HBIO 101 - Biological Science for Non-Majors

Credit Hours: 3

Biology is the study of life. It provides a knowledge and understanding of the earth and all the organisms that inhabit it. The main goals of this course are for the students to (1) apply the scientific method to questions/problems posed in class and current scientific news and events, (2) identify and describe the basic chemical, molecular, and genetic make-up of the human body, (3) summarize the process of evolution by natural selection, and (4) list the structure and function of the major organ systems and describe how the environment and genetics can affect the ability of those organs to function. This course has a studio format in which lecture and laboratory activities are integrated.
