BIOL 210 - Problem Solving for Majors Cellular Biology


1.0 Credits
Designed specifically to improve student success in BIOL& 211 (was BIOL 201). Provides practice for solving quantitative problems with improved overall understanding of principles. MANDATORY participation S/U grading (was BIOL 211). Prerequisite: ENGL 100 , MATH 090  and CHEM& 121  (was CHEM 101) or CHEM& 143  (was CHEM 133) or equivalent each with a grade of 2.0 or higher. Concurrent enrollment in BIOL& 211  (was BIOL 201) is also required.

Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of the 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. [REASON]
  2. Interpret, analyze and graph data, use equations and perform calculations in practice problem sets, and Biology&211-related laboratory examples. [REASON]
  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. [REASON]
  4. Assess which levels of analysis are most appropriate for approaching a particular biological problem. [REASON]
  5. Discuss and describe principles of biology taught in Biology&211 in a small group environment. [COMMUNICATE]
  6. Communicate (both in writing and orally) their understanding of the various biological concepts taught in Biology& 211. [COMMUNICATE]
