Natural Science 0258 - Cell Biology

The structures and processes inside human cells determine how we function (or dysfunction) in the world, and yet they were only discovered in the last few hundred years. We will discover what is known about how they work through primary literature, group work, and laboratory exercises. We will also discuss what is still not known and how scientists work to find the answers. This course is designed with an active learning approach, so students should come prepared to learn a lot of the content through independent activities rather than lectures or textbooks.

Independent Work Quantitative Skills In general students can expected to spend 8-10 hours/week working outside of classtime
