Suitable for students new to art history, this two-credit course focuses on the art and culture of the Aztecs, whose empire of splendor, hegemony, and military prowess collapsed among the chaos of the Aztec-Spanish war. Interdisciplinary in nature, the class investigates what Aztec art, material culture, architecture, and even civic planning can tell us about Aztec religion, political ideology, literature, and social systems. As well, it addresses both to the ancient Central Mexican predecessors of the Aztecs and the colonial aftermath of the Spanish arrival.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the structure and function of cells, and how structure and function drives organismal physiology and diversity. By the end of this course, through lecture and laboratory exercises, students should have an understanding of the basic components of cells, how cells and organisms transfer genetic information to future generations, how communication is integral to cellular and organismal function, and how cells and organisms generate and process energy to drive physiological functions. In addition, students will continue to improve skills for scientific inquiry through activities designed to increase familiarity with the scientific literature and science terminology, improve skills to design and critically analyze experiments, foster ability to work with a scientific team, and provide opportunities to improve scientific writing. Any one topic covered in this course has enough material for a course of its own. However, this course will give basic overview of a series of selected topics that are meant to introduce students to the vast field of cellular and organismal biology and the use of biological science in life. Prerequisite: c- or above in BIOL 207 or a C- in any BIOL 100 level course.

By the end of this course, through lecture and laboratory exercises, students should have an understanding of the basic components of cells, how cells and organisms transfer genetic information to future generations, how communication is integral to cellular and organismal function, and how cells and organisms generate and process energy to drive physiological functions. In addition, students will continue to improve skills for scientific inquiry through activities designed to increase familiarity with the scientific literature and science terminology, improve skills to design and critically analyze experiments, foster ability to work with a scientific team, and provide opportunities to improve scientific writing. Any one topic covered in this course has enough material for a course of its own. However, this course will give basic overview of a series of selected topics that are meant to introduce students to the vast field of cellular and organismal biology and the use of biological science in life. Prerequisite: c- or above in BIOL 207 or a C- in any BIOL 100 level course.

Influences of humans on the global environment have reached unprecedented levels, increasing the need for society to strive to live in a sustainable manner. Many issues facing the environment have a biological basis. Thus, an understanding of basic biology is necessary to understand and address many environmental issues. This course will cover the fundamental biology involved with five environmental issues at the global scale: climate change, excessive nutrient loading into ecosystems, agricultural production, chemical contaminants, and loss of biodiversity. Specific biological principles to be covered include energy and nutrient mass balance by organisms and ecosystems, homeostasis and organismal physiology, and population dynamics and conservation biology. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 207 or BIOL 208 or any 100 level GEOL or CHEM 112 or CHEM 115 or permission of the instructor.

This course will examine the molecular, cellular, and organismal aspects of the human immune system. The goal is to arrive at a clear, memorable understanding of how the immune system protects us from disease, and what can go wrong when it is either overly active or not active enough. The format will consist of less traditional lecturing and more active learning, supported by the instructor. Classroom periods will involve collaborative and creative work by and among students to collectively improve everyone’s learning and understanding. A significant amount of independent work outside the classroom is also required. This course does not include a laboratory component.  Prerequisite: BIOL101 or BIOL102 or BIOL105 or BIOL207, BIOL208 and a minimum grade of C- in BIOL209.
