|
| |
| The course provides non-biology (particularly non-science) majors and entering biology students
| |
| with a foundation in molecular biology, genetics and genomics as it applies to genetic engineering
| |
| and to address the social, legal, and ethical issues that arise from emerging new genetic
| |
| technologies in medicine, agriculture, and law. A major goal of this class is to put genetic
| |
| engineering into a scientific, historic, and social perspective so that students can make
| |
| objective decisions about how this technology should be used in the future. This is a highly
| |
| interactive, team-oriented, problem-based, course that teaches students how to think critically
| |
| about experimental science and the societal issues raised by advances in genetic engineering,
| |
| genomics, and human reproduction. The course is organized into three parts: (1) an interactive,
| |
| media-oriented lecture section that includes hands-on "experiments" and demonstrations, (2)
| |
| films and guest- speakers that bring real-life societal issues into the classroom, and (3) a
| |
| separate undergraduate seminar that focuses on Scientific American articles and is taught by
| |
| teaching assistants. The course will be offered in a distance learning format with a class on the
| |
| same topic at UCLA and Tuskegee University. Thus, students will have the opportunity to
| |
| interact with students and a professor at other campuses.
