    Description
    This lecture course provides the non-biology major with an introduction to living things and their environment. Students develop important critical thinking skills as they learn about the process of science, the building blocks of life, the role and regulation of DNA, how populations change over time, the movement of energy within and between life forms, and how species interact with each other and their surroundings. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply an understanding of biological concepts to current issues and their impacts on society. Credit will not be awarded for both the regular and honors versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of "C" or better or "P.".
