A course for biology majors to study the evolution of organisms from Monera to higher plants and animals. Emphasis will be placed on taxonomy, comparative morphology, and ecology of plants and animals. Biol 115 is NOT a prerequisite for Biol 116. Since Biol 115 has a Chem 131 prerequisite and Biol 116 does not, students may wish to register for Biol 116 and Chem 131 during the same semester. Plus two 8-hour field trips.
Laboratory includes demonstrations, movies, models, and dissection of animal material.
Appropriate for students going into allied health fields, anthropology, and art. This is a field course designed to teach the fundamentals of environmental techniques. This course is appropriate for anyone interested in life or Earth sciences, environmental planning and management, or toxicology. Students receive credit for only one course. No development or application of basic science has just one effect, and many discoveries have lead to several profound and controversial issues facing our society today.
