Semester Hours: 3 Periodically This course explores various aspects of Chinese culture with a focus on the basic values that guide Chinese behavior, formulate Chinese conventions, and constitute the essence of Chinese thinking. Course materials cover history, religion, philosophy, literature, theater, art, language and calligraphy to give students a bird's eye view of Chinese culture; from different perspectives these aspects of Chinese culture serve as mirrors to reflect the basic Chinese values that lie at the core of class discussion. The course winds up with an East-West comparison, using Western culture as a foil to set off Chinese values. Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: May not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis.

Semester Hours: 3 Periodically This course approaches the complex history and culture of Vietnam through narratives written in French, English and Vietnamese. The cross-cultural and cross-continental perspecives adopted will allow students to understand the struggles encountered by those who wish to assert individual creativity against the powerful forces in place to categorize and define their identity. Novels, autobiographical narratives and short stories about colonial Indochina and post-colonial Vietnam will serve as a basis for discussion and exploration. French and Vietnamese works will be read in English translation.

3.00 Credits
Semester Hours: 3 Fall, Spring Elementary treatment of the solar system, tracing the development of ideas to the present time. Accompanying laboratory illustrates measurements appropriate to solar astronomy. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory.) Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Credit given for this course or ASTR 10, not both.
-
3.00 Credits
Semester Hours: 3 Fall, Spring Elementary treatment of stellar and galactic astronomy, tracing the development of ideas to the present time. Accompanying laboratory illustrates measurements appropriate to stellar and galactic astronomy. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory.) Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Credit given for this course or ASTR 10, not both.

4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to basic cell structure and function and the genetic basis of inheritance. Topics covered include: basic biochemistry, cell structure and function, metabolism and cellular respiration, genetics and molecular biology. This course is designed to be the first required biology course for biology majors. Also recommended for majors in other sciences, pre-health professional, pre-veterinary students and undeclared students considering science as a major. Majors in other disciplines are strongly advised to take BIO 3 or 4 to fulfill a laboratory science requirement. This course sacrifices animals in laboratory. If students taking this course have moral, ethical, or religious beliefs that prevent them from participating, they need to discuss available alternatives to these activities with the chairperson of the Department of Biology. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory, 1 hour workshop, recitation.) SSI 60311: ( Lecture): M-Th, 9:30-11:45 a.m., St. Angelo, 108 Gittleson 60312: ( Lab): M-Th, 12:30-4:30 p.m., St. Angelo, 208/213 Gittleson

4.00 Credits
Semester Hours: 4 Fall, Spring This introductory course covers the biology of the major groups of animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate. Various systems will be discussed (e.g., respiration, nutrition) with emphasis on both the regulatory principle of homeostasis and on the cellular basis of system function. Course designed for biology majors. Also recommended for majors in other sciences, pre-health professional, pre-veterinary students and undeclared students considering science as a major. Majors in other disciplines are strongly advised to take BIO 3 or 4 to fulfill a laboratory science requirement. This course involves dissection of dead animals in laboratory. If students taking this course have moral, ethical, or religious beliefs that prevent them from participating, they need to discuss available alternatives to these activities with the chairperson of the Department of Biology (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory, one hour workshop/recitation.) Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: BIO 11.

4.00 Credits
Semester Hours: 4 Fall This course is an introduction to the study of prokaryotes, protists, fungi, and plants, with special consideration of plant systems. Lectures will briefly survey species diversity while emphasizing common themes among biological systems, such as energy flow, metabolism, communication, and reproductions. Labs use both demonstration and experimental design to substantiate and expand topics covered in lecture. Recitations will more fully develop topics in lecture and/or lab. Lectures, labs, and recitations provide an integrated approach to understanding the relationships between biochemistry, physiology, form, and function at various levels of organization (cellular, tissue, and organ). (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory, 1 hour recitation) Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: BIO 11, 12.
