toxins on the environment and health, toxicity testing protocols, regulations, and risk assessment. Prerequisites: Organic chemistry and either BIOL450/451 or CHEM544/545. biology
-
2.00 Credits
For graduate students of environmental biology. One of three courses on field methods in ecology. Covers basic field techniques, planning of field experiments, collection and analysis of data, and interpretation of result in the study of populations. Topics include the collection and analysis of capture-mark-recapture data, survival analysis, density estimation, analysis and quantification of population dynamics, the effects of predators on insect population dynamics, and the effects of herbivores on plant population dynamics. Prerequisites: BIOL322/323 and STAT 520 or equivalents; BIOL455 and STAT 820 recommended.
-
2.00 Credits
For environmental biology students. One of three core courses on field methods in ecology. Covers basic field techniques, planning of field experiments, collection and analysis of data, and interpretation of results used in the study of natural communities. Topics will include landscape interpretation, topographic and vegetation mapping, analyses of forest communities, age structure in trees, and basic ordination techniques. Prerequisites: BIOL322/323 and STAT 520 or equivalents; STAT 820 recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
This course initiates a comprehensive study of human anatomy. An overview of each organ system is presented and the regional anatomy of much of the body is considered in detail. This course, which emphasizes the trunk, upper extremity, and reproductive systems, stresses the interrelationships of structure with function. Prerequisite: Admission into the Occupational Therapy program, the Physical Therapy program, or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Provides detailed dissection on human cadavers that parallels the topics covered in BIOL701. Corequisite: BIOL701.
