| Biology is part
of all of our lives: as humans and as citizens
and voters. Many of the issues we deal with each
day, such as health, genetic counseling, energy
alternatives, and land use, deal with biology.
In this course you will learn basic principles
of biology and to objectively apply them to your
decisions on health and medicine, nutrition, and
the environment. In addition to learning how science
is done, the lab requirement is designed to help
you learn to collect data and apply that information
to problem-solving.

Lab Schedule:
The BIOL 101 lab is auto-tutorial and is scheduled
"By Arrangement." A new lab experiment
is assigned each week. You can work in lab anytime
during the lab's open hours and take as much or
as little time as you need to complete each week's
lab assignment. Each lab is designed to take approximately
2.5 hours. |
