    The U of U faculty continues to publish empirical research based upon the outcomes of NOLS students. NOLS uses evidence-based programming to manage curriculum, and routinely audits course content, measuring the hours of instruction. Based on last year's program audits. NOLS semesters (e.g. India & Mexico) actually offer many more hours of Biology instruction than needed for 4 hours of credit, however some semesters offer fewer hours than are necessary. In general, NOLS prefers to align the curriculum with the practical experiences students encounter on the expedition. Pedagogically this organic approach provides greater intrinsic motivation, supports the over-learning that helps students apply basic concepts in broader contexts, and better supports the transfer of concepts.

    Lectures will explore the relationship between cell structure and function, using examples from prokaryotes and eukaryotes (plants, animals, and fungi). Discussions will focus on the experimental foundation underlying current models of cell structure and function, and the impact of advances in cell science on modern society. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in ((BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR BME 1020 OR AP Biology score of 4+ OR IB Biology score of 5+) AND (CHEM 1210 OR CHEM 1211 OR AP Chemistry score of 4+)) AND Member of the Honors College OR Instructor Consent.

    This a companion course to BIOL 2030 and is intended to be taken concurrently. Students will read scientific literature that is related to topics contemporaneously taught in BIOL 2030. The class will meet once a week to discuss the assigned papers. Topics may include classical prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics, molecular genetics, developmental genetics, population and evolutionary genetics, genome analysis and genome engineering. Enrollment is limited to encourage participation. Prerequisites: Instructor Consent.
