digestive, integumentary, special senses<br />
and reproductive systems. The course<br />
structure includes three lectures and<br />
<strong>one</strong> laboratory session each week. This<br />
course fulfills the lab science<br />
requirement in the general education<br />
core. (Offered fall term)<br />
Prerequisite: SM 112 Cellular and<br />
Organismal Biology<br />
SM 221<br />
Organic Chemistry I<br />
4 credits<br />
This class focuses on a study <strong>of</strong><br />
carbon-containing compounds upon<br />
which living things are based. It deals<br />
with the structure, bonding and<br />
reactivity <strong>of</strong> compounds that contain<br />
mainly carbon and hydrogen. Emphasis<br />
is placed on understanding<br />
relationships between molecular<br />
structure and properties and on<br />
designing syntheses <strong>of</strong> organic<br />
compounds. The use <strong>of</strong> spectroscopy<br />
in determining the molecular structure<br />
will be included as well. The laboratory<br />
provides hands-on experience with the<br />
tools and techniques <strong>of</strong> organic<br />
chemistry. Fulfills the lab science<br />
requirement. (Offered upon need)<br />
Prerequisite: SM 121 General Chemistry I<br />
and SM 122 General Chemistry II<br />
SM 222<br />
Organic Chemistry II<br />
4 credits<br />
This course is a continuation <strong>of</strong><br />
Organic Chemistry I with emphasis on<br />
mon<strong>of</strong>unctional and polyfunctional<br />
organic compounds and multi-step<br />
methods <strong>of</strong> synthesis. There are three<br />
lectures and a lab every week. Fulfills<br />
the lab science requirement. (Offered<br />
upon need)<br />
Prerequisite: SM 221 Organic Chemistry I<br />
250<br />
SM 224<br />
General Zoology<br />
4 credits (AS)<br />
This course is a survey <strong>of</strong> the animal<br />
kingdom, covering major invertebrate<br />
and vertebrate groups. Emphasis is<br />
placed on structural and functional<br />
relationships related to evolution and<br />
physiology. Lab exercises compare<br />
these relationships among diverse<br />
taxonomic groups. Fulfills the lab<br />
science requirement. (Offered alternate<br />
years)<br />
SM 243/343<br />
Topics in the Environment<br />
3 credits (AS)<br />
This course serves as a spring semester<br />
entry-level course in the environmental<br />
studies program. As such, the topics<br />
will vary <strong>by</strong> instructor and year. Topics<br />
include: forest ecology, invasive<br />
species, oceans, seeds <strong>of</strong> change, and<br />
parasite/pathogen roles in human and<br />
wildlife populations. The course does<br />
not fulfill the lab science requirement.<br />
(Offered annually in the spring<br />
semester.)<br />
SM 250/350<br />
Service Learning<br />
1-2 credits (AS)<br />
An added comp<strong>one</strong>nt to any <strong>of</strong> several<br />
specified courses (Field Natural<br />
History, Environmental Science,<br />
Aquatic Biology, Environmental<br />
Interpretation, and Field Botany), this<br />
class provides students with public<br />
outreach experience while reinforcing<br />
concepts learned in these courses. A<br />
contractual agreement between the<br />
instructor and student(s) will outline<br />
the objectives <strong>of</strong> the project and the<br />
credits to be received at the completion<br />
<strong>of</strong> the project. The course may be<br />
repeated for credit if associated with a<br />
different topic.<br />
