Biological Sciences 145EX - Introductory Biology: 'Exploring Biodiversity'

In this course, we will take a leap back in time to the origins of life, discuss the evolution of major organismal lineages, and investigate physiology and cellular processes. Through the lectures, labs, and in-class discussions, students will be able to explain how scientific knowledge is generated. In lab, students will explore biological diversity, physiology, and cellular dynamics, with a focus on gaining skills in scientific inquiry, including hypothesis development, experimental design, collecting and analyzing results, and scientific writing.

This course is limited to first-year students.; Coreq: BIOL-145EXL.
