PBIO 1404 Plant Biology
This course is designed to introduce you to the biology of plants and to the nature of scientific inquiry. You will learn about the biology of plants from the perspective of plant structure and function, ecology, evolution, and diversity. You will investigate plants and the nature of science through field and lab exercises, proposing hypotheses, designing and conducting experiments, and interpreting data.

PBIO 5553 Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis
This course focuses on phylogenetics and the use of molecular data in constructing phylogenetic trees. It integrates theory, discussion of the literature, and practical computer-aided exercises, to understand how molecular sequence data can be analyzed to answer evolutionary questions, such as species relationships, gene evolution, horizontal gene transfer, morphological evolution, co-evolution, and biogeography. During the course you will be guided to construct data sets for questions that interest you, and you will use these to explore various methods for sequence alignment, phylogenetic construction, and various forms of hypothesis testing

Research Experience for Teachers
The RET experience consists of modules that may be taken in the summer by in-service and pre-service teachers, and during the semester by pre-service teachers. It consists of research experience and professional training and culminates in a poster session each semester or summer.
