Reproduction & Development
REPD 372 (formerly BMED 372)/3.0
In REPD 372 students will obtain a general background on various aspects of human reproduction, ranging from male and female gamete development to pregnancy and birth. The course will serve as a gateway to more advanced courses in human reproduction and development. Students will apply concepts learned through modules to a simulated case study in which a human pregnancy will be followed from the pre-conception stages to parturition and the post-partum period. Evaluations will consist of quizzes, a written essay, a discussion forum and case study group assignments.
Learning Outcomes
REPD 372 students will be able to:
- Describe key fundamental concepts in male and female reproductive biology to create a framework that can be applied to more complex topics in human reproduction.
- Explain the scientific basis of diseases of pregnancy to determine their implications on health in later life.
- Critically assess scientific literature and media reports in human reproductive biology to support arguments in oral and written work.
- Integrate course content through active discussion with peers to solve case-based problems related to pregnancy, parturition, and other topics in human reproduction.
