OPEN TO STUDENTS WHO COMPLETED BIOL 110L.02 with Dr. Stein.

Instructor permission required.

Second semester of a year-long introductory sequence for students with an interest in the biological sciences. Topics include evolution, organismal diversity, functional biology, and ecology. This course differs from BIO 113 in that there is a greater emphasis on natural history and less emphasis on mathematical modeling of biological processes. Note that both BIO 111 and BIO 113 are designed for students who intend to major in biology. The course includes two lectures, one recitation per week, and a bi-weekly laboratory.

Please note that the laboratory is required. Students will be prompted to register for BIOL 099. BIOL 099 A-week labs begin the week of 1/27/2025 and BIOL 099 B-Week labs begin the week of 2/3/2025. Students will attend these labs every other week.

The objective of the International Genetically Engineered Machines competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA technologies over the course of the summer. iGEM projects aim to solve local, real-world problems, for example by engineering bacteria that can break down plastic waste. You will design your own experiments, construct new genetic parts, and validate the constructs using new characterization assays. In addition to the wet-lab research, iGEM involves mathematical modeling to predict the behavior and guide the design of the new biological parts and characterization assays. Students also design, construct, characterize, and improve their own piece of hardware that will work together with the designed biological organism. The policy and practice component addresses the social, legal, and ethical issues of the project. iGEM is multi-disciplinary, highly collaborative, and student-managed. You will travel to Boston and interact with 300 universities from all over the world.

This interactive course teaches 'real life' communication skills and strategies that help students present their best professional selves and develop a fulfilling career. Students will explore and articulate their internship, career and graduate school goals for distinct audiences and purposes as they develop a professional communication portfolio of materials such as resumes, cover letters, statements of purpose, electronic communications, elevator pitches, project descriptions and abstracts, and online profiles (i.e., LinkedIn). Students will revise and refine their written and spoken work across the semester based on feedback from peers, instructors, and alumni. By the semester's end, students will have gained extensive experience with the communication skills expected in today's competitive environment. The class can be used to fulfill 1 of the 2 required Upper-Level Writing experiences in biology, and is suitable for junior and senior year biology majors. NOTE: every other class will take place online. Courses in the WRTG 27X series may not be taken more than once for credit.

Drawing on the concepts of discourse community and rhetorical genre analysis (e.g., Bazerman, Berkenhotter & Huckin, Swales), this course investigates ways of understanding the choices writers make when communicating about the natural, social, or applied sciences, with the goal of better understanding how to read and write as an ‘insider’ in your chosen discipline. You will develop a technical vocabulary and set of skills that allow you to describe recurring patterns and writer choices within those patterns. Using these tools, and talking to experts in your chosen discipline(s), you will investigate disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries, how writers convey meaning in different situations, and why they make the writing choices they do. Through a final research project of your choice, you will practice using what you have learned to communicate the results of your own research. This course is especially suitable for dual-major students, or those heading to graduate or health professions schools. Courses in the WRTG 27X series may not be taken more than once for credit.
