NSL- This biology course enables students to learn and practice the scientific method as they develop an appreciation of the diversity and complexity of the microbial world. Students will learn the basic principles of structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, as well as viruses, and how this relates to cellular processes, human disease, evolution, and the environment we live in. In the lab, students will learn standard methods of isolating, assessing, and identifying microorganisms. (LAB)
