All of the above courses, with the exception of Biology 1000, consist of a lecture, seminar and laboratory format. Biology 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004 are courses that have “open” labs during the fall and spring semesters. This format allows students to complete laboratory work during times convenient to them while being assisted by a laboratory instructor. Students are expected to set aside time in their weekly schedule to complete the required lab work. Biology 1007, 1008 and 1009 have a “closed” laboratory format. Instructors are assigned to teach labs that students have registered for during a specified times each week.
