Syllabus: |
This course takes molecular, cellular, whole body, population and evolutionary approaches to understanding biology as it pertains to human function and the interactions of the body with the environment. In many cases, our understanding of human function is best derived from studies of mammalian and non-mammalian organisms, and such models will be discussed. The themes that will be covered include: the organisation of the body, evolution, regulation of gene expression, communication and control systems in the body; developmental biology and defence systems. Students in this course come from a very broad range of programs and academic backgrounds. Learning is supported by online resources, active-learning lectures, regular quizzes, workshops to practice application of knowledge, and laboratory practicals. The biomedical focus of this course is complemented by different aspects of biology in Biology I: Molecules, Genes and Cells, and Biology I: Organisms. Biology spans an incredibly wide range of themes. Suitable preparation for studying Level II courses in biology-based disciplines generally requires two semesters of Level 1 BIOLOGY. |
