Show A student may receive Botany Honors aedit in the following:* Botany 3105 Anatomy & Morphology of Vascular Plants (5) Botany 3204 Plant Physiology (4) Botany 3214 Soils (4) Botany 3303 Plant Genetics (3) Botany 3454 Plant Ecology (4) Botany 3504 Mycology (4) Botany 3514 Algology (4) Botany 3523 Marine Biology (3) Botany 3624 Taxonomy of Vascular Plants (4) Botany 3644 Intermountain Flora (4) Botany 4113 Plant Evolution (3) Botany 4252 Cell Culture (2) In addition, complete requtements for a Botany Thesis (Botany 4840, Botany 4850, and Botany 4970). *In order to obtain "Honors" aedit in selected upper division courses in Botany, an Honors Student must meet the following criteria: 1. Seek pennission from the cowse 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 die 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- aedit, 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 envtonment with the qualitative difference for the report/oral presentation expected as outlined above.

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 LSI303. 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/SI 1370. 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.
