  • BIOL 1620: Fund. of Biology II

    4.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course introduces the immensity of biological diversity and the timeline of the origin and evolution of life on Earth, focusing especially on natural selection, the construction and interpretation of phylogenies, physiology, and ecological relationships. Taking MATH 1010 or a higher 1000-level MATH class is highly recommended for students in this class.

  • BIOL 1970: Topics In Biology

    2.00 - 4.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    The U of U faculty continues to publish empirical research based upon the outcomes of NOLS students. NOLS uses evidence-based programming to manage curriculum, and routinely audits course content, measuring the hours of instruction. Based on last year's program audits. NOLS semesters (e.g. India & Mexico) actually offer many more hours of Biology instruction than needed for 4 hours of credit, however some semesters offer fewer hours than are necessary. In general, NOLS prefers to align the curriculum with the practical experiences students encounter on the expedition. Pedagogically this organic approach provides greater intrinsic motivation, supports the over-learning that helps students apply basic concepts in broader contexts, and better supports the transfer of concepts.

  • BIOL 2005: Biology of Variation

    4.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    An introduction to biology through the practice of research in quantitative genetics. Working in small teams, students will study continuously varying traits of many kinds in natural populations of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) and experimental populations of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana). How do such traits vary, and how do genetic and environmental factors contribute to this variation? Each team will design its own programs of data collection, analyze its data using the statistical computing language R, and report its finds in writing and in verbal presentations to the whole class. By engaging both in the social and the technical aspects of scientific practice, students will prepare themselves to learn more easily and more deeply from their subsequent courses. Prerequisites: Instructor Consent AND Member of Honors College.
