Category: Biology Major
The purpose of a capstone course is to provide a shared experience among students in the same major. In this course, students are given the opportunity to synthesize and reflect on what they have learned in the various biology courses that they have taken. Having this course be required of students in their senior year provides students with more course material to reflect upon. The biology department chose the Evolution course as the capstone due to the unifying theme of evolution for all the sub-disciplines of biology.
