Fall 2004 (L. Gregg-Jolly): Biological responses to stress.
In this course, we will investigate ways that biologists seek to understand
how organisms can interact with their environment and change in response to
varying environmental conditions. Since microbes are excellent model systems
for biological inquiry, their response to stressful environments will be emphasized.
Students will formulate hypotheses regarding stress responses, design and conduct
experiments to test their hypotheses, and communicate the results of their experiments.
The class will have three, one hour and fifty-minute meetings per week that
combine lab, lecture, and discussion. Class meetings will be held from 10:00
to 11:50 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Science 1605 and 1608. This
course will be taught in a workshop format, integrating lecture, laboratory
work and discussion in each class period.
