This is a non-majors survey of biology. I I cover include photosynthesis, cellular respiration, plant growth and development and plant diversity. I teach this course in the fall. I teach this course in only the spring each year.
Physiology is the study of how plants function and interact with their environment.
This is an upper-level course with Biology 130, Biology 160, Chemistry 105 and Chemistry 106 as prerequisites. I teach one or more sections of seminar each semester. I require student to give to fifteen minute presentations during the semester. Effective teaching requires clear overall objectives and well defined student goals. The use of objectives and goals provides a road-map for students as well as teacher.
