BIOO 162CS INSECTS AND HUMAN
SOCIETY
S 3 cr. LEC 2 RCT 1
-- Ways in which research and advances in technology in the areas of
insect biology and management have influenced people's lives throughout
the world. Focus will be on insects as major factors affecting the areas
of the world where humans live, crops and animals humans produce, and
general quality of life on the planet. Interactions of insects and human
cultures,technologically oriented and indigenous, non-technology based
cultures, and concepts of pest management will also be explored. Students
generate and test hypothesis and evaluate sources of scientific information
on these topics.
