BIOL 210 - Problem Solving for Majors Cellular Biology



1.0 Credits
Designed to improve student success in BIOL& 211. Provides practice solving problems with improved overall understanding of principles. Mandatory participation with S/U grading. Registration permitted first seven weeks (six in summer) as space is available.
Prerequisite ENGL 099, MATH 087, and CHEM& 121 with a minimum grade of 2.0, or CHEM& 161 or equivalent with a minimum grade of 2.0.
Corequisite Concurrent enrollment in BIOL& 211.

Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Appropriately use a vocabulary of biological terms, which will enable communication about biology, and analysis and explanation of biological phenomena.
  2. Interpret, analyze, and graph data, use equations and perform calculations in practice problem sets, and BIOL& 211 related laboratory examples.
  3. Work in small groups to develop the skills necessary to solve complicated biological problems such as working in a stepwise manner through various types of genetics problems or problems related to pH.
  4. Assess which levels of analysis are most appropriate for approaching a particular biological problem.
  5. Discuss and describe principles of biology taught in BIOL& 211 in a small group environment.
  6. Communicate (both in writing and orally) their understanding of the various biological concepts taught in BIOL& 211.
