In the Principles of Biology course, students will embark on a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental concepts that underlie the study of life. Throughout the semester, emphasis will be placed on developing a robust understanding of the core themes of biology, enabling students to identify and analyze real-world examples that exemplify these themes. An integral component of the course involves critical thinking skills, particularly in the evaluation of scientific studies related to vaccines, pseudoscience, and other contemporary issues. Students will learn to discern the soundness of study designs, facilitating a nuanced understanding of the scientific method.
