(See the Interdisciplinary Programs section of the catalog.) BOTANY COURSES - BOTANY 103. Introduction to Forest Management (1) A Introduction to the opportunities and challenges in managing forest resources. 104. Introduction to Range Management (1) W Introduction to the opportunities and challenges in managing ranges and their resources. LSI 10. General Botany (5) Su, A, W, S A study of the structure, function, reproduction, diversity, and ecology of plants with emphasis on the flowering plants. The role of plants in making life on earth possible is an important theme. One lecture, one recitation, one quiz, and four hours of independent laboratory/hands-on study of plants per week. 112. Plant Kingdom (4) A, W, S Plant kingdom survey emphasizing structure, reproduction, and evolution of the major plant groups. Prerequisite: Botany LSI 10. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. LSI30. Past, Present, and Future Uses of Plants (4) A, W, S A survey of the production and use of plants economically and sociologically important to people around the world. Flowering and non-flowering plants and products such as fruits, forages, grains, medicines, herbs and spices, textile fibers, and lumber are studied. 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. Cannot be repeated for upper division credit. Four lectures per week. 131. Laboratory for Advanced Placement Students (1) Laboratory exercises in Botany designed to accompany high school advanced placement biology courses. Enrollment limited to high school AP Biology students who are formally accepted through the Center for Science Education. One three-hour laboratory per week. LS137. Principles of Life Science (5) A, W, S Course content includes metabolism, genetics, anatomy, physiology, evolution, and ecology. Unifying concepts of all living things will be emphasized. Three hours of lecture and two 3-hour labs with a recitation per week. Recommended for Elementary Education majors. LS140. Environment Appreciation (5) A, W, S Development of awareness of the consequences of the impact of modern science through technology upon our environments and how we respond or ought to respond to all 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. Cannot be repeated for upper division credit. Five lectures per week. 160. Local Flora (4) S Classification and identification of higher plant forms found in Utah. Three lectures and one lab a week. This class cannot be used to fulfill requirements for a major or a minor. 201.
