Welcome to Biology 100L: General Biology Laboratory for Non-Majors at SDSU Current Biology 100 Lab activities include DNA fingerprinting, computer simulations, and an emphasis on the importance of the scientific process as a way to understand natural phenomena. To help show biology's relevance to everyday topics, we introduce each lab session with a scenario that illustrates the applicability of that day's lab to important societal issues. These scenarios may vary from a short description of an event that occurred in an individual's life (such as the birth of a baby with Down syndrome), or an issue that might be found in the newspaper (the effect of the destruction of the rain forest), to a problem that the students are given to solve (for example on population ecology) or an ethical situation for discussion (privacy implications of the human genome project).We are increasing our use of animal and plant specimens as well as live material. We've improved the lab manual with the addition of color and a DVD. We recently completed a replacement of all our chairs, computers, and class LCD projectors. We have just received new video microscopes for all the labs. We are always striving to make these labs better. Our ongoing hope is that students find the Biology 100 Lab curriculum richer, more relevant, and therefore more memorable. Comments from students and faculty are always welcome so please offer any suggestions that you have. Thanks in advance for your input! |
