This course covers the cell biological aspects of several plant cellular processes. An emphasis is made on experimental approaches. Format includes lectures, discussions, and in-class student presentations.

This course is divided into 3 parts. Each part will include content-based learning in which we examine several aspects of cell biology using lectures, discussion of experimental results and materials from the textbook. Topics will include exocytosis, actin & microtubule cytoskeleton, motors, and mitosis. Each part will also include inquiry-based learning where you will work in groups on a short research project to understand the cellular and molecular basis of a human genetic disease.

The physiology of humans and other vertebrates on a system-by-system basis (e.g., circulatory, respiratory, digestive, etc.). Emphasis on understanding fundamental physiological concepts. Concentrates primarily on human physiology, but examples from other vertebrate animals used to illustrate some physiological phenomena.

Course designed for sophomores in Biology, Biochemistry, or Microbiology. Building upon concepts learned in Biology 100/101, consideration is given to structure and function. The course is equally divided between aspects of molecular and cellular biology.

This course is for students who have a passion for communicating about science. We provide training in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) mentoring techniques and in STEM outreach approaches. You have the opportunity to work with small groups of middle school students and inspire them about all things STEM - as you direct their efforts in a STEM research project. You help your students through the entire process of STEM research, from coming up with an idea to communicating their results at a poster session.

Second semester of a full year course for majors in the life sciences. Topics include plant and animal structure and physiology, evolution, and ecology. Prerequisite: BIOLOGY 100 with grade of C or better.

Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement for Biology majors. Students write and revise short papers on subjects likely to be encountered by biologists. Class discussion of papers. Prerequisites: 3 biological science courses, for declared Biology majors only.
