This is a broad-based survey course in Biology.
Credit is awarded for completion of all assignments.
The course may also be taken for Honors credit - no extra work is assigned. Students should be aware that there is a large amount of reading and effort for a single credit, non-graded course. However past students of the course have said it was very useful and interesting to them. The title of the course was inspired by a series of essays written by biologist John Moore and other members of the American Society of Zoologists in the 1980 s entitled, Science as a Way of Knowing. We modified this phrase to Ways of Knowing Biology to reflect not only our focus on biology but also our goal of introducing you to the many sub-disciplines of biological research represented on this campus.
