Individual research on a problem by special arrangement with a faculty member. Projects are expected to involve primary, experimental approaches that augment training in basic biology and that echo the curricular focus of the Division of Biological Sciences. (P/NP grades only.) Prerequisites: Students must have an overall UC San Diego GPA of at least 3.0, a minimum of ninety units complete, and approval by division chair. Students must complete a Special Studies form and a Division of Biological Sciences “Research Plan.” (Note: Applications for a BISP 199 must be submitted to the Division of Biological Sciences prior to the eighth week of the quarter preceding the quarter in which the BISP 199 will be completed.) This course may be counted as one of the upper-division electives for a biology major, providing that no other special studies courses have already been counted toward the major. May be taken for credit three times.
-
4.00 Credits
A global historical overview of principles and patterns of human development, with emphasis on technology and the arts. Traces causes and consequences of cultural variation. Explores interactions of regional environments (geographic, climatic, biological) with social and cultural forces. Prerequisites: Sixth College students only; may be taken concurrently with SDCC 1.
-
4.00 Credits
Students initiate, plan, and carry out community-based and/or research-based projects that connect classroom-based experiences and knowledge to the outlying community, and that explicitly explore the interplay of culture, art, and technology. Prerequisites: upper-division standing and consent of instructor.
