General biology is intended for non-majors. Lectures and hands-on labs cover material from atoms to ecosystems, with emphasis on cells, genetics, evolution, and animal behavior. The course engages students to use the scientific method to answer questions and empowers them to think critically about current biological issues. Short writing assignments, the majority of which focus on current medical and environmental issues, contribute to a student’s grade in this course. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory.)
