A Model Introductory Course for the Life Sciences.

Carlson, Elof Axel

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, (Rejuvenating Introductory Courses) n20 p65-76 Dec 1984

Introductory courses in biology are often either designed for majors or watered-down versions for nonmajors that are not stimulating. A course developed for nonmajors emphasizes the relationship of biology to the human condition and focuses on five basic concepts while being flexible enough to adapt to new research and technology.
