For Fall Semester we have expanded this course to satisfy not only the Introductory Biology Lab but also the COLL 100 requirement in our new curriculum - a course that addresses "big ideas" and has a component of "hands on." Thus in addition to the regular wet lab activities we will introduce a more substantial primary literature component.
