BIOL 301 - (3) (Y) Cell
Physiology Prerequisites: BIOL
201, 202 Studies cell structure
and function, metabolism, membranes and transport, and cellular specializations.
Explanation
of example BIOL 301--course mnemonic (see glossary) and number. Variations include GREE 101-102 where two semesters of a course must be completed to obtain credit toward a degree, or ENWR 103, 104 where credit may be obtained by taking either semester or both.
(3)--number of credits that will be earned upon
successful completion of the course. Where courses are dually numbered (101-102
or 103, 104), the number of credits represents the number of credits for each
section of the courses, e.g., three credits for 101 and three credits for 102.
(Y)--code
for frequency with which the course is offered. Variations are: S offered
fall and spring semesters Y offered
at least once every academic year (fall or spring semester) E offered
when the fall semester occurs in an even year (e.g., 2000-2001)
O offered when the fall semester occurs in an odd year
(e.g., 1999-2000 or 2001-2002) SI offered
upon sufficient student interest IR offered
irregularly SS offered during summer
session
Cell Physiology--course title Prerequisites:
BIOL 201, 202.--Prerequisites are courses or conditions that must be successfully
completed prior to enrollment in the course described. Prerequisites separated
by a comma indicate a series of prerequisites, all of which are required. Variations
include BIOL 101 or 201 where either course, but not both, must be taken
prior to enrollment in the described course. An exception occurs when or
precedes the last entry in a series, in which case the commas indicate or
throughout (e.g., BIOL 101, 201 or equivalent). Corequisite means
that concurrent enrollment in the course or courses designated and the course
or courses described is required. A study of cell structure and function, metabolism, membranes and transport, and cellular specializations--Course description. |
