• BIOL 1010: GENERAL BIOLOGY I

  4.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course is designed to provide a one-semester introduction to biology for non-majors and the first semester of a two-semester sequence for majors and others who wish to explore biology in greater depth. The course begins with a sequence that includes the cell as a fundamental unit of life, membranes, cell specialization and diversity, and cellular chemistry. The energy pathways and cycles making up the processes of photosynthesis and respiration are examined. A major amount of lecture and laboratory time is devoted to the important areas of genetics and evolution. Students earning credit in BIOL 1010 may not earn credit in BIOL 1020. (3 lect., 3 lab) LSCI

• BIOL 2020: GENERAL BIOLOGY II

  4.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course is a continuation of BIOL 1010. It includes classification of living orgamisms and a brief introduction to biodiversity. Major processes such as nutrient procurement and utilization, transport, gas exchange, information processing, reproduction and development are compared in major taxonomic groups. The topic of ecology is used as a focal point late in the course to integrate processes and biodiversity. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1010. (3 lect., 3 lab)

• BIOL 2045: NATURAL HISTORY OF REGIONAL ECOSYSTEMS:

  1.00 Credits

  Central Wyoming College

  
  This course is offered in conjunction with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). It involves immersion in the ecosystem, adapting to the natural rhythms of the Earth, which teaches students about cycles and behavioral adaptations at a guttural level. Class work in regional biota and ecology will provide students with information that is easily integrated with the environmental ethics of land management and low impact camping. Field natural history and basic field ecology are key to exploration and minimization of human effects on ecosystems. When this course is part of the NOLS semester, it must be taken concurrently with EDUC 2050 and G&R 2050. On certain semesters it is also taken concurrently with HLED 2010. NOLS semesters are taught experientially, so climate, season, terrain, participants, specific course selection, and other factors generally support some outcomes more than others. When required, this course may be taught by CWC directly and not as a part of a NOLS semester. Prerequisite: NOLS or instructor's permission. (1-5 lect.)
