West Virginia Wesleyan College: Fall 2021 - present
BIOL151 - HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I
A study of the structure and function of the human body with emphasis on cells, tissues, skin and the coordination and control of body movements; skeletal, muscular and nervous systems are covered. Course is intended for Athletic Training and Nursing majors.
BIOL252 - PHYSIOLOGY
The study of physiology, the way organisms function. Topics cover different structures and functions of the animal body and body systems that allow an animal to survive in their current or changing environments. This ability to survive in a range of environments is the result of evolutionary, ecological, and behavioral mechanisms. Discussion about how all these aspects integrate themselves into the world of physiology, and how dysfunctions at the organ or system level can entirely throw off the balance of that organism.
BIOL254 - RESEARCH METHODS IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Basic principles of experimental design and statistics for biology majors. Group and individual research proposals, laboratory experiments, and laboratory reports will be an integral part of the course, with emphasis on proper format, statistical analysis, synthesis, use of primary scientific literature, and source documentation.
BIOL320 - ANIMAL BEHAVIOR
A study of animal behavior, with an emphasis on the evolution and adaptive value of behavior. Topics include sexual selection and mate choice, parental care, sociality, communication, and the neural and hormonal basis of behavior. Field and laboratory studies of the behavior of diverse animals. Laboratory stresses independent student projects, in which students design, carry out, analyze, and present an experiment in any area within the discipline.
FYEX101 - INTRODUCTION TO LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION
Introduces students to the purpose and value of a liberal arts education through a series of classroom experiences and presentations from diverse members of the campus and surrounding communities. The course immerses students in the Wesleyan Mission—intellectual rigor, social justice, self-discovery, human dignity, the value of diversity, physical and spiritual well-being, and a deep respect for the natural world—through curricular and cocurricular activities. Particular attention will be paid to the needs of students as they transition from high school and home life to a residential college experience.
FYEX106 - BIOLOGY BOARD GAME
Games imitate life. In this class, students will explore the science of life imbued in board games. Specifically, they will explore the biology behind the popular board game Wingspan! While building an aviary to attract birds, they will examine biological topics such as habitat, diet, nesting, behaviors, and naming of birds. This course will introduce students to the experimental inquiry lens as they take a deep dive into the biology of a birding board game.
