Indicator Species on the Rouge with CHEM 123/124 & BIOL 120

CSIE 277: Indicator Species on the Rouge
Students develop original research projects and hypotheses, discuss methodology with biology and chemistry faculty, analyze samples in the biology and chemistry laboratories (BIOL 110/CHEM 122), interpret data, and prepare oral and written reports of their data and conclusions. Academic and professional development of students will be stressed within the context of public health issues. The connections between biological and chemical disciplines emphasized through student cohort participation in the CSIE course and the companion lecture and laboratory coursework in biology and chemistry.

CHEM 123 - General Chemistry II
A continuation of the two-semester sequence covering the general principles of chemistry for science majors and others with an interest and background in science. Lecture: three hours per week. Coreq: CHEM 121. 

CHEM 124 - General Chemistry II Lab
The techniques learned in CHEM122 are reemphasized and supplemented. Laboratory: three hours per week. Coreq: CHEM 122.

BIOL 120 - Introductory Biology II
The basic concepts of biology upon which students can begin to develop a conceptual framework of the discipline will be developed in this course and reinforced in upper-level courses. Plant physiology, development and diversity; and animal physiology, development, diversity, and behavior, will be covered in this second semester of a two-semester sequence. A continued emphasis on inquiry-oriented laboratory exercises and inquiry-oriented methods will be applied to lecture and discussion sections. BIOL120 is required for students taking a major or minor in biology. Course meets for three hours of lecture, one hour of discussion and three hours of laboratory each week.
