Outcomes
  • To develop your awareness of, and curiosity about, the diversity of natural history and the exciting puzzles raised by the behavior of living things.
  • To gain mastery at asking and answering questions about the mechanisms and evolution of behavior by performing observations, generating hypotheses, deriving predictions, and developing tests to investigate the causes of behavior.
  • To compare the social systems of different species and to understand how the study of behavior is relevant to your other courses, to your own life, and to the world around you.
  • To learn to read, interpret and critically evaluate scientific discoveries communicated through the primary, peer-reviewed literature.
