What will I learn?
The General Biology Course provides a focused, hands-on introduction to pond ecosystems, from abiotic drivers and trophic interactions to cellular processes and rapid evolutionary responses. You will design simple field studies, apply practical sampling and lab methods, analyse ecological and genetic data with basic statistics, and communicate clear, well-structured scientific findings in concise written reports.

Develop skills
- Analyse freshwater cell processes: link hypoxia, stress, and organism health fast.
- Map pond food webs: quantify trophic roles, algal blooms, and ecosystem services.
- Design pond field studies: plan sampling, controls, replication, and time series.
- Measure and interpret data: DO, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, stats, and clear graphs.
- Assess rapid evolution: test genetic variation, plasticity, and selection in ponds.
