Zoology Course Description

 

Zoology is an upper level, one-year course designed to introduce students to animal biology.  The course will provide an opportunity for students to explore animal classification, comparative anatomy, and evolutionary relationships among animals groups.   Zoology is a dissection-based course that offers a hands-on approach to animal anatomy and physiology.   At the end of this course, students should be able to:

· compare and contrast important anatomical and physiological characteristics used in animal classification;

· understand how the relationship between structure and function is used in the survival and classification of major animal groups;

· describe the  principles that underlie animal development and evolution;

· recognize and appreciate animal complexity through an in-depth study of taxonomy and systematics;

· recognize and classify many common Missouri species of animals;

· research and evaluate career opportunities in zoology.

For a complete explanation of the course, expectations, and grading policy, see the Zoology Course Description.

Great site for taxonomy and classification.
