BIOS 1700 - Life Science for Non-Majors

This is a laboratory-lecture-based content course for non-majors that provides a comprehensive overview of the life sciences (taxonomy, anatomy and physiology, ecology and evolution). The course is taught by inquiry using a series of open-ended problem solving environments, many of which have been developed with reference to the history of biology, to encourage critical thinking and insight into the nature of science as an intellectual activity.
