Course Information

This course is an introduction to scientific and biological principles through the study of humans as exemplary organisms. Lectures and laboratory exercises will explore current scientific issues, develop critical thinking skills, and examine the structure and function of the human body in relation to health and disease.

This is a full semester, face-to-face course with TWO mandatory laboratory meetings every week. Please note:  Due to COVID-19, lectures and labs will unfortunately be virtual.  Plan to be available during scheduled class periods for Zoom meetings and exams.
