BIO1582

This laboratory course introduces students to the core concepts of ecology and evolutionary biology - the scientific frameworks that explain the diversity of life and the interactions among organisms and their environments. Through laboratory exploration, students will identify and evaluate the general tenets of evolutionary theory, identify and apply principles of ecology and biodiversity, identify the major episodes in the geological history of life, and evaluate and describe the evolutionary history of the Earth’s major plant and animal groups. This course is designed for science majors as a gateway to more advanced coursework in biology and related disciplines but also serves non-science majors as a general education course.Eligibility: ENG 1510 without supports or Corequisite: ENG 1510 with supports; Corequisite: High School Chemistry or CHE 1500 (or higher); Corequisite: MAT0550 or Eligibility: MAT 1590; Corequisite: BIO1581.
