Students will be expected to begin conceptualizing course content from a question-driven and problem-solving perspective. Students will be expected to learn and use correct technical vocabulary in their discussions of course content. Students in BIS2A will be asked to begin developing the ability to identify and articulate the key scientific and biological questions that are at the core of the course content. It is critical for students in biology or related fields to develop a strong conceptual foundation and to demonstrate their ability to use it in contexts that may be novel to them. Biology is an exciting, broad, and dynamic field. It is important to realize that BIS2A is not a survey course in biology. Students are introduced to the fundamental chemical, molecular, genetic, and cellular building blocks of life, biological mechanisms for the recruitment and transfer of matter and energy, basic principles of biological information flow and cellular decision making, and core concepts underlying the relationships between genetic information and phenotype. BIS2A provides a foundation in key biological concepts that are of use across a broad spectrum of majors. BIS2A is the first of three courses in the lower division core sequence in the biological sciences. BIS2A is a 5-unit course with either three 50 minute or two 1 hour and 50 minute lectures (depending on the quarter) plus a 2-hour discussion each week.
