Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. A comprehensive study of the blood system, including the hematopoietic systems and disorders of the blood in humans. (Five hours of lecture/laboratory per week)

Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. Students earn course credit for undergraduate teaching experience including but not limited to (1) assisting students during laboratory sessions, (2) helping to set up laboratories or lecture/lab quizzes, or (3) conducting PLTL-Excel type workshops for students. Course may be repeated for credit.

Prerequisite: Upper-division standing; senior classification recommended. Expose students to presentations of biological research by faculty and visiting scientists and allows students to formally present a research topic. Students are required to make a formal, oral presentation of a research topic with computer-generated audio-visual materials.
