4.00 Credits
The first part of a two-semester course sequence, this course will study the various systems of the body from a combined anatomical and physiological standpoint, with laboratory experiments which illustrate their structure and function. Students will develop their critical thinking skills by analyzing hypothetical problems relating to anatomy and physiology; many of these problems will have medical applications. The first semester will focus on the following organ systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and special sensory. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 75

4.00 Credits
The second part of a two-semester course sequence, this course will cover the remaining physiological systems of the body Students will develop their critical thinking skills by analyzing hypothetical problems relating to anatomy and physiology; many of these problems will have medical applications. This semester will focus on the following organ systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary and male and female reproductive systems. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week Prerequisite: BIO 333 Course fee: $ 75
-
4.00 Credits
Field Biology is an intensive ecology course that will allow students to become familiar with more principles and applications of ecology. Experimental and descriptive methods of ecological investigations will be learned through laboratory exercises and field projects. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 241
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide an overview of experimental research methods in the sciences. Topics include discussions of laboratory research design and methods, ethics in research, the use of animal and human subjects, and the critical analysis of published research reports. Development of scientific writing skills will also be emphasized. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 or permission of the instructor
-
3.00 Credits
This course is for biology B.S. program majors who are in their last year of the program. Students will produce three major products (1) a literature review on an approved topic of their choice; (2) a research proposal that may or may not be submitted to the Gallaudet Research Institute in order to obtain funding; and (3) a final research article, which summarizes and analyzes the data which the student collected during their research project, and which is written in the format of a professional journal article. The student and instructor will need to draw up a work contract which specifies the parameters of this work as well as meeting times. Prerequisties: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Students whose capstone research project requires more than one semester of work may also enroll in this course for the second semester to obtain additional course credit. The student and instructor will need to draw up a work contract which specifies the parameters of this work as well as meeting times. Prerequisties: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
This course is cross-listed and is otherwise known as BIO 711. An in-depth examination of the mechanisms involved in producing genetic variation in humans and medical/ clinical aspects of genetic variation and disease. Topics include human cytogenetics and chromosomal disorders, nontraditional inheritance, genetic counseling, and the ethical, legal, and social impact of genetics technology. Hereditary variations in deaf people are also discussed. Three hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 or permission of the instructor
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth study of cellular structure and organization and the biochemical functioning of the cell. Modern cell biology weaves three areas into one. The three areas are: cytology, which is concerned with cellular structure; biochemis try, which helps in understanding the techniques for the separation of cellular components and the life processes in cells at the molecular level; and genetics, which emphasizes the molecular structure of genes and how the genetic code controls expression through transcription of mRNA and translation into protein structure and function. Topics will include similarities and differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes; the composition, function, and synthesis of biomacromolecules; storage and retrieval of genetic information; gene activity; cellular differentiation, intercellular commucation; and mutation. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 75
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the origin and development of representative vertebrates, illustrating in detail the development from zygote to germ layers to organ derivatives. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 50
-
5.00 Credits
A study of the microscopic anatomy and histophysiology of the major tissues and organs of the vertebrate body, with emphasis on structure-function relationships. Three hours of lecture and two two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 331 Course fee: $ 50
