Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:Explain fetal development during the three trimesters of gestationDescribe labor and deliveryCompare the efficacy and duration of various types of contraceptionDiscuss causes of infertility and the therapeutic options available

In this seminar, we will explore the significance of struggles over reproductive rights in the United States.

Why have attempts to regulate reproduction been so prevalent in American politics?

See-Think-Wonder - This is an introductory activity for my birth control unit.  I introduce a lot of different forms of birth control that the students haven’t heard of before.  So the plan would be to have different stations with the examples of the birth control on each table (room set up attached below).  I will have the students fill out the note organizer (attached below) and have them fill it out.  Students will receive a worksheet for each birth control that is out.  It is okay if they don’t know what it is, as we will be covering all the birth controls in depth.  It will be a fun way for the students to walk around and get introduced to new forms of birth control, also it can be funny to see what they students come up with.

This course offers an introduction to the history of gender, sex, and sexuality in the modern United States, from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. It begins with an overview of historical approaches to the field, emphasizing the changing nature of sexual and gender identities over time. The remainder of the course flows chronologically, tracing the expanding and contracting nature of attempts to control, construct, and contain sexual and gender identities, as well as the efforts of those who worked to resist, reject, and reform institutionalized heterosexuality and mainstream configurations of gendered power.

After you have completed the See-Think-Wonder activity the students will be taking an online quiz that will tell them what birth control is right for them.  The What birth control is right for me?-Quiz  is an online app that will walk the students through questions and in the end it will give them what birth control is right for them.  After they have completed this they will then be taking What birth control is right for me?-Survey on Canvas.  They just put their result answer in the survey and then as a class we will be looking at the results.  The survey is anonymous.  We will redo this survey once we have learned about all forms of birth control to see if their results are the same of different. 

This course is designed to introduce and help students understand the changes and continuities in the lives of women in South Asia from a historical perspective. Using gender as a lens of examining the past, we will examine how politics of race, class, caste and religion affected and continue to impact women in South Asian countries, primarily in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We will reflect upon current debates within South Asian women’s history in order to examine some of the issues and problems that arise in re-writing the past from a gendered perspective and these are found in primary documents, secondary readings, films, newspaper articles, and the Internet.
