Biology 1B: General Biology at College of Alameda

This is the second half of the year-long general biology course sequence for biology majors. Successful completion of Biology 1A is required prior to enrollment in 1B.

During the Spring Semester we will study plant, animal and microbial biology.  We will synthesize what we have covered by discussing animal behavior, ecology, and evolution.  The semester will include several fieldtrips. Towards the end of the semester, each student will perform a research project of her/his own design.  For these reasons, at the beginning of the semester students should pay close attention to scheduling.  To facilitate these studies, we will have lectures, laboratory exercises, student oral reports, discussions, and exams.
