BIOL 1308 Biology I Lecture for Non-Science Majors (Dual Biology):
This course provides a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans including chemistry of life cells structure function and reproduction. This introductory course is designed to provide non-science majors a conceptual approach to topics ranging from molecular and cellular biology to genetics and biotechnology as they relate to current events cultural and societal issues. Lecture - 3 credit hours.
BIOL 1108 Biology I Lab for Non-Science Majors (Dual Biology):
This laboratory-based course accompanies BIOL 1308 Biology for Non-Science Majors I. Laboratory activities will reinforce a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans including chemistry of life cells structure function and reproduction. Laboratory - 1 credit hour.
BIOL 2301 Anatomy and Physiology I Lecture (Dual Anatomy and Physiology) - Fall Term:
Anatomy and Physiology I is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells tissues and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular nervous and special senses. Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. Lecture - 3 credit hours.
BIOL 2301 Anatomy and Physiology I Laboratory (Dual Anatomy and Physiology) Spring Term:
The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology. Systems to be studied include integumentary skeletal muscular nervous and special senses. Laboratory - 1 credit hours.
AP Biology:
The AP Biology course is designed to be the equivalent of a one-year college introductory biology course usually taken by biology majors during their first year. The course is organized around a few underlying principles called the big ideas, which encompass core scientific principles, theories and processes governing living organisms and biological systems that will provide the conceptual framework, factual knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of biology. Scientific inquiry and student-directed labs will be emphasized in this course. A college board assessment (AP exam) is expected to be taken at the end of the course in the month of May. The course will require work outside the school day and all students are expected to maintain a laboratory notebook and write lab reports.
