• General Chemistry I and II and Lab (CHEM 111 and 112)

- These courses center on understanding chemical equilibrium as the key concept in chemistry, emphasizing it as a dynamic balance of forward and reverse reaction rates rather than a static equality of substances.

- Gained hands-on experience with titration, data analysis, scientific documentation, and collaborating with others to perform scientific procedures.

• Introductory Biology I and II and Lab (BIOLOGY 151 and 152)

- These courses cover the biochemical basis of living systems, cell biology, genetics, and developmental biology, and includes lecture and discussion sections.

- Lab focuses on authentic biological research through the SEA-PHAGES program, focusing on the isolation and characterization of novel bacteriophages from the local environment.

• Calculus II (MATH 132)

- This course extends foundational calculus concepts by focusing on integration techniques, applications of the integral, sequences and series, and parametric and polar equations.

• Introduction to Statistics (STATS 240)

- This course focuses on data analysis, probability, and statistical inference, covering topics like descriptive statistics, distributions, estimation, and hypothesis testing.

- It emphasizes critical thinking with data, interpreting statistical results, understanding probability models, and evaluating statistical claims in real-world contexts.
