   Course goals (knowledges, skills, attidude)
   

• 
  Understand and explain the basic principles regarding cell structure and function. This background will serve as a firm basis for more detailed Biology courses for which this course is a prerequisite.
  
• 
  Work independently and in collaboration with other to compile, analyze, interpret, and communicate scientific data, issues and ideas.
  
• 
  Utilize critical thinking skills developed throughout the semester in both lectures and laboratory. In summative assessment, much of the credit will come from questions requiring that student apply information to new situations in order to reach a conclusion.
