Botany » Program Prerequisite: Enroll in the General Honors Program and complete 9 hours of General Honors courses (see Honors Program). » Grade Requirements: Maintain an overall GPA of 3.5. » Credit Hour Requirements: Fulfill requirements for the Botany departmental or teaching major, of which at least 12 hours must be completed on an Honors basis. A student may receive Botany Honors credit in the following:* Botany 3105 Anatomy Sc Morphology of Vascular Plants (5) Plant Physiology (4) Soils (4) Plant Genetics (3) Plant Ecology (4) Mycology (4) Algology (4) Marine Biology (3) Taxonomy of Vascular Plants (4) Intermountain Flora (4) Plant Evolution (3) Cell Culture (2) Botany 3204 Botany 3214 Botany 3303 Botany 3454 Botany 3504 Botany 3514 Botany 3523 Botany 3624 Botany 3644 Botany 4113 Botany 4252 In addition, complete requirements for a Botany Thesis (Botany 4840, Botany 4850, and Botany 4970). 'In order to obtain "Honors" credit in selected upper division courses in Botany, an Honors Student must meet the following criteria: 1. Seek permission from the course instructor to obtain Honors credit for the upper division course in question at the outset of the course. 2. Enter into a "contractual" agreement with the instructor as to the nature of the project. Generally, these projects could involve: a) Field Research, b) Laboratory/Greenhouse Research, c) Library Research, or any combination of the above. A final written report and/or oral presentation is expected following the specific criteria spelled out in the Botany Department Oral Presentation Criteria form. The nature of the written report format is to be worked out with the individual professor involved. 3. A qualitative and quantitative component, above and beyond that expected of a student in the class taking the course for regular course- credit, is to be met by the Honors student. The qualitative component will usually involve a minimum of a B+grade while the quantitative component is to be worked out between the student and the professor at the outset of the course. Examples of such projects appear below: a. Ethnobotany of a specific native group of peoples is to be carried out through library research involving ten more primary sources and two more books than that expected of a regular student. The final report and/or oral presentation will be expected to meet the course criteria for a minimum of a B+ (regular student must meet the criteria for a minimum of a C-). b. An extensive semester-long field research project, involving the sampling of at least two-more parameters than a regular student would in a similar environment with the qualitative difference for the report/oral presentation expected as outlined above.

(See the Interdisciplinary Programs section of the catalog.) BOTANY COURSES - BOTANY Botany LS1203. Plant Biology (3) Su, F, S An introductory course for non-majors that emphasizes unique features of plant biology. Included are discussions on: the origins of life; important plants of the world and their habitats; plant diversity, structure, function, and reproduction; plants and environmental science; plants that changed history; practical botany; and botany as a science. Three lecture/demonstration hours per week. Botany LS1303. Plants in Human Affairs (3) Su, F, S This class provides a general introduction to the importance and function of plants in human affairs. It includes an overview of science as a way of knowing, plant forms and functions, plant reproduction, and use of economically and sociologically important plants. Flowering and non-flowering plants and products such as fruits, forages, grains, medicines, herbs and spices, textile fibers, lumber, algae, and foliage plants are studied. Ecological concepts as they relate to the growth and production of world food crops will also be included. The course has a strong emphasis on the historical development of exploitation of certain plants and the role plants played in exploration and international development. This class cannot be used to fulfill requirements for a Botany major or minor. Three hours of lecture per week. Botany LS/SI1370. Principles of Life Science (3) A survey course for elementary education majors. Course content includes cells, cell chemistry, genetics, plant and animal anatomy, plant and animal classification, physiology, immune systems, evolution, and ecology. Unifying concepts of all living things will be emphasized. Recommended for students intending to major in elementary education. This class cannot be used to fulfill requirements for a Botany major or minor. Two hours of lecture and one 3- hour laboratory per week. Botany LS1403. Environment Appreciation (3-4) Su, F, S Development of awareness of the consequences of the impact of modern science through technology upon our environments and how we respond to issues related to threats to our biological life- support system. A definition of a quality environment is developed, with student input, and an analysis of the existing quality of our environment is made in light of this definition which challenges our collective wisdom to identify those things which we do well and to prescribe remedies for shortcomings. This course can be taken for 3 or 4 credits with the fourth credit based on a major research paper or project on an environmental issue. Three hours of lecture per week. Botany SI2104. Plant Form and Function (4) F, S A study of the structure, function, and reproduction of seed plants. The role of plants in making life on earth possible is an important theme. This course is designed for science majors and is a prerequisite for selected upper division Botany courses. Two hours of lecture and two 2-hour labs per week. Botany SI2114. Evolutionary Survey of Plants (4) F, S A study of the diversity, ecology, and reproduction of plants in the context of the evolution of life on earth. The role of plants in making life on earth possible is an important theme. This course is designed for science majors and is a prerequisite for selected upper division Botany courses. Two hours of lecture and two 2-hour labs per week. Botany 2121. Career Planning for Botanists (1) F, S A course designed for majors to introduce them to expected student learning outcomes, assessment of these expected outcomes, advisement and/or mentoring, keys to success in getting a job or into graduate school, career resources available, and how to start and develop the Botany Student Portfolio. One lecture per week. Botany 2203. Home and Garden Plants (3) S Basic principles of plant science with special reference to care of home and garden plants. Includes a general study of lighting, watering, soils, fertilizer, pruning and shaping, propagation, controlling pests, and planting designs. Two hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. Botany DV2303. Ethnobotany (3) F, S A global study of how plants are used by indigenous peoples for food, fiber, fabric, shelter, medicine, weapons, and tools. Plants that are well known to science as well as those with purported uses by villagers, shamans, curanderos and medicine men/women will be studied. Students will learn fundamental botanical principles, how General PROFILE ENROLLMENT STUDENT AFFAIRS ACADEMIC INFO DEGREE REQ GEN ED Interdisciplinary FYE HNRS BIS LIBSCI INTRD MINORS Applied Science A Technology CEET CS MFET/MET CMT CDGT ENGR AUTOSV/AUTOTC IDT SST TBE Ms & Humanities COMM ENGL FORLNG DANCE MUSIC THEATR ART Business A Econ MBA MPACC/ACCTNG BUSADM FIN LOM MGMT MKTG ECON/QUANT IS&T Education MEDUC CHFAM ATHL/AT HEALTH/NUTRI PE/REC EDUC MKKAmANMmk CLS DENSCI PARAMD HTHSCI HAS/HIM NURSNG RADTEC DMS NUCMED RADTHR RESTHY Science BOTANY-0**™^ CHEM GEOSCI MATH/MATHED MICRO PHSX ZOOL Social & Behavioral Sciences MCJ/CJ ECON GEOGR HIST POLSC PHILO PSYCH SOCLWK GERONT SOCLGY ANTHRO AEROSP MILSCI NAVSCI Continuing Ed Davis Campus WEBER State Univ 2002-2003 CATALOG E R S I T Y Weber State Univers 2002-2003 CATALOG I T Y
