Topic covered include the chemical basis of life, biomolecules, cell structure, metabolism and biosynthesis, classical and molecular genetics, and development. The cinelectures include various multimedia presentation methods, including slides, movies, and animations. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=474983 This survey course introduces students to the important and basic material on human fertility, population growth, the demographic transition and population policy. Topics include: the human and environmental dimensions of population pressure, demographic history, economic and cultural causes of demographic change, environmental carrying capacity and sustainability. Political, religious and ethical issues surrounding fertility are also addressed. The lectures and readings attempt to balance theoretical and demographic scale analyzes with studies of individual humans and communities. The perspective is global with both developed and developing countries included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=530500 A new site (http://php.med.unsw.edu.au/embryology) designed to allow interactive development of Embryology resources and information.

The course will take a look at historical experiments as well as modern techniques and the mechanisms of development. The student will follow a variety of metazoan organisms from their start at fertilization through the stages of their development and on to entire organismal and post-embryonic development, learning along the way about the molecular and genetic regulations involved in these processes. See course site for further details. (Biology 310)
