COURSE OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Identify the major themes of biology and use these themes to explain a wide range of natural phenomena,

2. Enumerate the approaches used by scientists to define and resolve problems, be able to contrast scientific with non-scientific problem solving processes, and place a greater value on the

processes used to conduct scientific investigations and the results of these investigations,

3. Describe the characteristics of living things, and apply this knowledge to decisions of when life begins and ends,

4. State the basic biological concepts necessary for personal well-being, including the structure and functions of the major systems of the human body, the principles of homeostasis, and the

nutritional requirements of humans,

5. Explain the historical development of our knowledge of genes as units of inheritance,

6. Understand the major themes of evolution including patterns and products of change.

GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course presents scientific and biological principles through the study of humans as exemplary organisms. It will explore current scientific issues,

develop critical thinking skills, and examine the structure and function of the human body in relation to health and disease. Issues relevant to both

individual wellness and maintaining a healthy environment will be examined, as well as primary biological principles such as evolution, homeostasis,

scientific method, introductions to cell theory, characteristics of life, the organization and functioning of some of the body systems, genetics and DNA,

evolution, ecology, biodiversity, and the ecological consequences of human activities.
