Most RC courses are open to LS&A students and may be used to meet distribution requirements.
RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE WAIT LIST PROCEDURES
Residential College students are given priority in all Residential College courses during the Early Registration and registration periods, and from waitlists. RC courses which satisfy specific Residential College graduation requirement are reserved for RC students only (e.g., RC language courses).
Waitlists of Residential College courses are maintained in the Residential College Counseling Office, 134 Tyler, East Quad. When a course fills, students should contact the RC Counseling Office (647-4359) to be placed on a waitlist if one is being maintained.

232. History of Life. (4). (NS).
(BS).
This course surveys the history of life through geologic time and introduces
biological diversity from the perspectives of evolutionary biology and ecology.
Factual content focuses on the historical development of life on earth as
known from the fossil record and the diversity, ecology, and adaptations
of living organisms. Principles and concepts of historical geology, evolutionary
biology, and ecology form the conceptual core of the course. Subjects include
earth history, origin of life, origins of species and major groups, constraints
on the design of organisms, controls on biological diversity, extinction
and the current loss of biodiversity, climate and evolution, and human evolution.
We will regularly discuss the relevance of earth history and evolution for
various social and political issues, such as conservation of biodiversity,
nature vs. nurture in human behavior, and the ethical treatment of other
species. Several field trips will demonstrate the biodiversity of organisms,
habitats, and ecosystems. There will be regular written exercises, a term
paper, and two exams. (Badgley)

263/Urban Planning 263. Energy and the
Environment. (4). (NS). (BS).
This course introduces the concepts of energy and the environment, which
then serve as a basis for discussion of pollution, scarcity of resources,
technological impacts, and the future of humankind. Topics include a survey
of non-renewable and renewable resources and current energy use patterns,
nuclear power issues, and the prospectus for, and problems with, alternative
energy scenarios. Possible energy futures for both the developed and developing
worlds will be discussed. In particular, we will consider the implications
for energy choices in terms of life styles, policies, and ethical considerations.
There are no college prerequisites, but students should have quite a bit
of experience beyond ninth grade math. (Bar-Nur)
