BIO 130 - Introduction to Botany [GEKN]
This non-majors course emphasizes the hands-on study of plant diversity. Lectures and labs will highlight organismal form and function, life history, ecology, and evolutionary adaptations and relationships. Students will gain an appreciation of basic principles used to unify and organize the diversity of plants and of the methodology used in scientific disciplines to advance our knowledge of plant biology.

BIO 130 is designed to highlight the basic principles that biologists use to unify and organize the diversity of plant life. Evolution, as biology’s central organizing principle, and adaptation to diverse habitats provide the framework for the course. Students will apply the scientific method and its assumptions to pose and answer questions by conducting experiments and analyzing data in the lab. Because the course is structured around evolutionary principles, students will attain a basic knowledge of current scientific understanding of the universe and the laws that govern it and will allow students to become scientifically literate citizens. As such, BIO 130 meets the outcomes for a Natural Science Course in the Knowledge of the Disciplines category of the General Education program.

Students will apply the scientific method and its assumptions to pose and answer questions by conducting experiments and analyzing data in the lab. Because the course is structured around evolutionary principles, students will attain a basic knowledge of current scientific understanding of the universe and the laws that govern it. Furthermore, given that ~40% of Americans reject the theory of evolution, this knowledge will allow students to become scientifically literate citizens. As such, BIO 140 meets the outcomes for a Natural Science Course in the Knowledge of the Disciplines category of the General Education program.

We frequently encounter the plant kingdom in our daily lives - in food, shelter, textiles, medicines, drugs, pesticides and perfumes. In this course, we will learn about the fascinating interactions between plants and humans. We will investigate how plants are named and classified in various cultures, how plants played an important role in the origins of civilization, and how plants may likely be the solution to serious global issues like hunger, malnutrition, and our current energy crisis. Topics will include: crop domestication (how did we get the rice and wheat all humans now depend on?); the evolution and conservation of genetic and biological diversity (why is it important to conserve the Amazon forest before it disappears?); biotechnology (is it ethically acceptable to export a crop that we manipulated in the lab that we, Americans, are reluctant to consume?); drugs and alcohol (should Michigan residents be allowed to use Marijuana for medicinal purposes?); natural dyes (how do we make blue jeans blue?); the movement of plants among cultures around the world (coffee and tea are not native to North America and yet we depend on them to start our day) and biofuel alternatives (will we all be driving cars fueled by algae soon?). These topics are selected for both their local and global impacts in order to help students become critical thinkers on important issues that have a direct influence on their daily lives. With the successful completion of this course, students will see plants, the campus, their world and their decisions in a new light. As such, BIO 215 meets the requirements of a Global Awareness course in the General Education program.

BIO 226 fulfills the General Education Program’s Global Awareness requirement for Perspectives on a Diverse World by exploring the ecological principles critical for sustaining diverse human societies found in diverse settings on our planet. Global human concerns including food, health, transportation, and climate will be addressed within the frame of ecological processes and consequences.
Ecology is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of organisms. Topics for this course include: What factors limit the distribution of organisms? How are distributions likely to change with projected climate change? Why do some species become invasive pests when introduced to new areas of the globe while causing no problems in their native ranges? How can humans sustainably harvest other species for food, timber, and other uses?
Topics for this course connect to global impacts in order to help students become critical thinkers on important issues that have a direct influence on the daily lives of people around the world. After completing this course students at a minimum should be able to understand the ecological limits related to global problems such as food production, public health, climate change, and conservation of biodiversity. In these ways, BIO 226 meets the requirements of a Global Awareness Course in the General Education program
