• BIO 125: EXPLORING BIODIVERSITY

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course provides students with a theoretical and experiential overview of biological diversity. Topical themes of this course include the human connections to biodiversity, benefits of biodiversity, spatial patterns and biological scales of biodiversity, historic and contemporary threats to biodiversity, local to global trends of extinction and endangerment, data collection and analysis techniques, and site-specific management practices to conserve or restore biodiversity. In addition, students will be asked to consider and devise solutions to conservation issues within a sociopolitical context. This lecture course will have an extensive field-based (outdoor) component. Field trips will be conducted during lecture time and on weekends. This face-to-face course is intended for the general education of non-majors and is not applicable to biology major programs or biology major GPA accounting.

• BIO 170: PANDEMIC & INFECTIOUS DISEASES

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  This is a lecture course that is intended for the general education of non-science majors and is not applicable to biology majors' programs and biology major GPA. Infectious diseases caused by infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, have wreaked havoc across the globe throughout time. Infectious diseases not only affect those who are sick but also puts stress on society as a whole. In this course, the progression of disease from incubation to convalescence for many different historically significant diseases will be examined. While studying the biology of these diseases, we will also delve into how these specific pathogens impacted society during their most significant outbreaks. For example, during a tuberculosis outbreak, spitting was made illegal in many US cities. There will also be lab-style activities during the lecture that will be used to discuss disease transmission, spread of disease, hand washing significance, and antibiotic resistance. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to discuss the impact of infectious diseases and be well prepared to conquer the next major historical pandemic.

• BIO 21: KITCHEN & BACKYARD BIOLOGY

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Biology is the science of life. It affects all of us in a plethora of ways each and every day. Informed decisions about the food we eat, the medical treatments we are offered, the health and safety of our local environment, how genetic information passes from one generation to the next, and many other concerns require a fundamental understanding of biology. This course will provide non-major students with a foundation in biological concepts to enable them to evaluate the biological information related to their everyday lives. In addition, students will consider the ethical implications that come with some of the innovations in biotechnology. This course involves hands-on experiences, with an emphasis on the processes of scientific inquiry and the analysis and interpretation of biological data. The lab portion of the course will require some basic lab materials available at a local grocery store. It will also require students to venture out into their local environment in order to observe and collect data. This lecture/laboratory course is intended to be offered in an online format for the general education of non-science majors, and is not applicable to biology major programs.
