environmental and social problems
facing our society, which are caused
by modifying cell activities.
COMMENTS: This is a course for
nonmajors with no prerequisites. No
previous biology, chemistry, or math
will be assumed. Although not part
of a cluster, this course does meet
one group requirement for science.

READINGS: Grier, BIOLOGY OF ANIMAL
BEHAVIOR
DESCRIPTION: The study of animal
behavior has changed from the
anecdotal stories of the behavior of
pets and zoo animals to an important
branch of biological science. The
emphasis in this course will be on
studies originating with some
observation of an animal species in
its natural environment which then
lead naturally to the exploration of
the phenomenon in more detail. V.'e
will emphasize the evolutionary
aspects of behavior as well as
attempt to understand the mechanisms
that underly it. Since the essence
of animal behavior is careful
observation, films will be used to
demonstrate many of the points
discussed, with ample opportunity to
compare and contrast interpretation
of the behavior observed.

History, Newsweek, Scientific
American as well as instructor's
write-ups and photocopies from
several books.
DESCRIPTION: Throughout history
epidemic diseases have affected
human civilization, not only causing
death and disaster, but also acting
as a catalyst for social change.
During this seminar, we will first
consider the causes of disease and
how they spread. We will then study
case histories of historically
important human and crop diseases
including: The Black Death,
smallpox, malaria, AIDS, potato
blight, and wheat rust. In the
final weeks of class each student
will present a short research pap ei
on a disease of his/her own
choosing.
COMMENTS: Class sessions will
involve lectures, facilitated
Discussions, and student
presentations. Seminar may be taken
only for P/NP grade.
BI 200 MEDICAL TERMWOLOGT (2)
Strange/Stroud
MEETS: 15:30-16:50 U, 16 SC
FORMAT: Lecture
EVALUATION: Weekly Quizzes; Paper
DESCRIPTION: The intent of this
course is to enrich a student's
medical vocabulary through a
programmed learning text, mini
lectures, and relevant guest
speakers. The course focuses on
Latin prefixes, suffixes, word
roots, and combining forms to build
a competent vocabulary. By studying
this vocabulary, students will learn
the fundamentals of anatomy and
physiology; however, the course
requires no previous knowledge of
science. The course is most
relevant to those who plan to have
business contact with the medical
profession.
COMMENTS: Register at the Biology
table during registration.

how plants and animals adapt or fail
to adapt to their environment, how
life originated, how new species
evolve, and that help us to explain
the patterns that are evident in the
history of life.

for both biology majors and students
in other disciplines (e.g. geology,
anthropology, chemistry, general
3Cier.ce, etc.), who desire a more
comprehensive course in evolutionary
