Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Identify and describe male and female reproductive systems, including the role of genetics and hormones in their development;
- Explain the physiological function of the male and female reproductive systems;
- Explain variation in both developmental and behavioral aspects of human sexuality;
- Describe factors that can affect fertility and the role of genetic screening;
- Describe the process of development from conception to birth.
GE-UD-5. Upper-division Science or Mathematical Concepts/Quantitative Reasoning Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate advanced and/or focused science or quantitative content knowledge in a specific scientific field, using appropriate vocabulary and referencing appropriate concepts (such as models, uncertainties, hypotheses, theories, and
- Apply advanced quantitative skills (such as statistics, algebraic solutions, interpretation of graphical data) to scientific problems and evaluate scientific claims.
- Demonstrate understanding of the nature of science and scientific inquiry and the experimental and empirical methodologies used in science to investigate a scientific question or issue.
- Apply science content knowledge to contemporary scientific issues (e.g., global warming) and technologies (e.g., cloning), where appropriate.
Diversity Overlay Learning Outcomes
- Describe the histories, experiences or views of one or more cultural groups.
- Analyze the overlap or intersection of social identities of oneself and/or other cultural groups (e.g., culture, gender, class, sexuality, religion, disability, immigration status, and/or age).
- Examine the impact of their own identity on their experiences with and/or views of other cultural groups.
