Environmental Earth Science
In this course we will investigate how the natural world operates and examine how societyinteracts with Earth. Class discussions and weekly projects will introduce the major concepts and techniques of earthscience, environmental sciences, and resource management, providing grounding in the geosciences and forming a basisfor the interdisciplinary study of environmental topics. This course will emphasize a hands-on, field- and lab-orientedapproach to earth and environmental science in which students will learn to observe, pose questions, build hypotheses, anddevelop answers.
Human Biology
Students in this course will learn about the biological function of selected human organs and systems through the study of actual medical cases. Not all human systems will be covered, but students will gain a good understanding of how diseases affect the body and how they are diagnosed. Students will develop diagnoses for medical cases through review of descriptions of patient histories, physical exams, and laboratory findings. A human biology text, medical texts on reserve, and Internet resources will help students track down information they need to solve these medical mysteries.
