This course deals with the general principles of animal biology focusing on the structures of the body and their organization into special systems that carry on the essential life processes. Emphasis is on the general morphology, anatomy and histology of the frog as bases of comparison with other vertebrate animals particularly the humans. It also includes not only the classification but also the behavior, distribution, reproduction, evolution, and relationship of the animal with the physical and biological factors in the environment. Evolutionary relationships are emphasized. The laboratory activities and worksheets  gives students first- hand experience with a diversity of organisms from structural, functional, and ecological perspectives.

 This course is intended to aid the would-be biologists of the competencies of geneticists. It deals with the basic principles and mechanics of heredity and variation, cytogenetics, mutation, nature of genes, population genetics and evolutionary genetics: biometrical procedures. It also discusses the principles of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans.

This course includes laboratory activities and worksheets, hands-on and computer simulation experiments that cover basic genetics concepts, techniques on the use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation and inherited disease. It also explores the genetics published literature and hone students scientific writing when constructing lab reports.

This course covers the physical laws responsible for the characteristics and behaviors of soils as a construction material. It specifically covers the identification, classification, and structure of soil; index properties of soils; behavior of soils including permeability and deformation; introduction to the theories of effective stress, consolidation, shear stress, and lateral earth pressures.

Course Description:

This course analyzes Philippine History from multiple perspectives through the lens of selected primary sources coming from various disciplines and from different genres.  Students are given opportunities to analyze the author’s background and main arguments, compare different points of view, identify biases and examine the evidences presented in the document. The discussions will tackle traditional topics in history and other interdisciplinary themes that will deepen and broaden their understanding of Philippine political, economic, cultural, social, scientific and religious history.  Priority is given to primary materials that could help them develop their analytical and communication skills.  The end goal is to develop the historical and critical consciousness of the students so that they will become versatile, articulate, broad-minded, morally upright and responsible citizens.

Course Learning Outcomes. By the end of the course, the students should be able to:

1. identify credible and authentic primary sources that can be used in reconstructing the rich history of the Filipino people from pre-colonial times to the present;

2. analyze the context, content, and perspective of selected primary sources and determine their contribution in understanding the history of the Filipino people’

3. develop critical and analytical skills as they are exposed to primary sources;

4. demonstrate the ability to use primary sources to enable them to argue in favor or against a particular issue;

5. effectively communicate, using various techniques and genres, their historical analysis of particular event or issue that could help other people understand the chosen topic;

6. display the ability to work in a team and can contribute to a group project; and

7. manifest interest and concern in promoting and preserving our country’s national patrimony and cultural heritage.
