• ZOOL 3099: Teaching Human Anatomy Lab

  3.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  The purpose of this course is to introduce students to human dissection and the teaching of human cadaver anatomy. In so doing, we will (1) provide a uniform laboratory experience for Zoology 2100 (Human Anatomy), (2) teach the students what and how to teach the human anatomy laboratories, (3) provide the students with the opportunity to teach their peers thus providing experience at public speaking, and, (4) reinforce the knowledge base of the students (the power of knowing something by teaching something).

  3.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  The purpose of this course is to further expose and train students in human cadaver dissection and the teaching of human cadaver anatomy. In so doing, we will (1) provide a uniform laboratory experience for Zoology 2100 (Human Anatomy), (2) teach these advanced students what and how to mentor their junior colleagues in teaching the human anatomy laboratories, (3) provide these advanced students with the opportunity to teach both the 2100 students and other student instructors, thus further improving their public speaking, (4) place these advanced students in a more senior leadership position among their lab instructor peers, and (5) further reinforce the knowledge base of the students (the power of knowing something by teaching something).Due to the complex and pedagogical nature, this course can be taken up to 4 times. Each semester, the focus of the lecture portion of this course will vary from: histological anatomy, developmental anatomy, evolution and pathological/clinically-relevant anatomy. In addition, the prosection assignments each repeated semester will increase in complexity, difficulty and leadership demand. The student instructor experience is maximized by their ability to repeat this unique course by allowing them to capitalize on and improve their past efforts in both the teaching environment and prosection assignment.

• ZOOL 3200: Cell Biology

  4.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  Cells form the basis of all life on Earth and an understanding of cells is essential for examining the features of all living things, including evolutionary adaptations. This course explores the fundamentals of cellular structure and function, including bioenergetics, protein function, membrane properties, cell transport, and cell signaling. Research techniques are emphasized throughout. Applications of cell biology, such as stem cell biology, tissue organization and cancer are explored. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: ZOOL 1110 and the CHEM 1210 and CHEM 1220 series, or approval of instructor.
