3.00 Credits
The primary focus of the course is the development of skills that will enable the student to think critically and evaluate the enormous amount of new information coming out of the biological sciences every year. Students will investigate issues of social importantance such as current issues in environmental biology, diet and nutrition, cancer, or evolution and use journal readings, text books, magazines, and other, similar resources to gain the necessary scientific background information to understand those issues. Students will be expected to take an active role in their learning by reading about the issues raised in the course beyond the materials presented in class and through participation in discussions both in class and in the course's discussion forum. 3 hours lecture, 3 credits. Offered as needed.

BI111 fulfills the general education requirement in the natural sciences and are designed for students not majoring in the sciences. Both courses emphasize the significance of science as a way of knowing and direct student attention to the basic biological principles that underlie particular social issues of current concern. BI111 and 112 may be taken independently and out of sequence. BI111* provides students an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Students will gain an understanding and appreciation of the elegant molecular mechanisms that underlie human genetics and reproduction, and learn the essential facts of the structure and function of the eleven organ systems that comprise the human body. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory; 4 credits Students may not take BI111, 112 (or equivalent transfer courses) for biology major credit after completing BI115,116.

Is a course concerned with natural history. It is a course designed to tell the story of life on Earth. Students who take this course will gain an understanding of biogeography and learn what is known about the origin and evolution of the organisms living on Earth today. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the major principles of the science of ecology and environmental science, and students will gain a deepened appreciation for the interdependence and interrelatedness of all living organisms. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory

3.00 Credits
A practical overview of scientific investigation with emphasis on a unified process of experimental design, hypothesis testing and data analysis. A variety of descriptive measures and statistical techniques, both parametric and nonparametric, are presented from the standpoint of their appropriateness to the context of the data. Proficiency in the use of computer software for data analysis and display is a major goal of the course and is emphasized throughout. Prerequisites: Completion of any of the following courses: PH112, PH122, CH112, CH114, BI111 and 112, or BI116. 3 hours lecture, one semester; 3 credits. Offered each Fall.
