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.

An advanced course in effective technical writing techniques, including traditional technical writing forms and world wide web communication. This course will have students use electronic media such as internet, presentation, and graphics programs to communicate technical and scientific information to a variety of audiences via written and oral presentations. Students will also analyze readings in science and technology, study technical writing models, and practice collaborative research and presentation. Building on previous writing courses, this course will reinforce clarity of thinking and expression in effective and correct English.
