Biology faculty members including Drs. Finnerty, Stokes, Eisen, Marsteller, Mills, Orloff, and Spell are revising Biology 141 (Cell and Developmental Biology with Lab). This course is taken by a high percentage of Emory undergraduates since it is a foundation for future biological study and a requirement for many professional schools. Since this course is meant to prepare students for future study, the faculty wanted to revise the course in order to prepare Emory University students for successful scholarship and leadership in the 21st century. Problem-based learning will be implemented into the course, which will be interactive, inter-disciplinary, and inquiry-driven. The revised version of the course will be taught during the fall 2005 semester under the name Foundations of Modern Biology with Lab.
