Course Overview:
An introductory biology course for non-majors, this interactive class is constructed of three main topics: the scale of life; genes and the mechanism of evolution; and organisms and their environment. Molecules and life is the launching point with an examination of the physical and chemical constraints with which organisms must contend. Starting with a ‘simple’ chemical system, each subsequent topic takes the student through increasing levels of complexity ending the semester with an overview of major global environmental issues.
