BIOL 210 - Problem Solving for Majors Cellular Biology



1.0 Credits
Designed specifically to improve student success in BIOL& 211. Provides practice for solving quantitative problems with improved overall understanding of principles. Mandatory participation S/U grading. Prerequisite: ENGL 100, MATH 090 and CHEM& 121 or CHEM& 163 or equivalent each with a grade of 2.0 or higher. Concurrent enrollment in BIOL& 211 is also required.

Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Appropriately use a vocabulary of biological terms, which will enable communication about biology, and analysis and explanation of biological phenomena. [REASON]
  2. Interpret, analyze and graph data, use equations and perform calculations in practice problem sets, and BIOL& 211 related laboratory examples. [REASON]
  3. Work in small groups to develop the skills necessary to solve complicated biological problems such as working in a stepwise manner through various types of genetics problems or problems related to pH. [REASON]
  4. Assess which levels of analysis are most appropriate for approaching a particular biological problem. [REASON]
  5. Discuss and describe principles of biology taught in BIOL& 211 in a small group environment. [COMMUNICATE]
  6. Communicate (both in writing and orally) their understanding of the various biological concepts taught in BIOL& 211. [COMMUNICATE]
