Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:

Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)

If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.

Description:	Explore the process of animal development through lectures, readings, and discussion of papers from the primary literature, with an emphasis on vertebrates and focusing on the cellular, genetic, and molecular mechanisms of development, including cell adhesion, differentiation, determination, and signaling, from fertilization through gastrulation, neurulation, and morphogenesis.
Learning Goals:	Course Learning Goals:Developmental biology is one of the most integrative subfields of biology combining molecular biology, cellular biology, biochemistry, anatomy, evolutionary biology, and ecology. Many research labs in developmental biology are working on questions that have medical implications. My goals for you this semester include:1. Compare and contrast major developmental processes in invertebrates and vertebrates including specification of primary tissue layers, specification of the axis, neural specification, and limb development.2. Describe common techniques for answering research questions in developmental biology.3. Demonstrate how to write a grant proposal including how to ask a testable research question.4. Communicate the scientific literature through oral presentation. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here.
