An introduction to biological principles through study and discussion of contemporary issues. Intended for non-science concentrators. Topics in 101 include origin of the universe and molecules; the immune system; and genetic engineering. Topics in 102 include energy production, utilization and conversion within ecosystems; and global implications of sustaining the biological system. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. May not be taken for biology area of concentration. Concepts and Connections in Biology This course is designed to enable non-science concentrators to develop an understanding and an appreciation for how science works from a biological perspective through study of select topics in natural sciences. We will examine current developments in topics such as genetics, human physiology, environmental biology and microbiology in a way that will allow students to construct a framework of key biological concepts and make connections to their lives through consideration of the applications of basic scientific principles. Students will become involved in the process of doing science, implementing lab exercises aimed at answering specific questions and developing their critical thinking skills. Evolution will be discussed as a unifying theme which helps to elevate biology from a bewildering collection of facts to a coherent study of changing life on a changing planet. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week.
