Title Details
Description
This is a course is designed for persons not majoring in the biological sciences, and is intended to satisfy their breadth requirement in biological sciences. We shall consider different areas in contemporary biology, ranging from molecules and cells to populations and ecosystems, that are especially important for the personal and civic lives of college graduates. We shall avoid jargon and specialized vocabulary, and trace historical antecedents and the current social impact of new findings in biology. There will be emphasis in the discussion sections on writing and problem solving. The goal is to demystify and personalize the scientific approach, to explore some interesting and important aspects of modern biology, and to acquaint students with the importance of biological science in contemporary every day life.
