Course Description: Provides an overview of plants, microbes, fungi and ecology. Designed for non-majors or those interested in learning more about biology. Science majors and pre-allied health professionals should take the 200-level biology series. Topics covered include basic evolution, classification, microbes, fungi, plant structure and function, planet diversity, populations, communities, and human impact on the environment.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- CLO#1: Describe and apply knowledge of the basic ideas, concepts, and principles of evolution.
- CLO#2: Describe and apply knowledge of the basic ideas, concepts, and principles of classification.
- CLO#3: Describe, identify, and apply knowledge of the structure, function and organization of viruses, bacteria, and protists.
- CLO#4: Describe, identify, and apply knowledge of the structure, function, organization, and life cycles of fungi.
- CLO#5: Describe, identify, and apply knowledge of the structure, function, organization, and life cycles of plants.
