| I teach Biology for Non-majors (Biol 101) in Fall and Spring semesters, Introduction to Biology (Biol 171) in Fall semester and Biotechnology and Society (Biol 201) in Spring semester. Please click on tabs to view the power point presentations and study guides. Follow the hyperlinks below to view the class schedules Biology 101 is a one semester course designed to provide students not majoring in any of the natural sciences with an understanding of the major concepts in the following biological disciplines: cell structure and function, genetics, evolutionary theory, plant and animal structure and function, ecology and animal behavior. Additionally, this course provides non-science majors with an understanding of the scientific approach to problem solving and the increasing role biology has in daily life. Lab attendance is required. Biology for Non-Majors (Biol 101_MW) The is also a Biology 101 course but is offered in the evenings. The class meets twice a week between 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Expect a combination of lecture and labs or just one component on each day. Introduction to Biology (Biol 171) Biology 171 is a one semester introductory biology course for all life sciences majors. This course opens the door to students wishing to pursue an academic or professional career in the natural sciences such as biology, microbiology, botany, forestry, marine biology, and aquaculture. It is also necessary preparation for students pursuing a career in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and other related professional fields. The course covers cell structure and chemistry, growth, reproduction, genetics, evolution, viruses, bacteria and eukaryotes. Lab attendance is required. Biotechnology and Society (Biol 201) is a 3-credit course that provides an introduction to the basic concepts, goals and practical impacts of biotechnology. Real-life case studies are used to explore socio-ethical, economic and environmental issues raised by cloning, DNA testing, gene therapy and genetically engineered food, medicines and vaccines using microbes, plants and animals. |
