    Description
    This is an introductory course for non-science majors that explore major biological principles as they apply to human beings. Problem solving and critical thinking skills will be emphasized as students investigate the structure and function of the human organism. Areas of study include the major body systems, human evolution, homeostasis, cells, tissues, heredity, gene expression, biotechnology and the interaction of humans and the environment. Weekly laboratory experiments on all major topics will allow the student to use the scientific method to gain knowledge and practical experience in the collection and analysis of data, and in drawing appropriate conclusions. This course meets the LMC General Education Requirement for Natural Sciences.
