Zoology
The course first revisits the basic principles of biology including basic concepts of biology, the cell, nutrition, a survey of physiological systems, reproduction, heredity, development, diversity of organisms, evolution and environmental biology. After the foundations of biology are revisited, refreshed, and enhanced, the major zoological principles involving both invertebrates and vertebrates will be explored. There will be special emphasis on animal development, form and function, natural history and economic relationship to human society. Zoology will introduce the student to biological research in preparation for college. This course is designed for biology majors. It is a great course for those interested in animal biology, veterinary fields, ecology, and marine biology.
