CE Biology 1200

CE Bio 1200- Human Biology

This one semester course is a broad introduction to the biology of humans. This course is designed for pre-health majors and is a foundational course for future health science classes. It is a general education course and will cover a wide range of topics including: chemistry of living systems, cell theory, cellular respiration, organ systems, genetics, inheritance, cancer progression, evolution, and ecology.  This course counts for 1 high school science credit and 3 college credits through Utah Tech. This is an asynchronous online class, meaning you can work on your own time within a certain time frame.  There are hard deadlines each week. All exams must be proctored through Proctorio proctoring service.  Webcam needed for the proctored exams.

Fulfills General Education Life Sciences requirement. Covers basic anatomy and physiology of humans for pre-health science majors. Focuses on the general structure and function of the human body including tissues, organs, and systems. Through lecture, videos, models, quizzes, and tests, students become familiar with how the human body functions. Inclusive Access Course Material (electronic book) fees may apply, see Fees tab under each course section for details. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Explain the process and methods of science, including asking testable questions, using inductive and deductive reasoning in forming hypotheses and in making reliable predictions. 2. Explain and apply major concepts of life organisms including: the chemistry of life, the cell, the genetic basis of life, and human evolution. 3. Describe the function and processes of the major body systems including: cardiovascular, immune, digestive, urinary, muscular, skeletal, nervous, endocrine, and reproduction, as well as the coordination between systems in maintaining body homeostasis.
