9 courses with the subject BIOL, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BIOL 1000Principles of Biology4
Primarily for the non-major. Considers fundamental principles of ecology, evolution, cell biology and genetics, as well as their relevance to contemporary society. Emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Laboratory is required.
BIOL-L004 must be taken at the same time as this course.
BIOL 1009Critical Science Skills1
BIOL 1009 is a course devoted to improving students’ critical thinking, quantitative, reading and writing skills as a corequisite to BIOL 1010 . This course is intended to develop the logical skills necessary for success in the Natural Sciences. Key concepts may include: reading a science article, writing as a scientist, scientific math and statistics skills (including computation, unit conversion, concepts of probability and statistical significance, and significant digits), science study skills, the language of science, lab equipment and safety skills, lab note-taking, and reading and following directions.
An appropriate score on the English, Math, and Reading placement exam.
Corequisite
BIOL 1010 must be taken at the same time as this course.
BIOL 1010General Biology I4
Presents major concepts of biology, cell structures and functions, energy relations, genetics, molecular biology, and evolutionary theory for students majoring in sciences.
An appropriate score on the Math and Reading placement exam.
Corequisite
BIOL-L001 must be taken at the same time as this course.
BIOL 1390Intro to Science Research I1-4
This course provides the student with an introduction to concepts utilized in a biological research environment. Students will read scientific literature, perform computer-based literature searches, experimental design and data collection, statistical analyses, and write a scientific paper. In addition, if the quality of the research project is adequate, students may have the opportunity to present their work at a scientific conference.
A continuation of BIOL 1010 . Units are included on ecology, nutrition, reproduction and development, anatomy and physiology, animal behavior, and the life and diversity of plants and animals.
BIOL 1010 must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Corequisite
BIOL-L002 must be taken at the same time as this course.
BIOL 2100Intro to Research and Analysis4
Students analyze data in the context of biology research projects. Provides a foundation in research design, probability, and inference. Basic computational skills are emphasized to support graphical and formal analyses of research data.
This course is a continuation of Intro to Science Research I. It allows motivated students to continue to perform scientific research at a higher level then Science Research I. Students in Science Research II will be in class with Science Research I students, but will be expected to be more self-sufficient in all aspects of research (for example, designing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and writing scientific literature). Students are also expected to provide leadership for a small group of Science Research I students, being a “project leader” for an experiment.
An introductory course for the biological science major designed to study fundamental concepts in ecosystem and population ecology. Emphasis will be placed on understanding basic principles and their understanding in natural and man-manipulated ecosystems.
This course is for students seeking to bridge natural history, theoretical and experimental ecology. The course will involve field labs, in which the instructors and students will travel along altitudinal gradients encompassing seven locations.
