BIOL 119 (4 sh)
The Nature of Science and the Human Body
This course is one of the best kept secrets on campus. It is "officially" recommended that you have high school biology and chemistry. However, many nursing students who have never had high school biology or chemistry have really enjoyed the course and highly recommend it. This also satisfies the biology requirement for nursing and for those who have not had it in high school. It also satisfies a degree requirement for those who need a one semester laboratory science.
This is a one semester laboratory course for non-science majors focused on the nature of Science as a field of inquiry. The emphasis is on the scientific method as a natural outcome of human curiosity. The human body acts as a vehicle to explore the unity of life. Critical thinking is stressed as preparation to fully enjoy a society shaped largely by science and technology. Current trends and/or news articles are incorporated for their topics and exploration of methods used to obtain conclusions.
Students give this course "rave reviews."
I feel that this course was by far the best science class that I have ever taken. Dr. Bradley is a wonderful teacher and made this class very enjoyable.
I think that anyone can take this course who is afraid of taking a science class.
I believe that this class was an inspiration to do better in all aspects. It was fun, yet challenging!
