| Description | This course examines the structures and processes that contribute to the inner-workings of the eukaryotic cell. This knowledge is vital in understanding our bodies and helps to inform many other fields. We develop this knowledge through paired seminar and laboratory sections. Students complete independent research projects to examine one detailed aspect of the cell and communicate the results in oral and written formats so others learn the breadth of cellular capabilities. Much of the lab work takes place in smaller groups outside of scheduled class time, thus students spend more hours on course-related work outside of class compared to other courses. This course is designed with an active learning, flipped classroom approach; students learn a lot of the content through independent activities rather than lectures or textbooks. |
