Student Learning Outcomes

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the following outcome-based learning skills:

  1. Knowledge of the diverse structure and physiological functions of the cell.
  2. Knowledge of the eukaryotic cell, ranging from membrane and internal composition, transport, cellular division, movement, energetics, reproduction, cell regulation, signal transduction, apoptosis (programmed cellular death), and cancer cell biology. 
  3. Knowledge of specific aspects of cellular biology that push understanding of the cell and lead to an understanding of the broader implications of the role cells play in the living world.
