General Biology (BIO 1114) is an introduction to the life sciences as a course to fulfill the general education requirement for non-biology majors. The topics include an introduction to the fundamental principles of biology, the scientific method, cell structure and organization, biological molecules and metabolism, the levels of biological organization and systematics, plant and animal systems, Mendelian genetics, heredity, evolution, and ecology. This course does not have an accompanying laboratory session and does not count towards a B.S. degree in Biology.

Outlines for lecture notes are provided here to help students prepare for class.  Additional information will be discussed during each lecture and should be used to annotate the notes found at this website.
