Emphasis is placed on developing basic laboratory skills, communication,
collaboration, critical thinking, organization and self-assessment. Providing students
with a framework for the study of more integrated topics in biology, the initial portion
of the course will be devoted to developing an understanding of the nature of science
and the basic structures, biochemistry and functions of plant and animal cells. Using
these fundamental concepts as background, students will then investigate the topics
of genetics, taxonomy, evolution and ecology. Bioethics, the study of the social and
philosophical implications of new biological and medical procedures, will serve as
the theme throughout the course. 3 hours lecture/2 hours lab
