This course will examine the structures and processes that contribute to the inner-workings of the eukaryotic cell. This knowledge is vital in understanding our bodies and helps to inform many other fields. We will develop this knowledge through paired seminar and laboratory sections. Students will complete independent research projects to examine one detailed aspect of the cell, and will communicate the results in oral and written formats so others will learn the breadth of cellular capabilities. Much of the lab work will take place in smaller groups outside of the scheduled class time, so students should expect to spend more hours outside of class compared to other courses. This course is designed with an active learning, flipped classroom approach, so students should come prepared to learn a lot of the content through independent activities rather than lectures or textbooks.
Physical and Biological Sciences Independent Work In this course students are generally expected to spend at least 8 to 10 hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This class satisfies distribution.
