Biology I

(View Complete Item Description)

An introduction to cellular and molecular biology. Major topics include the biochemical basis of life, cell biology, photosynthesis, respiration, mitosis, meiosis, genetics, DNA structure and replication and protein synthesis. Students engage the scientific method by designing, conducting and evaluating laboratory experiences that include selected topics in cell structure and function, enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis, genetics and molecular biology. NOTE: Students may receive credit for BIO 119 or BIO 126, but not for both.

Biology II

(View Complete Item Description)

This course is an introduction to organismal biology with a focus on evolution, the diversity of life and ecology. Major topics include the processes and outcomes of microevolution, macroevolution and the history of life, a survey of the major groups of eukaryotic organisms, basic plant and animal structures and their functions, and ecology. Students engage the scientific method by designing, conducting and evaluating laboratory experiences that include selected topics in seedless plants, seed plants, invertebrates, chordates, animal behavior, ecology and evolution. Field-based lab experiences train students to observe, collect, measure and monitor organisms in the wild.

Foundations of Biology 2.0

(View Complete Item Description)

An adaptation of OpenStax Biology and OpenStax Concepts of Biology from Greenfield Community College. in this version, we've curated content from both open textbooks to create a version suitable for an intro biology class in a community college, which frequently includes both biology majors and students taking the course as part of a general education curriculum.

Pre-calculus

(View Complete Item Description)

A preparation for MAT 201 and the physical sciences. Students study principles, properties, and applications of functions and their graphs. They revisit functions introduced in MAT 107 and expand their knowledge of them. The course focuses heavily on circular trigonometric functions and introduces conic sections. Laboratory activities place particular emphasis on the use of functions to model real problems. Computers and/or graphing calculators are used to enhance the study of mathematics. Prerequisites: A grade of C- or better in MAT 107 or a score of 71 or higher on the College Level Math placement test; ENG 090 and ENG 094 (COL 090), or satisfactory placement test scores.
