Courses in FIG:
UGST 109 FIG Seminar
TIME | BUILDING | CRN | 1 Credit
Have you ever wondered how much you have in common with fish? In this FIG, we will unveil your “inner fish” through an exploration of genomics, evolution, and development. We will de-mystify scientific literature, discover unique creatures, and find commonalties across nature.
Please note that the math placement test must be completed prior to students being eligible to enroll. Students planning to take Chem 111 only need to complete the math placement test, but are encouraged to complete both placement tests to ensure they are in the appropriate Chemistry class.
CH 111: Introduction to Chemistry Principles
Science (>3) | TIME | BUILDING | CRN | 4 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to a limited number of chemistry topics and applied mathematics themes that will enable students to progress to the CH221, 222, 223 General Chemistry course sequence. Students in this course will learn to think like a chemist and will study phenomena in terms of macroscopic, sub-microscopic and symbolic interpretations and representations. In addition to lectures, there will be group work and on-line homework assignments, all of which are designed to build your basic knowledge and scaffold that knowledge to develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills that will lead to success in this and future science courses.
ERTH 203: History of Life
Science (>3) | TIME | BUILDING | CRN | 4 Credits
Origin, history, and physical evolution of the Earth; geologic time scales, development of the global stratigraphic section. Weekly lectures, two-hour laboratory.
