Course Code:
*Title:
Biomedical Sciences & Environment.
*Format:
Traditional: classroom
Biomedicine -Based Environmental Classes
Distance: Internet/CD
*Hours:
approx. 150 hrs
*Objectives:
This course aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge of biomedical sciences and environment for a peaceful and prosperous life.
Contents of the course include: function of biomedical science, environmental parameters for a better and peaceful life.
*Short Structural Outline:
The syllabus is composed of practical science for the enquiring the needed environmental peace science (includes biomedical issues), which constitutes approximately 70% of the syllabus, and the political, social and economic aspects, which constitutes the remaining 30%.
The syllabus consists of three units:
Unit One: Biology – The Study of Life
Unit Two: Biomedicine and clinical aspects of the environmental peace.
Unit Three: The parameters deteriorate the environmental peace.
The learning outcomes associated with the units of study are presented in four columns:
- Sub-units and topics of the environmental peace
- Depth of treatment to the deteriorated environmental peace
- Contemporary issues and technology for a better environmental peace
- Practical activities of activists for peaceful environment.
The sequence in which the syllabus is presented does not imply any particular order of teaching.
*Textbooks and Reading List:
For bio majors, hands down, it’s Campbell’s Biology. Good, accurate explanations of everything, very comprehensive in topics included, good organization, good figures but not so many that it turns into a picture book instead of a text book.
And “Life: The Science of Biology” by Sadava & all. Also Alberts – Molecular Biology of the Cell from cover to cover. Written by David Nelson, the Principles of Biochemistry is a good book for all students of biology and chemistry.
The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth, E.O. Wilson.
Silent Spring, Rachel Carson. Song for a Blue Ocean
Carl Safina.
