BIO 1103 - Biological Inquiry

Credits: 1 hr

This is a seminar course designed for entering freshmen interested in majoring in biology. The students will be introduced to academic concentrations and academic requirements in life sciences. Emphasis will be placed on becoming familiar with library, computer, and other resources at the University. Students will be taught effective ways to manage time, thereby, enabling them to cope with academic stress. Major emphasis will be placed on how biologists ask questions and scientific literature by examining roots, prefixes, and suffixes that form the basis of scientific terminology. Scientific terms used in basic and clinical sciences will be covered. (One-hour lecture and 1-one hour recitation period per week.)
