Biology 1331 - Plants and Civilization

Faculty: Dr. Karen Snetselaar;

Brief course description
We will start by studying some basic concepts of botany that we’ll need to understand interactions between plants and people. We will then concentrate on plants and plant products used for food, fiber, medicine, and recreation, in the context of their consequences for human history. The goal for the service component of the course will be to extend our awareness of the importance of plants outside the classroom.
