Bi­ol­ogy 1101 is an in­tro­duc­tory Bi­ol­ogy course. It fo­cuses on the fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ples of bi­ol­ogy, in­clud­ing tax­on­omy, struc­ture, re­pro­duc­tion, hered­ity, de­vel­op­ment and evo­lu­tion. Since Bi­ol­ogy is gov­erned by Chem­istry, a large em­pha­sis will be placed on basic Chem­istry early in the course. Learn­ing Out­comes: Upon com­ple­tion of the course, stu­dents will be­come con­ver­sant on the fol­low­ing top­ics: 1. The Sci­en­tific Method and gen­eral sci­en­tific in­quiry 2. Gen­eral In­or­ganic and Or­ganic Chem­istry 3. Bio­chem­i­cal make-up of or­gan­isms (specif­i­cally Bi­o­log­i­cal Macro­mol­e­cules) 4. Or­ga­ni­za­tion of cells and clas­si­fi­ca­tion of or­gan­isms based on cel­lu­lar com­plex­ity and or­ga­ni­za­tion 5. En­ergy, en­ergy pro­duc­tion and uti­liza­tion 6. Re­pro­duc­tion 7. In­her­i­tance 8. Mol­e­c­u­lar Bi­ol­ogy (DNA, gene func­tion, gene reg­u­la­tion) 9. Biotech­nol­ogy and Ge­nomics The Lab­o­ra­tory as­so­ci­ated with this course is meant to re­in­force the con­cepts learned in the lec­ture and to pro­vide hands-on ex­pe­ri­ence in sci­en­tific in­quiry and ex­plo­ration. From the lab­o­ra­tory com­po­nent, we will bet­ter un­der­stand data ac­qui­si­tion and data analy­sis. Most im­por­tantly, com­mu­ni­ca­tion of the find­ings in the lab will demon­strate the full un­der­stand­ing of learned con­cepts.

Biology 1101 is an introductory Biology course. It focuses on the fundamental principles of biology, including taxonomy, structure, reproduction, heredity, development and evolution. Since Biology is governed by Chemistry, a large emphasis will be placed on basic Chemistry early in the course. Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will become conversant on the following topics: 1. The Scientific Method and general scientific inquiry 2. General Inorganic and Organic Chemistry 3. Biochemical make-up of organisms (specifically Biological Macromolecules) 4. Organization of cells and classification of organisms based on cellular complexity and organization 5. Energy, energy production and utilization 6. Reproduction 7. Inheritance 8. Molecular Biology (DNA, gene function, gene regulation) 9. Biotechnology and Genomics The Laboratory associated with this course is meant to reinforce the concepts learned in the lecture and to provide hands-on experience in scientific inquiry and exploration. From the laboratory component, we will better understand data acquisition and data analysis. Most importantly, communication of the findings in the lab will demonstrate the full understanding of learned concepts.

This course will ex­plore stu­dio pho­tog­ra­phy as a means to com­mu­ni­cate ideas. Stu­dents will learn to use light­ing to trans­form sub­ject mat­ter into metaphor, mood and mean­ing as well as how to de­velop vi­sual co­her­ence within a group of im­ages. Stu­dents will de­velop port­fo­lio level pro­jects that dis­play con­cep­tual think­ing and mas­tery of the craft of pho­tog­ra­phy. Pho­tos by Cyn­thia Xu.

This course will explore studio photography as a means to communicate ideas. Students will learn to use lighting to transform subject matter into metaphor, mood and meaning as well as how to develop visual coherence within a group of images. Students will develop portfolio level projects that display conceptual thinking and mastery of the craft of photography. Photos by Cynthia Xu.

Through class­room dis­cus­sions and out-of-class as­sign­ments, stu­dents will an­a­lyze clas­sic and con­tem­po­rary lit­er­ary texts and their cin­e­matic ver­sions. Stu­dents will ex­am­ine the re­la­tion­ship be­tween film and lit­er­a­ture, with spe­cific focus on the tech­niques used in fic­tion, drama and film and the in­flu­ences of cen­sor­ship and so­ci­ety. Stu­dents will focus on the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences of lit­er­ary works adapted into films.

http://websupport1.citytech.cuny.edu/Faculty/fmasiello/index.htm D550 Fridays 11:30 – 2:00 This course will allow students to examine the relationship between film and their literary sources. Through classroom discussions and out-of-class assignments, students will analyze classic and contemporary literary texts and their cinematic versions. Students will examine the relationship between film and literature, with specific focus on the techniques used in fiction, drama and film and the influences of censorship and society. Students will focus on the similarities and differences of literary works adapted into films.
