Fundamentals of Reproductive Biology, 120.620.01

Description
Do you want to be able to apply reproductive biology knowledge gained in Fundamentals of Reproductive Biology in a real-world context through a service-learning course and working with a community-based organization?
Builds from "Fundamentals of Reproductive Biology" in 1st term (120.620.01). In this service-learning course, students have the opportunity to extend beyond hypothetical applications of what they have learned, and apply their "reproductive biology literacy" to help in a professional, real-world setting. The service component of this course is for students to produce deliverable(s) of use/value for a community-based organization (CBO), to be complemented by in-class activities to absorb and learn from these experiences in working with the CBO.
Learning Objectives
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
  1. Work collaboratively on project for community-based organization
  2. Reflect on their application of basic reproductive biology concepts
  3. Communicate basic reproductive biology concepts and how this biology fits into a practical context relevant to the CBO's project
  4. Explain biological concepts to professionals and lay people
Enrollment Restriction
Graduate students only
Special Comments

This course combines traditional classroom time and outside-of-class activities with a corresponding reduction in class sessions. This class will meet once a week. Students are expected to spend ~6 hours a week on service-learning (work at a community-based organization) in addition to regular homework.
