This fall semester you
could be a number
in a large lecture course OR you could try Integrative Biology (IB) 100
(3 hrs W/discussion)
or IB 101 (4 Hours W/lab).
The instructional staff,
including lecturers and teaching assistants are dedicated to helping
you understand biology.
You will learn about:
human impact on ecosystems and global climate change; cancer, the
workings of your genes, and biotechnology; and biodiversity, and the
processes of evolution.
IB
100 includes a
one-hour lecture section that will meet at 9:00 AM Mondays and
Wednesdays, plus a one-hour discussion section (20 Students) once each
week.
IB
101 shares the lecture with IB 100, but students attend a lab
instead of the discussion section (20 students).
The Course is designed
around a set of learner objectives that clearly define what you are
expected to learn and be able to do.
Lectures engage students
in interactive learning activities.
Small discussion and
laboratory sections provide a chance to get to know your instructor and
classmates and
reinforce your understanding of concepts introduced in lectures.
Guided assignments help
you prepare for exams by constructing a meaningful understanding of
biological concepts rather than just memorizing facts.
Extensive learning
resources are provided on the course web site
(http://www.life.uiuc.edu/bio100/).
A variety of optional,
extra credit learning opportunities are available to help you learn by
following your interests and creative talents.
The textbook is
available in traditional hard-back or as a less expensive,
interactive, electronic version that can be downloaded to your computer.
