Hazards
Instructor:
Sudershan Singh
Biological
Hazards provides a rigorous introduction to infectious diseases and
their affects on both the individual and greater society. We will discuss
topics that range from fundamental cell biology, the immune system,
population, biology, and ecology. The format of the course is short
inquiry- based labs. Resources that will be used to illustrate these
topics have been provided by the University of Washington. Some of these
resources includes a light microsocpe, AIDS videos, and a variety of
lab equipment.
In addition to labs this course will provide review of lecture material that has been covered in other science classes. Each day, the students and the instructor discuss lecture material from their other science classes. The focus will be on solidifying learning tools such as note taking, reviewing, and exam prep.
