BI123, Biological Investigations II: An<br />
introductory course emphasizing the process<br />
of inquiry in Biology. Activities include lab<br />
experiments and computer exercises in genetics<br />
and evolution and fieldwork demonstrating<br />
biological diversity. Corequisite: BI122. (U)(2).<br />
Spring only.<br />
BI250, Research and Analysis in the Biological<br />
Sciences: This course is designed to prepare<br />
biology majors for research (e.g., independent<br />
study, honors thesis or <strong>Butler</strong> Summer Institute)<br />
and internships during their undergraduate<br />
experience. Basic statistical analysis and various<br />
essential laboratory and field techniques will be<br />
covered. Prerequisites: BI121 and 123. (U)(2).<br />
Occasionally.<br />
BI257, Human Anatomy and Physiology: A<br />
lab-based course for non-major students to relate<br />
structure and function in the human body.<br />
Prerequisite: CC214P, any NW-BI course, or<br />
BI120 and 122. (U)(5). Fall every other year.<br />
BI301, Principles of Zoology: A survey of the<br />
basic principles of animal biology, covering the<br />
major animal groups, their evolutionary relationships,<br />
and their structural and functional<br />
characteristics. Prerequisites: BI120 and 122.<br />
(U)(4). Fall and spring.<br />
BI302, Principles of Botany: A survey of the<br />
basic principles of plant biology, covering the<br />
major plant groups, their evolutionary relationships,<br />
and their structural and functional<br />
characteristics. Prerequisites: BI120 and 122.<br />
(U)(4). Fall and spring.<br />
BI303, Principles of Physiology: Analysis<br />
of the functions of all major systems of the<br />
vertebrates with emphasis on mammalian<br />
physiology. Prerequisites: BI120 and 122.<br />
(U)(4). Fall and spring.<br />
BI305, Vertebrate Histology and Microtechnique:<br />
A study of the structure of vertebrate<br />
tissues and the techniques used in microscope<br />
slide preparations. Prerequisite: BI301 or permission<br />
of the instructor. (U)(4). Occasionally.<br />
BI310, Evolution: Analysis of organic evolution,<br />
the mechanisms of evolutionary changes, and<br />
the evolution of higher forms of life. Prerequisites:<br />
BI120 and 122. (U)(3). Spring every<br />
other year.<br />
127 <strong>Butler</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
BI312, Biology of Non-Vascular Plants: The<br />
biology of algae, fungi, mosses and liverworts,<br />
including structure, life histories, classification,<br />
physiology, ecology and experimental aspects<br />
of nonvascular plants. Prerequisites: BI120 and<br />
122. (U)(4). Occasionally.<br />
BI316, Mammology: This course will address<br />
the taxonomy, ecology, evolution, behavior and<br />
economic importance of mammals. The laboratory<br />
portion of the course will emphasize the<br />
taxonomy of mammals and the observation<br />
and trapping/handling of small mammals.<br />
Prerequisites: BI120 and 122. (U)(4). Fall<br />
every other year.<br />
BI322, Vertebrate Biology: Phylogeny,<br />
taxonomy, behavior and life histories of the<br />
vertebrates. Prerequisites: BI120 and 122.<br />
(U)(4). Spring every other year.<br />
BI323, Principles of Immunology: Basic concepts<br />
and techniques of immunology. Prerequisite:<br />
BI105 or BI120 and 122. (U)(2). Fall only.<br />
BI325, Principles of Pathogenic Microbiology:<br />
This course will address microbiological concepts/principles<br />
regarding the mechanisms of<br />
infection and disease of major organ systems as<br />
well as their control. Open only to students of<br />
the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.<br />
Prerequisite: BI105 or BI120 and 122. (U)(3).<br />
Spring only.<br />
BI330, Tropical Field Biology: Introduction<br />
to the habitats, distribution and ecology of<br />
tropical fauna. Includes a field trip to a tropical<br />
habitat during the semester. Prerequisite:<br />
Permission of the instructor. (U)(3). Spring<br />
every other year.<br />
BI339, Philosophy of Biology: A study of<br />
philosophical problems in biology. The course<br />
explores both theoretical problems within biology,<br />
like the evolution of altruism and problems<br />
of taxonomy, and philosophical problems that<br />
are influenced by biological theory, including<br />
the nature of morality and the status of<br />
religious belief. Prerequisites: BI120 and 122 or<br />
permission of instructor. (U)(3). Occasionally.<br />
BI350, Cell Biology: The structure and<br />
function of cells, including the properties of<br />
macromolecules, membrane structure, cell<br />
organelles, cell metabolism and energy<br />
