Topics covered include basic plant morphology, plant reproduction, origins of major agricultural crops, economically important plant products, and medicinal and poisonous plants. Designed for non-science majors and interested students. (3 lecture hours, 2 lab hours)
The organisms, environments and ecological processes of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem are examined through lecture, discussion and field studies. Identification of prairie plants, with an emphasis on species in northern Illinois, is included. Students participate in College of DuPage's prairie reconstructions. Field trips and activities are required. Biology 1100 or Biology 1151 is recommended (2 lecture hours, 4 lab hours)
Special project courses in botany cover topics not otherwise covered by general education courses and other courses in the catalog for the botany discipline. These courses require direct experience and focused reflection in an in-depth study of a specific botany topic and/or the critical analysis of contemporary issues in botany. They are targeted to self-selected students with an interest in the subject matter and involve active participation. The course delivery incorporates an experiential component of no less than 30% but not to exceed 70%. This experiential component may include field studies, interdisciplinary learning, and/or the practical application of botany concepts, theories, principles, and methods with a specific focus. All courses require an orientation session to deliver academic and experiential information (syllabus, academic requirements, field preparation, logistics, etc.). This course can be taken four times for credit as long as a different topic is chosen.

Special project experiential courses in botany cover topics not otherwise covered by general education course and other courses in the Catalog for the botany discipline, while building upon academic knowledge and skills acquired in introductory-level botany classes. These courses required direct experience and focused reflection in an in-depth study of a specific botany topic and/or the critical analysis of contemporary issues in botany. They are targeted of self-selected students with an interest in the subject matter and involved active participation. The course delivery incorporates an experiential component of no less than 30 percent but not to exceed 70 percent. This experiential component may include field studies, interdisciplinary learning and/or the practical application of more complex botany concepts, theories, principles, and methods with a specific focus. All courses require an orientation session to deliver academic and experiential information (syllabus, academic requirements, field preparation, logistics, etc.) Prerequisite: At least one course in Botany or consent of instructor
