It's Not Easy Being Green: Plant Biology

Program(s): Undergraduate Courses

This course is currently at capacity. Students who currently are on the waitlist will be given priority if places become available.

*Taught Online*  During this course students will obtain a broad tour of plant biology as we explore the evolution, reproduction, physiology, genetics, and ecology of plants. We will also explore the importance of plants to human society. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding scientific research – from experimental design to data analysis and future implications. The course will feature a selection of readings from diverse perspectives about plants, their biology, and their cultural significance. This course will encourage students to use their strengths and interests to explore the biology and significance of plants and will allow flexibility to explore student questions and curiosities.
