Suitable for First-Years interested in pursuing a major in biology, neuroscience or environmental studies or the pre-health curriculum. Securing a lab section (BIOL 113) only does not save a space in a lecture section (BIOL 111). An intensive investigation of scientific thought and communication applied to topics that vary among sections and terms. Specific subjects, chosen from within the scope of modern biological investigation according to the expertise of individual instructors, are examined in the context of major concepts such as evolution, regulation, growth, and metabolism. This course, and its companion laboratory, are prerequisites for all higher level biology courses.
