[Biology-U-L] Summer course: EEMB40: ECOLOGY OF DISEASE

[Biology Undergraduate List]

Need overall non-major units to fulfill some remaining graduation 
requirements?

EEMB40: ECOLOGY OF DISEASE  Instructor: John Latto, Summer Session Period B
Satisfies area C of the GE requirements or overall units needed for 
graduation

This class is specifically designed to use the inherent interest that 
many people have in human health and disease to illustrate the tools and 
methodologies of both ecology and epidemiology. We will cover a broad 
range of disciplines from history to human health but the underlying 
theme will be the use of the scientific principles of ecology and 
epidemiology to study changes in the distribution and abundance of 
diseases. These changes will be examined both using historical examples 
and also by examining current disease patterns and predicting changes.

Student comments from the winter 2008 class:
/'Honestly one of the best courses I have taken in 3 years at UCSB.'
'Never had a course so well rounded.'
'This class was exceptional. Plain and simple. The information and 
instruction were compelling and managed to attain that perfect mix of 
levity and informativeness that is so elusive to most professors. Bravo 
on a truly excellent course.'
