8 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 1002Discovering Science4
Students take this one semester, non-science major course to examine central themes of biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science. Fundamental concepts from these disciplines are concurrently addressed enabling students to engage with science and apply it to larger societal issues. Students participate in discussions and laboratory exploration of the content. Course Fees: $50.00
Students who are non-science majors, take this one semester course to examine central themes of biology-cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology and scientific methodology, by focusing on current issues in biology and their interrelation to humans and the environment. Students participate in discussion and hands-on laboratory exploration of the content. A concurrent laboratory and lecture is required. Course Fees: $40.00 Face-to-Face sections only
Students examine the basic chemistry of living systems, cell structures and functions, energy relations including photosynthesis and cellular respiration, Mendelian and molecular genetics, molecular biology, population dynamics, and evolutionary theory. Students perform experiments during regular laboratory sessions and demonstrate a working knowledge of the scientific method. A concurrent laboratory and lecture is required. Course Fees: $45.00 Face to Face sections only
Completion of ENGL 0810 and MATH 0975 , or equivalent placement.
BIOL 2022Animal Biology4
Students examine the anatomy, physiology, ecology and evolution of animal biodiversity. Students demonstrate the ability to compare, contrast, and classify animals based upon shared derived characteristics. Through lectures, discussions, reading and writing assignments, and other activities, students discover the biodiversity of Kingdom Animalia and consider the importance of this biodiversity to themselves, humanity and the biosphere.Course Fees: $45.00
Students gain knowledge of how plants and fungi have evolved, what ecological roles they play in the world, and how species are important to humans. Students also contrast and classify plants and fungi and related organisms through their structure and function.Course Fees: $40.00
An introduction to concepts used in a biological research environment. Students read scientific literature, perform computer-based literature searches, engage in experimental design and data collection, conduct statistical analyses, write a scientific paper, and design a poster. Students may have the opportunity to present their work at a scientific conference.
Completion of BIOL 1010 (with a grade of B or higher) and instructor consent.
BIOL 2390Intro to Science Research II4
This course is a continuation of BIOL 2205 . Motivated students continue to perform scientific research at a higher level than BIOL 2205 . Research II students work more independently in all aspects of research, including designing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and writing scientific literature. Research II students provide leadership for a small group of Research I students, being a “project leader” for an experiment.
Students explore various methodologies employed in biological research, including experimental design, literature searches, data collection, analysis, and research report writing. Students may be required to present their work at public forum.
