  • BIOL 040L KS - Introduction to Biological Chemistry

    This course is designed for first-year students and must be taken concurrently with Chemistry 40L. The two courses together cover the topics in and provide an alternative to CHEM 014L KS - Basic Principles of Chemistry  and BIOL 043L KS - Introductory Biology  and highlight areas of overlap between the two disciplines. Chemistry topics covered include stoichiometry, periodicity, atomic and molecular structure, bonding theory, enthalpy, and phases of matter. Biology topics include introductory material in the fields of cell biology, biochemistry and genetics, including cell structure, metabolism, gene expression, and inheritance. In total, Biology 040L and Chemistry 040L will include six hours of lecture and eight hours of lab per week. Enrollment is by written permission of the instructors.

  • BIOL 067L KS - Conservation Ecology and Management

    Basic ecological principles are considered in order to understand how the ecosystem is structured to accomplish its life-supporting functions. Such background allows discussion of how living, natural resources (e.g., agriculture, grasslands, forests, lakes) can be impacted and manipulated or restored (management) on a sustained yield basis (conservation). Several field trips allow observation of ecosystem problems and practices.
