    Syllabus/Schedule for Biology 101: Spring 2019 Principles of Biology (Section 001) T/Th 9:30-10:45; Genome Sci Bldg rm100 Professor: Dr. Kelly Hogan [email protected]; Office phone: 843-6047, Wilson Hall room 104B Peer Instructional Team Please see the Sakai homepage and course.care (enrollment code B0F342) for names, times, and locations for review sessions Learning Center Biology Specialist: Robin Blanton ([email protected]) Biology 101 is an introduction to biology at the college level that is intended to serve both majors and non-majors. It is assumed that students in this class do not have a great deal of practice with biology and that any prior experience is likely to be several years ago. Biol 101 students are expected to take a very active role in their learning by completing readings and homework before class, coming to class ready to participate directly with peers and through in-class technology, and reviewing routinely for quizzes and exams. In this highly-structured course, we have evidence that every student can achieve if they are motivated to be an active learner! OFFICE HOURS: Don’t feel intimidated if you’ve never been to a professor’s office hours. You can come alone or sign-up with a friend. You can come in to talk about the course, study skills, mental health issues, your background, you career, advice for future courses to take, etc. I’m a Carolina First advocate, safe-zone trained (LBGTQ), have mental health first aid training, and I’m an advocate for Covenant students, Chancellor Science Scholars, transfer students, international students, continuing education students, underrepresented minority students, first year students, sophomores, students with silent and physical disabilities, students that require oxygen…ANY student! DID YOU KNOW? Asking for help is a sign of strength and self-care! Please ask for help early and often! Small problems are easier to cope with than escalated issues, please do not wait until the end of the semester to ask for help.

  • ANTHROPOLOGY 404 Evolution of Human Nature
    ANTHROPOLOGY 404 Evolution of Human Nature SPRING 2018 COURSE INFORMATION Lectures: TBD Location: TBD Instructor: Dr. Casey Roulette Office: AL 484 Email: [email protected] Phone: (619) 594-2271 Office hours: TBD or by appointment (AL 484) COURSE OVERVIEW Welcome to Anthropology 404, Evolution of Human Nature. In this course you will use evolutionary theories to examine topics often covered in cultural anthropology, psychology, and sociology courses, including human sexuality, male-female relations, reciprocity and cooperation, parent-child relations, kinship and the family, risk-taking and aggression, and human health and survival. Evolutionary theories often do not focus only on humans, so you will utilize cross-species as well as cross-cultural data to evaluate the validity of the theories. In this course you will learn to use a holistic and integrated approach to understanding human behavior, focusing on three evolutionary approaches—evolutionary psychology, human behavioral ecology, and evolutionary cultural anthropology. COURSE MATERIALS/REQUIRED TEXTS Required Texts: Laland, K. N., & Brown, G. R. (2002/2011). Sense and nonsense: Evolutionary perspectives on human behaviour. Oxford University Press. Wrangham, R. W., & Peterson, D. (1996). Demonic males: Apes and the origins of human violence. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Other readings: Posted on Blackboard to download. All students can access the course on Blackboard using their SDSUid and password at https://blackboard.sdsu.edu/webapps/login. COURSE STRUCTURE AND CONDUCT This course consists of readings, lectures, discussion, in-class exercises, quizzes, videos, exams, a written research assignment, and a group project. Lectures will augment the reading material. You are required to complete each week’s reading prior to attending that week’s class.
