Change an existing course

Developmental Biology

PCB

Senior (4xxx)

253 C

This request is to modify the course prerequisites. We wish to drop PCB3063C Genetics as a prerequisite. We will maintain PCB3023C Molecular and Cellular Biology as a prerequisite. We are making this change to increase enrollment in this course, as most students have not completed both prerequisite courses until their senior year.
New Course Description:

A study of gametogenesis, fertilization, and embryogenesis at the descriptive and molecular levels and of related developmental problems such as regeneration and carcinogenesis. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (A laboratory fee of $51.93 will be assessed.)

(GM) Design of Experiments

STA

Senior (4xxx)

202

Action: Add STA 2023 and STA 3032 as possible prerequisites for STA 4202. 
Motivation: They should be part of the prerequisite choices. Action: Add STA 2023: (GM) Elementary Statistics for Business and STA 3032: (GM) Probability and Statistics for Engineers as alternative prerequisites for STA 4202: (GM) Design of Experiments.
Motivation: This change was requested by the School of Computing to add to their list of electives choices for the recently approved data science minor, since Computer and Information Science students in different majors take different statistics courses as their prerequisites. This addition is to expand choices for the students.
