Individual study of a selected problem for qualified students.

Basic concepts of microbial genetics, and genomics. Both classic and modern experimental approaches to studies of fundamental genetic processes. Prerequisites: MICROBIO 310 or BIOLOGY 151 and 152/153 or consent of instructor.

Microbiological laboratory procedures including sterile technique, microscopy, enrichment and isolation, and preservation. Extensive experience in the cultivation of microorganisms. Prerequisite: MICROBIO 310 or concurrent enrollment.

Overview of the microbial world including a survey of the structure, functioning, and diversity of microorganisms. Introduction to the fundamental concepts of microbial physiology, ecology, genetics, and pathogenesis. Prerequisite: CHEM 250, CHEM 261 or concurrent enrollment.

Not for majors. With lab. Basic concepts of microbiology with emphasis on microbial pathogenesis and immunity. Medically important microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, rickettsia, protozoa, and the diseases which they produce. Laboratory exercises develop fundamental skills in aseptic technique, microscopy, pure culture study, and the isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms. (Gen.Ed. BS)

Introduction to computational techniques used in science and industry. Topics selected from root-finding, interpolation, data fitting, linear systems, numerical integration, numerical solution of differential equations, and error analysis. Prerequisites: MATH 233 and 235, or consent of instructor, and knowledge of a scientific programming language.

This course provides future secondary math teachers an introduction to a range of topics related to the teaching of mathematics in the public schools. The focus will be on increasing the participants' mathematical content knowledge for teaching by exploring the mathematical content and practices of secondary math. Through these explorations, students will have opportunities to gain some familiarity with the Massachusetts Frameworks, Common Core, standardized and local assessments, curriculum resources, and other topics related to secondary math teaching.
